Live broadcast, February 24 News warrior defender Poole was interviewed by NBA official website during the All-Star period.
Cole once said: “When Poole focuses on the game, his defense will be very good, but sometimes he will not be focused enough.” To this Poole said: “I am continuing to learn and grow, which is an interesting challenge. I try my best to raise questions so that everyone can succeed and grow. I readily accept the challenge, not only to defend the best player of the opponent, but also to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the offensive side. I tried to increase my endurance and load, all of which had to be tested repeatedly, and many people forgot this. We cannot be people without opinions. We need to find ways to shield the voice of the outside world, stay focused and grow. There will always be ways to make yourself better, and I will continue to work hard.”
When asked how to do what he said, Poole replied, “it is training, curiosity and motivation. I want to learn more, and I also love this sport. You must love the competition and be willing to invest time. If you don’t like it, it will become stressful. But for me, it is not a problem to shoot on the court, play one-on-one or watch the game on the court.”
So far this season, Poole has played 58 games, averaging 30.7 minutes, scoring 20.9 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists, field goal percentage, 44%, 33.5% in three points and 86% in free throws.
