Heading into the crucial final stages with the 'Power of Unity'. Looking back at this season's trials and growth through a 'Quote Log'.

The regular season of the B.League 2025-26 season is finally reaching its final stages. It is the time when each club competes fiercely looking ahead to the Championship (CS) advancement and the pinnacle beyond it, and the Ryukyu Golden Kings have also progressed to this critical juncture while accumulating many trials and positive responses. This season, amidst a schedule that included participating in the EASL (East Asia Super League) for the fourth consecutive season and the centrally held Emperor's Cup All-Japan Championship, there were times when the team struggled with condition adjustments and play coordination. Nevertheless, they have steadily accumulated victories by facing challenges in each game to enhance team strength, sometimes showing tenacity in defense, and sometimes winning close games with high execution ability in the final stages. Currently, the Kings' record is 32 wins and 15 losses, placing them 4th in the West District. They are ranked 2nd in the wild card standings, positioned within the CS advancement zone. However, the race for CS advancement is an unusually tight contest, and they cannot afford to let their guard down for a single game. In order to overcome the biggest hurdle of the regular season, the passionate support of fans continues to be necessary. Although still in the middle of the season, to further strengthen the "power of unity", we reflect on the journey of trial and error so far through a record of statements by Head Coach Dai Oketani and the players. Let's turn the experience accumulated through fierce battles into unwavering strength, and face the crucial battles together.

"The fighting attitude was much better than yesterday" <> (In the 1st game) There were areas where we weren't able to help teammates, weren't calling out, and weren't reaching out to players who had fallen on the floor. The game developed similarly to yesterday, but the fighting attitude was much better. Even though we lost, I want to view the content positively and head into the next game. <<#4 Vic Law>> The team's condition is not acceptable, but I don't think it's an emergency situation. Everyone needs to play better. Repeating that, we also played over 80 tough games last season. I want to make sure we don't lose two in a row anymore. I believe we can do it.
