The Japanese women’s basketball team will play a warm-up match against the Latvian national team at Xebio Arena Sendai on the 11th and 12th. On the 10th, the final adjustments were made at the match venue, and Coach Onzuka, who responded to the interview after practice, showed confidence in the finish, saying, “The speed of judgment and the accuracy of play are definitely improving.” In the world rankings, Japan is 8th and Latvia is 24th.
The coach said that aggressive defense against ball possession is one of Latvia’s characteristics, and added, “I want to avoid getting caught. Captain Takada (Denso) is wary of conceding points under the goal against tall opponents. “One point is the pressure of defense from a high position,” he said.
