Jose Alvarado on his performance, team offense | Pelicans Lakers Postgame Interview 12/31/23

Ankle issue you dealt with early season was you know tough to overcome what’s just been the process like of getting back to you this year Rhythm you know that’s the most important thing you know just get a rhythm and you know uh try to fill it out every time you

Know practice ain’t the game you know scrimmages ain’t the game so when you got to get game reps and you know that comes with you know a lot of trust and that’s what they got in me so a lot of trust a lot of uh you know uh you know

Mistakes that they going to let me learn and that’s what happened and today was one of those is you know you just got to figure it out you know I’m figuring out little by little and and um yeah that’s that’s what it is yeah I mean it was a I

Think a second straight game where Zion CJ bi all had 20 plus the assist numbers for those guys are really high just I guess what you see overall offensively where there’s just like a lot of balance for you guys trust I think that’s the most important thing I think it’s com

Down to trust you know like I said all those games we lost you know was close games you know I think we know that and um some days is going to be one of those days that we look at each other and we don’t know what’s going on but we just

Got to trust the work that we put in I’m behind closed doors and um those guys right now they you know they ain’t no surprise they just trust in each other and then they trust in us uh that’s one thing I think is the beauty about this

Team you know um even though we got you know we know we role players and they they don’t treat us like that though they treat us like you know like teammates like brothers like human beings so and they see how much we put in work and those guys like I said it’s

Going to be a lot it’s a lot trust going around and uh through different stages of your career we’ talked about kind of the surre feelings you’ve had uh just how surreal was to get two GTA on Lebron in one game I mean surprising because you know he watched films and you know

He’s always you know alert to me when I I’m when I am on the court so um you know it’s fun you know I mean it would have been anybody who had the Bard D at the court but you know LeBron I could say you know that’s um the one of the

Greatest players is to have play this game and for me to be on the court it’s for me to get steal for me to do anything so that’s pretty you know amazing and you know like I get back to watch videos when I grow old and you

Know when they say that you know one of the best is the best player to play this game at least I got a video on him you know getting the steal I know Willie talked a lot about wanting to uh kind of respond in this game because of the way

It looked the last time y’all played them but just overall since the end season tournament what do you think about just the the team rebounded I mean the message to my team you know we we needed to win this game but um I want to beat them or play them in the playoffs

And then win that cuz you know the inseason in season tournament meant something you know not saying this game didn’t mean nothing you know we got to you know I’ll be kick that but it meant something so you know um we got to go look at back good you know when we win

Today and we glad we took care of business as we should but when something means something and we play them that’s when the payback I think is going to be better so um we got to look at it it’s like that but great win you know we

Going to end the New Year’s with a win and um yeah and Jose you talked to us that first interview after you guys got back from Vegas after that disappointing loss you took a lot of responsibility for not the team kind of being prepared right for getting them up getting your

Teammates up for it so how would you grade your job of doing that tonight you know uh trying to do the little things you know get uh every steal uh I think one of my I don’t know who was it but they said I never met something about

Like I it’s so crazy that a person with zero points could impact the game how you just did you know and and that felt good you know um it felt like getting it back to the old me you know that’s how I how I impact this game it’s not about

Scoring with me at least and you know uh and that it felt good to hear that so I BR the energy and speaking of impact without really getting in the points category it’s nice when you do but Larry what’s it mean meant for you guys your team having him back these last two

Games I mean that’s just appr proove that’s just a a point right there that when you a player that don’t want to score impacts in in every category you know we know that though um we always talk to each other and you know we always say that you know right we not

Here to score it’s a plus that we could score though like don’t get that Twisted you know they going to leave me open like I said before I’m going make shots they going to leave Larry and open three he going to make shots so um it’s just

About the little things to get these guys growing you know um they they important to this team you know without them three or them four four five you know what if they’re not going it’s going to be tough for us it’s going to have a long season so we need to get

Them going so that’s that’s important for us tonight yeah yeah yeah you know obviously I think the whole building though we got a white you know that means front the pose I said hell no I got this one and you know I think it went the right way cuz if it went

Somewhere else way I would have been in trouble but um it went the right way I believe in myself down there appreciate it take care yeah y too happy New Year everybody Happy New Year
