Doncic: We really didn t have time to get in last season. The preseason is crucial to me and the team.
Today, the Lakers held the media day for the new season, and Doncic accepted an interview.
Reporter: Pelinka said that what impressed him the most was the leadership you showed in the national team, and she also looked forward to you bringing this trait to the Lakers. Given all that happened this summer, how do you feel about your role as the leader of this team? How will this affect your future prospects?
Doncic: To be honest, I think this summer is very fulfilling. Since the end of the season, I immediately started to train myself and stayed in shape, and of course I went back here to complete the signing. After following the national team, I am now back here, everything starts again, with a brand new mindset, and I am very excited about it.
Reporter: At the end of the season, you mentioned that the team really didn't have much time to practice together. Despite the lack of running-in, the team still performed very successfully and won many games. What do you think during this training camp, especially your cooperation with LeBron and Reeves, can you maximize each other's strength?
Doncic: I think the first thing is communication, which is very important, but more importantly, try various cooperation in training. We did not have time to run in last season, so the preseason is crucial to me and the team. How to say it, you need to understand the characteristics of each teammate and know what kind of playing style everyone likes. We can make many mistakes in training, and this is exactly the meaning of training. Next we will have a lot of joint training, and I can't wait to get to know each teammate.
