Russell: It s strange in all aspects of the Lakers, the Nets taught me to be a professional player

Recently, Mavericks new player Russell talked about his career in a show, especially comparing the experiences of the Lakers and the Nets, giving completely different insights.

Russell was already well-known in college and showed his outstanding talent and strength. It happened that Magic Johnson was the Lakers' general manager at that time. In addition, Curry was popular in the entire league at that time. Russell, who was also a point guard, also won the special favor of the Lakers. At first, he even designated Russell as the Lakers' successor in the post-Bryant era. Unfortunately, after Russell arrived in the NBA, he was unable to realize his second-tier talent because of his poor physical athletic ability. There are many competitions for young players in the team, and Kobe will choose to retire next year. A series of things make Russell very passive.

was finally packaged and traded to the Nets by the Lakers. Unexpectedly, Russell, who came to the Nets, had a second spring, and even entered the All-Star and playoffs. His average data reached 21+5, which was more dazzling and comfortable than when he was in the Lakers. Russell also talked about this comparison recently. When he was in the Lakers, he always felt strange in all aspects. When he asked for it, he was always careless and no one taught him how to adjust. The Nets have a very professional and mature team that taught Russell how to adjust his sleep, diet and physical recovery.

Russell even said that fortunately the Nets taught him how to adjust, otherwise he would not know how to play. He said that the Nets' system is very rigorous and taught himself how to become a professional NBA basketball player. But Russell's words caused great controversy. After all, he had too much interaction with the Nets and the Lakers throughout his career. He was traded to the Nets after two consecutive times. The Lakers seem to have also made a foul fight with Russell. Whether it was partnering with Kobe during the rookie or partnering with James in the first two seasons, Russell's performance was always high and low, and his overall level was broken, and he could get better if he left the Lakers.

Although Russell was competing against his rookie period, fans believe that he was also secretly sarcastic about his partner with James. After all, Russell is a player who needs to control the ball to maximize his ability. It is really difficult for the Lakers to obtain such rights, and the ups and downs in form can't be more normal.
