◾️Comment
Kenjiro Maeda Head Coach
“It was the first game of the new year, and it was a precious time for everyone to be able to live a normal life and play basketball despite the difficult circumstances in Japan, and I would like to thank everyone for their support. We weren’t able to deliver victory. Today as well, I’m very sorry and disappointed that we haven’t been able to deliver victory in front of our home fans for the past month or so. The 30 minutes were amazing. We were able to develop the basket and take control of the pace, but we lost (pace) in the final 10 minutes, which I think led to the loss. Tomorrow, we will work as a team again. I will do my best to prepare and deliver victory to everyone.”
Masaya Karimata
“I think we played a good game for 30 minutes, but we were beaten with 10 minutes left, so I’m very disappointed.We prepared well and played well for 30 minutes, but I think it was a wasteful loss.”
