The part of my game I tried to improve was ...
Nothing specifically. I played the entire summer with the Spanish National Team, so there wasn't a lot of time to work on specific parts of my game.

The most difficult workout was ...
The workouts with the Spanish team. They were similar to NBA workouts. A big difference though is that we do everything together as a team on and off the court. We eat together, hang out together, and even room together too.
