[Comment from head coach Kota Mizuno]
“First of all, I am very happy that we were able to become the club’s first B1 team to win six consecutive games.
With 9 wins and 1 loss in the last 10 games, we are starting to win as a team, and I feel like we are gradually gaining confidence. I think we are growing as a team, being able to play well in close games and being patient.
However, I feel that we still have a lot of room to improve, including in the closing moments of today’s game, whether we can maintain the lead after taking the lead or how we can grasp the flow of the game before it becomes a close game.
(About the club’s record number of visitors)
I think it was a wonderful and encouraging sight to see so many fans gathered at this venue and wearing yellow uniforms. I believe that we were able to win these six consecutive wins together because of everyone’s support, so I believe that this victory was not just for us, but together with the fans.
(What is the impact of Bentil joining this season?)
We reinforced Bentil because he is a player who can play both inside and outside and has experience. He has won many championships with his teams and knows what it takes to win.
I thought he could be a big weapon for the team, especially on the outside. He has had a huge influence, and although he was unable to play due to injury at the beginning of the season, I originally thought he could do this much, so I am glad that he has gradually started to show his true potential since his injury. I think that’s a good thing. ”
[Comment from Ko Flippin]
“Today was a very good match.
We are a team with a lot of talent, so I think I have to find various roles and do what I can, so I think it’s good in the sense that no matter how I am appointed, it will lead to a win. I think so.
As a point guard, I try to encourage everyone to move in the right places so that if they are a shooter, they can score, or if they are a defender, they can defend well.
My goal is still to compete in the championship and become the champion, so I’m going to take it one step at a time. ”
[Comment from Ben Bentil]
“I think it was great that we were able to finish with two consecutive wins before the bye week.
Yesterday I was sent off midway through the match, but today I was really focused on doing what I could to help each player and the team as a whole. I went into the game hoping to do what I couldn’t do yesterday, so I’m glad I was able to help the team.
The championship is our goal, and I think I can tell everyone from my experience that it’s about instilling confidence in everyone on the team and leading the team toward that goal. So I would like to help the team in that aspect as well. ”
