Pierce: Brown wants to take the ball after Tatum is injured. This will be beneficial to his growth in the long run
Recently, Celtic legend Pierce was interviewed by Heavy Sports and talked about Jay Brown.
He said: "I have always regarded Jaylen as an important voice player on the team. From my observation, in the training and locker room, Jaylen loves to express more than Jason in terms of personality."
"Your best player doesn't have to be the team leader. Our championship team (2008) is special because there are so many people in the team who can stand up and speak out. James Percy, Eddie House... that team has about 10 leaders. It's not always led by me or Garnett, you know what I mean, do you? But you can It's obvious from the character of the players that Jaylen is a talker in the media and on the court. So in this regard, he's nothing different. "
" For him, the key is that he's going to do better on the court. This is the case, when you get more opportunities, you have to take more responsibilities. So he gets more freedom. It's not that he didn't have enough freedom before, but now he's the core focus, and with it more responsibilities. You know, he has to think, 'How do I get other teams Friends are more involved? In what aspects do I need to adjust my game slightly? '"
"For example, I had to adjust my play style at that time (with Garnett and Ray Allen joining). Although the situation is different now, it is actually the same for him. He can't hold the mentality of "because Tatum scores less, I have to stand up and get more points." No, he has to be more responsible. He has to make his teammates better. He has to understand the game comprehensively. In the long run, this It will make him a better player. "
"I think he will have the opportunity to show more omnipotence. Because, you know, he also holds the ball, but the responsibilities he assumes are different from Tatum. Tatum had more opportunities to possess the ball and attack before, and now this responsibility falls on Jaylen. How much progress can he make when making decisions in pick-and-roll tactics? In the past, he didn't take as much responsibility as Jason. That's what I'll focus on. How will he perform this responsibility when he shoulders the heavy responsibility of offense."
