#81 Kohei Sekino Comment
“Hello!
I’m Sekino, I’m back in Hokkaido after 5 seasons.
I am happy to be able to come back to my hometown Hokkaido and play in Hokkaido’s comfortable climate and environment.
I would like to pass on what I have learned at Sunrockers Shibuya and my skills to my juniors, and I would like to contribute to the team by putting it all out in my playing.
I will do my best again in Hokkaido from this season. thank you. “
■You said that defense is your specialty, but what kind of play do you want to aim for?
When I was enrolled in SR Shibuya, I was the first to take the lead, protecting the opponent’s guard and setting the defense’s tone.
As for my role in Hokkaido, the team is about to start soon, so I would like to clarify it while communicating with the coaches in the future, and I would like to play in a way that shows my back at the front. increase.
■ How about offense?
Of course, I want to decide on the 3pt, but I have always thought that my strengths are driving and attacking, so I want to contribute to the team in that respect as well.
■ Do you feel that you have grown during the four years you were at SR Shibuya?
The first is the human part. I think I’ve grown up.
Also, in terms of play, defense was the main role at SR Shibuya, so I think that aspect of the game has grown a lot.
(Complementary comment from CEO Yokota)
“When I was enrolled in SR Shibuya, I saw how he behaved on the bench when he wasn’t in a match, and when he was the first to call out to his teammates during timeouts. I am a mid-level player and I will be the one who will lead the team!” He said so strongly, so I feel that I have grown not only in terms of my play but also in terms of my personality, and I have high expectations. 』
■ What was the decisive factor in returning to Levanga Hokkaido?
I myself have a very strong love for Hokkaido, so that was the biggest decisive factor.
I’ve always thought that it would be nice if I could show myself in front of Booster in Hokkaido someday, so after thinking about the offer this time, I decided to come back.
About Sakurai’s last season
I myself am glad that I was able to enroll in the final season of the big star Ryota (Sakurai).
I’ve been indebted to him a lot both in basketball and outside of basketball, so I think it would be great if Ryota-san could conclude in a way that satisfies him both as a team and as an individual.
■What is the reason for the jersey number 81?
Because I was born on August 1st.
About playing in a team with Terazono, a fellow student of Tokai University
Since I already know the players, it is easy to communicate with them.
He brings the team together and pulls it together, so I’m glad he’s on the team.
However, I want everyone, not just Terazono, to demonstrate leadership, so I want to create an environment where everyone can easily talk while communicating with players of various generations and staff from the standpoint of mid-career. is.
■ A word to the boosters
I’m sure there are some boosters who don’t know about me, but I’m a native of Hokkaido and I’ll do my best.
Comment from Yo Yokota, CEO of Levanga Hokkaido Co., Ltd.
We are pleased to announce that Levanga Hokkaido has signed a contract with Gohei Sekino for the B.LEAGUE 2023-24 SEASON.
Sekino joined Levanga Hokkaido as a special designated player in his fourth year of university and played for Levanga Hokkaido for three seasons.
He has been a well-established player in defense since that time, and although there were various difficult situations such as the remaining playoffs during his tenure, he is one of the players who contributed to the victory with his characteristic defense.
After that, he moved to Sunrockers Shibuya, where he played an active role as a starting 5 in a club with a high record of winning the Emperor’s Cup and stably participating in the CS.
I am very happy to have had the opportunity to meet with you again this time and to have returned to Hokkaido.
Unlike when he was in Hokkaido before, Sekino, who has built up his career and has become a mid-level player, is expected to not only perform well this season, but also demonstrate his presence as a leader who will lead the team. increase.
