- Fujii Shingo ー -

Most famous guard in Japan. Captain of All Japan Team.
Let him talk about his feeling toward Beijing.

(I)
You are about to leave for Canada, Feb 4, 2008. What is the purpose of this trip?

(Fujii;F)
We will practice with All Canada Team in Toronto, Canada along with Illinois University.

We will have a lot of games with them.

I:How are the members of All Japan doing these days?

F:We focus on offense. Until recently, we put priority on defense but now start thinking about other way round-
   good offense brings good rhythm to defense. We are trying to figure out through a lot of trying.

I:I see. Let me hear about your feeling.

F: It is good that we play with foreign players to learn how powerful they are.

  They have longer arms, larger body. It is important to know that when we play in the international field.
  We tend to believe Japanese is a normal style especially while in Japan but we have to take a different approach to compete foreign players.

I:Good luck on Canada trip!

F:Thank you. Please support us!
