Tyronn Lue constantly emphasizes defense.

On the knight side.

Zhao Chen went over and patted Booker on the shoulder to encourage him a little.
Booker's explosive power is not outstanding. He is not the type to play based on athletic ability. His outstanding basketball IQ and agile running without the ball are his labels.
