[Match results] [Fukuoka] 84-75 [Shinshu] 1Q 25-24 2Q 14-20 3Q 29-14 4Q 16-17 【Battle Review】 GAME 2 began the day after the fierce battle of GAME 1. Fukuoka was the first to get the game going. #0 Aida scored the opening goal with a mid-range shot, and #34 Aguilar and #8 Aoki then sank consecutive 3-pointers, leading to an 8-0 run. They wanted to continue their momentum and take control, but Shinshu quickly found their offensive rhythm and began scoring. Even so, Fukuoka continued their aggressive attack, skillfully drawing fouls and scoring with free throws. #32 Kano also made a 3-pointer, and the game went into the second quarter with the score tied. Aida made a brilliant pass to Aguilar, exciting the crowd with a fast break. Aoki followed up with a second 3-pointer, and it seemed like they would seize the momentum, but Shinshu responded with a shot from the outside, and they couldn’t pull away. Meanwhile, inside key player #24 Barrell showed off his physical strength. Despite being double-teamed, he scored an end-one despite being fouled. The game continued to be a back-and-forth affair, but Shinshu scored consecutive points in the final minutes to take the lead, putting the team five points behind at halftime. ＜Second Half＞ Aguilar and Aoki sank consecutive 3-pointers,
successfully turning the game around early in the second half. Aida also stole the ball and scored a layup, starting to create a rhythm on offense and defense. Fukuoka forced Shinshu into mistakes with their aggressive defense, while Aoki, riding on their momentum, unleashed a string of 3-pointers. He sank four in the third quarter alone, quickly pulling away from Shinshu. Aoki led the team with 14 points in the third quarter alone, leading the team to a 10-point lead going into the fourth quarter. In the final quarter, Fukuoka maintained their lead with mid-range shots from Barrell and Aoki. #5 Reid made bold attacks and scored at key moments, preventing Shinshu from taking the lead. However, a series of fouls allowed Shinshu’s leading scorer, Daum, to sink his fourth 3-point shot, bringing the lead to just five points with 2 minutes and 16 seconds remaining. Even so, Aoki sank his seventh deep three-pointer of the day at a crucial moment, sealing the win. Fukuoka maintained a tenacious defense in the second half, holding Shinshu to 31 points, defeating them and securing their fifth consecutive win. [Comment] Masato Fukushima HC Because yesterday was a tough game, both teams made similar adjustments and started off lightly. In the first half, our defense lacked intensity, allowing Shinshu to play the basket effectively for many periods. While we didn’t start badly, we were too focused on offense and neglected our defense. In the second half, our teams stepped up their defensive intensity and actively pursued steals and loose balls. Additionally, our players continued to shoot more aggressively than in the first half, resulting in more 3-point shots in the second half than our opponents. We struggled a bit early in the season, but I think we played well today. The players are finally getting the hang of it, and I hope to use this as an opportunity to get on a good run from here. Aoki Tatsushi I’m really glad we were able to win two games in a row against tough opponents in front of our home fans. My shooting touch was good in the second half, and I think that helped bring the team into a good flow. Our next opponent is Kobe, a formidable opponent with both talent and size, but we will train hard and be fully prepared for the match. [Highlights]
