Stubbs said he was very surprised himself and thought that the MVP would be his teammate Tam Dinh, who scored 21 points.
“I did coordinate well with my teammates in both defense and offense tactics, but if I could, I would give the MVP title to Tam Dinh because he stood out and scored the most points for the team,” the foreign player stated.
Despite missing the shots, Stubbs did contribute a lot to the team’s overall victory.
