On Friday night, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated both teams in the L.A. Before the Clippers were included, Montreal Harrell, who ruled the Sixth Man of the Year, went and talked to his two teammates, Lou Williams and Patrick Beverly, exchanging glances with both teammates. The reserve is that he had personal success in the last three seasons.
The rest of the players and staff who have spent the most important part of his NBA career so far? Well, he went and talked to them after the game, but didn’t take extra steps from the staples center’s h-down, went to his new place in the Lakers ‘locker room, went to the Clippers’ locker room, which he called home last year. . Herrell admitted after the game that he still has “a lot of feelings” about the team that he feels he doesn’t want back.
“But nothing significant,” he assured.
Although it was just a predecessor game, he is trying to stay focused on his new job, with his new team.
“I came here today with the mentality that I have work to do tonight. I’m here with my team, the Los Angeles Lakers. Harel said. “It didn’t come out, ‘Hey, how are you guys doing?’ He smiled. No. I had a job, and that’s the mentality I’m here to do. “
Harrell did just that, shooting 5-13 off the field while the Lakers won 87-81 with 19 points and 9 rebounds. His tireless intensity popped the screen in a game in which plenty of players who either don’t play regular minutes for the team, clearly try to get their feet in addition to the P te soldiers. But Haral’s is not the middle setting. When he is on the court, he has all the power, all the time.
Beverly – was trying to harden Harrell’s job among others. Both the Lakers and Clippers were talking enough trash with the players on the court to keep the bench focused on the broadcast, but the moment that most B stayed was Beverly, who showed a complete lack of coolness by celebrating the missed prison jumper. Harrell had a late shot in a competitive game such as the Portland Trail Blazers.
But Harrell didn’t give up – or the poet Leonard did – upset him. He immediately fired at the clippers, during a missed transition jumper from Terrence M, which was taken in a memorable way, screaming “Hell no, f — no”, especially through the hot rim microphone.
Again, this was A bias Game.
But it’s not just Harley’s talent for Laser-Sharp Focus that has allowed him to continue to be Beverly’s app. He has been a teammate with Beverly for years now, so in addition to seeing how he always stays on the sidelines, he plays in numerous pick-up games and practice against him, and so it is a fire habit of his former teammates.
“It simply came to our notice then. It’s the same belly that used to do when I would shoot and be on the other team (in Scrimmages) with loo and missed jump shots, or miss the layout or something like that, man. Man, that’s not faze to me. This is a basketball, “said Harrell. “If we weren’t in the epidemic and it was a Clippers home game, the fans would scream at me, and it would be no different, man.
“I don’t care what he’s doing on his stomach. Harrell went on to say, “He’s doing something on the side … It’s not something different to me that I knew Pete brought to the table, but it doesn’t make me dizzy.” “I’m a basketball player, like these people.”
Harrell and Beverly Made it clear on Twitter that they are cool after the game, But that doesn’t mean Harrell still has a little love for clippers. Mostly, in the final question Harrell asked after the game, he was asked softb about the development of the Clippers’ second year players. Rather than what most players do in that situation – write a few clicks and keep pushing it forward – Harrell wanted some time to draw a line between himself and that team playing for clarity.
“There is no disrespect, but it is not up to me to discuss it. That’s not really my opinion, “said Harrell. “I have nothing to do with how they came up with their growth … not to be disrespected, but honestly I don’t really care. I’m no longer on the team with those people, and it’s not the locker room in which I walk. So how those people are coming into their growth or how they are taking the next steps in their careers really has nothing to do with me.
“I greet those people,” Harrell continued. “(But) our team has young people who are still growing. (Devonta) Kecock, Tallinn (Horton-Tucker) is a young man, Costas (Antetok oun Nampo) is a young man. So we have young people in our team that we have to grow too. So like I said, it’s not up to me what they do in their locker room. Where I am and focus on my team. “
He was talking about the young people there, but if you read that second part without knowing the question asked, he could talk about the clippers perfectly easily. But while Harrell may say he wants to move on, to focus on his new team, it may not always be possible. If the preseason game was already this chippy, a little more of the regular season tu matchups already typically charged between these two parties would also make him think a little about the clippers. And if this meaningless performance is any indication, Harrell’s edge in those matchups could prove to be a boon for his new teammates as they faced him against an organization he has not lost a clear love for.
