The first round of the 2023 playoffs offers some interesting reunions. For example, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, who will face each other for the first time in their career in the playoffs. Or even James Harden who will find the Nets, who left in 2022.
D’Angelo Russell will also have a particular duel for the “play-in” with the Lakers since he will again meet Wolves, the team in which he had started the season before being transferred at the beginning of February.
Will he approach this match with a spirit of revenge? Obviously, no…
“I’m not going to say that the transfer has nothing to do, but above all I want to prevent them from passing, that’s what matters the most”, assures the playmaker to theOCR. “I’m preparing myself mentally because it’s obviously a big game. The play-in is difficult so we will try to win by any means necessary. »
The most important thing for someone who is living his second visit to Los Angeles is therefore to qualify for the first round and to surf on this good dynamic, precisely triggered after his arrival, with the transfers during the “trade deadline”.
“Energy is powerful. And we arrived with good energy. The past is the past. The energy was not there. It’s hard to win games in this league if you’re not at your best. We arrived with this positive energy and we tried to make it contagious for a group which, it was clear, may have been a little traumatized at the start of the season. »
