This is a very good opportunity for Walker, who is about to join Boston, to train and develop a tacit understanding with his future teammates. "We are already friends with many good players, and joining the US team gives me the opportunity to develop a tacit understanding with them first," Walker said. Said, "Being able to train with Jayson and Jaylen first will be a good thing for the next season."
During the training, the young Celtics members have been the first to feel Walker's easy-to-get-together personality. "He often communicates with us and discusses what to do instead of telling us what to do." Tatum said, "We also join in. Went to a lot of dinners and talked about the city, the team culture and the playoff goals, and I'm sure he'll fit in quickly."
Brown also gave Walker a very positive evaluation, "He is easy to talk to, which is a good thing." Brown said, "He is one of the strongest defenders in the league, and I am looking forward to partnering with him in the US team and next season."
Walker signed a four-year, $141 million contract with the Celtics in the offseason., is also the most senior player with the brightest star in the US team, and is naturally considered the ace and leader of the US team and Celtics.
But whether in the American team or the Celtics, when it comes to leaders, Walker keeps saying NO. Walker is not unwilling to lead or shoulder the victory at critical moments, but he hopes to be the team's leader. To achieve the goal as one person, "I don't want to think of myself as the big brother. The goal is the same no matter where I am. I just want to help the team win." Walker said, "I don't have the boss and seniority mentality. I like to communicate and understand more. Do your part.”
