Even though they came home with an unpleasant result against the Bengawan Solo Knights (KBS), in fact there were still good things that could be taken away. One of them is the equal playing minutes for each local player due to the injury storm that hit Jarred Shaw and Myke Henry.
The impact of their alternate absences in the last two matches was the inclusion of Armando Kaize's name in the line-up and he finally competed for the first time when facing Efri Meldi's men at the Pertamina Arena last Sunday night.
The player from Papua played a total of 4 minutes 36 seconds with 3 rebounds, a score that was not perfect but certainly not bad for a debutant playing in such an important match.
"Even though I lost, for me personally it was proud, wearing the Satria Muda jersey was my dream and it was achieved tonight. "At first I was a little nervous, but after I stepped on the field, that feeling disappeared, all I had to do was play as well as possible and just follow all the tasks that the coach gave me," he said.
When asked if Manuel Pena had any specific tasks for him that night, Armando said that his main task was to secure rebounds both defensively and offensively.
"But I realize that achieving 3 rebounds is not enough, that's why I will continue to work hard to train and train so that if I am trusted to appear again in the future, I will be even better prepared. "And I didn't see the screams from the senior players on the field as insults or anything, but rather as fuel so that I would be even more motivated in the future," continued one of the players who had been selected as a DBL All-star.
Indeed, it is not certain when Jarred Shaw will return to the field, there is an opportunity for Armando to return to the wide open field, but of course this must also be accompanied by high discipline in training, especially to reduce turnovers.
“Obviously that's a big concern for me, but I'm sure I can overcome it. Because to be honest, when I play with the proud blue jersey of Satria Muda, I will be ready to work hard even to the point of death for blue. I'm ready to put it that way. "Because my next dream is to win with this team and I will continue to pursue that until I achieve it," he concluded enthusiastically.
