00:00 All right, questions for Luca, go ahead.
00:03 >> Luca, only one assist for you, obviously, extremely unusual.
00:07 Don't think we've ever seen that before in a game you played a lot of minutes in.
00:11 What were they doing or what were you guys not doing that made
00:16 the distribution part of the game so difficult?
00:19 >> They mostly play one on one.
00:20 They didn't send a lot of help, so that's why.
00:22 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:26 >> Luca, you've obviously been here before, down 01 in a series.
00:30 What do you remember about the first round and the second round?
00:33 What the next day was like for you guys?
00:36 What did it look like?
00:36 What did it feel like?
00:38 >> I don't remember.
00:40 Just, you lose or you win, first to four.
00:43 We gotta focus on the next game.
00:45 >> Does that give you guys confidence, though?
00:47 >> Of course.
00:48 You want me to say we have no confidence?
00:51 >> [LAUGH] >> I just wanna hear you say it.
00:55 It's good for our stories.
00:57 >> Of course.
00:57 >> Luca, obviously Kristaps had a really big first half.
01:04 Just from what you remember playing with him, why was he so impactful out there,
01:09 just taking advantage of pretty much every matchup he had?
01:12 >> Yeah, I mean, he was great for them.
01:14 He was knocking out shots, he was blocking shots.
01:17 So he was really, really huge for them on both ends of the floor.
01:21 >> Tensi right in the front.
01:25 >> What kind of problems does the Celtics five out offense present for
01:32 you guys on defense?
01:34 >> Their spacing is great and they have a lot of shooters.
01:38 So I think we gotta do a better job taking those three away.
01:41 >> Luca, for you guys as a team defensively, what needs to change?
01:48 I mean, you guys have been so good throughout these playoffs.
01:50 What was different tonight?
01:51 What did they do to get you guys off your front foot?
01:55 >> Just like I said right now, we gotta take those threes away.
01:59 And that's what hurts us the most.
02:02 >> And just please say your name and affiliation.
02:07 >> Robert Littell, BSO.
02:12 Luca, you guys did make a bit of a run at the end of the second quarter and
02:16 the beginning of the third quarter.
02:18 What was working for you in that little patch of time that didn't quite carry over
02:23 to the entire game?
02:25 >> Just playing our basketball.
02:26 I think in those moments we were playing our basketball, we were getting stopped.
02:30 We didn't allow them to offensive rebound.
02:33 So we're having fun out there those couple moments and that's we gotta do more.
02:37 >> [FOREIGN]
02:47 >> Hi, Luca.
02:48 Aurelia for the German Basket Magazine.
02:49 You played already a lot of big games in Europe.
02:50 How was it compared to that now, the first finance game for you, game one?
02:51 >> I mean, obviously this is a bigger stage.
02:52 But those games, finals prepare you for this moment.
02:53 So we pass game one, we win the game.
