The coach of the Jubilee Jakarta High School girls' team, Christian Andy Hermawan, said that the 36-32 victory over SMAN 70 Jakarta in the 2025 DBL Jakarta final at the Indonesia Arena in Jakarta on Friday was the result of the players' hard work, discipline, and enthusiasm.
According to him, the burning spirit of Tasya Kusuma Dewi and her friends until the extra round succeeded in breaking the opponent's dominance in the four previous editions of the student basketball tournament.
"We had to fight harder in the game because we had no idea how to play and how to play against them (SMAN 70 Jakarta). So, the important thing is, like last year, we tried to play a tight game every quarter," said Christian.
He realized the final match would not be easy considering the two teams had not met each other for a year.
Christian emphasized that Jubilee's main focus in the final match is to strengthen the defense to avoid the mistakes of last season's final.
He said consistency in maintaining defense was the team's key to finding a rhythm to maximize attacks.
