Lakers inside star: We have a higher thirst for the championship, we need to develop the habit of the championship

The Los Angeles Lakers conducted daily training during training camp. After the training, Christian Koloko, the team's two-way contract inside player, was interviewed by the media, and he also talked about the team's relevant situation in the interview.

Koloko said: You can feel that everyone on the team is more hungry than before for victory. Because we all think that our performance last season was not ideal, we could have been able to do better. We want to become a better team because we want to win the championship, which is our ultimate goal. Each of us knows very well how to improve our performance to the next level. Kroko continued: Head coach JJ Redick stressed to us every day that we should keep our form, communicate on and off the court, and cultivate the championship game habits, and each of us realizes the importance of this. I'm very excited about the arrival of the new season and I'm sure we will play a great season. From my own perspective, I have gradually become familiar with the team's system and playing style, and I have the ability to perform at a higher level and provide more support to the team.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kroko played 37 times for the Lakers in 82 games, averaging 9.2 minutes per game, averaging 2.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 60.6% and a free throw percentage of 71.4%. In the NBA Development League last season, Kroko played 12 times for the Lakers' subordinate team, Nanwan Lakers, with averaging 29.6 minutes per game, with averaging 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 3.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 3.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 54.5%, his three-point shooting percentage was 17.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 73.3%. In the previous NBA summer league, Kroko played 5 times for the Lakers, averaging 17.5 minutes per game, averaging 7.2 points, 4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 2.6 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 57.7%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 55.6%.

This summer, Kroko renewed a two-way contract with the Lakers and was able to continue to play for the team. Considering that the new season is Kloko's second season with the Lakers, and the Lakers are not so rich in manpower in the interior, he actually has the opportunity to win more opportunities for performance through his own efforts. Lakers' substitute center Jaxson Hayes is a player with a very single function, and it seems that Kroko has a pretty good physical talent, and he is also capable of playing a significant role in both offense and defense. I don’t know if Koloko can perform well in the new season.
