Live Bar, October 1st News Lone Ranger Coach Kidd was interviewed by the media during the team training camp this week. He talked about Ding Weidi and thought that the latter could form a good partner with Dong Qiqi.
Due to the departure of Brunson, Ding Weidi is expected to be promoted to the first start in the new season. He has started 23 times last season. In this regard, Kidd said: “Ding Weidi only needs to do Ding Weidi. We don’t need him to do anything other than his personal ability, as I told him when he first joined the team, ‘I need you to do dingweidi. ‘”
“Ding Weidi will start with Dong Qiqi now. Some people may think it will be different roles, but in fact, he sometimes played with Dong Qiqi last season.” Kidd continued, “when there is such a player around you that will attract a lot of attention from your opponents, your game will be easier. In addition, I think Ding Weidi can also create opportunities for other teammates.”
In addition, Kidd said that he was very satisfied with the team’s staffing, and he had multiple choices to fill the vacancy left by Brunson’s departure: “It is obviously good to have such luxury, what we are talking about is that the fire power of the original bench has now been adjusted to the starting line-up, which will take some time to adjust. Ding Weidi looks very good. He is in good condition. He and Dong Qiqi are doing very well together.”
