The attitude was disliked by the coach! Perkins: Never doubted Ayton s talent, but he couldn t deceive Billups

Recently, Perkins talked about Ayton on the Road Trippin program.

He said: "I never took the talent he had for granted. We know he could play and fill the statistics table. The key is: you can't fool the coach who used to be a player. Chauncey Billups is his coach at the Trail Blazers, so his ability is not a false one."

"The coaches don't really use technical statistics to judge whether you have an impact on the game. Chauncey Billups once played with Ben Wallace and won the championship, Ben Wallace is that A kind of player who can do all the details and small things. "

"Can you go forward to defend? Can you get stuck in advance? Will you fight for defense at low posts so that your opponent can't catch the ball easily? And when he receives the ball, will you take the initiative to face it? Aren't you afraid of embarrassment? The embarrassment I mean, even if you may be dunked by your opponent to the top five balls, will you still choose to block it? The coach doesn't care about these nonsense - they just want to know that every time DeAndre Ayton is waiting for you at the basket."
