Spain’s solid score-scoring matchmaker was shining. It was the free throw that divided the results of the two. The number of successes was 4 out of 13 (31%) in Japan and 11 out of 15 (73%) in Spain.

Captain Hide Toyoshima (32 = Miyagi MAX) said, “(Free throw) was listed as an issue before the tournament. There was no good probability.” Head coach Kazuyuki Kyoya also said, “I had to decide.” We will correct the issues that came up in the serious game with the powerful players and face Turkey in the final qualifying round on the 30th.
