Atlanta Hawks’ Zaccharie Risacher Following Summer League Loss To Wizards

so before the game we asked you how it would feel going up against another team now how do you feel afterward and how do you feel you did um honestly that was like a great experience you know first step on the NBA court and uh I I felt good you know um just matter we we lost but it’s part of the game and uh yeah uh that was you know that was a great uh experience and uh uh honestly uh can’t do the next game you hit a lot of Threes just you know not with a lot of hesitation we looked really comfortable as far as that just how did it feel as far as being comfortable reaching the moment and now it’s behind you um I try to play the way you want me to play so like I said before all the process you know the draft process uh I’m ready to do whatever the the coach want me to do so if if coach want me to take trees I’m going to take trees and being aggressive I’m going be aggressive and you know that’s just part of the the player that I am and express myself on the every side side of you know every little thing and every yeah like I said every little thing uh that I can do on the course it’s just for me you know and I’m really very exciting uh I’m really you know happy to do it Zachary were there any nerves or did you feel the pressure of this being number one first number two going up against Alex um I didn’t like really feel it because uh like I said obviously there’s a lot of expectation and everything but I’m trying to you know focus on the right thing which is like my team uh trying to win and uh yeah my teammates so as soon as you do that all the pressure goes away and at the end of the day like just basketball so yeah just focus on the right thing helps a lot to you know to uh take away that pressure when your shot wasn’t falling you started uh ceiling are Davis in the Mi match was that intentional just to try to get more shots more looks at the room um that was like that was good play you know and uh like I say um we give me a lot of option and uh I’m ready to you know uh to to be aggressive and uh if we let me like if let me sh I’m going to shut the you know how different is the NBA game compared to the uh I would say probably like there’s so much like there is more space and uh so that’s the main thing for me and uh it’s really like intense uh like run and back uh it’s fast and uh I was like I probably say that how do you feel you handled the physical it of the guys who were defending you tonight um I think I did okay uh but I know I can I can be better at that and uh that’s why you know that’s the part of me who is exciting you know uh I just I just feel like uh I’m not at you know I just I got to we on my body and uh this been getting stronger and everything so that’s a um something I got improve on but I think I I did okay what do you want to do better on Sunday uh definitely my defense I think I didn’t show like my full ability on defense and uh I’m kind of mad at that because that’s not the player that I am and uh yeah you know defensively like defensive part is really important in basketball and I feel like my like my team need that too forit from me so yeah that that’s going to be the the main thing for me to you know deal with and improve on right away what what do you feel like you didn’t sh on defense yeah um um like couple of time uh I took like back door they just like cutting my back and uh I I wanted to be aggressive and I was like tumor and so yeah let the easy easy layup and and that’s not that’s not me you know I always want to play hard and uh make things complicated for for the for the GU me so yeah that’s that’s going to be the the the main thing I one more how you feel like playing in F you know the lmb for board um how you feel like that help you guys have three picks in the top six back to back number on how do you feel like that league is up and how you feel like more press um I feel like it’s great for French basketball uh obviously we got so three players in the top six so that’s that’s amazing but you know what when I was talking about like the the right thing to focus on that’s that’s not that’s not it for me you know I try to really focus on my team and uh like the group that uh that we that we made and uh for me just the most important is the team my teammates and they trying to win game so I’m really happy to represent my country we all those great guys great players but at the end of the days me and my team and I thank you thank you thank you
