Howard talks about playing basketball in Taiwan: I like the basketball here very much. I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here.
Live Bar, November 21 -yesterday’s T1 League regular season, Taoyuan clouded leopard 94-103 lost to the Sun, Howard, who fought back to back, failed to lead the team to win two consecutive wins at home.
After the game, Howard praised the opponent’s defense in the interview: “They use regional defense to keep people in the forbidden area, which also makes it difficult for me to give full play to my advantages.” However, Howard also said that this was just a goal in the season, and it would be good to prepare for the counterattack.
As for myself playing for more than 40 minutes in both back-to-back matches, Howard said: “I haven’t played for so long in a row, and my body is really still adjusting this state, in the first half, my legs collided with my teammates, so I was a little tired. But I am still full of gratitude for being able to play. Yesterday I continued to play in the extension match. I won yesterday’s opening victory very hard, but I will be ready for the next game.”
Howard continued: “I like the basketball in Taiwan very much, but I think the basketball in the world is similar, that is, the team should score, and try not to let the opponent score. I really appreciate the hard work of Taiwan players and the feeling of confrontation. I like it very much. The point is that coming here can help Yunbao players grow up, because the players here are very young, maybe I am not used to playing in front of so many audiences. I am here to help them and hope to make the whole league better.”
In addition, Howard also said: “I have been in NBA for 18 years. It is a blessing to play in Taiwan. There are such teammates and coaches like baby (Liu Jiafa), I am very happy. I don’t want to go home. I want to stay here.”
In yesterday’s game, Howard played for 43 minutes, scored 8 in 21 shots, 0 in 2 points, 7 in 10 free throws, and scored 23 points, 9 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 cap 1 steals.
