洛杉磯-NBA球隊在一場比賽中阻擋20杆球已經過去了近20年，直到洛杉磯湖人隊在星期日晚上在斯臺普斯中心以106-99擊敗底特律活塞的比賽中擊敗了所有人。
洛杉磯以每場7.1蓋帽的成績領先聯盟，當晚，安東尼·戴維斯（Anthony Davis）獨自一人超越了這一紀錄，創下了賽季最高的八次拒絕。賈維爾·麥吉（6個蓋帽）和德懷特·霍華德（5個）也創造了該類別的賽季最高紀錄。
勒布朗·詹姆斯說：``我的意思是，我認為這只是一個令人難以置信的壯舉。一個了不起的壯舉。德懷特，賈維爾和AD，它們使我們很輕鬆。'' “要知道自己身後有安全網...這真是奢侈。”
根據活塞的研究，湖人隊阻擋了25.6％的投籃嘗試（78中的20），這對活塞來說是一個辛苦的夜晚，這是自1973-74年蓋帽成為官方統計數據以來，比賽中蓋帽率最高的一場比賽。伊萊亞斯體育局。
“顯然，這是比賽中的一個巨大因素，”湖人隊教練弗蘭克·沃格爾說。 “我們的三個大個子剛剛打出了出色的籃球。我認為作為一個整體，我們對與鵜鶘隊交出68分的油漆感到不滿意。這是昨天我們電影節的主題，而這些傢伙花了很多今晚以保護我們的籃筐為榮。20個街區，這很特別。這些傢伙做得很好。”
底特律的油漆區被限制為32分，比周五晚上對陣新奧爾良的情況明顯改善。
活塞前鋒克里斯蒂安·伍德說：“他們現在在聯盟中排名第一。” “他們今天證明了這一點，並且在這方面做得很好。”
戴維斯（Davis）和麥吉（McGee）成為第三雙隊友，在NBA歷史上，每場至少有六次蓋帽。最後一對是2005年1月29日為達拉斯小牛隊的德克·諾維茨基和埃裡克·丹皮爾。
戴維斯說：“我之所以喜歡它，是因為它使我們的球隊停下來，並允許我們在過渡中獲得另一回合，因此，只要我能夠蓋帽，我認為這會提升我們的球隊。” “不僅是我，還有任何人。我認為當我們的一名隊友做一些特別的事情時，我們的板凳會被炒作。然後我們就玩得很開心，因此德懷特做了個手指搖晃。”
嗯，手指搖著。霍華德消除了活塞6英尺11英尺，重280磅的中鋒安德烈·德拉蒙德（Andre Drummond）的直截了當的嘗試，模仿了嘲笑的慶祝活動，即有史以來排名第二的迪肯貝·穆託姆博（Dikembe Mutombo）著名。
霍華德說：“我只是在此刻，試圖讓群眾流連忘返。” “這只是意志，想要更多。安德烈是一個很難阻止油漆的硬漢。他的步伐真的很快。”
沃格爾希望霍華德的手指搖動也能更快一些。
沃格爾說：“我不介意。我只是認為他在裡面呆了一兩秒鐘太久了。我們正在休息。” “但是我不介意。”
戴維斯並沒有因為慶祝的時間長而拒絕霍華德的觀點，而是因為缺乏創造力。
戴維斯說：“他是一個出色的蓋帽手。” “我告訴他，他必須更加原始一些；他必須想出自己的東西。”
自從2001年11月7日多倫多猛龍隊20次蓋帽以來，這20個蓋帽是所有球隊中最多的。這是湖人隊歷史上第二高的蓋帽，比1982年4月9日的21支球隊的紀錄低了一點，對陣丹佛掘金隊。
麥吉似乎在賽後推文中暗示，聯盟對他的表現特別感興趣，並進行了藥物測試。
20分鐘內有6個街區，比賽結束後我進行了藥物測試...瘋狂

湖人隊曾被沃格爾（Vogel）挑戰，要在這場主場比賽中“統治”和“殺死”對手，該比賽已經以鳳凰城，新奧爾良和底特律為特色，並將繼續與紐約尼克斯隊，克利夫蘭騎士隊和奧蘭多魔術隊一起比賽。接下來的兩個星期。對於他們來說，集體聚會體現了他們教練的敦促。
麥吉說：“我覺得對其他球隊來說，這是一種卑鄙的感覺，你知道我在說什麼嗎？這耗盡了他們的全部精力。” “就像，'該死，我們不能上籃筐。讓我們開始拍攝有爭議的3s。” ...所以絕對很棒。”
“偉大”是描述湖人，五連勝的獲勝者和29-7的西部聯盟最佳戰績的擁有者的一種恰當方式。
麥吉說：“我們是一支頑強的團隊。” “我們灌籃所有。我們不讓事情陷入困境。我們蓋帽。我們就是這樣做的。”
LOS ANGELES -- It had been almost 20 years since an NBA team blocked 20 shots in a game until the Los Angeles Lakers swatted everything in sight in their 106-99 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night at Staples Center.
L.A. came into the night leading the league with 7.1 blocks per game, and Anthony Davis eclipsed that mark all by himself, registering a season-high eight rejections. JaVale McGee (six blocks) and Dwight Howard (five) also put up season highs in the category.
"I mean, I think it's just an unbelievable feat. A remarkable feat. Dwight, JaVale and AD, they just make it easy on us," LeBron James said. "To know that you have that safety net behind you ... it's a heck of a luxury."
It became a laborious night for the Pistons as the Lakers blocked 25.6% of their shot attempts (20 of 78), making it the highest percentage of blocked shots in a game since blocks became an official statistic in 1973-74, according to research by the Elias Sports Bureau.
"Obviously it was a huge factor in the game," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. "Our three big guys just played exceptional basketball. I think we as a group were not happy with giving up 68 points in the paint against the Pelicans. That was sort of the theme of our film session yesterday, and those guys took a lot of pride in protecting our rim tonight. Twenty blocks, that's pretty special. Those guys did a great job."
Detroit was limited to 32 points in the paint, a stark improvement from Friday night against New Orleans.
"They are No. 1 in the league right now blocking shots," Pistons forward Christian Wood said. "They showed that today, and they do a great job at it."
Davis and McGee became just the third pair of teammates with at least six blocked shots each in a game in NBA history. The last pair to do it were Dirk Nowitzki and Erick Dampier for the Dallas Mavericks on Jan. 29, 2005.
"I enjoy it because it gives our team a stop and allows us to get another possession in transition, so anytime I'm able to block a shot, I think it kind of uplifts our team," Davis said. "Not just me, but anyone. I think our bench gets hyped when one of our teammates do something special. And then we have fun with it, hence Dwight doing a finger wag."
Ah yes, the finger wag. Howard broke it out after erasing a point-blank attempt by the Pistons' 6-foot-11, 280-pound center Andre Drummond, mimicking the mocking celebration that Dikembe Mutombo, who is No. 2 on the all-time blocks list, made famous.
"I was just in the moment, trying to get the crowd going," Howard said. "It was just will, wanted it more. Andre's a tough guy to try and block in the paint. He's really quick off his feet."
Vogel wished Howard's finger wag were a little quicker, too.
"I don't mind it. I just think he stayed in it a second or two too long. We were running on a break," Vogel said. "But I don't mind that."
Davis didn't dock Howard points for the length of his celebration, rather for the lack of creativity.
"He's a great shot-blocker," Davis said. "I told him, he has to be a little more original; he has to come up with his own thing."
The 20 blocks were the most by any team since the Toronto Raptors blocked 20 shots on Nov. 7, 2001. And it was the second most in history by the Lakers, falling one short of the franchise record of 21 on April 9, 1982, against the Denver Nuggets.
McGee seemed to suggest in a postgame tweet that the league took special interest in his performance with a drug test.
6 blocks in 20 mins and i get a drugtest after the game... CRAZY

The Lakers have been challenged by Vogel to "dominate" and "kill" their opponents during this homestand, which has already featured the likes of Phoenix, New Orleans and Detroit and will continue with the New York Knicks, Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic in the next two weeks. For them, the block party personified their coach's urging.
"I feel like for the other team, it's a low esteem [feeling], you know what I'm saying? It depletes their whole energy," McGee said. "It's just like, 'Damn, we can't go to the rim. Let's start shooting contested 3s instead.' ... So it's definitely great."
"Great" is an apt way to describe the Lakers, winners of five straight and owners of the best record in the Western Conference at 29-7.
"We're a hard-nosed team," McGee said. "We dunk everything. We don't let things come to the rim. We block shots. That's what we do."
