Trey Murphy III on clutch time win, Zion Williamson | New Orleans Pelicans Practice 2/4/24

I mean just just from your point of view what was it like just seeing Z make that play for the game winner against San Antonio it’s just the type of player he is I mean he’s Dynamic he’s a guy that can get out transition finish he has in

My opinion probably the best touch in the league he’s up he’s up there with you know the guys have the best touch in the league so um you know it doesn’t surprise me too much how big is it just when you’re kind of ascending to have those moments late games knowing that

That’s required when you’re a star of a team you know it’s great you know you definitely got to see those moments and you know when you’re in moments like that in the future you can tap back it to you know Spurs game I made this so I

Know I can do it so it definitely helps a lot TR how important was it to get finally a clutch time win for you guys you know you had struggled previously not only that you guys came back from 10 down that’s something you guys haven’t typically done either this season yeah

No I mean any win in the NBA is not going to be easy and um you know we’re very thankful for it obviously getting to that point wish we could have played a little better but you know glad that we pulled on in the clutch you feel like

That can carry over you guys you can remember this you know what you did next time you’re in a close one absolutely we can use a lot of stuff that we use in that game I mean Spurs played a great game in that game and um got to give

Them the credit and uh you know just show them I mean just acknowledge that they played a great game to your point about his touch I mean is there you ever like stop yourself and like this guy’s moving so fast with so much force he’s

Able to just lightly put it up there if you look at the bench during the games like every time make a layup and I just turn around and look at Cory Brewer and Aon miles I’m just like this is fantastic like it’s it’s insane like you

Know there’s a lot of times as NBA players you’re numb to a lot of just great plays because it happened almost every single game but he um he figures it out every night to maybe turn around and say wow that’s a great play right there and what’s the been like for you

Just trying to get back right get back to your Rhythm I know some of it has been like trying to just get back right physically yeah for sure but I mean just what’s the process been like you trying to get back into that it’s good man

Mainly is a lot of just mental just understanding like you’re not going to be at exactly where we were before the injury you had surgery and um just getting around that you know that whole Theory but um overall I feel good though just ready to competing you know get

Ready for Monday I know we talked before about them want to keep you on like a little minutes restriction or something like that is that still going on or what’s the process no I think we’re we’re off that now so should be free to

Go I would have to go back and watch but did you spend some time you spent a little bit of time on on Victor on uh the other day right yeah I did was what is uh well there’s a play where you had to block him out I mean what is what is

Blocking out a 7 foot four man like why’ you have to bring that up it’s not anything gets you I mean it’s like I wanted like I talked to ref and he and I was like yo like there’s no over the back he was like I can’t lie he didn’t

Touch it and I was like damn he really didn’t like it was it’s crazy because like I’m blocking out I’m moving him back but he’s like just 7 foot4 with like A8 foot Wing it’s really difficult to get to that you know see how that

That would be the case yeah yeah and I’m I’m a tall player and so like that it’s crazy yeah
