HANOI, KOMPAS — The 2021 SEA Games in Vietnam feels increasingly like the stage for Indonesia's debut athletes. A number of athletes who are not burdened with specific targets, such as basketball player Derrick Michael Xzavierro (19) and swimmer Masniari Wolf (16), have actually become the "backbone" of the team. Behind this phenomenon, there is a message that Indonesia has abundant talent, but it needs proper coaching to polish it.

Derrick ordained himself as a future star in the debut performance of the SEA Games at the Tanh Tri Indoor Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Monday (16/5/2022). With 24 points and 18 rebounds in 37 minutes in that match, he became the hero of the Indonesian basketball team's dramatic victory over Malaysia, 95-92.
