Fukushima Firebonds, which is second in the eastern district, lost to F Eagles Nagoya, which is the leader in the same district, 58-91. In addition to the lowest score of 58 points this season, he was defeated by 33 points, the largest this season, and lacked vividness in offense and defense.
I never took the lead from the first quarter (Q). By the 4th minute of the start, four 3-point shots (3P) were sunk in Nagoya and allowed a lead of 5-12, and the score was pushed out by 13 points of 5-18 in a row. Even after that, the momentum of Nagoya could not be stopped, and the first half was turned back by 20 points with 27-47, such as allowing 9 3Ps in the first half alone.
The difference did not close even in the second half. In the 4th Q, Tsubasa Yamauchi (24) sank 2 consecutive 3Ps without being swayed by the opponent’s high block and gained momentum, but could not take the flow. The attacks did not engage at key points, and he presented a “20” turnover and a “13” steel.
In this section, the scoring source Erik Murphy (31) and Alex Murphy (28) will miss the World Cup European Qualifiers. Due to the absence of two people, the field goal success rate on that day was sluggish at 32.8% and the 3P success rate was 24%. To a team with high deciding power no matter who is lacking, first of all, the team as a whole will grab the victory in the second round on the 27th today.
