Ryusei Shinoyama of Kawasaki Brave Thunders. The goal is “3 crowns”
The B-League 2021-22 season will finally begin on September 30th.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the Japan Men’s National Team lost in the group league, but the Japan Women’s National Team advanced to the final and won the silver medal. At the Paralympics, men’s wheelchair basketball also won a silver medal. Both men and women have advanced to the quarterfinals in 3×3, and basketball’s recognition and popularity are steadily rising.
“It’s going to be a turning point that will change the basketball world.”
Ryusei Shinoyama of Kawasaki Brave Thunders says so.
The veteran, who lost the election from the Japanese national team just before the Tokyo Olympics and overcame the difficult times, is now about to enter the B League with great ambition again.
“I think the reason I feel like doing this now is because I lost the Olympics at the Tokyo Olympics and felt frustrated.”
Sasayama said in a slightly uplifting voice.
Three months ago …
The Japanese men’s national team made an expedition to the Philippines to compete in the Asian Cup. Before returning to Japan, it was decided that two people would be removed and 18 candidate members would be selected. Sasayama was called by Julio Lamas on the final day of the expedition and was told he was defeated.
“At the moment when I was told that I was defeated, my body became lighter, my shoulders were unloaded, and I felt like I was weakened.”
