Yuta Watanabe of the Toronto Raptors is increasing his presence day by day, scoring double digits in two games in a row despite a two-way contract, and being appointed at the game to meet the team’s expectations. Reporter Chris O’Leary has featured Watanabe’s success on the Raptors official website. “Watanabe sparks the team every time he stands on the court. The average 12.7 minutes of appearance is 3.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and less than one block, which may be modest, but the Raptors rotate. In addition to the relentless defense, he is willing to throw his body to help the team. Such hustle play has given him time to play, and his contribution to the offense is increasing. ” Praised. Watanabe contributed to the victory by scoring 11 points and 3 blocks in the match against Orlando Magic on February 1st (January 31st) Japan time, which won 115-102. After the match, Nick Nurse (head coach) said, “He’s always running around on the court and helping our offense. Playing hard helps limit mistakes. He I rarely make mistakes, though. ” Watanabe’s attitude toward basketball was a factor in making such a contribution, saying that “it is nothing more than his own efforts.” Recently, Watanabe’s activities have been widely reported in major Japanese media as well as Rui Hachimura of Washington Wizards. While the existence of himself and Hachimura has had a great influence on the Japanese basketball world, Watanabe says he hopes that the players who will follow him will be born from Japan. “I want many Japanese kids to play in the NBA, like myself and the base. That’s great for us. Base is already a great player, but we still have to work hard for that. Hmm. I’m going to get more people to watch basketball and make the basketball world bigger–I still have a lot of work to do for that. ”All the last 5 games have been played for 14 minutes or more, every time. He has scored 3 points in the match. Watanabe is not only participating in the game, but is reaching the realm of “being active and natural”, but the stage is high, aiming for “there are many things to do”. It will surely surprise many fans with better performance than it is now.
