Kenneth Faried says talk with Brian Shaw “helped 110 percent”It started with his 20-point, 14-rebound outing in a loss at Brooklyn on Tuesday. It peaked with his career night of 26 points and 25 rebounds (12 on the offensive end) in a victory over the Timberwolves on Friday.
No. Wait. Maybe it started last week, when coach Brian Shaw called Nuggets forward Kenneth Faried into his office, a chat the Post’s Christopher Dempsey detailed in his column Dec. 20.
Since their talk, the Manimal has come alive and that guy who had temporarily replaced him the last couple of months vanished.
“After 26 points, I want him to understand that we didn’t call plays for him,” Shaw said after Friday’s game against the Wolves. “He got those 26 points going after offensive rebounds every single time. And probably four times, I would say tongiht, the ball got volleyballed around and it fell right in his hands and he was able to put it right back up and in. But that was just because he put himself in the right place by being in there in the first place. That’s what I want him to take away from that.”Faried seemed to hear loud and clear, and even he admitted the talk went a long way in helping him regain his swagger on the court.
“It helped me. I can’t even lie, it helped 110 percent,” Faried said. “We went to the back and had a conversation. He had some stuff he wanted to say, I had some stuff I wanted to say, and we came to an agreement. Now it helps just ease my mind and I can just go play my game. It is now more just like ‘go play my game and everything else will follow.'”His teammates agreed. Just Kenneth going back to being Kenneth.
“It’s one of the best games I’ve seen him play,” Ty Lawson said.
“… I feel like he’s just playing his game. Instead of taking shots from the perimeter or midrange jumpers, he’s either get a rebound and putting it back in or he’s getting dump-offs. He’s playing like he was toward the end of last year.”[ 此帖被ODIN在2014-12-29 10:23重新編輯 ]
