Sendai 89ERS, 4th in the eastern district, defeated Aomori Wat’s, 6th in the same district, 88-53, and won the same card for the first time in a month since the match against Ehime in October. In front of the 2083 boosters who filled up Xebio Arena Sendai this season, he won a big victory by 35 points and ended the four home games in a row.

The lowest goal of the season was updated for two consecutive days. The first quarter (Q) antagonized 20-19, but head coach Hiroki Fujita (35) timed out one minute after the start of the second Q, saying that the defense was not good. From there, the adherence came back to life. He kept the lead to 11 goals in the 2nd quarter and widened the lead to 42-30, and in the 4th quarter he kept Aomori without any goals for the remaining 7 to 6 minutes. After finishing the 4th quarter with only 7 goals, he embodied the belief of “finishing the defense for 40 minutes” and delivered the victory to the home.

Justin Burrell (33) won the inside in the attack. He sank 11 out of 13 2-point shots with a scoring rate of 84.6%, and 6 of them dunk shots made the home boil. Barrel, who scored 22 points, the highest number for both teams, said, “I think the team as a whole was able to do what each player had to do.” Take the momentum of winning streak and seek a better basket for the entire team.[Hamamoto Kamui]
