How to succeed as a small guard? Irving: Be sure to polish your skills; you must use your brain

July 6th News Recently, Mavericks star Irving answered some questions from netizens during the live broadcast.

When asked how to succeed as a small guard, Irving said, "I am the president of the short guard league. Although I am 6-foot-2 (about 1.88 meters), I still regard myself as a small guard. The defenders in the league are very tall now, basically 6-4, 6-5, 6-6 or even taller. So, as a small guard, be sure to focus on practicing your skills and improve your defensive ability."

Then Irving said, "When I say practicing skills, you need to really take the time to understand what your body can do. As a small man playing in the NBA, you have to figure out: when you face those seven-foot-long people. When it comes to how to take action and create space. This is the problem you have to solve. So, as a small guard, please carefully polish your skills. Fight against players who are faster, stronger and better than you. You have to fight against those who are stronger than you, or you want to surpass, and treat them as a healthy motivation. "

" Personally, I have indeed looked up to many different players, but I always want to be a unique version of myself. What you see is what I present. So, as a small guard, you must use your brain and make sure you are the first person to go to the arena and the last person to leave, and do all the small things well."
