On March 20, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. The Timberwolves are at home against the Bucks. The Timberwolves' star alphabet brother missed the game because of a sore knee in this game.
Alphabet Brother can average 29.8 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.4 blocks per game this season. He shot 54.7 percent from the field and 30 percent from three-point range. Such a core player is absent, and the Timberwolves have been in hot form recently, and the Bucks look fierce in this game.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams had a fiery clash. When downs, the timberwolves' core, performed the free throws, Bucks player Ibaka and Timberwolves player Prince were carded under the basket. Due to the relatively high level of physical contact between the two, the two had a dispute in the bottom corner of the right side, and the referee also intervened at the first time! It stands to reason that the situation should soon be brought under control.
However, the Timberwolves have Beverley's temper! He was originally standing outside the 3-point line, saw his teammates and Ibaka arguing, and rushed to Ibaka as soon as possible, directly launched a sneak attack, and angrily pushed Ibaka. Bucks player Hill seems to know Beverley very well, and as Beverley runs towards Ibaka, he realizes that Beverley wants to do something and runs directly to Beverley, trying to stop Beverley. After Beverly sneaked up on Ibaka, Hill fought back directly, pushing Beverly away.
Players from both sides quickly converged, and the conflict tended to widen. Fortunately, the rapid intervention of the 3 referees did not trigger a large-scale conflict. In the end, the referee expelled Beverly and Hill from the game, and Ibaka suffered a technical foul. Do you think the referee's decision is fair?
Beverley is such a player, how much the opponent hates him, how much his teammates love him! The Timberwolves also need players like Beverley to bring a little spirit to the team. The Timberwolves have not brought the Timberwolves out for so many years, so many superstars. Although Beverley is a role player, after coming to the Timberwolves, the changes brought to the Timberwolves are visible to the naked eye. The Timberwolves don't lack talent, they lack this iron-blooded fighting spirit.
The Timberwolves eventually went on a 138-119 spree against the Bucks. Towns had 25 points, 11 rebounds and five assists on 6-of-12 shooting. Edwards shot 9-of-16 and had 25 points, five rebounds and four assists. Russell shot 6-of-12 and had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists. The Timberwolves' highest scorer was Middleton, who had 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists on 6-of-13 shooting.
