Post-Match Comments
Head Coach Atsushi Ohno
Q: There were some tough periods today, but how do you feel looking back on it?
A: I feel that there are players who are playing at a good level and players who are not able to keep up, and the gap is widening.
We will continue to challenge ourselves tomorrow so that we can become a team with no such differences.
#5 Sota Oura
We let the opponents control the pace in the early stages of the game, and instead of doing what we needed to do, we let them play how they wanted.
In tomorrow’s match, I will do my best to play with high intensity right from the start.
Q: Please give a message to all the boosters.
A: Many people came all the way to Tokushima, which has been a great help to us.
We will come together as a team and show everyone Phoenix-like basketball so that they will be glad they came to support us.
