Brook Lopez On Facing Off Against Wemby | Postgame Press Conference | 1.4.24

Your league leader in blocks Victor second um you you had your moments the two of you what were just initial Impressions on that sort of say one-on-one but those opportunities for you to to yeah uh it was uh definitely exciting you know going against them um

You know uh it was a great barometer for us but just to to uh you know get a chance to to see him play play against him you know uh it was it was a lot of fun you know he’s he’s just so talented he can he can do everything you know uh

He really guards to plays hard um you know it was uh it was definitely exciting um you know and just I’m uh so impressed you know just just after uh seeing what he could do out there really cool we asked the question like oh were you surprised by and you guys are all

Like no we’re NBA players we’ve seen it all before um with him was that any different like like it was like y saying like no whatever the listed height is he’s taller than that like yeah yeah yeah it it was there was definitely there were definitely a few things I was

I was like yeah I I haven’t really seen that before I mean um I mean there was a point where I was on the bench I was just watching the game and Giannis came down and did something amazing and then when Bama came back and did something

Amazing as well I was like wow this is I’m watching something really special here you know the game’s going like this I don’t know I mean I’ll shoot a few more left shoulder jump hooks that might be for me for for my normal down Earth

Stuff but I it was it was really cool to see it it was awesome you mentioned that this game was a good barometer for you guys as a team in which way or in what way yeah uh it was uh great for us to go up against a team like that they move

The ball well they uh they play so fast in transition that’s one of the things they focus on and that’s definitely something we can improve on we need to work on especially after the way we played in transition against Miami on defense or I mean excuse me Indiana on

Def defense um and I think we we did a great job of you know responding to what they did uh in uh focusing on defensive end against stops you uh have seen jannis do everything at this point um I mean I’ve only been on this with you

Since the championship season so I was just what curious have you seen him have that sort of that one-on-one back and forth with someone also that size of like the literally like they’re blocking each other dunking on each other no no nothing immediate really

Comes to mind um you know and uh it was again it was a treat for me to be a part of to watch and it’s something that’s just going to be so great for the league for years to come just what you think of Janis stepping into some clutch threes

To to close that it’s great to see him I mean he’s always playing with confidence but uh to confidently step in and shoot that three you know we’re all behind him as well so you know for him to just take that shot like it was nothing you know

It was great to see obviously they haven’t won a ton of games this year but just as you guys find yourselves in that kind of dog fight with them like what does it mean to have not just Yannis but also Dame to to take you guys home yeah

I mean uh obviously they’re they’re huge part of what we do they’re are leaders uh and again we have that belief in them that they’re always going to be there for us in the clutch and we have so many guys you know that that you know

We’re fortunate we can rely on in those clutch situations Chris as well be has been huge at times you can just go down the list and so those those two guys on top and then everyone else following them right behind him we’re in a really great place Speaking of Chris this was

His first back-to-back this season and he was telling us earlier John horse mentioned it’s his first back toback in like a year and a half and you’ve been with him through this injury Journey if you will what’s it like for you as his teammate to see him getting back out

There yeah you know just seeing Chris being Chris you know it’s it’s obviously uh a great relief for us you know you know to have him out there more and more and more uh you know I I don’t know I might be snitching a little bit sorry

Chris but I heard him on the free throw line saying he wanted to play more you know there um so you know it’s it’s great to to have more time with Chris Encore that’s that’s never a bad thing you shook your head after the J ball against wimby the very first play what

Were you what were you shaking your head about at that moment oh cuz they he was telling me to back up the ref was telling me to back up and get out of there I didn’t think I was doing anything I didn’t know if it was a wmy

Reaction or anything no it wasn’t it it was with me it’s probably going to be a referee official reaction I know right so surprising yeah yeah
