Even though I was aware of the difference in height and physical ability, I continued to make mistakes
Yusho Kawashima scored 16 points by scoring a free throw despite being severely marked.
“FIBA U17 World Cup”Will open in Malaga, Spain, and the men’s U17 Japan National Team will play against the Dominican Republic. I was aware that there was a difference in height and physical ability from the world, but I faced the first match, but 20 turnovers and mistakes continued, and I lost 69-81. The next round will be played against local Spain from 4 o’clock in the early morning on Monday, July 4th.
He made a good chance by catching a defensive rebound, but recorded seven turnovers in the first quarter alone. Only 9 points were scored in the first 10 minutes, scoring 9-20 and the Dominican Republic. The mark for Yusho Kawashima (2nd year of Fukuoka University Ohori High School), who became the top scorer in Asia, is naturally strict, and it is difficult for me to shoot with my own rhythm. Just before the end of the first half, he scored points with haste and aggressive play to attack the goal, chasing 26-38 and 12 points to the second half.
The goal is far away in the third quarter, and on the contrary, the Dominican Republic scored one after another, and it became a one-sided development with 33-69. Bench members such as Hideto Sakihama (2nd year of Fukuoka Daiichi High School) and Kei Rooney (3rd year of Shochi Fukaya High School) also played an active part, and the last 10 minutes exceeded 30-15, but in the end 69- I couldn’t finish the first match with 81.
We will continue to play against the bigger Spain and Lithuania, but we will only make use of the experience and reflection points we gained in this match.
