And how you think they'll What kind of difference you think it'll make on the team?

Uh, we're gonna make a difference for sure.

You know, we got some great pickups.

Honestly, I'd be watching song then that I'll know, especially the the ones we drafted.

You know, I don't really know their game.

You know, I've been watching there in the individual workouts, and, you know, but the players to trade for, You know, they're amazing players, amazing defenders, and I think they're gonna help us in a lot of ways.

Okay.

Mark Savina.

I look good to see you.

Hope you're hanging in there.

Um, when the playoffs ended, Rick had said that even with how much you've accomplished your first two years in the league, that he sees you being even better this upcoming season.

I was wondering, How do you view that?

And would have been the things that you're doing toe try to build off of what you've already done.

I mean, I hope so, too.

You know, every year I wanna be better, you know?

That's the goal.

You know, for me, like I always say, you know, I want him in the championship, you know?

And that's the goal we enter last year.

That's what we're gonna enter this year, asshole group.

And, you know, during the this panang all this stuff is gonna be different season.

You know, some players my gay might get Corona get six, not be able to be with the team 10 days.

So I think there's gonna be a big part on which team is not gonna have positive people, and, you know, it is gonna be a lot of time together.

I think that's gonna be a key.

Okay, next up, this Skylar Nixon e either.

Luca, when you look back on it, how valuable was that first playoff experience?

I mean, it was, you know, not great, because we didn't win.

But, you know, it was my first playoff experience, you know, against amazing team.

You know, a team that was going to win a title.

You know, I learned a lot, not just me.

I think the whole group learned a lot.

And, you know, we're just gonna learn from that.

And hopefully we can use it again this year.

And Kato?

Hey, Luca.

We were just talking to Josh Richardson, and he was He was talking about meeting you at 16.

At in Santa Barbara.

I assumed that probably was the P three workouts.

Um, do you remember meeting him then?

And And you know just what?

That what that experience is?

What, like and did you keep up with him in the years?

You know, since then.

Yeah, I remember it was Santa Barbara and I was still playing for Real Madrid.

I was young.

I think I was 16.

You know, we're working out in the morning and Petri, you know, in place and pickups, Uh, in the afternoon on.

You know, since then, you know, way always talk a little bit, you know?

Always we gotta play the FIFA FIFA stuff, but you know, he likes soccer.

I like soccer way.

We're keeping up with each other off since then.

Hey, Hey, Look what parts of your game you mentioned wanting to improve.

But what parts of your game did you focus on these last couple of months?

And what are you going to focus on?

Going forward?

I always say you know, You gotta work on everything you know.

You're never gonna be until you're the best.

It's something you gotta always work on it, you know?

And I I'm just working on everything, you know.

Especially my shooting.

Thank you.

Hey, look, uh, just follow up on that.

Just what about your shooting?

Have you been spending a lot of time with and generally speaking, do you think that the the biggest improvement from for this team will come really from your experiences of last year specifically being able to close out games better?

And you know, the fact that you're able to do a little bit of that in the bubble is is that Ah, sign that.

You believe that?

You know that that problem is pretty much in the review mirror.

First of all, the first question about shooting, you know, just a lot of shooting.

Ah, lot of positions.

You know, I have a position.

Just a lot of shooting in the second one.

You know, Not just me.

I think the whole group Uhh.

Last season, we had a ah, lot of games that we didn't close the way we shoot, you know, we were up like seven minutes ago and way lose it In the end, I think everybody learned from that.

You know, we're a young team, and I think right now, I mean, this season is gonna be way better than last season, so I'm fine.

Hey, look around.

Inclined for maths China with a question from a Chinese fan looking around league and think about your own rookie experience.

Is there anyone in this year's rookie class who you think is especially promising or who you're excited to see develop?

I mean, I'm excited for a lot of people, you know, especially hard to rookies, you know.

First of all, it's gotta be, uh, the book.

Is he having a team?

For sure, You know, I hope.

And I think they're going to do a really good But, you know, there's every year.

There's a couple of players in the draft, you know, they gotta show, show up and do good stuff, you know?

But specifically now.

All right.

Hey, Dana, you'll close us out on English.

Luca, Welcome back.

Thank you.

Before we officially move on to this next season, you've had several weeks now to reflect on last year in one shot that it's still being talked about.

Of course.

Is your game winner in the playoffs?

Um, if you will, Can you take us back through that shot?

What?

You remember about it now?

Um, how you were able to get so open.

Get that look you wanted as it unfolded.

I mean, I remember, you know, just getting to my spot.

You know, I think that is the That's the key in the game winners.

You know, you gotta get Thio to your spot on the shot of confidence and, you know, like a stuck always say, you know, the way that I when I made it, I looked at the bench and everybody was running towards me.

I still remember that if you can just elaborate a little bit more on the emotions you felt as you did see it go in and and the teammates coming out.

I mean, I don't remember the emotions, because after the after that game, I was thinking about how I felt, uh, when I made the shot, I didn't remember.

I was just happy.

So that was it.

Okay.

I'm gonna do you actually one more in English.

Put Christos from Greece.

Spanish.

Hello, Luca.

I would like to ask you how how big challenge for how hungry you feel.

Toe face for compassion.

I'm happy for him to be here.

You know, he deserves it, but I'm going to cheer for him every game.

Just not against us, you know, because he's the pain in the ass in the difference, you know?
