Evans –
Q. What is your impression of the city of Hiroshima?
I think it’s a very nice city, and the people involved are very nice to me.
I am really glad that I came here.
Hiroshima is a really nice town!*The parts in orange letters were answered in Japanese.
What is Evans’ weapon that is essential for the further evolution of Dragonflies?
Evans –
I’m the type of player who can do anything, so it’s hard to pick one as my weapon, but I like smart basketball. I want you to read the situation carefully, make the right decisions and play.
Evans’ “winning habit” that creates accurate play in various situations. “teeth! ?
Evans –
Every time I arrive at the venue, I think that what I do is prepare while listening to music, and of course eat a good breakfast and meditate.
Q. What does meditation feel like?
Evans –
It’s a simple 5-10 minute practice where you breathe, close your eyes, and focus on where you are right now. After all, when it comes to a match, I get emotional and rushed, so I make time to think about myself.
Evans is expected to play to win.
He seems to be enjoying the city of Hiroshima too…
