00:00A lot of these, you know, teams that we're playing have been practicing either one month or months in advance

00:06and we're like maybe two weeks into it together.

00:11So every game, every film session, we get an opportunity.

00:14We have to try to make the most of it and not take any steps back.

00:17And it doesn't matter, you know, when it comes to how close the game is or not, did we get better.

00:23And I feel like in the first half, we allowed them to get comfortable.

00:27You know, they started hitting the threes.

00:29And then in the second half, we played our style of basketball.

00:32The development of the game is worldwide, and I think South Sudan, one, is very well coached.

00:37Obviously, Royal Ivy over there has, you know, been around our game and been around the NBA for quite a long time.

00:44So he knows the game.

00:45Obviously, Luau Dang is over there as well, so he knows the game.

00:48So, you know, to have that representation and to have that type of leadership over there,

00:52teaching them the right way how to play the game, you know, it definitely is good.

00:58I mean, it's great, actually.
