Billups: We have tried our best and I am very satisfied and proud of the players.

On October 23, in the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers lost to the Timberwolves 114-118 at home. After the game, Trail Blazers head coach Billups was interviewed.

Billups: "There is indeed a lot to be commended. I feel that we have tried our best, really. On the defensive end, our defense covers a wide area, forcing them to work hard for every point they score. I am proud of the team, and I thought our performance was enough to win the game. Unfortunately, we failed to play well in one quarter, and that quarter was the most critical quarter. Although there were several key rounds at the end of the game that we failed to handle, But there are still a lot of merits in this game. I think everyone can see what kind of style we want to play and what kind of team we want to be, so I am very satisfied with everyone's effort. "

Question: "Does the team's performance make you more optimistic, or are you more frustrated because you didn't grasp it at the last moment? "

Billups: "I think there are two emotions. To be honest, I am very satisfied with the team's performance and proud of the players. They tried their best on the court. I often say that I just want to create an atmosphere where if the opponent wants to beat us, they have to fight tooth and nail to win. I feel like tonight Edwards Everyone can see how difficult it is to play - he is really good and one of the top players in the league, but he has to do three or four consecutive actions after halftime to get to the basket for a layup. I thought he would gradually lose his strength if this continues. Obviously, he made the key shot at the end, and Randle played hard. This is what we want - to make our opponents fight for every point. We did it, but it was a pity that we failed to win the game in the end. "
