Beverly's life has been a belief in struggle, fighting against all-star opponents and struggling with a bumpy fate.
Bad childhood
Beverly was born in a violent Chicago suburb in a poor, busy, single-parent family. He was once brave and fiercely rejected his studies, and he didn't like anything but basketball. However, in high school, Beverley showed a certain talent for basketball, and he represented Marshall High School in the Chicago High School League, averaging 26 points per game. Because his studies were too poor, no basketball school was willing to provide him with scholarships, so he had to choose the University of Arkansas.
Freshman and sophomore Beverley gradually revealed his bloody nature, and his data rose while being selected to the First Team of the Best Rookie in the United States, becoming a candidate for the NCAA Woodden Award and the Naismith Award. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and his mentor was fired from the university, which made him lose his love of basketball. In his junior year, Beverley was expelled from school for plagiarizing papers, which meant that he could not run for the NBA as a college graduate, and the basketball prospects would be bleak. The same year's Chicago rising star Derrick Rose was selected by the Bulls with the first pick and started a brilliant life.
Young to taste the wandering life
Forced to do so, Beverly packed his bags and left home, and with the help of friends, he went to the European team Dniprodinip, whose coach was former Chinese national team coach Deng Huade. European basketball advocates hand-to-hand combat, where Beverly learned how to use defense to make opponents miserable, transforming his former bad habits and resentment into a lifeless defense, and establishing the "first generation of garbage dogs" in Europe. Some European fans even threw tear gas into the field during Beverly's game and shined laser pointers in his eyes, but he got his wish and was selected by the Lakers with 42nd pick in 2009, which strengthened his determination to start with defense.
But when he went to the bustling city of Los Angeles, he was told that he was traded to the Miami Heat in the era of the Big Three, and Miami chose not to sign with the second-round show. The dream was in vain, and Beverly could only return home and play for the Greek team Olympiacos. The Heat's "prank" was not over, and in 2010 they recalled Beverley again, but only gave him the news of the termination of the contract, and he once again packed his bags and flew to St. Petersburg, Russia. Beverley once hated the Heat Big Three for a long time, and that's why.
A turnaround in a lifetime
In 2012, Beverley was elected Club Cup MVP, and in 2013 Rockets general manager Morey threw him an olive branch and offered him a three-year basic salary contract. Beverly didn't even think about it, paid the contract penalty with the European team, and flew to Houston with ambition, this time the Rockets did not live up to the black bay.
In 2012, Jeremy Lin joined the Rockets and formed a "Harlem" combination with Harden. However, Jeremy Lin's injury gave Beverly a chance to perform. His near-life-fighting defense, wolf-dog-like death entanglement, contrasted sharply with the habitual eye defense of "Young Deng". Of course, he also made mistakes, thanks to him, thunder star Westbrook knee injury season reimbursement, fortunately after Westbrook returned from injury more courageous, otherwise he would be a player with Pachulia. Later, Jeremy Lin was traded, and Beverley justifiably became the starting point guard, and his advantage on the defensive end just compensated for Harden's disadvantage.
In 2014, Beverley was named to the All-Defensive Second Team. In 2015, the Rockets offered Beverley a 4-year, 25 million contract, beverley once again immediately signed a contract, in fact, there are a number of teams to match the pit bull, in order to rob people they offered a very generous offer.
"When the Rockets handed me a contract, I didn't think much about it and signed it immediately because I was afraid that other teams would offer the Rockets couldn't match. Houston was the only place that gave me a chance to play. As long as I belong here, I will do my best for the rocket. ”
In 2017, Beverley was named to the league's defensive team as he wished. When Beverley was still adrift and working, he always liked to hang a big blackboard at home, but wrote on it the goals of a season. The ideals that at first seemed out of reach at the end have now become a reality. Today, he drives a Rolls-Royce and lives a luxurious life that he could not have imagined.
Americans celebrate heroism, and so does American basketball. One person, one city, single core championships, etc., the glorious epic of great stars will always be remembered by fans and enjoyed by them. Few people regard players like Beverley as an idol of life, because he is too ordinary, does not have his own unique skills, does not have his own signature moves, and has not even participated in the All-Star Game. But in fact, Beverly is the star closest to us, after all, not everyone is born to be king.
Isn't it the extraordinary life of ordinary people who are crawling and playing, having fun in pain, and gradually finding their own way of standing?
