Brook Lopez Press Conference | 3.3.24

Brook Lopez Press Conference | 3.3.24

You practice at home in what a month did you everything was we managed to figure everything out eventually um what I mean this is I think the third one with Doc what have these I know he’s gone longer in some shoot rounds um where are you kind of at

With this does it still feel like install and communication that calls or where are you moving a little bit past this kind of where are you at now it’s just kind of building on all that yeah mhm like we have a pretty good foundation pretty good base at least I think so and

You know we’re building on that trying to take things to the next level uh obviously I can look ahead and say okay well four game was Co trip and and all that how have you guys try to stay in the moment and just kind of win games

Night in night out yeah I mean that’s that’s the way you have to do it right I mean that’s that’s how it works you can’t play them all at once so you know you you kind of have to use that to your Advantage is as you know simple as

That sounds and I think we have you know a group of guys who tend to look that way anyway last handful of game since the all St break is this basically the way yall want to be playing now on defense or there still room for improvement in certain are there’s

Always room for improvement but we we have the right intention the right energy you know I think um you know everyone’s in line with our principles and stuff like that uh you know but uh you know we’re definitely trending in the right direction hang the playoffs

Going off of that doc was saying that he feels like your team chemistry is coming from your defense and you said he feels like it halfens more from the defense than the offense you agree with that and why it definitely does you know it’s I think you know just on the

Defensive end that’s somewhere where you can really build relationships uh easily if you uh you know obviously if you have that right mindset and right intention and you know we we have those guys we’ve been out there playing hard defensively and we we all know we have

Each other’s back and and it’s helped create bonds you know we all have to be on a string be together and we’re out there talking to each other everyone’s moving and stuff like that so I think those those bonds and those intang intangibles we’ve been creating defensively have absolutely helped us

Grow as a team and on offense has so communication obious was a key out of court for you all has he helped Foster that from his chair with clear direct messaging on what you’re supposed to be doing and who’s doing what and when yeah yeah for sure 100% yeah and he’s he’s

Great at talking and communicating anyway aside from that as well so you know it trickles down from there you got the Clippers swice in the next week here um Team you haven’t gotten to see obviously All Season what if you kind ofer from man like how do you prepare

For tomorrow’s game yeah they’re a great team they have a lot of great talented players uh who know how to play know how to win this league and so it’s it’s good timing for us you know like I said we’re trending in the right way they’ve been

Playing great uh you know so it’s it’s a great barometer for us knowing that you’ve got some great teams coming up out west does it feel like a test of sorts for you guys and if so like what type of test is it uh it’s it’s

Definitely a test for us you know you want to show up each game obviously one at a time Eric um but this this will definitely be a great improving ground for us this this next week and like for What specifically in what areas oh I’m sure we’ll find out I’m sure you guys

Will see he’ll pick him out still have the one game left before you go out just how much different do yall feel this West Coast versus the one a few weeks ago where yall were just just into the coaching yeah it’s night and day for

Sure you know and it’s going to be I think we’re all excited to to get this going and and you know really see what we’re made of other day is obsession with Reflections makes me sound like a college coach hear and talk just what are deflections kind of meant to and what do

You think has been the key for you guys finding more deflections I um you know I think a lot of that has been communication you know helping the helper being on a string and and all that together the main defender on ball knowing that that’s behind you know

Instills a confidence in that Defender and that’s contagious throughout the entire defense and so then you really get guys flying around moving kind of playing a bit more free than they than they could be if you know they not necessarily feel like they’re on island but you know don’t have that behind

Them as someone who you know has had develop points year in we talk a lot about offense when it comes to the season threes what how do you kind of view the leag as far as defending three point especially from your position mhm yeah I mean uh this

Day and age in the league just you have to understand pretty much everyone can shoot you know you have to go out on the floor guard you know knowing that everyone’s a capable shooter you know you have to respect everyone’s shot because you know it’s something everyone

Works on now everyone’s capable of doing and so you can’t you can’t disrespect anyone in that regard in terms of you being a a Defender um especially you Dro and and there but when you are playing against you know teams and it’s like what do you

How do you just take away the mega list Factor as much as you can as a as as a uh you know that’s that’s again something you have to rely a bit on on team defense for you know you have to either getting your man if you’re

Guarding the ball or in the pick and roll you know I may have to be up but I have to guard the ball in the pick and roll as well knowing that I may have to send other my partner in the pick and roll back to get my guy at the three you

Know it’s there there’s various things you know but but obviously at the end day you got to you can’t take away everything but you got to do what you can energy effort get to the three-point line contest try to get him off the line

Brook Lopez speaks with media following practice on Sunday.
