Zion Williamson on Brandon Ingram’s night, road trip test | Pelicans vs. Raptors Postgame 2/5/24

Sign a uh big KN from Brandon you’re really going to do them like that hey you know what go ahead hey you good brother I respect that I respect that I appreciate that you know what my man go ahead brother uh Z Brandon had a big night

Tonight um eight of 11 from three Brandon’s knocking down thre and the bench is going crazy you see how the crowd reacts um what does that do for the offense you got to give 14 a ball just let him go to work because he going to make the right play

Whether he whether he’s like shooting like that or if it’s just another game where it’s like he just kind of on Pace to do what he usually do he always going to make the right play um but when he when he was doing that it was just nah

Fine him it seemed like everything he was throwing up was was going in uh from the start of the game but uh that’s just great energy like like it’s a long season so when you have moments like that it definitely brings the team closer together you can tell about the

Reaction from that that kind of did bring the team closer together um it’s almost like a Waiting to Exhale moment for you guys everything kind of wied off to the way side what was your experience right there on the bench when when you saw it

Uh my experience I was on the bench and the coach was like Z you uh you going back in I looked up I saw what he was doing nah 14 got it uh so it just be like nights like this uh like I only play 21 minutes CJ play 22 herb 22 JV

20 um like we just have a balanced attack and you know with a season like this you appreciate nights like this in terms of in the grand scheme of things and waiting for playoffs um you the the Raptors on the second night of a back to

Back um I think you guys understood that and your energy on the defensive defensive end kind of told the story it was a lot of rotation end up with a block in the first quarter um how important is the defensive side of the ball when it when talking about getting

Out to a good start with this team uh a great defensive start is It’s always important and just being great defensively is important because we know on offense we’re very elite there but when we got our defense going and and our offense going it just build it build

Confidence and now shots every shot just feel good cuz like now we going to get a star and we going we going to push the ball uh and we going to get another star and we going to make the right play get the crowd into it and everybody just get

Hype so when both sides of the ball are very efficient that’s that’s a great night okay you guys are going another going on another road trip uh in La uh what’s the importance of of this road trip I you have one game at home and you’re going to take take another road

Trip what’s the importance of this road trip how do you get off to a good start um we got we got the two La teams um back to back when we uh go to La and that’s going to be I think that’s going to be a good test for us because one you

Know the End season tournament with the Akers and then you know two with the Clippers what happened with us here last time we was home um you know those are two really good teams uh with the Lakers it’s you got to look beyond their record like they cuz when the playoffs

Come they they show up so I think that’s going to be a great test for us um and bouncing back from like those losses all right thanks Z no problem
