Split: I see interim coaching as an opportunity to show what I can do

6686 Sports October 25th NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers will face the Warriors at home today. Before the game, the Trail Blazers interim coach Split accepted an interview with reporters.

The reporter asked: "What was your first reaction when you learned that you were going to serve as the interim coach?"

Split said: "Honestly, it was quite difficult at that moment. But I have to do a good job, and I have done it before. I have experienced similar situations, but the level and stage are different. At the same time, I also regard it as an opportunity to show my ability and lead the team forward. This is also a positive side."

The reporter asked: "From the first game as an assistant coach to the 1st. What does it feel like to be the coach after 2 hours?" Split said: "Yes, I didn't expect it at all. But I have to be ready. I have done similar things before in the European League, but the responsibility is bigger. We will continue to move forward and continue to do a good job."

The reporter asked: "What message are you going to send to the team tonight?"

Split said: "We must continue to focus on our own basketball. Playing with the rhythm, increasing the defensive aggression, controlling the rebounds. This is who we are as a team, and I will not change it. I am also a part of this team building process, and we have been preparing for this for two months or more, so I will continue to do my job."

The reporter asked: "There are many young players in your team. They have never experienced this level of situations. How do you keep them focused?"

Split said: "Continuously emphasize our game plan to keep them focused. On the playing field, not outside things. Back to basketball itself."

The reporter asked: "When will you start to truly add your own coaching imprint without destroying the team's original system?"

Spurs. Leete said: "Actually, when I joined the team two months ago, we built the team's rhythm and play style together. I have been involved in many things, including rhythm, guarding and rotation. We have a great coaching staff, so nothing will be changed suddenly, everything is done collectively."
