Jordan Poole is one of the "star players" of the Washington Wizards, and in the 2023 offseason, he was traded to the Wizards by the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Chris Paul, who is about to turn 38. After entering the Wizards, Jordan Poole did not play the performance he expected, which also made him receive a lot of criticism online.
In the face of criticism and crazy ridicule from the outside world, Jordan Poole was also very helpless, after all, he was not angry and failed to play a stable and efficient performance. In a recent interview, Jordan Poole said he was a bit old-fashioned, unlike his contemporaries.
Jordan Poole said, "I'm more of an old soul if that makes sense. Therefore, the new generation wants to post everything, show them in the gym, show them shooting on the court after the game. It's about opinions, it's about clickbait, it's about making fun of people online. That's what's hot, that's what's new, that's what's trending right now. ”
It's true that modern fans like to taunt some people through everything, and then get a lot of attention and clicks, like analysts like Stephen A. Smith and Bayless. If they don't mention LeBron James, there won't be any fans paying attention to them at all, after all, LeBron James is a hot spot and a traffic.
Jordan Poole continued, "I was never that kind of person, always humble, always humble, and God-fearing. So I just come in, I put my work in, great teammates, try to help my teammates get better and just be a good person. ”
Jordan Poole said he was never the kind of person who would get involved, and he was very humble. This made the fans ** confused, is Jordan Poole "modest"? At the beginning, he ignored the manager's tactical arrangement in the game and boasted to his teammates that this was his own team. Does he have an effort to help his teammates become better? Maybe it's because he's played so poorly that his teammates have to step up and get better in order to lead Jordan Poole.
"So, at the end of the day, my talent will show, hard work always pays off, and I just want to be a good role model for those who are going through tough times," Jordan Poole said
"Everyone goes through tough times, but it makes us stronger, we grow from it, we learn from it. Honestly, we'll look back at it later and laugh it off. ”
I have to say that these questions raised by Jordan Poole are all very good. After all, as the league's most teased player online lately, he's inspired. After playing well with the Golden State Warriors, he vowed to start the position.
As a result, after the Wizards got a lot of ball possession and tactical position, he didn't play as expected. It was also the reason that he was relegated to the bench by the team, and the 24-year-old Jordan Poole, hoping to be a good role model for others who are going through tough times. The point is that he can play well and lead the Wizards to a better record.
On a rebuilding team like the Wizards, many players are able to play like stars. However, Jordan Poole was able to play a disaster star performance. Jordan Poole has been with the Washington Wizards so far, averaging 16 per game3 points, 25 rebounds, 37 assists and 11 steal. The shooting percentage was just 401% and 31 percent from three-point range0%。
He often contributes to the famous scenes of five embarrassments in competitions. This also caused the Wizards to lose faith in him and demote him to the bench. Jordan Poole wasn't happy with sitting on the cold bench, and the team claimed the move was to give Jordan Poole more opportunities to act as a ball handler and decision-maker.
However, after entering the bench, Jordan Poole's performance was indeed much better. Since Jordan Poole came off the bench, he's averaged 22 per game off the bench0 points, and unfortunately, he shot just 409%。
