Pacific Caesar Surabaya assistant coach Andy Prasetyo said that poor defensive strategy was still an obstacle for his team when they lost 88-84 to visiting team Satya Wacana Salatiga in the 2025 IBL Gopay continuation match.
"Indeed, today's match, the homework is still in defense. Maybe from the last game, today we were still not strong enough in defense," said Andy during a press conference after the match at the Pacific Caesar GOR Surabaya, Wednesday night.
He emphasized that the team currently chooses not to set long-term targets too far, but rather to focus on each match that will be faced in the future.
Therefore, he continued, improvements will continue to be focused on the defense side because this aspect is considered to have a major influence on attack performance.
"Defense will help us focus on offense. So we will try to fix defense, hopefully our offense will also be better next time," he said.
