How to help players have fun? Mazzula: This is sometimes evading responsibility and making excuses

Hupu News on November 17: The Celtics defeated the Clippers 121-118.

After the game, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzula was interviewed by the media and talked about related topics.

"How can we encourage players to improve while still allowing players to continue to have fun in the game?" A child asked Joe Mazzula.

"To be honest, I don't know how to answer this question, because everyone's definition of fun is different. I think you have to find fun for the team first." Joe Mazzula said in the interview.

"I think fun is sometimes a way of avoiding responsibility. When things don't go our way, everyone likes to say, 'Okay, let's have fun.' I really don't know what that means."

"I think you have to define what fun is for the team and then try to find the kind of fun you want. But sometimes that's just making excuses."

"So, when you grow up, please don't say this, don't say, 'I just want to have fun.' Because it doesn't make sense at all."

"This is a great question, but I really don't know how to answer it."

In this game, Celtics player Jaylen Brown played 39 minutes and scored 33 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and made 14 of 33 shots.
