Reporter: You have talked about how to speak out and adapt to Jerin Williams. When did you start to realize that you can become a vocalist for the team?

Caruso: "I think at every stage of my basketball career, I'm adjusting and shaping this ability. In high school, I was the core of the team, which was easy; in the fourth year of college, I was also one of the core players of the team, and it was natural to take on the leadership role. But after entering the professional basketball world, the situation was completely different. I spent many years studying and observing how old players, outstanding players, and even Hall of Fame members and coaches communicated and conveyed information in different ways according to different objects."

"This is due to observing the way of doing things for the seniors, Realizing that communication is a necessary condition for success - you can interpret the game through communication and control the details. As I said to Jellinway, this has gradually become an instinct for me: I long to win, so I will say what I think is important and will be corrected even if it may make mistakes. After observing the practice of great players for a long time, I feel that I should do the same."

In this game, Caruso played 30 minutes, made 7 of 9, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 steals, 1 block, plus or negative value +14.
