The timberwolves and Clippers' playoffs are among the best games of the season. Although the strength of both teams is in the middle of the league, it is difficult to break through the first round regardless of who advances, but in the context of a decisive victory, any team can burst out with amazing energy.
Throughout the game, the Timberwolves' Towns played like a marshmallow, soft and non-existent. With 2 points and 4 fouls in the half, he was sent off at the beginning of the last quarter and played extremely depressed, which was related to the targeted arrangement of Tyrone Lu.
Towns' favorite counterpoint is the big man who plays slower than him, with easy break-through and projection. Tyrone Lu was going to defend Towns from the front, and Downs, who couldn't play back, lost his height advantage in front of the front. Your pace is not as fast as your opponent's, and you can't fight physically, and the basket is not accurate.
Such Timberwolves survived the first quarter almost by Hanako and a group of substitutes. Russell, who had a poor hand before the second quarter, finally found a crosshair, scoring 14 points in a single quarter, and the Timberwolves were still struggling with the Clippers.
The small lineup has always been the killer of the Clippers, and last season, relying on the ability of the small lineup to fight, the Clippers eliminated the Jazz into the Western Conference Finals. However, yesterday the Clippers were cured by the Timberwolves' small lineup, and if you want to ask why, you can only say that the Timberwolves are more bloody than the Clippers yesterday.
On 10-of-21 shooting, Hanako, on 5-of-11 three-pointers, showed the bloodiness of the offensive end. In the opening, the rest of the Timberwolves are like a chicken surrounded by tension, and the shooting action is constantly making mistakes on the defensive end, and this time it is the second-year Hanako who stands up.
With a three-point shot, Hanako pulled the rest of the Timberwolves back into the game. What is nervousness? It was as if this emotion had never existed in Hanako's body, which is what we call the big-scene player.
The game scored 30 points, although not as good as George, who scored 34 points and shot 6 three-pointers. But don't forget that this is Hanako's first playoff, and now he's about to have his first playoff, with Morant standing across from him, and the duel in the top of the list is boiling with blood.
Another player who makes people's blood boil is Beverley, he is still so fond of biting opponents, he wants to show his fangs every defensive round to shock the opponent, and this opponent is his old club Clippers.
In the final moments, Beverly snatched Reggie face to face, and after seeing Edwards grab the ball and attack quickly, he stood in place and began to roar, he knew that the ball was won. In the final moments, Beverley grabbed the rebound in front of the court and threw the ball in the air to wait for the time to go.
At the end of the finale, he jumped on the technical stage and roared at the audience, venting his emotions. When the angry emotions were finished, he cried and wept as he left, both of which were real expressions that he had suppressed for too long.
In the 2019 offseason, Beverley signed a 3-year, $40 million deal with the Clippers, when the Kings offered Beverley a 3-year, $50 million offer, but Beverley only wanted to stay with the Clippers, so he gave up the $10 million.
And what did the Clippers bring to him? Two years later, the Clippers kicked Beverley to the Grizzlies, handling him as if they were dealing with a garbage contract, and soon he was traded by the Grizzlies to the Timberwolves.
Beverly is indeed a player with many flaws, his offensive level is always not high, and defense is his destiny. But his injuries were one after another, so the Clippers gave him up, without the slightest concern for the feelings that came with years of getting along.
After Beverley personally finished the Clippers yesterday, he said: "For me, this game means a lot, I gave my blood, sweat and tears for the Clippers, you know, and then it was denied
'He's easily injured, he's too old', this doesn't work, that's not right... There's no better feeling to be able to come here and beat them in a game like this, man. ”
Yesterday there were a lot of people who mocked Beverley's performance as if he had won the championship, so let them taunt. They wouldn't understand the pleasure of revenge that came with this hand-bladed old lord, and for someone like Beverley, there was nothing cooler than that.
I know that many people don't like Beverley, and Westbrook fans have added Beverley to the blacklist early, and as long as they see the name, they want to scold twice. Many people have said that as many people as they love you, as many people hate you. For Beverley, there are far more people who hate him than people who love you, but so what.
He's still doing what he did a decade ago, activating his teammates to tear his opponents apart, keeping his anger on every game, pouring blood into the team and winning.
