The reporter had to try twice to make sure he got his answer right. ” I said yes, that’s why I wanted to start in November, October, whatever month », then repeat Jamal Murray who was just asked if his “reputation” as a regular season starter was slowly getting on his nerves.
As a result, the Canadian is off to a stronger start this year than in previous years. After his 25 points (11/20 shooting) and 10 assists against the Warriors in the opener, the playmaker just followed up another stellar outing with 23 points (8/17), 6 rebounds and 5 assists. against the sun.
At the end of this match, David Adelman admitted that he talked to his leader about starting the workout stronger. “ He has had decent starts in the past. I think everyone focused a lot on statistics back then », notes the son coach.
Rather speaking statistics about his player, the decisive element in winning the title in 2023 next to Nikola Jokic. In addition to the physical problems that plagued him for several years when he started training, Murray has an unfortunate tendency to lack skill during his first matches.
He was never invited to the All-Star game
The Denver Gazette notes this clearly: he averaged barely 15 points in October, then 16 points in November, before gaining momentum heading into the All-Star Game. An event he hasn’t been invited to yet. It is undoubtedly necessary to make a connection between the two.
« Now that we’ve won, I think it’s more about the mentality in the way he’s playing, not chasing the numbers, not feeling the pressure of the contract or questions like ‘Why haven’t you been an All-Star yet?’ », continues his coach, starting the topic which continues the 28-year-old player almost since his debut.
Adelman this encore: « Some of these questions seem a little ridiculous to me, because how many All-Stars have never won a title? How many All-Stars don’t have a triple-double in the Finals? How many All-Stars don’t have three 50-point games in the playoffs, or what have they done? Ask yourself these questions sometimes. »
So many questions that could lead to the obvious answer: Following this course shown after two games, Murray could be invited to the All-Star Game.
