On January 3, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Timberwolves played against the Lakers. In the third quarter of the game, Beverley frantically provoked the elder Jan after shooting a three-point shot at James.
In this battle, Russell was still unable to play in quarantine because of the triggering of health and safety protocols. Beverly started the battle, facing James and Westbrook, leaving his adrenaline pumping.
In the starting game, Beverley played 6 minutes and shot 2 of 4, got 4 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, and this first steal was given to Wei Shao, forcing Wei Shao to make a pass error, which made him quite excited.
After the first half, Beverly scored 6 points, 3 assists and 2 breaks, and his performance was remarkable. Not long after returning in the second half, Beverley faced James with a dry jumper for a three-point shot.
With 8 minutes and 18 seconds left in the third quarter, Beverley withdrew his jumper and James flew over to fill the defense. Facing James, Beverly shot with considerable confidence, hitting a steady three-point shot. After the shot, Beverly roared in celebration with a rather exaggerated expression, and he shouted at James.
Old Zhan chose to ignore it, turning his head not to look at him. However, Beverly ignored all this and continued his crazy celebration, provoking old Jen, and teammate Beasley smiled when he saw beverly so excited.
