Interview with Wiggins coming soon! Why is Brother Zui so attractive?
On August 21, Beijing time, the Warriors officially updated social media and posted a photo of Wiggins and the hedgehog interacting, and the mouth brother in the photo carefully held the hedgehog and showed his signature smile. In the previous China trip, Wiggins was in the same frame as his comic meme, and his smile also warmed many people. Brother Zui, why is it so attractive? In a recent interview with Tencent, Wiggins talked about the Warriors and was confident about Canada's championship prospects.
The Warriors are warm like home
Last October, Wiggins agreed to sign the Warriors to a four-year, $109 million early contract extension. In the 2019-20 season, Wiggins was traded by the Timberwolves to the Warriors, and was an important contributor to the Warriors' eventual lifting of the 2022 championship trophy. Last season, Wiggins averaged 17.1 points, 5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, which remains a key puzzle piece for the Warriors.
Talking about why he renewed his contract with the Warriors, Wiggins said: "I love playing at the Warriors, and the Warriors have some of the best fans in the world, and my teammates are all future Hall of Famers, the coaching staff is great, the Warriors are a team that really plays basketball, we fight for each other, and that's where I really want to play and where I can really win." ”
He calls himself part of the Warriors family and makes it clear, "Everyone [on the team] makes me feel like the Warriors feel like home." He has confidence in the future of the Warriors and believes that we can unlock new achievements together.
The biggest change for the Warriors compared to last season is the addition of Paul. Wiggins believes this will make the future of the Warriors better. "Paul is a historic point guard, one of the best point guards in basketball, and I'm excited about him on board."
Convinced that Canada can win the championship
Wiggins did not represent Canada at this year's Basketball World Cup. According to previous reports, the Canadian national team requires selected players to make a commitment to play for three years, which is why Wiggins was not selected.
"They want a long-term commitment," Wiggins explained earlier. "Right now, [my priority] is the Golden State Warriors. I have children. I have family. I have a life outside of basketball. I will not give a three-year commitment. However, Wiggins said he would be happy to play for the national team if Canada could play in the Olympics.
Although he did not participate in the World Cup and a fierce player like Jamal Murray was absent, Wiggins still has confidence in the Canadian national team. Commenting on the World Cup prospects for the Canadian national team, Wiggins said: "I'm pretty sure they're going to win the title, there are so many talented players in the squad, the coaching staff is great, and I think they're the best of the whole World Cup players. ”
In this World Cup, the Canadian men's basketball team was drawn in Group H, along with France, Latvia and Lebanon. In the warm-up matches before the World Cup, Canada won 3 and lost 2, of which they won 1 against Germany, and won Spain and New Zealand and lost to Dominica.
On August 22, the feature film of the exclusive interview with Wiggins will be launched on Tencent, let's look forward to what Brother Zui has to say.
