8th place in the world where you can experience various things and connect to the next
The final day of the “FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup”. The last game will be against Germany, who lost 72-75 to Australia, the women’s U16 Asian Championship champion, in the 5-8th place deciding match yesterday. While Germany leads the match, Japan will chase after one minute with a difference of 5 points. However, he escaped to Germany and was unable to finish the final race with 50-59. As a result, Japan will finish the tournament in 8th place and will be on their way home.
Higashi Benika (2nd year student at Fukuoka University Wakaba High School) scored 16 points and Yuka Yagi (2nd year student at Kyoto Seika Gakuen High School) scored 13 points every day against the world. He played an active part.
Players who have gained a lot of international experience by fighting the FIBA U16 Women’s Asian Championship and the FIBA U17 Women’s World Cup for about a month. The FIBA U18 Women’s Asian Championship is scheduled for September this year, and I expect it to be an immediate force.
The experience of striving toward the highest goal in the world and actually playing against the world’s strongest players, including the United States, is a great value that cannot be changed. Please continue to aim for the best in the world by demonstrating the feeling of this tournament from the inter-school athletic meet and daily practice that will start from now on.
