Reporter: SGA performed well in the final quarter. Apart from scoring, what is the special thing about his behavior and attitude? Why are you so calm at critical moments?

Caruso: "You can't tell from his performance that this is a preseason or a finals G4 (1-2 behind). This is the reason why our team's mentality is strong and the key to winning in adversity. No matter how the field changes, he is consistent. This calm appearance is a deep-rooted sense of competition, and this trait penetrates the entire team. I often prove that he stood up and even began to look forward to his performance. He never blinked and never escaped critical moments."
