After returning to the NBA with six, new Knicks Wingerwhich “intends to be a guide for a new generation,” said “intensity level in pretty amazing training” Blues.

Before dealing with Montenegro this Monday (9:00, you live on Team channel), Gender of Dreuca (Eure-et-Loir), took over the beginning of preparation for Eurobasket (28. August 14. September).

Guerschon, how are your first steps as a Captain of the French team?

Great, it doesn’t change much for me, I keep the same attitude, I don’t necessarily have to put pressure on myself. I try to stay positive, we have to continue working as we do. And there will be good things to happen. I will try to be a guide for a new generation and do the best I can, but it is true that it gives more responsibilities whether in the field or training. I try to take care of everything that everything is positive.

How is the integration of the new generation going?

Great! We have a pretty amazing level of intensity in training, so we really manage to play very beautiful basketball. We try to push ourselves a little, whether it’s hard, either in defense or attack, so things are easier in the match.

The level of intensity in training is at the level we had hoped. It is encouraged because we are at the beginning (preparation). We still have a margin of progress, but from the beginning, even when we were in insep, the level of training and athletic level were quite impressive.

Between the absences of Victor Vembania and Rudi Gobert, it is much for renovation in the racket. What do you think about the internal sector in the current state?

We are already creating a few things, but it is necessarily a small cartridge loss with speed and intensity, but we try to find links between us, whether with posts 4 and posts 5 and even with exterior. We succeed without the ball.

Montenegro, with Nikola Vacevic, it can be a good test for your internal sector …

Of course, each team we play will have quality, either in the inside or outdoor sector. It will be up to us to try to calm their players and imposes our tempo. Especially on the match where we are at home.

“We have a team for, we will try to go to the end”

How do you predict Eurobasket?

Pretty good. We are safe, we know we have a good team. This will be a very raised competition, with teams that return their best players to expect a very high level of Eurobasket. We will need to quickly “match” this intensity and this energy.

We target a gold medal, of course. We do not enter the competition by saying that we want to be the second or third. There will be a long way, it will be ups, socks, we will have to manage emotions and that it is mostly in the group guide the youngest. Anyway, we have a team for, we will try to go to the end.

Little NBA Point to Complete: Why did you decide to sign with Knicks?

It was a choice, I won’t say quickly, but logically, because I find myself in DNA Knicks. Never let go, jump on all the balloons, give everything on the field … It’s all that suits me. The choice of Knicks was simple and logical.
