Live broadcast, August 4th news recently, Jazz coach Hardy accepted an interview from TA jazz to remember Tony Jones.

When talking about Kessler, Hardy said that he talked with him shortly after the end of the season: “I told him that just because there was a good rookie season, it doesn’t mean you will get better next season. He must make efforts, I told him. Fortunately, Kessler is a perfectionist. He is very strict with himself. Therefore, he is not the kind of person who needs others to tell him how hard to train. I didn’t tell him anything new. I’m just repeating what he knows.”

Hardy also revealed that several times last season, after losing, Kessler would sit in front of his locker, still wearing a sweat-soaked jersey, looking at somewhere in a daze, don’t want to talk to anyone. Once Kessler also deliberately found Hardy and apologized for letting yokki score on his head for several consecutive rounds. To this, Hardy reminded him that yokki was one of the best players in the world for two MVP sessions, no matter how good the person guarding him is, he can score.

Hardy added: “This is one of the most important things for me and Kessler. He must learn how to deal with failure. I think it is very important for young players. It’s like a small failure, such as someone dunking on his head or someone scoring against him. Kessler needs to learn how to deal with these, because he is our important player. He works hard and is a perfectionist. Last season, he has grown and improved in these aspects.”
