However, Hiroshima had 13 turnovers, and Chiba J scored 16 points from turnovers. Additionally, Chiba J had 14 3-point shots compared to Hiroshima’s 5 with a high rate of 41.2%. Hiroshima was unable to score as many points as they had hoped in the final stages due to #0 Terashima’s injury and was unable to play, resulting in a disappointing loss. I look forward to victory in the next match against Saga.
Press conference comments
◎Chiba Jets
■John Patrick HC
“It was a bit similar to yesterday, and in the first half Hiroshima took a lot of offensive rebounds, but in the second half we were able to limit turnovers.I think Smith had a big influence, but Kanechika also had an impact. I think it gave us a lot of energy. It means a lot to us that we were able to get two wins against Hiroshima after the bye week.”
◎Hiroshima Dragonflies
■Kyle Milling HC
“We had some bad moments, but overall, we played good basketball. In the second half, we were overwhelmed by the opponent’s momentum with rebounds and tough shots. Chiba J got us down in the small areas, including loose balls.”
■Takuto Nakamura
“In the first half, we were able to give what we had prepared for. It was difficult to continue like that in the second half. Throughout the game, I felt like we ended the game without being able to get defensive rebounds.”
■Dwayne Evans
“Throughout the two days, we had some difficult games, but we fought well. We fought until the end, but it was frustrating. There are still 20 games left, and the second half has just begun. I think CS is still within reach, so we hope to see you next week. I want to do my best in the match against Saga as well.”
