CJ Postgame talks his performance | Pelicans-Kings Postgame Interview 1/7/2024

Guys did a great job of moving the ball around setting great screens for me U allowed me to maintain Rhythm and balance and let me shoot the ball with confidence I think that’s that’s what it’s all about shooting the ball with confidence trusting your preparation a lot of our baskets came in transition

Came off great defense and thing I thought it was a great team win yes you said uh you talk about preparation you know me this team four times already what was anything prepared differently you know going in this or just Squad play shoot the basketball more of the same

Defend at a high level understand the Personnel understand uh who likes to go right who likes to go left who likes to shoot threes and execute our coach’s game plan I thought we did that tonight what about that rebounding I mean uh I think it was like

229 or something like that in the first half and you guys just kept going we did a tremendous job of rebounding that starts with our bigs and our wings getting out rebounding through the elbow and really taking advantage of um really great perimeter defense and great interior defense CJ 35 assists tonight

Too you talk about the passing twoo I know had eight Daniels had about six or seven the ball was moving smoothly tonight yeah the ball was moving 19 assists at halftime if I didn’t have three turnovers uh I think we would have had three more assists so just got to

Continue to take care of the ball have less than 12 turnovers and and really take advantage of our athleticism and our wings and our shooting you think you all got this team’s number uh we we played well tonight we played really well tonight like when you’re up 30 and

Up 40 and 50 just on the bench just the vi yeah it’s a it’s a it’s a really good uh feeling when you’re able to um beat a team on their home floor and you hear their fans boing them and stuff like that so that’s a sign of us executing

The game plan and and playing really well CJ be my last question CJ how do you carry over such a good team shooting performance into the next game you guys shot the ball like over 60% tonight enjoy a nice off day I’m going to celebrate with my family um enjoy my

Time with my son and my daughter and my wife and my son will be two on January 10th so I’m going to pretend I’m not in the NBA like I always on off days get treatment and um go back to to work when it’s time to go back to work
