Dalano Banton Postgame Interview | Portland Trail Blazers 107, New Orleans Pelicans 126
I know you would have preferred to win but that first half from you I mean you were so aggressive going downhill what was your mindset um you know just playing you know to what coach Shi preaches to us you know getting into the paint making the right read um so you
Know just trying to do that it was working for me and then they told me just keep attacking so you know just stuck with that and just having the trust in my teammates to get downhill um you know like I said before like with the trust of you know being able to make
A mistake and try again goes a long way for all of us being a very young group so you know it helps and you know just game by game trying to get more comfortable trying to get better and you know like you said man we got to come up
With the win can you attribute your improved three-point shooting since you’ve been in Portland to anything have you ever had a run where you where you shot this 12 from three um not in my NBA career but I feel like um even when I was shooting uh Boston Toronto previous
Teams um I feel the same way I did now man like I feel like I’m going to knock it down um you sometimes it wouldn’t go in but you know I still felt like I’ll would make it so um you know just trust the work that you put in um I know how
Much shots I take per day um I know what I do um I see myself make it um so just trying to Envision it going in and you know just being confident like I said confident from your confidence from your teammates goes a long way and you know
They tell me shoot it they want me to shoot it so once once you have that man it’s you got to put it up and believe in it if you’re able to add that to your game to to be a a consistent three-point shooter what do you think that does for
For your game in the way you maybe get played um definitely say open up the floor for my teammates um you know three-point shooting is big in the in the league right now um so you know I feel like guys everybody has to work on that but um you know definitely just
Opening the flooor for my teammates I’m being more of a threat from outside the three-point line guys having to go over my screens uh chase me over the screen I feel like but that comes more with shooting off the dribble putting in more work but you know getting chased off
Screens definitely gets you downhill a lot more which is my which my main strength I you know that’ll open up lobs and kick outs for other guys so uh yeah definitely it’ll be good
