We would like to inform you that the result was “Fukuoka 90-65 Ehime” in the Resona Group B.LEAGUE 2024-25 season [Rising Zephyr Fukuoka vs. Ehime Orange Vikings] held on Monday, November 11, 2024. Masu. [Match results] [Fukuoka] 90-65 [Ehime] 1Q 26-15 2Q 27-18 3Q 16-14 4Q 21-18 [Battle review] Fukuoka, riding high on a three-game winning streak, comfortably won against Ehime with a 25-point lead, extending their winning streak to four. In the early stages, the stalemate continued for more than two minutes due to both teams’ strong defense, but #8 Smith scored his first point inside, and #25 Burrell also attacked mainly inside, and the score began to change. Newly-joined #5 Randall also fits the team so well that it’s hard to believe he only joined last week, and he met expectations by successfully hitting a jumper in the corner from the 1st quarter. Even on defense, Fukuoka applied pressure from the front, inducing Ehime’s mistakes and allowing them to score. Burrell then made a spectacular put-back from the rebound, and substitute #24 Taniguchi also made consecutive 3-point shots, exciting the venue. Ru. Near the end of the second quarter, #7 Nishikawa hit a buzzer beater from the half-court line, and the first half ended with a 20-point lead at 53-33 amid loud cheers. In the second half, Randall, who was appointed as a starter, aggressively attacked the ring and #23 Murakami’s layup led to more points. However, when Ehime allowed a counterattack with fierce defense and 3-point shooting, Fukuoka requested a timeout and made corrections in order to break the bad flow. After the restart, Fukuoka got back into the swing of things with layups by Burrell and Randall. With more than 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, both teams committed more than 5 team fouls, and the intensity was outstanding. Ehime’s #11 Spikes fouled out at 5 minutes 50 seconds, while #1 Nakamura and #1 at key points Fukuoka’s shooters, including No. 12 Kantake and No. 23 Kato, scored, pushing Ehime further away. New recruit Randall had 15 points and 10 rebounds, Burrell had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Smith had 22 points and 17 rebounds. Three players had double-doubles, and Fukuoka, which was outscored in every quarter, won 90-65. I got it. [Comment] ■Hamaguchiitis HC We tried very aggressively on defense from the first quarter, and although we got into foul trouble, I think our starting members brought a good flow and strength to the team. In particular, Randle was able to understand the team’s tactics and important points of play in a short period of time, even though it was only his third practice since joining the team, and he fit well into the team with his unique style of play. In addition, the players are communicating well, teaching each other set pieces, and the team atmosphere as a whole is very positive, and I feel that the team is steadily improving. I think Murakami has improved a lot lately. Their aggressive pressure from the front and defense that makes good use of their hands and feet stands out. Up until now, he has been more of a player who stands out on offense, but recently he has been doing really well on defense as well. When the point guard and shooting guard actively defend, the forwards and inside players behind them also receive that energy, allowing them to work together as a whole. In that respect, I feel that Aida and Murakami are leading the team from the start on defense. There were some moments where they got into foul trouble early in the first half, but this was proof that the entire team was actively moving, and I think their limbs were moving better than ever. Until last week, we played tenaciously as a team of 10 players even though we didn’t have many players on the inside, and as a result we grew as a team and as individual players. Injuries are inevitable, but it’s a good sign that the team is getting better little by little even under these circumstances. The addition of Randle has created some leeway in the inside rotation, as we saw today, and we are able to create good developments even when there is only one foreign player, allowing the team to play even more diversely. I feel that it has become. ■Andrew Randall I’m glad that we won, but there were a lot of things that we needed to fix both individually and as a team, so we’ll make sure to improve for tomorrow. I think my strength is that I can fit right in with any team I join. I’ve been playing in Japan for 12 years, and experience has given me confidence. Although we don’t have a complete team yet, we have players who are aiming to win the championship and get promoted, and I feel like we are a team that is always aiming for the top. In order to win, a foul may be a good decision, or you may have to pass. I believe that my role is to do exactly what the coach needs, so in practice we work hard together, regardless of whether the players are Japanese or foreign, and in games we help each other to win. I want to accumulate more. I really love basketball, and I watch all the B League and overseas games. I frequently check the individual stats of my opponents, and go into matches with a certain level of knowledge about them. Not only in Fukuoka, but when I join a team, I don’t just want to gain something by joining this team, I want to help the team! I am joining with this strong feeling. As I said earlier, we have good members, so we want to improve every day and become an even better team. [Highlights]
