◾️Battle review
1st Q
From the start, Utsunomiya, including #25 New Building and #6 Hiejima, were able to score with good probability from the outside and quickly took control. #1 Matsumoto and #18 Baba were able to score from their attacks, and #5 Bonds made a fast break, but the point difference widened to 15-37 heading into the second quarter.

2nd Q
#42 Fotu and New Bill were unable to rebuild their defense and were unable to stop Utsunomiya’s offense. Even on offense, turnovers were noticeable and it was difficult to convert into points, and despite #33 Perkins’ basket count and Bonds’ three-point shot, they were unable to recover and the first half ended at 27-56.

3Q
Bonds started the second half with a goal, followed by Baba’s three-point shot. Furthermore, he created a 14-0 run with a steal, a layup shot by #4 Kanamata, and a three-point shot by #36 Enokida, and the momentum was regained, but he was unable to maintain a good flow, and Utsunomiya scored from a turnover, and the point difference widened once more to 50-. 74 heading into the final quarter.

4th Q
Utsunomiya started the game with a score, but due to some turnovers, the lead might not be narrowed. Scored points with #2 Kobari’s three-point shot and Matsumoto’s basket count. #99 Washington held on with consecutive points, but the game continued at Utsunomiya’s pace from beginning to end, and they might not make a comeback and the game ended at 76-97.

◾️Comment
Kenjiro Maeda Head Coach
“I think there were two sides to this game.In the first quarter and second half, we were able to show Veruca the basket we wanted to make.I think it was a game where two sides showed up. Due to the current situation, we were unable to bring those aspects to the forefront of today’s match, such as increasing our intensity level with the mindset that we were going to win at all costs once morest Utsunomiya. Utsunomiya, who won by 20 points, played even more aggressively and physically with high intensity than yesterday and even more than us, and that showed.In terms of both the team and my own approach, I appreciate all the players. I think we were able to really show what’s important in basketball. However, as I said earlier, in the second half we were able to play like Welka, and we managed to play harder and more aggressively than our opponents. As a team, we were able to play with confidence.I think we did really well in that area.We’ve been playing for a long time since the end of the bye week in December, but despite the bad points and opposition like today’s game, we’ve done really well. I think there were some good parts and parts where I felt there was potential in the past two months.After this bye week, games continued in March, April, and May, and in December, January, and February. We will work hard as a team during the bye week so that we can continue to express the good parts that we felt a positive response to in the moon, and the parts that we want to do as Veruca, in any time period, in any game. I want to do my best.”

Yudai Baba
“I think it’s because of the difference in experience. Mr. Utsunomiya completely changed the play that worked for us yesterday, and we weren’t able to fully attack once morest it. That’s the difference we started with. We mightn’t get the ball rolling and it ended until the end, so I thought it was amazing that the head coach was in charge.”
