▽Team comment
He made it onto the bench after overcoming an unimaginable injury. He demonstrated his presence as a rim protector to protect the goal by taking advantage of his tall height and high jumping ability. I am confident that the future growth of Watanabe, who is a big man who can run and has the mobility to do his best, will lead not only to the Kings but also to the future of Japanese basketball.
