<Kyle Milling HC Post-match comment>
First, I would like to appreciate Ryukyu. We were able to play a great game with the fans and all the team staff. I think Ryukyu, the fans, the team staff, and all of us area really great team. I believed that the team spirit and spirit of the team is our greatest strength. Three years ago, when I took over, HIROSHIMA DRAGON FLIEs were a lower-ranked team, but everyone, including the coaching staff, believed in us and I believe we have come this far. I really respect their efforts.
[NISSAY Championship Most Valuable Player (MVP) Yamazaki, post-match comment]
I can only say one word: "Great". I am a shooter and I catch and shoot most of the time, so I can only be grateful to my teammates who pass and screen me. It's been a long season and there were a lot of games where I let the fans down at first, but at the end I was able to see the best scenery with them, and I'm glad that I kept doing it.
[Comment from player Nakamura after the game.]
It's great. I really enjoyed playing in the finals with my teammates and all the boosters. I wanted to fight with Asa (Asayama) until the end, and above all, I had strong feelings for Ryo (Terashima), so there were times when I was worried, but thanks to my teammates, I was able to play with confidence. I am happy that I was able to play on this stage until the end.
