Bogor Hornbills player David Nuban claims his team has the same cohesiveness and quality, even more solid than Pelita Jaya Jakarta, to compete in the first match of the 2026 IBL final, at GMSB.
According to him, all Hornbills players have prepared themselves optimally to face the opening match of the final which is in a best-of-five format .
"Of course, their foreign players aren't better than ours, so the team believes in its own abilities and will strive to demonstrate that on the field," Nuban said after training at GMSB.
He explained that the team's main focus was to play a disciplined defense to quell the strength of Pelita Jaya's key players.
He explained that the defense is the most important aspect in facing the squad coached by David Singleton, because it has many experienced players and individual qualities that are evenly distributed in every position.
The man often called Nuban stated that he would specifically strive to carry out his attacking and defensive duties well, including facing the opposing foreign players who are the mainstay of the game.
