00:00Yeah, so we praise the word for that, for sustaining our energy the last two weeks.
00:06This was our fifth game, basically, in the last two weeks.
00:11And what you liked about the game earlier is, since it's happening to Coach Kod,
00:17especially for the players who came off the bench, the excitement was there to play.
00:23You know, as a basketball player, especially if you're the 9th, 10th, all the way down to the 16th or
00:3117th run.
00:33Along the season, you'll get excited if you're not getting the minutes inside.
00:39So Coach Kod was just proud of them. Everybody came to play.
00:42I think this was the first game wherein all 16 players played.
00:50So, everybody was not only excited, but able to sustain your energy and intensity,
00:56especially in the second half, when we were in the first game.
01:00I stayed ready now, because I was always looking for Coach Kod.
01:04I was ready. I was ready to play.
01:09I was just ready to play.
01:11I was just ready to play.
01:11But now, there's a chance to perform.
01:14I'll show you how to play.
01:17Yeah, just like Coach said, everyone came off the bench ready to play today.
01:21I think we knew going into this game that UE's been kind of, even though they haven't been winning,
01:26they've definitely been playing better as a team.
01:28And that last game, that went to overtime.
01:30So we knew that they really are fighting for a win.
01:33And everyone came with the mindset today that it's not going to be us, right?
01:36We're all going to fight.
01:38The first guy is the last guy.
01:39Everyone's going to be ready.
01:41And everyone proved it today.
01:42Everyone was able to get in the score.
01:44So, we knew that as long as we start strong, stick with the game plan,
01:48what the Coach has said, the system, everything will work out.
01:52Thank you so much, Daniel.
01:53Thank you so much.
