Beijing time, March 17, today, the Lakers suffered a blow on the road, was squashed by the Timberwolves 124-104, so that the Lakers ate three consecutive losses, and in these three games, the Lakers lost a lot of points, lost 29 points against the Suns, lost 11 points against the Raptors, and lost 20 points today. It turns out that the Lakers, who lost their thick eyebrows, have been reduced to a mediocre team, and they have gone from a pre-season championship favorite to a team that may not even be able to enter the playoffs.
The Lakers were crushed by the opponent in both offense and defense, with 13 fewer rebounds than the opponent, and the shooting percentage was 18 percentage points lower than the opponent, and what was even more shocking was that the Lakers had never led the game. The Lakers' crotch defense not only made Downs feel good on the inside, but also let the unknown Beverley play a good performance, this game Beverley 9 6, contributed 18 points and picked up 6 rebounds, plus-minus +4, better than James and Westbrook.
In the game, Beverley played happily, facing the two old enemies James and Westbrook, Beverley was overwhelmed and teased the two successively. Beverly deliberately yelled at James in the game, and also walked over to pat his ass, of course, James is not as familiar as him, not only that, in the face of Westbrook's attack, Beverley is three meters away, but also angrily scolded the opponent as garbage, vulnerable. As we all know, Beverley is a player known for his defense, in fact, after entering the league for so many years, his offense has been not bad, but today, he has made a splash in front of two "sworn enemies".
After the game, Beverley also said that James and Westbrook were the root cause of the Lakers' loss, mocking the Lakers for being better than any team. Westbrook is a straight-talking player, and in the face of Beverley's provocation, he is not willing to show weakness and decisively fight back. Responding to Beverley's remarks in a press conference after the game, Westbrook said: "The people on their team have achieved nothing in this league. Although it was only a short 17 words, it made Beverley powerless to fight back, because it was true that although Towns had recently cut 60+17, he and Beverley and others really did not achieve anything decent.
On the contrary, Westbrook and James are players who have been selected as All-Stars many times, Westbrook is the historical triple-double king, and James's honors are countless, both of whom are future Hall of Famers. Wei Shao faced Beverly's provocation, calm and calm, fast and quick, this is the real thought in his heart, he did not care about Downs's thoughts, dare to love and hate, which is also one of the reasons why he is loved. Wei Shao lost the ball is not lost, if it were not for Beverley to injure Wei Shao, maybe the current Wei Shao can play more explosive data, Beverley not only did not feel guilty for the original action, but also mocked Wei Shao, not measuring his own strength.
