DNP 

• Can we have your thoughts on today's game?

(Carl Tamayo: CT) I think the team played really well. Deeper composure, the game plan that coach and I told us my teammates did well. They were focusing on the game plan defense, especially on transition defense. I think the key of the win and then we had good ball movement that ended up to good shots, and make those shots. We had a really great game today.

• How would you describe your role in the team?

(CT) I just came here. I understand Coach Dai. You need to gain his trust to be able to play in the court. I'll just keep working hard, so I'll be prepared any time if coach that needs me. I'm just happy to win the game.

• What did you think of Kai Sotto's debut?

(CT) I know he's a very talented player. I know his capability. I'm very proud of it. I know he really worked hard to be able to play like that now. I'm very proud of Kai and hopefully he'll be doing great the rest of the season.

• Did you notice any differences between the EASL games and the B.LEAGUE game?

(CT) B.LEAGUE has great imports and then they're really good players. I haven't had the chance to play my first B.LEAGUE debut, but just part of it, part of the process. I just keep working hard.

• What did you think of the atmosphere in the Okinawa Arena?

(CT) I'm very happy. I feel the energy in the arena. The fans really give a boost for my teammates to work hard and to get the win.

• Any comments for next game?

(CT) Please keep supporting KINGS. Especially we have a championship game. We need your support, guys. See you guys there.
