Peyton Watson Post Game Press Conference vs. Blazers 🎙

Pton are you just fourth quarter guy now is that just who we should be calling you fourth quarter p no man just call me a winner man that’s all that’s the only title I need just call me a winner uh what goes into just is it

Flipping a switch is it just rat like is it just ratcheting up the intensity like what was said between kind of like that end to third start of the fourth quarter time where you guys just like he went on like a 25 to3 run or something like that

Yeah man I’m one of the those guys who can affect the game without the ball always have been always will be and I think that those times where I I’m putting everything I can in the defense and rebounding and just helping us win um I think it just wears the wears the

Other team out and down the stretch in the fourth quarter that’s where my energy just keeps on keeps on coming so um you know two good fourth quarters um and hopefully I can continue to do it you walked me through the pullup three in transition nobody picked you up was

There any hesitation going through your head of just walking right into a three not not whatsoever um that’s a shot that I work on and I’m not going to let nobody disrespect my work um I do it too much too often and um it was just one of

Those things where the game gave me what it gave me and I took it where’s your confidence level at this point uh super high but that’s never been an issue for me um I’m I’m one of those guys who stays even kill no matter what I try not

To get too too low I know what I could do I know the work that I put in and the preparation and listening to my guys my bet so um all that combined you know what I’m saying it builds and my confidence keeps growing by the game

What what’s it feel like to get that those put back dunks what kind of En you know super super exhilarating is how I describe it um I know I’m going to have some people like why’ you get so hyped over that putback dunk like it wasn’t nothing special uh but I’m the

Type of guy to do what I feel um it pped me up it pped the crowd up and I think it kept our team going and kept the momentum high so I think that was a contributing reason to why we won but in the first quarter you’re the role man or

You’re the low man Aon rolls to the rim they throw the lob you go up and meet it what what what’s going through your head there honestly I was mad at myself cuz I was a little bit late but those plays are always kind of good and bad because

Um you do what you can to make it up but in this league it’s unforgiving you know I could have been on the other end of a poster any given night you know so I just went up tried to make a play on the ball and I was able to block it

Successfully but I was definitely mad at myself because I wasn’t in position where I needed to be how’ it feel to see Christian have a game like he did tonight it it means the world to me honestly um it makes it h happier to see

Me get it makes me happier to see him get back in his group then it does for me to continue mine you know I think that he’s a special talent as well he’s a big piece of our team and I just want to see him in good spirits at all times

You know that’s when he’s playing the best when he’s passionate about the game when he’s playing his hard out when he’s playing with no weight on his shoulders I think that’s when he’s at his best so we saw that from him tonight and we’ll continue to see it from him all season

Do you feel like there’s been a little bit of a weight on his shoulders just trying to get through whatever he’s been getting through lately I mean absolutely you know this is our career so you know when you feel as though you’re underperforming in your job um nobody

You takes that lightly this is all our lives like this is all we do we see each other more than our families we put everything we got into this so when it’s not going as well as you want it to go that’s obviously going to affect you but

We just try to do our best to keep encouraging them keep them in High Spirits and you know let them know that you’re still nice bro like nothing’s changed it’s just the es and flows of the season it’s up and down and I just want him to stay confident stay um you

Know what I’m saying ready a lot of the Vets say this is you know toughest stretch of the Season people are are thinking about the All-Star break because it’s been you know such a a heavy schedule you as a guy who this is probably as much basketball as you as

You played in a long time is this a part of the schedule where you’re like put more weight on my shoulders and I feel up to help the team through this stretch uh absolutely um for me I’m not in no rush to get to the break you know what I’m saying the

Break will be nice and I’ll enjoy it when it happens but until the last second of the last game before break I’m focused on basketball and that’s just how I feel I can’t take my foot off the gas because that’s just not how who I am

As a person so I’ll be looking forward to the break when it comes but until then we got another game what’s uh forgot my question sorry hey man it happens to the best of us happens to the best of us that’s all thanks appreciate thanks guys
