Today, Lakers player Hayes was interviewed by the media after the team's training.

Reporter: "I'm curious about the running-in situation between you and Ayton. He mentioned the rotation cooperation between you. What impression do you have of his current performance and contribution?"

Hayes said: "He is a reliable teammate. He always brings a lot of energy and has solid skills. We need to continue to deepen this cooperation now, hoping to establish a tacit understanding."

When asked about the gains of confronting the top inside, Hayes said: "Unless you directly compete in training. A player like Ayton, otherwise it would be difficult to understand this value. When you get stuck with him in the paint area, you will instantly understand what kind of test you face. "

" "Fighting against players of his level, including other teammates, can indeed test your true level and promote growth. You can learn from all types of players and continue to improve through continuous learning. After all, you can only get better by fighting with stronger people and standing with better teammates." Hayes said.
