I couldn’t decide the shot at the game place and allowed Nippon Sport Science University to revenge in the spring

The long-running Kanto University Women’s League match (league match) is nearing its end. Waseda University, the sixth race, greeted Nippon Sport Science University, which won the women’s championship at Kanto University in the spring. In the second match of the season, both sides who do not give up the victory will defend violently from the beginning and will not allow a goal. However, in front of the height of the opponent’s international student player, he could not get rid of the defensive rebound, and the point difference gradually widened, and the game returned at 22-35. In the 3rd quarter (Q), when the opponent’s height can be dealt with and the rebound can be taken, the flow of the game is grasped and the difference is temporarily reduced to 6 points. However, when Nippon Sport Science University increased the strength of the defense toward the end of the game, Waseda could not make a paint attack and could not decide the shot at the outside angle and was thrown out. He was defeated with a final score of 41-56, and his record in this tournament was 2 wins and 4 losses.

The match started with a goal from G Fester Guard Yaya (Sport 2 = Miyazaki / Kobayashi). In the early stages, both players showed a solid defense, and it was a low score development where the shot was not decided. However, the rebound is controlled by the tall opponent’s international student player, and he allows the score from the second chance. Waseda also attacked with G Emura Yuu (Sport 1 = Aichi / Okagakuen), but he said, “I couldn’t decide the shot to decide and the probability was not good” (Emura). Going to the 2nd Q with a 10-point behind and chasing development. From here, a free throw was presented with a foul from Waseda University, opening up to 14 points. However, F Misaki Imai (Sho 4 = Yamanashi / Fuji Gakuen) sank in the middle shot and Fester Guard’s loop shot, and returned the game 22-35 without passing the flow.

In the second half of the game, Waseda moved his legs in defense, such as letting the opponent violate for 24 seconds from the beginning. Furthermore, it corresponds to the rebound that was taken in the first half, and it is not easy to score points. At the offense, Imai said, “Each of us went all the way to the goal and gained momentum.” He showed a positive attitude such as driving and basket counting centering on the guards, and temporarily closed the gap by 6 points. Waseda entered the 4th quarter with a good flow, but here it struggled with the strengthened defense of Nippon Sport Science University. As Emura says, “I haven’t made a paint attack and I haven’t shrunk the defense inside,” I can’t drive and I can’t make a shot chance. C Ohara Saori (Sport 4 = Tokyo Seitoku High School) showed tenacity in the rebound, but the match ended without being able to get on the flow. The second confrontation this season was defeated.

One of the reasons for the defeat was that he couldn’t cut into the opponent’s strong defense and couldn’t create an offense flow throughout the match. However, in the 3rd quarter, due to the strength of Waseda’s defense, there were scenes of catching up. “Waseda’s strengths and current challenges have been clarified for defense, rebound, and offense.” Imai, who leads the team as a fourth grader, looked back on that after the match. There must have been a good harvest as a team and as an individual in the long league match. Switch your mind and win the final round of the league.

comment

F Misaki Imai (Commercial 4 = Yamanashi / Fuji Gakuen)

――How did you look back on today’s game?

It was a match that clarified Waseda’s strengths and current issues in defense, rebound, and offense. I am very disappointed that I could not take the initiative from the first half.

――I couldn’t draw the flow in the first half.What do you think is the cause?

I think the reason is that I couldn’t express what I was able to do in my daily practice, such as stopping the movement on the offense and not being able to get rid of the rebound ball.

――What did the team discuss in order to close the gap in the second half?Also, please tell us what went well in the second half.

After confirming that everyone would thoroughly defend and rebound, the players talked to each other to enjoy the basket in front of them. Also, in the second half, I think it was very good that each of us headed for the goal and gained momentum.

――I had the impression that Imai himself had a good shot.How was it looking back on today’s play?

Since the number of trial shots was small, I think I should have been aiming for a shot from the outside angle more aggressively.

――Please tell us your enthusiasm for the final race

We will continue to express “Waseda’s basket” on the court for 40 minutes, and don’t forget to enjoy it together.

――Looking back on the match, please give us your impressions.

The offense had a low score, the number of shots was small, and the shots to be decided were not decided, so the probability was not good. In defense, screen support, help rotation communication was not possible or slow. It was a game with many points to be improved, such as the fact that the box out was not thoroughly done and the rebound was taken.

――I have the impression that you couldn’t score three points throughout the match.Is there a cause

I think that the chances of shooting 3P were reduced because the paint attack was not done and the ball was always outside without shrinking the defense inside. As an individual, I would like to practice with a focus on accuracy so that I can sink the shot in any situation.

–Did you find it difficult to attack with your opponent’s defense?

The director instructed me to attack from passing, but the opponent was dying and I couldn’t meet or was late.

――In the 3rd quarter, you showed a catch-up and the basket count was decided. Please tell us your feelings at that time.What do you think was the reason for catching up again?

At the beginning of 3Q, I thought it was still a point difference to catch up with, so I was trying to catch the flow from the defense and aggressively attack.

――Please give us your enthusiasm for the final race.

In the final round, I will improve the shooting accuracy and get points, and I will do my best so that I can grasp the flow from the defense and contribute to the victory of the team.
