00:00It's time for the last part of the Strong Group Athletics
00:04that was led by former NBA star Demarcus Cousins
00:07before competing in Dubai International Basketball Tournament
00:10from January 24 to February 2.
00:13In the group's training,
00:1513 players were able to compete in the competition
00:19which was believed by their head coach Charles Chiu
00:22that their plan to increase their runner-up finish
00:27in the so-called competition last year.
00:30In the training sessions of the group earlier this morning
00:33in Mandaluyong City, Chiu also shared
00:35that Cousins helped a lot in the group
00:39with their foreign coach Zoran Martic.
00:42Meanwhile, the Strong Group will continue
00:45their daily intensive training
00:47before flying to Dubai on the upcoming Thursday morning.
00:52Well, they actually had a very intense practice
00:56a few days ago, you know, they were going at it
00:58which I like, you know, Ange isn't backing down either
01:00but he's been teaching Ange some little things
01:03defensively also, offensively.
01:05They like to talk a lot, they like to trash talk
01:07but it's part of the game
01:08so it's nice to have a practice like that that's competitive.
01:11Demarcus is very intense and he wants to win
01:13and he's outspoken but I think it's good for the team.
