• 0:59
  Speaker 3: it's one game at a time, one opponent at a time,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and so that was the mentality.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, just talk to me about your shot selection had
• 1:08
  Speaker 5: in that last game. I mean, fifteen shots in a
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: one more game is hefty. So what was going through
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: your head? Taking threees? Taking two is getting on the rim?
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I took a little too many threes early.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I could have gotten into the paint a little bit
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: more just that second. I mean, I'm not going back
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: out there and playing, but you know, just think about
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: it now.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I'm just like, why did I shoot that three?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Sometimes but in the moment, like it's a heat of battle,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: we're both kind of tired, and we work on shots
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: like that all the time, and so some of them
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: didn't fall her away and some of them didn't fall
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: mind So just tried to hustle as much as possible
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and get clean looks.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Chelsea.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: First off, congratulations, And I just have one question about
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: when you guys started to get really tired, did you
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: kind of adjust your mindset and like how you were
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: trying to score?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What was one to your mind? Man?
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Last time, it just depended on if I was going
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: on offense orf I was going on defense. Defensively, I
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: just wanted to make her stuff tough. Every single shot tough,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: whether it was in the lane or it was the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: three she gets into a rhythm three point wise, So
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I wanted to make those looks difficult.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Offensively, I just needed to use a lot more legs.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: I wanted a lot more of my stamina and my
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: pressure to be on the defensive end.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So offensively you live with the results because you do.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Those shots all the same all the time, and so
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I wanted more pressure, and I wanted more time defensively
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: and put more pressure there.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: Nice What was the hardest part of trying to defend Alisha?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: That namic score.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: She's strong, she has length, She's able to get her
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: shot off in a multitude of ways, and so just
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: being able to make the looks difficult. It's easier said
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: than done. So some of them just didn't drop her weight.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: There were great moves.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I just tried to contest as much as possible and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: live with the result.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: So il see that last game when almost eight minutes,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: seven minutes and fifty one seconds.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: What hurts more? You're left? I thinks are your lungs
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: at that point.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: A little bit, I don't even know. It's probably probably
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: my legs. Honestly, at some point I was just like, oh,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I got to push off a little bit, and then
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: some points I was going back up and I was
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: like trying to catch my breath. Those timeouts, man, it's
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: only thirty seconds, and so they go quit.
