He clung to opponents like candy, and he scrambled for floorballs, causing headaches for the Clippers' two scorers, George and Reggie Jackson. The Timberwolves beat the Clippers 109-104 in a game where Beverley managed to steal the game. He jumped on the technical stage after the game, took off his jersey and threw it into the audience, roaring and crying with excitement, making the blood of the audience boil. Black Bay defended George and Reggie Jackson in the opposing position. Playoffs first round against the second-place Grizzlies in the West, Black Bay will take on the task of defending All-Star point guard Morant.
Let's take a look at the specific defensive data of Beverley's game, and his main defensive target is the Clippers starting point guard Reggie Jackson. Reggie is the Clippers' number two scorer this season. Reggie had 17 points and five assists, 7-of-18 shooting and five turnovers. Just look at this data so-so, and when Reggie defended against the black shell, it was actually abused by the black shell. Reggie was 0-of-5, no free throws, not a single point, and two turnovers.
One of those missteps was a key moment — with 22.7 seconds left in the game and a foul play left, the Clippers had to resort to foul tactics. It can be said that this steal directly killed the game.
Black Bay is the Timberwolves' number one outside defensive sharp knife, he can not only defend the point guard, but also defend the tall players, in the past he has defended the likes of James and Durant, and let them all suffer. In this game, Heibei took on part of the task of defending George. George scored 34 points, 10-of-24 from the field and 6-of-12 from three-point range, which is not bad. However, when George defended against Black Bay, he was also frustrated.
Under the defense of Black Bay, George shot 1 of 6 and 1 of 4 from three-point range, scoring only 3 points. This is how great Black Bey is, he can also limit opponents against players who are much taller than him. Heibei's defense is very aggressive, and whoever comes across it will be uncomfortable.
In this game, Beverly defended all the players he was in position to 3 of 14. By contrast, Towns was blown up by opponents who defended with an efficient attack of 8-of-12 shooting. BlackBey subdued his opponent, and after the game Reggie Jackson confessed: "Salute to him, he went to the Timberwolves and did what he wanted to accomplish, he really wanted to help the Timberwolves get back to the playoffs, and they did." George said: "When Beverly is in that mode, he will ignite the team and detonate the whole stadium. "The Clippers traded the Black Shells last summer, and now they're eating their own bullets.
The Timberwolves advanced to the playoffs as seventh in the West, and the first round opponent was the second-place Grizzlies in the West, and Black Bay will be challenged again, and he needs to defend Grizzlies point guard Morant. Black Bay has been selected to the Best Defensive First Team once and the Best Defensive Second Team twice. The 33-year-old is healthy today and still has top defensive standards. Whether the fierce defender like the Bulldog can limit Morant will have a big impact on this set of duels.
