I don&#8217;t know any other way to play the game, go out on the court and play as hard as possible, do whatever it takes to win. Fighting, scratching, clawing, leaving everything on the floor and ask questions later. This is what I discussed with the Coach on the phone. Come here, play uptempo, run, do everything &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>THE RETURN AFTER THE LONG HIATUS &#8211;<\/strong> \u201cI want to say that I am grateful to those who are helping us to overcome the crisis, but once on the court I will only think about giving everything, leaving on the floor everything I have, playing with a lot of toughness and grit. When you are on the court you don&#8217;t think about anything else, you play as hard as possible and fight for your brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5dn47P58HZs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>THE TEAM &#8211;<\/strong> \u201cThe group of players we have has a lot of dynamism, versatility, we can do many different things on the court, both on offense and defense.
