00:00 So good bounce back game for you after you scored 29 points in the opening match.

00:05 What is the biggest challenge for this game?

00:09 Of course, one of the biggest challenge for me is our last game which was 2nd series.

00:16 And it was hard for us to go through that.

00:21 But I'm really happy because almost all of the items were in the line-up.

00:27 We saw the potential of our new players.

00:30 And what we can apply to our next game.

00:34 From this, we will see what we can improve and what are our lapses.

00:39 And we will come back to you.

00:41 What is your mindset on the 5th set?

00:44 My mindset on the 5th set is as an athlete, I need to show them how we should get this set.

00:54 They should not be afraid of me. I need to show them that I trust my team.

00:59 And I will show them that we can do it.

01:01 Because from that, they will follow what I do.

01:04 And it's good that we worked on the 5th set.

01:07 Coach, can you talk about Bella's maturity growth?

01:12 I always say this, this team is still in high school.

01:18 When I joined Enium, they were so busy.

01:24 They were admired in Enium's program because they produced.

01:29 So for me, when I talk to Bell, I tell her that she should not be disappointed.

01:35 Because she is the one who is going to the top. Everybody is looking up to her.

01:39 So I know that there is pressure on her.

01:41 But since she is mature, she can handle it.

01:43 And that's it. I'm proud of her.

01:47 Even if she is like that.

01:49 She is not angry.

01:51 Even if she is like that, she will be crazy.

01:56 For me, we really need to assess our team and ourselves.

02:03 What are our lapses and what should we work on.

02:07 Because that season, she will not be in a hurry.

02:10 All teams want to win, all teams want to be champions.

02:13 Our goal is that she will not be in a hurry.

02:16 So if we want, we need to work on it.

02:18 I'm going to go and play a game.

02:19 I'm going to play a game.

02:20 I'm going to play a game.
