AJ Green Postgame Press Conference | 3.14.24



AJ Green Postgame Press Conference | 3.14.24

What’s up AJ um I mean I’ll start at the end uh you and Bobby kind of keyed to run there the two of you scored 12 points in a run that flipped the game so just what did you see from from Bobby you know kind of finding something their

Offensively but then yourself also to be able to add add something yeah I think Bobby just uh you know stuck with it and um let it come to him and you know when he sees one go he can put him on the board pretty quick and that’s what he

Did and I just tried to be patient find space and um Let it Fly when I was open um I think everyone knows what you can do offensively but to close a game I would imagine you know you had to feel good about what you were doing

Defensively so can you speak to the effort on Tyrese and then also the sort of the teamwork they involved with kind of helping your bigs and Brooke help trap him yeah I mean a player like that it takes a team um we wanted to get the

Ball out of his hand a little bit more so we started you know blitzing and caring um the ball screen and making him give it up and then I just tried to um deny it back and you know when I was guard him just make it tough um he’s

Going to make shots just make him work for all those shots and you know Brooke Bobby Giannis they all have my back um down in the paint so it makes my life easier as well um I realized you’re not on on the floor fatherless but what did

You see in the in the first half particular 10 turnovers they get 17 points off those I I know they’re a team that likes to get handsy deflections Etc but I guess why were they so successful in that way first half I think we just

Let them um kind of dictate us a little bit um they were kind of in our space and we just sped up a little bit and just weren’t patient um offensively with just getting what we wanted you know in the second half we did that and things open up tremendously guys start hitting

Shots Yiannis is at The Rim bobby gets going um but those turnovers um let them play in transition and you know let them hit threes and just get some easy ones going back to that patience factor that was something that doc had touched on in

The Huddle um he was talking to you guys about you know not playing too fast not making it harder than it should be what was it um about maybe his messaging or what you guys were talking about on the bench that helped you get to that point

Of okay we’re going to relax and we’re going to play the game our way and go our Pace um I think it was just kind of the discipline execution just do it um they put two on the ball whether it’s Giannis or Dame and so that’s automatically an

Advantage right there then just finding the open man and playing Advantage Basketball and getting good looks um and we’ll live with shots falling or not um so I think it was really just settling in and just simply just doing it kind of and then you also you mentioned some

Of your teammates and you said you know they always have my back and rookie said the same thing he used that trust word before you came in here what is it about this team where you guys have develop that level of trust yeah I mean there’s a handful of

Guys that have been here for a while and that’s built in and then it’s just a matter of getting everybody else um together as well and as The Season’s gone I think you’ve really seen how we’ve you know learn to play off each other and that trust on defense

Especially um knowing Brook’s always there um but when he helps and we got to help him and crack his guy rebound and rotations so it’s just a continuous process of learning building and then applying it in game and we continue to do that and you know that that’s what takes us in the

Postseason heyj back here I can’t remember how many games ago it was but I remember doc saying your threat as a three-point shooter out there and he wanted you know the team to kind of use it in that sense a lot of those shots coming with the team kind of behind what

Is it like for you to when the opportunities are up and down but to stay ready and and be able to deliver tonight and help you guys come with this comeback win yeah I think that’s really just my job to stay ready um you don’t always know which night it’ll be but you

Know we had bees was out tonight um so I just had to step up and try to bring value play hard and you know when shots are there just let it rip and and trust that you know they’ll fall um so yeah staying ready being a pro hey um generally speaking what have

You thought about the physicality of the games after the All-Star break at least watching from afar it seems like things have really ratcheted up with you know just what they’re kind of allowing contact wise yeah I think um as a player you just got to know um that’s how it’s

Going to be um towards the end of the season here and especially come playoff play offs and just prepare yourself and that means um doing all the little things just a little bit more um with a little bit more effort excuse me so um it’s fun though that’s you know this

Time of the year it’s fun that’s what it’s about we look forward to it thank you guys
