How can Young please benefit from your experience in your game?

Without what?

How can young players benefit from your game?

Um, I've been a benefit.

I'm not sure.

I mean, it just depends on they.

Like my style of play or not, but no, this is all too hard work.

Really?

That's what I pride myself.

Phone.

Not trying to be as prepared as I can to no do well in these games.

Home?

Yes, but all I can say, Kimba, um, Jared Allen was out there changing a lot of the rim defensively, But you had success kind of going at him and attacking him.

What was it about?

The way you attacked him that got you that success notice first on my team did a great job setting screens, getting there.

God's off me, allowing me to get down here.

And it was just really all about the angles for me.

No trying to cut him off so I could get a good angle at the rim.

No.

Try toe.

No.

You slow steps and no game to his body and things like that.

I mean, he's unbelievable.

Shot blocker and no, just overall rim protector.

So don't try to do some things that get him off pounds a little bit.

Uh, how quickly Rabel seem.

I didn't take long, but was there any part of you that was reluctant at all at the beginning, after your injury and how unclear?

Able to forget about it And the actor to play a nice game, honestly.

But yeah.

I mean, I'm one of Coram one of court.

That's that's really it.

I was not there.

Think about anything.

You know, I wanted to I want to win, not want to be aggressive.

Play with intensity.

Um, yeah.

And, uh, when there's all those Kyrie chance obviously you've known him for a while.

What kind of how do you react when that's going on in the middle of a game?

And then I guess when the m v P chants are coming for you later on, I mean, I don't really pay thing to the car re stuff.

I mean, that's just the fans and know how they feel.

That's not something that I'm really playing paying close attention to.

Of course not M v p chants are Those are great.

No, It's always a great feeling to have no support from from your fan base, and you almost definitely appreciate his family's Kim.

When you've got another team that's just firing and making 3.5 to 3 point or what's going through your head as a competitive when you really couldn't do anything to slow that down, I just, you know, trying to stop.

That's that's really all.

We kept him each other in the huddle.

A lot of it was a lot of mental mistakes.

Miscommunications what you know, we clean it up a little bit and down the stretch was able to get over the hump a little bit and come out with a big win.

That's that's a great team over there.

Those guys place show me hard on on any given night, and they can play with anybody on any given night.

So, um, now they're really going for us.

What was it that did get you over the hump?

Oh, I thought we got stops when we needed to.

Yeah, that's really what the word way got stops down the stretch, which was no, really big, you know, especially because those guys, they they just didn't quit.

They may play after play offensively, math, the offensive rebound.

They play hard.

But you know, we never let it, you know, bring us down.

We just kept playing the game, kept playing the game and and see what things were.

Now way.

Kima.

When, um, half time rolled around, I was talking about a couple of teammates and he said at the half you talked about guys.

We got to step it up at the defensive end of the floor.

When you came here to Boston, you knew that they played the defense having seen them.

But what have you seen?

That has allowed you guys to really not really miss a beat defensively, even though, obviously a lot of new faces including yourself a part of that defense wives, this group in able to still defend at a relatively high level, We just cause we work at it.

No, from Day one training camp.

That's something that we we understood, you know, that we had to be really good on that end, you know, for us to win games, you know, can't really control scorn all every night.

But defensively, you can definitely control that you can get.

Show your effort.

You can't control your pride.

And that's something that we understand way.

Still have some lapses throughout the game.

But at the end of the day, you know, we way worked really hard on that end.

You know, of course.

Smart.

Who was our anchor?

Who's out lead on there.

And, um, no, he just He really gives us the energy and no kind of inspires us to be ground and and just I was just gonna ask you about Marcus.

Smart, obviously having competed against him, you know what he brings from a defensive standpoint, But it seems this year, more than any other, he's shown the ability to impact the game at both ends of the floor.

Speak toe what you're seeing from like the time you two first became teammates back in training camp, to where he's at now, from an offensive standpoint, offensive, easy, been good There.

He's really confident.

We know he's arm taking great shots and making them making big shots.

He just not scared of the moment.

Home, not think his defense definitely gets overshadowed, has often gets overshadowed by his defense.

Yeah, now we we trust him with the basketball.

We trust him to make the right place, and he does.

You know, he's only going to continue to get better on that.

Better he can be, Oh, any old every night.

He's just gonna make it easy for out of us.

So, yeah, we need to keep being aggressive offensively.

Keep on making shots, and it is definitely to help us get better.

What's it like on the bench watching Marcus Market M v P chants for knocking the stuck ball loose with the broom?

It's great, It's great.

He does everything.

And that's just a just a perfect example off who he is.

No, to this team, to this organization and to this city, this is definitely well deserved.

He's he does everything for us, and that's a perfect example.
