Live broadcast bar, April 26-today’s NBA playoffs first round G5, Clippers 130-136 lost to the Sun, the big score 1-4 was eliminated, Powell accepted the media interview after the game.
The reporter asked, “you have worked with Leonard in another team before. Seeing what he has experienced, how do you plan to continue to encourage him during the offseason?”
Powell said: “I don’t need to encourage him all the time. He is a diligent person and he will work hard to train and study the competition. I know he is depressed about the injury, which is very difficult. He played in the first two games, and no one wants to see him out like this. You will wait for him to return to the playoffs, play, help us and strive to achieve our goals.
“I know it’s frustrating for him, but I know he will do everything to get himself back to normal and get back on the court to prepare for the return.
“I don’t need to encourage him. He is highly motivated. He is one of the best players in the league. He doesn’t need my encouragement. I just look forward to continuing to work with him, continue to consult him, continue to learn and improve my football skills with him during the off-season, which is what I am looking forward to now.”
