  Speaker 1: Luca. Of the of the fifteen assists, several of them
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: were either for wide open dunks or wide open layups
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: or completely wide open threes. I know that you're just
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: kind of playing the game, but how cogazant are you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: of trying to make the look that much easier of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: sort of trying to create the space and knowing the
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: percentages of it and how much of it is just
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: natural flow of the game.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a little about you know, like
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you said, reading the game and natural you know, I've
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: been playing against Blitches a long time, so I kind
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of know what to expect. And it's different teams. You know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: some teams the low man is early, sometimes not. Some
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: things give a corner, somethings not so just going through
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: scouting and the scouting and then pick up them.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: These things of the games have obviously been going pretty
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: well at the winstrey continues and the baskets are coming.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: What are the things that you're still looking towards Is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to kind of just even get better, kind of to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: reach the ceiling that you're trying to get to.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Uh lot, I think I got to drive more, you know,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I'm still getting there with him, Uh but at the
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: end of the day, he's about winning games, and we're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: doing that now and we can't relax at all.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Luca, you fed Lebron for the three that allowed him
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to get over fifty thousand points. Have you thought about
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the opportunity here not just to play winning basketball with
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: this team, but to be a part of history, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: certainly Lebron's history as you guys team up together.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's amazing watching him do this stuff
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and they say it's it's just unbelievable, like fifty k points.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: It's I can't even explain how how insane that is,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: saying he might get to Sonic. You never know.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Luca Jiju said that that there's like a non cadence
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: to the way you play right, like with a lot
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: of guys, there's a really quick rhythm, but you're a
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: little less conventional in that way. Have you seen your
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: teammates start to get more comfortable. I saw a big
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: smell on your face in the last game when Vando
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: had like a baseline cut. You found him for a
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: lot today kind of that same look when Trey said
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: gor To had screen for you. Are you starting to
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: see kind of these moments where guys are adjusting to
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: the way that you play.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's getting better and better. You saw
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the Gorta screen. I told him, less game. You know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: if you do that, it's going to be open left
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: for me. So he was unselfish and did that. Also
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: went to talk about cutting the baseline, and it's just
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's about talking about things. You know, what
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: things I like, what things they like, and what's going
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to make easier to win.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: JJ. JJ's talked about it. We've asked you about it.
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: The blackout moments you had, moments where you were skipping
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: after making a few threes early in the first quarter,
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: more joy than the screaming that I guess you used
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: to do. What are those moments like for you? As
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: you know you've told us you're making way back. What
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: are those moments like for you where you were able
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: to get that rhythm, rhythm, you know, get the feel
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: for the game back with these passing game.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's great moments.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I obviously got to work on my celebration because when
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I hate, I don't know what to do. I just
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: started skipping. I don't know, But those those moments, you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: those are the greatest moments I can field in basketball
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: and just you feel good and there's nothing better than.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: That, Luca. You know, Jackson had nineteen points. A lot
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: of them came off lobs from you just kind of
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: what do you make of his play recently, especially with
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: him kind of being a lob threat along that baseline there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good. You see, had the first couple of games.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: You know, we still had to get the field for
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: each other. You know where he's going to be, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: I think that's getting better and he's really good at
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: reading those those situations. You know, if the guy behind
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: me when he says the screen goes over, he sleeps
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: dead and he's fast for a center, so he gets
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the open looks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: Luka, you had seventeen in the first quarter, most you've
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: had this season in the you know, in any quarter.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: But my question is off the court stuff. As you're
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: comfortable with the city, with your home environment, with your
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: calf healing, how does that translate that com ability off
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: the court translate to what you're able to do on
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: the court here with these guys.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean of off off court for me is
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: not as important, but it's close, you know, if things
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: are good off court, then you proceeds to be great
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on court. You don't have things to think about, you know.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I'm just getting to know the city. I gotta say
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: traffic is crazy, but that and that it's it's amazing. Luca.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: What's one thing that you've learned about Lebron since you've
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: joined the team and that you didn't maybe know about him,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: whether it's on or off the court as a.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Teammate of nothing new. Honestly, I knew the way the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: way he works, the way he takes care of his body.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That's why he's playing now at this level. So I
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: don't think nothing new, but just overall being next to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: him and experienced that the situation is is uh, it's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: a learning process for me. Thank you,
