Danny Abdia after his season-high record against Utah (Wizards official website)
Danny Abdia recorded tonight (Monday to Tuesday) a rather strange game on his 21st birthday: on the one hand career highs in assists (8) and steals (4), and on the other hand 7 points in just 1 of 7 from the field in 121: 124 by Washington About Charlotte.
The Israeli missed his first six shots but had signed an important three in the final quarter and was a full partner in the Wizards' precious victory.
At the opening of the press conference, Abdia admitted: "I look like I celebrated all night yesterday ... I felt like I looked very tired on the pitch. I did not feel so good today, I do not know why. This is not Corona, do not worry. How did I celebrate? I went to a nice restaurant with My immediate family, and no more than that, because of course I had to prepare for the game. "

"I got into a bit of a rusty game," Abdia continued. "I believe in my shooting. With how much I guard and make stops in the defensive part, it doesn't always come easily to me in the offensive part, but for me the most important thing is to be consistent."
On his varied roles, Abdia said: "It's pretty crazy for me to think I'm partly playing as a coordinator and keeping the opposing coordinators. I like helping the team like that, the coaches trust me and they know what I'm capable of. "I can to help the team win. It's not easy at all, but I learn, gain experience and feel it will get better and better over time."
When asked if the increased investment in defense affects him on the offensive side Abdia replied: "I will be honest - I think my fitness is excellent, but it's not easy to chase blocks, keep the best player and then run to attack. In the NBA the style of play is very fast and it's not easy For me, however, I am learning to regulate my energy. "
Kyle Kozma, who was once again the Wizards' man in the clutch and finished with a season-high 36 points, complimented the young Israeli: "I see a lot of myself in him. Someone is talented, but thinks too much. But once his head gets along, everything connects, and it can be It's great because he is able to do a lot of different things on the field. "
