But no one gave up
The opening card match against Aranmare The venue, Yokote City Omonogawa Gymnasium, was tossed up at 14:00 in a completely away space with Aranmare’s team color orange, including the decorations.
Honoka Tsuchida and Aimi Wakahara made a good start to 5-0, but due to the tension of the opening game, the ball did not enter the inside during the offense, and their legs stopped. You can see the characteristics of bad times when the ball is spinning outside.
In defense, you can give space to Aran Mare and score points
As a result, although the score was 18-17 with a 1-point lead, at the end of the first half, it was 31-42 and 11 points behind to enter the second half.
With 4 minutes and 37 seconds remaining in the 3rd period, the game was the largest of the day with 22 points, and “a loss in the opening game” came to mind. As Wakahara and Tsuchida said at a later press conference, the players understood the situation and remained calm even when they were outnumbered.
Then, with 3 minutes and 2 seconds remaining in the 3rd draw, the Queen Beads, chasing a 20-point lead, scored from a steal by Nanami Hamanishi, a substitute substitute, and the mood of the team changed completely.
Against Aran Mare, who started to slow down, they adjusted their defense and gradually narrowed the point difference to 49-60 with an 11-point deficit to the remaining 10 minutes of offense and defense.
As Moeno Oka said after the match, “I’ve been aiming for the playoffs with Ran (Wakahara) for a long time. Young people are also energetic as if chasing.
With 3 minutes and 41 seconds left, the score was tied and the game was reversed. In overtime, newcomer Natsuki Izuhara quickly screwed in two drives against Aran Mare, who had already made five fouls. After that, the score difference widened and the curtain fell on the fierce battle with 82-74.
It was Game 1, in which all sorts of things were condensed into a total of 45 minutes, including overtime, and the superiority and inferiority of the match changed like a roller coaster.
How will this one win lead to tomorrow, and how will it be used to advance to the playoffs? Aran Mare will try to defend two consecutive home losses, and Aran Mare will come even harder tomorrow. be done.
Tomorrow is an all-out battle, gather the power of 13 people and win!
Head coach/player talk
Kanji Kaneko Head Coach
Although the difference was up to 22 points, Hamanishi used offense and defense as a detonator to bring the flow of the match.
During the offense, the ball stops, so when I instructed him to turn the ball around, his movement improved.
An error occurs during the game. In order to solve this problem, we will change players and proceed with the match tomorrow.
Hamanishi, who created the opportunity today, was injured, but I think the mood will be even better if another player plays an active role.
Moeno Oka
It’s hard to open that much in half
There were many newcomers, so I thought I had to show an aggressive attitude, and I think it was good that I actively went to score points.
In the last few years, I’ve raised a winning star
It’s great that there are some players out there who know how to win.
There is meaning in reversing from where you caught up
I think it was good that we were aiming for the goal until the end.
It was great that Izuhara drove two cars in overtime.
And Ichi (Hamanishi)
Honoka Tsuchida
It was a tough match, but I’m happy to win.
I thought it would be tough to be honest, but the reason for the victory was everyone’s unwillingness to give up.
I wonder if everyone’s desire to win surpassed their opponents.
4 points (with 2 minutes and 13 seconds left to open the gap) 3 was the result of morning training
I’m glad I did my best.
I want to calm down once and start again tomorrow.
Manami Wakahara
I was helped by everyone, and I think I was able to help the team.
In that respect, the team became one
I think the team is stronger than last season.
The reason we struggled in the first half was that we weren’t able to attack.
The ball was going around the outside and stopped at the top, so the flow started after we discussed with the team, “Let’s put the ball in.”
Despite being outnumbered, the players inside were calm as they grasped the situation.
The fact that no one gave up led to good results.
