KG: I ve proved my scoring ability when I went to the Celtics. I want to focus all my energy on defense.

Recently, Celtic legend Garnett participated in the Bucks' official podcast and talked about his role during the Celtic period.

He said: "When I was 21 years old at the Minnesota Timberwolves, I had to have scoring tasks and also assumed defensive responsibilities. So, during training, I will deliberately exercise my ability to take into account both offense and defense. But if I have to make a choice, such as saving some physical strength to ensure that I can complete key defenses, I will know what to do. Later, I also learned how to allocate my physical strength reasonably, so that I can maintain my scoring ability in the fourth quarter and not lose my chain on the defensive end. "

" So after arriving at the Celtics, my mentality changed: scoring is no longer my primary goal, but instead becoming the leader on the defensive end and carrying the team's defensive banner. I really felt that our team's scoring ability was already strong enough - not only the three of us, but also Eddie House, James Percy, and Big Baby can score. There are many role players in the team that have not been mentioned too much, and they can actually contribute to scoring."

"So I set a goal for myself at that time. Now that I am in a new team, my first priority is to set the tone of defense. This is my positioning, I want to be the defensive leader. And when the team needs me to play hard at low posts and take on scoring tasks, I can do it. But my first priority is always defense."

"I expressed this idea clearly when I first communicated with Rivers. I told him at the time, 'I was on the offensive end before It has been proven that the total score of career may end up reaching 25,000 or 27,000 points, but I don't care about that at all. I came here to win two or three championships, and I want to be the core of the team's defensive end. I have another potential on the defensive end, and I don't think you've seen it yet. 'He looked at me with a 'what are you talking about'. I said to him, 'Brother, wait and see, I'll prove it to you. '"
