Live broadcast, December 4-basketable Nets player Watanabe Xiong Tai recently accepted an interview with famous Michael Scotto and talked about many topics.
This summer, Watanabe Xiong signed an unguaranteed contract worth 1.97 million dollars a year with basketable nets. When asked about his mentality and what he was going to rely on, Watanabe said, “defense, I played well in Toronto before, and for a while I won a lot of playing time because of my defense. But at that time, my attack problem was very big, and my three points would be too unstable. I know very well that if I can be more confident in projection and have a more stable hit rate, I can get more playing time. So, that’s what I’m doing now. I’m shooting well now, but I won’t forget that I got the chance by defense, vitality, passion and professionalism.”
Speaking of the most difficult part of my career so far, Watanabe said, “I have experienced many difficult times. In the past four years, except for a short period of time in Toronto, most of the time I sat on the bench and couldn’t get the chance to play. I have been developing the Alliance for the first two years. I took a two-way contract in the first year of playing for the Raptors, and the contract in the second year was partially guaranteed. This year’s contract is still unguaranteed. Even if I can’t play, I won’t relax all the time, because many people want to enter this league. No matter the 13th, 14th or 15th members of the I am team, I will always actively go to the gym for exercise. When I can’t play, I will stand up and cheer for my teammates. Even if my playing time this year decreases later, I will not change my practice and I will support my teammates. After the competition, I will go to the gym to continue my competition and I will always be ready.”
