[Comment] Masato Fukushima HC It was a very tough game, with both teams holding back for long periods of time. In contrast to the quick scoring, the game saw both teams grinding away at possession, and it was a clash of determination. In a sense, I think it was a good game. On the offensive side, there were times when we could have taken higher quality shots if we had made better decisions. As the number of penalty goal attempts (1 out of 13) shows, it was a physically demanding game, but there is room for improvement. On the other hand, we saw progress in reducing the number of turnovers and surpassing Shinshu in offensive rebounds. Compared to past games, I feel we’ve made steady progress as a team. However, it will take some time for everything to come together. We want to continue to improve in the areas we’ve made and work to maintain our offensive rhythm for longer. We have tough games coming up, including our next match against Kobe, but even with a limited roster, we’ll show our determination at home and prepare to win. Sun Suyao It was a close game with a low score, but I’m happy that my teammates and I fought to the end and won. Shinshu is a very strong team, even in B2, so it was a great achievement to be able to beat them. Today, I was able to make two 3-point shots and a jump shot. I believe this is the result of practicing diligently every day, and my teammates and coaches understand that I work harder than anyone else. My condition affected my performance, but I’m really happy to be back on the court and that my team and coaches trust me. Tomorrow’s game will be tough, but since it’s a home game, we can’t make any excuses. Our fans are giving us such strong support, so we’ll turn that cheering into strength and give it our all to surpass Shinshu. [Highlights] https://img.youtube.com/vi/WcT8Ajfu7yk/sddefault.jpg
