Reo is still working hard to modulate his tone as he answers; it's starting to make him sound a bit stiff.

"With all respect, Ms Dresden, every player on the court was doing things most people can't do. We have all worked very hard for years to be able to do those things, and hard work and talent produces results that can look - impossible to those outside the sport."

Ignoring how many of those very players seem to think that the things Reo can do are impossible. Their arguments don't make Reo feel obscurely offended, for reasons he can't quite pinpoint, the way Haley's does.
