On January 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. In today's Western Conference Focus game, the Timberwolves challenged the Clippers on the road. The Timberwolves took the lead from the start of the game and eventually beat the Clippers 122:104 on the road!
The Timberwolves were able to win today, and Beverley was an absolute hero. Throughout the game, Beverly played 21 minutes, and although he scored 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting, he had 3 rebounds, as many as 12 assists, and two steals, with plus-minus of +19!
There is no doubt that being able to beat the old club means a lot to Beverley. He also spoke about it after the game, saying, "I feel like I was overlooked when I was with the Clippers, especially with George and Leonard on the team, who got almost all the praise. So when I come to other teams, you know, that's when I'm worth it. You know the value of the Timberwolves right now. So, I wasn't appreciated when I was with the Clippers, but the Timberwolves appreciated me. ”
Beverley then explained his 12 assists, saying, "I'll take on the passing mission at the Timberwolves. One of the reasons the Clippers are always looking for another guard is that they say I'm not the organizer. So I want to use this sentence to set the tone for today. Yes, that's it. ”
Interestingly, speaking about what it's like to beat the Clippers, Beverley said: "That's how I'm happy to lock up Reggie and Bledsoe. ”
Beginning in 2017, Beverley played for the Clippers for four seasons. He was traded to the Grizzlies by the Clippers last summer and subsequently joined the Timberwolves. So far this season, Beverley has averaged 26.7 minutes per game, averaging 8.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1 steal, shooting 41.8% from the field and 30.7% from three-point range!
