In difficulty on defense, the Bucks recruited Pat Beverley, one of the biggest barkers in the NBA, but also a former enemy of Damian Lillard.
For 10 years, on the pitch or in the press, Patrick Beverley et Damian Lillard bicker and argue. Since Thursday, the two “best enemies” have been reunited since the Bucks went to get Beverley from the Sixers, in exchange for Cameron Payne.
Poor defender, Lillard will finally have someone to have his back. “Pat brings a defensive aggressiveness out wide that we needed. There aren’t many players who perform as well as him every night. I look forward to working with him. Our past personal issues do not outweigh the opportunity to win a title. »
The Rivers-Beverley duo recomposed
An attitude shared by Beverley who also wants to win a title, and he is ready to do it alongside Lillard. “I need to reestablish my relationship with Lady. It’s time to win a title! » he says. For this, he will be able to count on a trainer who knows him by heart: Doc Rivers. They were together at the Clippers, and here they are in Milwaukee.
“I know how Doc works. I know his message, more clearly than anyone. He simply wants to win. He wants to win. I’ve been in the trenches with Doc, and he’ll let me do what I want.” For the new Bucks coach, Beverley is “Someone who talks on defense is someone physical, and he causes a lot of forceful passes.”
