Russell: I ve always been grateful to Wade for his last dance against me against & it s crazy

June 1 News Recently, Nets star Russell visited Yang Kan's podcast to talk about the ball.

When it comes to Wade, Russell recalled, "We were actually very familiar before Wade's last game. We were all All-Stars, and that year I was All-Star, and that was my first All-Star journey. I didn't know where to go, how to take pictures, I didn't know anything. I remember Wade came over and hugged me, and all the cameras drowned us. I caught me off guard and Wade said 'Hey man, you're the best guy now.' I thought no one said that, I mean I'm All-Star now, I just don't know how to accept that identity. Wade was sowing the seeds, and I was grateful to him for doing it. Since then, we developed the relationship and developed to the point where he recognized it. I was different, 'make my own way’, it’s the Wade series slogan, and naturally I was drawn to it, and I’ve always been grateful to him.

"And his last game was against me, which was crazy. He did something special, and I was in full swing at that time. I don't want to steal the limelight, I remember we were having a press conference after the game, I was interviewed on the sidelines, he was interviewed on the other side, and I heard fans shouting ‘Wade Wade’. I greeted Nets fans at that time, but Nets fans could no longer hear what I was saying, and then I stopped talking, and I also shouted 'Wade', that's it. ”
