00:00 Right now, if I may say about Kai, he is going to absolutely dominate Asia.
00:06 I've always felt that. If you get him in the right spots, he can absolutely dominate Asia.
00:11 For him, the next spot is to get up to the European level and the NBA level.
00:16 And we're hoping that we can help him get into that level.
00:21 I think confidence comes from preparation, and I think we prepared really well.
00:26 When we got to Inspire, we went to training camp. We trained twice a day.
00:32 It was tough. It was tiring, but we learned so much.
00:36 As Coach said, it showed today.
00:40 If you're asking about confidence, it's just I'm very confident that we all worked together.
00:47 We all got better together, and I got my brothers behind me to lift me up.
00:54 I'm going to do the same thing to them.
00:58 It's contagious. It's good. It's a good team environment, and I'm happy with the result.
