October 7th News Today's Mavericks No. 1 pick Flag was interviewed by the media after the team's training.

Speaking of the tension of entering the NBA, Flag said: "I will be nervous before any game, but it is usually a good thing - making me more excited and more engaged. I always coexist with this emotion. I just need to compete with all my strength, strive to play high-intensity, high-physical confrontation, fast-paced basketball and make the right decisions. In the final analysis, it is to show the highest level of competitiveness."

Speaking of the goals of the new season, Flag said: "I look forward to this journey. Rookie of the Year is one of my goals, but more importantly, keep yourself true to influence the game in many ways."
