Live broadcast, May 13-The Lakers beat the Warriors 122-101 at home today, with a score of 4-2 to advance to the Western finals. After the game, the Lakers general manager Pelinka was interviewed by the media.
Q:2 wins and 10 losses start the season, and now they have reached the Western finals. How does this sound?
A: This is great. Warriors are an excellent team and the defending champion. I want to pay tribute to them for this wonderful series of matches and players’ performance. I think the test at the beginning of the season gave our team the opportunity to polish our will and unite us to some extent. Of course, we have introduced new players, and they also feel the unity and competitive heart of the team.
Q: A large part of the credit for introducing 6 new players is yours. Did you expect that they would integrate so well?
A: I think it is important that sometimes you try to make an operation. If it doesn’t work, then you can correct it. We have also been evaluating the effect. We think we need to do some operations, especially flank, projection and organization, as the trade deadline approaches. Generally speaking, you can complete one of the adjustments at the trade deadline, and we have completed each adjustment. I think the current performance of this team is the best proof. We are very grateful to everyone who helps implement these operations.
