“I was going to say something there, but I ended up not doing so. However, I ended up accidentally pressing publish and didn’t even notice. In the end, I didn’t look at my phone anymore because we have to go warm up on the court. I looked now after the game and saw all the chaos. But it was an accident, I swear. This had nothing to do with basketball.”Wood denied, after the match. “I would love to help the team even more if I had more time”he added, referring to how he would like to act more.

“I did not see it. I’m not on social media, actually, so I didn’t really know. Well, I wanted to maintain the structure of the rotation. Wood has been getting more minutes than Jaxson, so I thought it was important to keep him in his usual role. In the end, my choices always seek the greatest possible balance for my team. I’m not choosing who’s on the court for a popularity contest. I think I need to strengthen the defense. Anthony Davis is out, and you lose a lot of the team’s defensive mentality. So it was necessary to reinforce this side. A rotation aims to balance our players, and the best combinations that can lead us to victory. I think a good defense is what creates a good attack. So I felt like they both did a solid job that night.”said Ham.
