Christian Braun Full Post Game Press Conference vs. Wizards 🎙

Christian how’s it feel to be back uh it feels great um you know starting with the back toback is kind of crazy but it feels good to be back I’m startor with the win to uh 10 rebounds Off the Bench and like that’s that’s a really really high number you’re on the offensive

Glass a lot over the course of tonight just was that a point of emphasis for you just did it just happen or is it something you always do no I got a few early and there was just a lot of opportunities tonight um just being in

The right spots um trying to make extra opportunities like always um lot camera too CHR can you take us through that sequence where you had a couple of uh really impressive attacks to the rim um and one on the second I was curious if if you’re able to sort of get one of

Those to go if it sort of Sparks you to want to go at The Rim a little bit more well I think that we did a good job getting stops and running um that’s what I’m good at as playing transition and um I think p on the second want hit me in a

Good spot I’m just going and finish and you know do what I do on transition you had two steals reg had two steals pton Z had four blocks was tonight a step in I guess the right direction in terms of you kind of touched on but the identity that second

Unit wants to have yeah we did a good job switching I think that um even in practice we we’ve done a better job just communicating early um switching up and doing those things and um so you know we kind of saw a little bit of that going

Into this game I think we did a good job communicating today um they made it easy on us a couple times we forced them into tough shots um but that’s what that second you needs to do is fly around I some of the stuff some of the blocks P

Had you just can’t teach um and you know those were great plays obviously Zeke had whatever four blocks 16 minutes whatever it was but um you know both of them were really good you guys struggled a bit with switching just pre Allstar break at at various times with the bench

Unit just is it something that you guys may be focused coming out of the break with or is it is it something that feel like maybe more time has just allowed for some comfortability there uh with that with that second unit um you know we haven’t had as many reps you know all

Five us on court um but I think the whole whole you know the whole team uh needed to tighten up whether it was switching up switching you know off the ball whatever it was um but I mean that’s just natural as you you know focus on playoff defense and getting

Back to you know those habits that won US the championship last year I’m just tighten those things up uh naturally it’ll be better this is only your second year play with him but is there anything that yic ever does that surprises you at this point yeah I mean I think when we

Came in today we were talking about I think he went temp or 10 today um and it just seems like nobody you know bats an eye at it it’s like man that’s I thought my head like man that’s not normal and what he’s doing isn’t normal and um

Obviously it’s fun to watch fun to play with he threw a ball to me today that hit me in my chest before I caught it um you know so it’s fun to play with uh you know extremely humble and what he does and what he’s doing is not normal um he

Does it night in night out um so it’s really fun to watch are you still learning to like try to anticipate some of his less predictable passes well I knew there was a guy wide open in the corner so I’m thinking he’s going to throw it to the corner and I didn’t

Think I open the ball literally even chest uh so obviously great pass by him but uh you just got to be ready wherever you are in the corner not looking at you looking at you if he’s looking at you he’s probably not thrown it to you so um

You know he’s he’s an alltime great player um he’s really fun to watch really fun to play with and he makes everybody look really good what are you hoping to improve the most on in this after the allstar games to the end of the season what do you want to work on

Before the pro Seas uh I just want to win I think that that’s the biggest thing is tighten up screws as a team um you know my biggest thing for me is to you know become a two-time NBA champion this year you know that’s the teams

Focus on I think that you go to the break you step away you know you refresh a little bit you come back focused on the team that’s what that’s what everybody needs to be focused on um these last 20 some games whatever it is um you know gets to the playoffs with

Home court advantage going of the playoffs you know playing a really good team ball um so that’s everybody’s focused on I think that’s you know how you win games Malone also said though that it’s not necessarily the top priority to be the number one seed in

The west I obviously you want to win games like you want you want to be that but but does it sort of speak to the confidence of the group knowing that you can sort of play out your games know that you feel decent about playing on

The road if you have to in a later round at least yeah I think that uh we’re confident we can beat anybody um that’s the biggest part um but we’re confident when we’re healthy um so that’s also big you know you want to be healthy um as

Long as we’re we’re talking about being a top four you know see get home court advantage um but we want to be one we’re competitive um there’s no question about we want to be the number one se but you know as long as we’re healthy going to

The playoffs we think we can be what’s going take to be pedal to the metal at this stage I know last year you guys kind of took the foot off the gas towards the end when didn’t really need to compete for seating as much just what’s it going to take just going all

The way through the Finish Line this year uh like I said just just doing it um focusing on it don’t talk about it just go do it um go focus on each game win each game um try to get as high as we can in the standings um like I said

Try to be healthy that’s the biggest thing on be healthy um have home Point advantages do what we did last year stop talking about it just do it you mentioned in practice that you tried to stay off your legs this break did you feel a little lighter out there on your

Feet uh I mean naturally have to come back from a breakr everybody’s a little lighter um but I think even just stepping away um you know from a little bit step away from uh you know that first High manyi games um come back refresh you know come back um you know

Mentally locked in that’s a big thing too just mentally um coming back and locking in and um like I said just focus on the team things you know all the indiv individual stuff is out the window uh focus on winning as a team getting better as a team and tighten up those

Screws what’ you do the most without basketball say it again what did you do the most if you weren’t doing basketball what were you doing the most uh it’s crazy I actually went to watch uh my friend tyion he plays at Grand Grand Canyon he’s a really good player like 25
