He said: "In this league, the five position players must actively communicate because they are involved in almost every tactical action, whether it is a pick-and-roll or the team trying to target the five position's tactics, the voice of this position is crucial. I am trying to teach other players on the team, even if the defensive tactical layout (such as when he calls 'weak side help defense') may not be all With him taking the lead, I also hope that the other three or four players can also respond, instead of just relying on him. This is to share his pressure and try to create a fair environment for him to adapt. "
