Match highlights
HC Kenzo Maeda’s press conference after the game
In the first quarter, we were able to score points while effectively suppressing the opponent’s points, but our poor reading of the game situation and execution skills showed in the second quarter, and we made a series of easy mistakes. It was a development where we started to suffer and were allowed to pick up the pace of the other side.
As a team, we always have a good first quarter, but then we don’t do well after that, and today we committed a simple foul in a foul situation in the second quarter, and when we entered the third quarter, we had trouble with the opponent. It will be difficult for the team to win if we play without understanding our strong points or if we don’t work on those areas thoroughly, so I think it’s a matter of how we can bring out those areas tomorrow.
In order to overcome this losing streak, we will need the energy of the entire team, including an atmosphere and spirit that will not let us get bogged down by mistakes, so we will try again tomorrow.
Comments from Shigehiro Taguchi after the match
Looking back, I feel like we lost in the same way, and personally I feel like we were not mature at all as a team, so it was a very frustrating match.
I think the biggest problem is that the ability of coaches to carry out what is expected of them is too low.
If my own side comes out, the team won’t be able to do what they want to do, and if three people are trying to do something but two people aren’t, we won’t be able to do what we want to do as a team.
It’s great when it’s good, but the problem is that you can’t do it for 40 minutes.
This team can’t become one, we can’t connect the dots. This is everything, and this is our current weakness.
I’ll do my best tomorrow, too.
