Recently, 76ers' new Tanhua VJ Edgecomb participated in a podcast of teammate George.

Edgecombe: "I know you played with Westbrook. He is also the object of my efforts to imitate, the person I admire. I think we have a lot of similarities in some ways. What is it like to play with him?"

George: "It's fun. It's really fun, and I always support Russell. Any time, whenever I have the chance, after the Thunder and playing with me, whenever I have the chance, I'll be the first to stand up and say he's great. Because it's not just about the things on the court Yes, people don't understand that what he brought to the locker room off the court and to the whole team is unique. Do you understand what I mean? He's passionate. You know, he's the kind of person who devotes himself to the team. So when I got there, like I told you, he told me to be myself and not try to cater to others. Yes, this is what he said when he first communicated with me. And, at that time, I did feel like I was in a good state and I was at the peak. Obviously, I was in a different environment, The core of the team is someone else, and he is willing to open the door and tell me 'Hey, come on, just be yourself'. He said he will cooperate with me, and everyone will cooperate with me. This immediately made me feel comfortable and able to play in my own style. "

" For me, all I have to do is score and defend. I think we cooperate so well because he was so good at holding the ball. He can create a lot of offensive opportunities and also create a lot of opportunities to score easily. This is the cooperation and tacit understanding between us, and it is also me The reason we played so well is because we know each other and complement each other well. So, that's why we cooperate so well, and the whole team is the same. I think, while I want to thank Russell, I really deserve the success there, because we have a good chemistry between us, and the coaching staff allows me to play and be myself. So, everything goes well. But Russell is absolutely unique and amazing. This question is good.
