New Clippers backcourt player: I can adapt to a variety of systems and I think I’m in good shape

After the daily training during the training camp, the Los Angeles Clippers' new backcourt player Bradley Beal accepted an interview with reporters. In the interview, he also talked about his integration into the team system, his feelings about joining the Clippers and his performance during the preseason.

When talking about his integration into the team system, Bill said: I have a strong ability to adapt. In my career, I have experienced periods when I needed to be in charge, and I also encountered periods when I was required to run without the ball, cut in the air, and organize with the ball, so I am capable of various systems and playing styles. I think the most important thing for me at this stage is to make the right choices on the court. I think there's nothing better than giving assists to big guys to help them score, and when you have a tall player like Ivica Zubac around you who is setting screens to help you create space, you have to repay them with your own passes. When asked about his feelings about joining the Clippers, Bill said: I am super excited about it. The environment, organizational system and team atmosphere here are great. I am not only excited, but also full of expectations.

When talking about his performance in the preseason, Bill continued: I think I did pretty well, but because this was my first game after returning during this period, I haven't fully entered the game state yet. I'm always hard on myself, so I felt like I could have been better defensively, and I made a few mistakes. But my overall movement feels good, which is the most important thing. My physical condition is better than expected, and this game is also a good start. We have been fine-tuning the regular season starting lineup in the training camp and the team's daily training. Although we don't have many opportunities for actual practice, we practice various offensive and defensive tactics every day, and there are many experienced veterans in the team. Everyone has a good ability to understand tactics. We can quickly master Tyronn Lue's defensive system.

In the NBA regular season last season, Bill was affected by injuries in 82 games and played 53 times on behalf of his old club Phoenix Suns, averaging 32.1 minutes per game. , averaging 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game, as well as 1.9 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 49.7% from the field, 38.6% from the three-point range, and 80.3% from the free throw line. In the team's final preseason victory over the Golden State Warriors, Beal made his debut with the Clippers. In his debut, he made 6 of 9 shots and 0 of 3 from beyond the arc in 14 minutes and 38 seconds of playing time. He scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block.
