NBA routine is about to start, and all teams are conducting warm-up matches to cultivate team understanding and prepare for the new season. But all kinds of news are still going on. Just now, there were many news about Lakers , Warriors, and Celtics . Let’s take a look together now!
The atmosphere in the Lakers team is rising again? "Mad Dog Bei" held a meeting on the court, and was disdained by Westbrook
Yesterday, the Lakers played against Timberwolves at home. A scene that caused heated discussion among fans appeared in the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves at home. This summer, the "Mad Dog Bei" Beverly and "Westbrook" Westbrook recently continued to convey to the outside world that there was no rift between the two. Unexpectedly, when Beverly invited his teammates to hold a "on-court meeting" to review the defense, it was deliberately ignored by Westbrook.
Beverly has always been known for his bloody and lifeless defense. At the beginning of the third quarter of today's game, Beverly may have found that there was a problem with the players' defensive attitude or the defense was unclear, so he summoned his teammates to gather to discuss how to improve. The two major stars of Lakers, , James and , Davis , showed 100% cooperation. He approached Beverly and listened to his speech. Unexpectedly, Westbrook, who was far away, was reluctant to get close and deliberately ignored it. Seeing this, Davis walked over and tried to convince Westbrook to join, but he was still keeping a distance from Beverly and bent down with contempt and disdain.
Although Beverly said a lot of good things about Westbrook on the media day of the new season, and even named the other party as his best friend of the new boss, the Lakers, from the interaction between the two sides on the court in this game, it seems that things are not as simple as everyone thinks.
Westbrook refuted the video deliberately distorted. Beverly supported the "friend"
After the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 113-118 on the 13th, two videos of Lakers defending Westbrook being quite dissatisfied, causing the outside world to criticize him for being completely disagreeable with the Lakers, and also allowed Westbrook to go to the hotline on the 14th to clarify that the two videos were completely distorted. Even Beverly jumped out to help his "friend" cry out for justice.
In two videos that went viral on the Internet, the first video is that before the game, the Lakers players stood in a circle and prepared to shout, but Westbrook was hiding near the bench and running alone; the second video is that the two teams played until the third quarter, and Beverly gathered his teammates on the court to prepare for a speech, but Westbrook ignored Beverly's summoning and walked away, and was unwilling to walk back.
"I was talking to the coach at the time, so I didn't notice the situation on the court. The media deliberately cut the video in half," Westbrook said. "As for running before the game, I have been doing that for many years. They just deliberately cut it in that way. The Internet hopes that this kind of thing will appear. In fact, since I entered the league, I was in this kind of ceremony before the game."
Beverly couldn't help but publicly shout for justice for Westbrook, "I didn't realize what's wrong with this video, everything was fine. When we were on the plane, Westbrook sat next to me, we went to the away game together, and went out shopping together." It seems that the relationship between the two is not as incompatible as the outside world imagines, but it remains to be seen after the new season starts.

"
" Poole is a professional player, so is me," Drummond Green said. "We still have work to do, and we plan to do our job well. I am not sure what my relationship with Poole will be like in the future.

The Warriors have decided that Drummond Green has now In the last warm-up match tomorrow, he will not miss the opening game of the new season on the 19th.

He will return in the last warm-up game with Klay Thompson.

Durant once won two championships for the Warriors, and he also believes that his old club can solve all problems smoothly. "The best thing about the Warriors is to unite.

Celtics "Guo God" is absent from the empty city! Garnett sighs: Indispensable, revealing 2 suggests strengthening the Eastern Conference
Although facing the strong lineup, the Warriors finally returned, the Greens tweet cannot be denied The fact that he has grown into a powerful Eastern Conference, but the 2022-23 season has not yet started. Not only many people have high-ranking battle cards, but even the "change of players in the last round" operation has also worried fans. Garnett, a member of the Hall of Fame and a hero of winning the 2008 championship, also pointed out the most important issue for the Celtics at the moment. The origin of the
incident can be traced back to the championship game in the 2021-22 season, and he will not hesitate to play with injuries for the team. Williams, the "God of the Pot", underwent left knee arthroscopy surgery in the off-season and was confirmed to have high placards at the beginning of the season. In response, Garnett admitted that considering Williams' strong defensive ability, his absence will undoubtedly have a huge impact on the team.
Not only that, Garnett also believes that judging from the current situation, the start of the new season is obviously not very popular with the Celtics, including Bucks , 76ers, Nets and even the newly formed Cavaliers will be in front of the Celtics, reminding the team to face up to this situation, and also give their own suggestions, believing that although it is not as high as before, "Warcraft" Howard and "Cousin" Cousins will be one of the candidates for strengthening.
Garnett, who was called "Wolf King" by fans, was hurried in the fifth pick in the first round in 1995. tml1 Minnesota Timberwolves selected. After dedicating to the team for many years, he moved to the Boston Celtics in the 2007-08 season and won the championship and the Best Defensive Player Award in the same year. His career was selected into the All-Star and 12 degrees. The all-round reach of the offense and defense is a nightmare for the entire league. After officially retiring in 2016, he was selected into the Hall of Fame in 2020.
