“They have the advantage of an athletic and strong posture. For me, there are no tough matches but just challenges,” Prastawa was quoted as saying on Perbasi’s official website.
“So, I’m very optimistic that we can win, especially since we’ve been together for more than two years and of course we understand each other. The key is, against them, you shouldn’t lose your focus at all during the match,” he added.
Meanwhile, the shooting guard for the Red and White team, Abraham Damar Grahita, realized that the two matches would not be easy. The reason is, the current condition of the national team players is different due to the number of players infected with COVID-19 in the IBL 2022 series 2.
