◆Leading men’s basketball!Pay attention to Yuki Kawamura
In September 2023, the Japanese national team will win the final match against Cape Verde in the ranking match of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. As a result, they will be confirmed as 19th, the highest ranking for an Asian team, and will have earned a place in the 2024 Paris Olympics. This will be the eighth time that the Japanese national team will participate in the Olympics, and the first time in 48 years since the Montreal Games in 1976 that they will participate on their own.
Yuki Kawamura, who plays an active role as a young playmaker on the Japanese national team, is currently 23 years old. He also contributed to the team’s victory by scoring 15 points and six assists in the Asia Cup qualifying match against Guam in February 2024, and scoring 12 points in the subsequent match against China.
Kawamura is expected to do well at the Paris Olympics. We spoke to Ideguchi Takashi, the coach of the boys’ basketball team at his alma mater, Fukuoka Daiichi High School, about Kawamura’s achievements at the time.
Kawamura is always watching the entire court, and when making lineup changes, he creates opportunities for substitute players to play an active role. “By letting the kid hit the ball and finishing it off, we let him build confidence.When that player becomes available again in the next quarter, the list of players (candidates for the starting lineup) expands.In that way, as a team, we It gets better. He’s like a director who thinks about all kinds of things,” Ideguchi commented. Let’s look forward to Kawamura’s success in the world, with Coach Ideguchi praising him, saying, “I don’t have anything good to say.”
On the program, one of Director Ideguchi’s cheer-up songs, George Yanagi’s song “Go for “The Dream”, was aired.
