Zhao Rui: We can’t use losing to help young players grow up. We still have strong fighting capacity.

Live Bar October 21st news CBA regular season, Guangdong 131-108 beat Shanghai. After the game, Zhao Rui was interviewed by Migu reporter Li Yubo.

When it came to the fact that the score had been pulled apart in the first half, Zhao Rui said: “I think it is a pity that I lost two games in front of me, both of which lost by 1 point. Everyone is a little sad in mood. But in today’s game, the coach mainly talked to us about defense. The coach told us that we are the best defensive team in the league, so it is an attitude to keep the focus on defense. Therefore, in the first quarter, we did a good job in suppressing the ball and defending the key people of the other side. But from the beginning of the second quarter, after the defensive strength came down, they let the other side throw a lot of relaxed three points, and then they kept chasing points. Then we made a callback in the second half, focusing on defense on the court, playing our counterattack, plus our handling ball, then we pulled the score apart again and finally won.”

When talking about whether the previous two games that were reluctant to lose would affect their mentality, Zhao Rui said: “In fact, it is a pity that I lost in those two games. As a player who played a little more in the team, I also said something in the dressing room. I think young players should play well in the most basic things arranged by the coach. Playing is defense, rebounding, running and moving back and forth, and then giving full play to all your energy, but if they can’t even do this well, they will be given so many opportunities to play, then there were so many points on them. Five people defended on the court, and two or three of them missed it, so we could never make up for it. So let them know how to play this ball. We can’t use losing to help them grow every time, which is very hurt for the growth of the team. Because losing will affect the ranking of the playoffs, I hope they will know what to do when they play as soon as possible. In this case, they did better than the previous two.”

When talking about the difficulties of the current team, Zhao Rui said: “I think the biggest difficulty is our own adaptation to the current competition intensity. We must defeat ourselves and overcome difficulties, I think our team will maintain stronger fighting capacity as before. Even if weimes is not here and brother Peng leaves the team, I think we can still maintain a strong fighting capacity to compete with the strong team.”

In this game, Zhao Rui contributed 12 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists in 10 shots.
