press conference comment

◎Hiroshima Dragonflies
■ Kyle Milling HC
“It was a disappointing ending, but I’m proud of all the players. I think it was a fun match to watch. I think it’s really wonderful that the strong Chiba J.

■ Ryo Terashima
“Since it was the 3rd game, Chiba J has played a very strong defense. It looked like they were going to be able to catch the flow, but even if they managed to get to a one-point difference, they didn’t have a chance and couldn’t catch the flow, so they lost. No matter how many times we lost, there were still things we weren’t good at, but we all worked together without looking away.As a result, we lost to the powerhouse Chiba J., but we were able to hang on.”

■ Naoto Tsuji
“It’s a really disappointing result. We were able to fight to the very end as a team, and I’m proud of this team who fought for 40 minutes. It’s the best team. I think”
