Since the playoffs, which player do you think is the biggest winner? The Nets have given Jason Tatum a higher accolades, Jordan Poole started no less than Stephen Curry, and Jaylen Bronson's offensive firepower made the Jazz in the mud breathless... And of course don't forget another name — Patrick Beverley.
It's a boring name that's far less ingrained than the "trash dog" moniker.
The Timberwolves, who made a trade last season to Beverley, a player who had vowed to follow the Clippers to win a championship, began a new journey in his career. I don't know whether it was fate's ridicule of him or his favor, this season he met the old home Clippers in the playoff playoffs, and it was the Timberwolves who won the promotion opportunity - Beverley was quick to take revenge in that game.
Beverley is only a "small man" in the league, and his lack of talent makes it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league, but he not only played in this highly competitive league for a long time, but also had a certain influence. Compared to the star-level players, Beverley is undoubtedly the "villain" in this league, but so what?
In this series against the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves are the under-optimistic side, and the gap in the regular season record can be seen to some extent. But the Timberwolves are always causing trouble for their opponents, and even if they suffer a game that is reversed by a big score, the Timberwolves still feel the passion and stubbornness.
All this happened directly related to Beverley.
The Timberwolves and the Grizzlies game, because the two teams are mostly young players, the fight seems inevitable, and the veteran Beverley is the "atmosphere group expert" in this regard. In Beverley's philosophy of survival, fighting fiercely is commonplace, Beverley has always been in the league, and fighting to annoy opponents is also the way this guy plays.
During the game against the Grizzlies, Beverley and Ja Morant fell in love, and the two men gestured to each other to provoke each other. However, Beverley's performance in this game is more than that, he almost turned over in the first half of the show - smashing the ball into the rebound, shooting, receiving a teammate's pass, and so on, the more excited he became.
The operation is as fierce as a tiger, directly to the top of the national hot search list.
Beverly's performance has caused a huge heated discussion, and LeBron James, who missed the playoffs, has also joined in the fun, and he wrote "Pit Bulldog Show" on social media, which naturally means a little appreciation for Beverley. However, some media have made a joke, and some reporters have forwarded and ridiculed James, praising Wei Shao's nemesis, so that Wei Shao's feelings are unbearable.
Beverley and Wei Shao are indeed sworn enemies, the long-cherished wish between the two people has a long history, and this season Beverley also resents Wei Shao for ruining his career. When these two players play together on the field, neither of them will make the other play comfortably, let alone trash talk.
However, Beverley did not "let go" of LeBron James, who would provoke the league superstar on and off the court, and even sometimes his teammates felt that Beverley was inappropriate. Beverley is a very annoying player, he has a very good mentality of playing opponents, but sometimes it can be counterproductive - against the Grizzlies, the opponents Grizzlies completed a reversal with a big score.
