Comment from head coach Atsushi Ohno
Q: How did you rebuild in the second half?
A: Number 1 is the execution part.
In the first half, we were on the back foot, and the bad flow of our offense that didn’t go well affected our defense as well, so we reaffirmed our mindset that the pace of our offense should come from our defense. I think the players did their best in the second half.
Q: Why does the team created by coach Ohno play at such a fast pace?
A: I believe that if I don’t find something interesting, the audience watching and the people who support me won’t find it interesting either.
The team is made up of players who match my style, and I’m trying to provide what I think is interesting, and the players are trying to figure out what will make the customers even more happy. I believe this is the result of sharing this with others.
#5 Comment from Sota Oura
I’m really happy that I was able to contribute to our first win against Chiba J since the B League started.
Q: What was the reason for the dramatic improvement from the bad parts in the first half to the third quarter?
A: One of our strengths is that we can play good offense and defense in a fast pace, but in the first half we couldn’t use that fast pace and played more half-court basketball, which ended up playing out the way Chiba J-san wanted. .
In the second half, we increased our tempo and played basketball, which I think led us to a positive direction from the third quarter.
#14 Comment from Kosuke Kanamaru
Today, from the start of the match, we couldn’t find our own pace and couldn’t do what we needed to do, and the first half ended with our opponent taking the lead.
In the second half, we were able to make adjustments to what our opponent had done in the first half, so I think we were able to win.
Q: I think Sanen’s strength is the bench point of 55 points like today, but how do you feel about your own response?
A: Whether it’s a player who comes off the bench or a player who starts from the starting position, what they need to do remains the same.
We follow a cycle in which the players who come on the court play hard, do what they need to do, and are replaced when they get tired.
Today there were parts where I was easily defeated by my defense, and I wasn’t able to do very important parts such as box outs that don’t show up in the stats in the first half, so I’ll have to work on that from the start of the game tomorrow. I would like to do so.
#1 Comment from Jante Mayten
We fought hard and had a great victory!
Especially in the second half, we increased the pace with our good defense, scored inside, outside, and at second-chance points, and were able to develop our own style of basketball.
Tomorrow, we will play basketball like we did in the second half from the start of the first half, and we will prepare to play the basketball we want to play throughout the game.
