Jarrett Allen Reacts To Matching Up With Spurs Rookie Victor Wembanyama, Grateful For Cavs’ Trust

The roller coaster of this game and keeping us all in our toes until the very end you know how we do it out here we like to keep the fans engaged uh we definitely no but we came out flat and they took advantage of that Spurs has a

Great track record of being able to play good basketball so we had to be ready and we just weren’t but we were able to uh rebound and come back and win why did you guys win out at the end uh we just picked back up what Cavs basketball is

About we started defending we started sharing the ball and getting downhill what were your impressions of playing against W for the first time uh I’m excited for him he has he’s going to have a long career in this league he’s talented can take people off the dribble

Excellent shot blocker uh post up he has it all so I’m I’m happy for him and I hope he excels what surprised you the most about playing against him um you never know you never realize how big his wingspan and how tall he is until you actually go up against them and uh

That’s just surprised me tonight finish with what 29 tonight uh I believe so yeah how badly did you want to get to the 30 we all went the 30 ball we all but it just wasn’t my night for the 30 tonight and you know hopefully I can get

It in Paris you’ve stepped out a lot over this last 11 games what has it been for you to know that your teammates trust you and also you’ve had to step into that role right I’m happy they trust me uh you know when you’re down two people somebody needs to step up and

Uh it was just my turn to step up so they’re feeding me the ball they’re trusting me to make the right play to hit them in the pocket or for me even to score so it’s good they trust me especially against high quality Talent like wmy and MB and other guys that you

Go up against on a daily basis are you trying to make a statement to kind of push your All-Star cany up uh not not necessarily uh just going out there and play when it’s high competition that just boosts everybody morale and that just helps me play better J keeps

Talking about how you guys want to push the pace when Max gets the ball it seems like he’s always looking up how how crucial is that to what you you guys want to do on the offensive it’s crucial JB wants us to get high quality shots high quality threes high quality layups

Um you know Max always pushes the ball but somebody else that’s great at pushing is Isaac aoro you know he start this we all we all push the ball downhill and get high quality shots anybody else what are you looking forward to for the trip to Paris uh you

Know I actually truly like plane rides so I’m excited for this plane ride we got lay flat seats uh just time to relax and kick my feet up thanks
