Today, Lakers player Rui Hachimura accepted an interview with the media after the team training.

Talking about his focus in the offseason, Hachimura said: "The coaching staff particularly emphasized that I need to improve my vocal ability on the court. After all, this is my seventh season. There are many new teammates in the team. They hope that I will lead the team through more verbal communication. Whether they are new teammates who joined in the offseason or Vanderbilt who is recovering from health, they all need to better understand the coach's tactical intentions."

When asked When asked whether he would give advice to rookie players, Hachimura said: "There are indeed young players asking me how to integrate into the team. It is difficult, because they have to squeeze into the already fixed rotation lineup. Some games require you to perform, and some do not, but you must seize every rotation opportunity to stabilize your position. My situation is quite special. I started directly in my rookie season, but according to my observation, newcomers need to gradually establish themselves."
