# 66 Hiroshi Matsushita Comment

“Nice to meet you. I’m Hiroshi Matsushita from Hakuoh University.
I am very happy to be able to work as a specially designated player in Levanga Hokkaido this season.
I would like to do my best even on the professional stage by fully demonstrating my tenacious defense and aggressive stance toward the goal.
I will do my best to contribute to the victory of the Levanga Hokkaido team, so please support me.

(What I want to learn from Sako HC, a PG called “Mr. Basketball”, I’m looking forward to it)
I don’t have the great experience and achievements of Mr. Sako, so I would like to learn a lot about basketball as well as playing as a PG so that I can make use of it in my own play.

(What are your impressions of the same PG, Captain Ryoma Hashimoto and Deputy Captain Shuto Terazono of Levanga Hokkaido?)
Terazono is a small player who scores points with middle shots, floaters, and a variety of dribble work, and has the impression that he is a hustle player even in defense.
Hashimoto is a very energetic player, he does not cut corners at all and sticks his body with all his strength and plays tenaciously, and the offense is a player who is good at 3-point shooting with a high probability and has a captain. I feel it.
I’m in the same position as the two, but I’m not the type of captain I’m not good at yet, and I’m not good at making games, so I’d like to learn from them and use them in my future play to grow. ..

(Please tell me if there is a B-League player you want to match up with.)
I would like to match up with Yuma Fujii of Kawasaki Brave Thunders.
I have the impression that he is a hustle player with scoring ability, so I hope he can experience and learn on the court.

(Reason for choosing uniform number 66)
I like that the same numbers are lined up, and Hakuoh University also gave this number, and I wanted to give it 66 as it is on the professional stage. I think it’s a lucky number.

(What I’m looking forward to in Hokkaido other than basketball)
I heard that the rice is delicious, and I love salmon roe among the seafood, so I asked him to take me immediately. It was delicious.

(Decisive factor for joining Levanga Hokkaido)
I decided to join the team because I wanted to grow as a guard in an environment where there was Sako HC who was a wonderful player who played as a PG, and Ryoma Hashimoto and Shuto Terazono.

(What is the name you would like Hokkaido fans and boosters to call?)
They were called “Yuta” or “Matsu”, but Hashimoto called them “Ma-chan”, so I’d be happy if everyone could call them “Ma-chan” as well. “

Takahiko Kiyonaga GM Comment

“This time, Hiroshi Matsushita will join as a specially designated player for the 2021-22 season.
What I expect from Matsushita is that he has a great sense of smell in both offense and defense, as well as his strong points, consciousness related to rebound, and strength in offense.

It’s been a while since I joined, but I’m telling Matsushita that I want him to learn a lot while making a firm self-assertion without hesitation.
I hope that you will be able to connect that learning to growth and contribute to the club with your own attitude and success.
Thank you to everyone, Matsushita. ”
