Live Bar, September 30-basketable nets new season training camp continues today. Owen was interviewed after the training and talked about Ben Simmons.
Speaking of Simmons’s ability, Owen praised: “He has extremely high talent, football quotient and vitality, and everything is possible for him. He already has this ability, so we need to give him time now to let him know that he can play and be himself. We hope that he can exert his greatest potential and finish what he has failed to do in the past few years.”
Speaking of Simmons’s current mental state, Owen said, “mental state means everything. Of course, playing basketball is just a job. We just like basketball games. Everyone may encounter some spiritual depression. I don’t want to criticize this and should deal with it with a serious attitude. However, if you want to build trust and friendship in the team, you must be able to survive some uncomfortable moments. You must find a balance in psychology, spirit and emotion and actively deal with it. For psychological problems, I certainly have the most direct first-hand experience, and I really don’t want mental health problems to become a common trouble for players.”
Speaking of the team’s support for Benxi, Owen said: “We all support Benxi very much. We have experienced some problems of our own, so we can all understand him. People want him to enjoy the game instead of feeling forced to do something.”
