Since the start of the season, Immanuel Quickley Holds two balls at the foot: injuries and its contract. The first explains why he has only played 22 games since last October. The second is not bad news for him – $ 175 million over five years – but he is a shadow in front of his performances. The Toronto player has no choice: he must prove that he deserves this sum.
For the past few weeks, the former New York has been able to chain matches and good performances with 19.9 points, 4.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds on the last nine matches. The last one in Orlando is one of the best in his season, with 24 points.
“It is not a question of feeling good, it is more a question of state of mind, of having the same all the time. Sensations are fine, it comes during a meeting, while the mentality of being constantly aggressive, it remains “,, Does he judge. “I try to have this state of mind because the rest does not depend on me. We put, we miss shoots, but the mentality must remain the same. »»
“Confidence is also a choice, a decision. The state of mind is a choice, a decision ”
In the second half, against the Magic, Immanuel Quickley had a hot stroke between the end of the third and the start of the last quarter. This helps to trust but it should not be the engine of the latter, but the consequence, he explains.
“I disagree”, He replies thus, when asked if successful good deeds increases his confidence. “Confidence is also a choice, a decision. The state of mind is a choice, a decision. So I try not to think like that, because I was like that at the start of the career and I discovered that the great players do not think so. They do not think that good deeds give confidence and that bad not. Confidence is a choice and you have to choose confidence. »»
This good sequence in the second period pleased his coach.
“With each match, every minute, he wins in confidence, in rhythm, in physical condition”, Note Darko Rajakovic. “He missed a lot of time and it's hard to find his pace during the season, but in this moment, in these two quarters, he was our engine. He organized the game, marked, did a lot by being effective. When he plays like that, effectively, it's good for the whole team. »»
