Jeremiah Robinson-Earl on fan intensity, defensive versatility | Pelicans vs. Bulls Shootaround
The the two home games since the allstar break a difference in just like the crowd intensity it seems like it’s it feels like it’s been kind of a playoff form already for sure I think I think the city has a lot of love for us and we
We try to go out there every night and bring the energy for them so you know it’s been a lot of fun you know coming back from the All-Star break I feel like we’ve been playing with a lot of energy and I think it shows with the crowd as
Well Hons are sixth in defense it’s like the second straight year they’ve just defended really well what’s your what’s your take on why has just been a good defensive team this year I think we have a lot of versatile guys in guard one through five multiple positions you know
I think we do a we do a good job in practices and shoot arounds with the habits we build so when we go out there we can just trust one another and just go out there and defend yeah you feel like the length and versatility really
Benefits you guys on that end for sure I think having a lot of guys that are big and strong but also mobile Like Larry bi you know JB does a good job as well you know I think we do just do a great job communicating and just going out there
And being versatile in the defensive as being a teammate of her for the first season this year what is the thing that impressed you the most or maybe surprises you the most about what he’s able to do at that end of the floor I love his even kill mentality whether if
It’s going good or bad he’s a same exact dude he comes to work every single day puts on his hard hat and just does does what he does best yeah what’s been like watching I guess more the offense mean not flow through Z but I guess Z
Initiating more of it I don’t know over the last month or so and and um just your your thoughts on how that’s going I think it’s going well you know he brings a lot of gravity with him and people know what he likes to do so I think he
Is confidence confident with us as well you know when we’re playing in our roles so I think we just do a great job feeding off each other and he’s he’s a bad dude out there is it unique to like see a guy who has gravity as a a driver
Like I feel like we think of that as like shooting but like guys are worried about him driving the ball yeah he’s a he’s a one-of a kind player so I think with that gravity we got to we got to help him out as much as we can and I
Think we’ve been doing a good job this season and hopefully we can keep pushing it going going into later this year how did you approach you know you had a a stretch of games where you didn’t get to play and then you end up getting a lot
Of minutes game um how did you approach that just mentality as just being prepared yeah you know just staying confident with myself and KN the work that I put in every single day will pay off and just remaining patient you know not not getting too ahead of myself
Knowing just when my time comes I’ll be ready to go thank you
