Where is the difference from the world? Japan missed advance to the second league Japan Basketball World Cup September 4 6:27
In the basketball World Cup held in China, Japan lost two consecutive losses from the first round of the first round and missed the second round. Where was the difference between Japan and the world, which was rated as “the strongest in history” before the competition?
Japan in this tournament was ranked 48th in the world ranking, but NBA = American professional basketball, Wizards Yasushi Yamura and Grizzlies Yuta Watanabe were evaluated as the strongest in history, and a breakthrough was expected. However, since the first round of the first round, the team lost two consecutive losses and missed the advance to the second round.
Through these two games, there are issues that could be corrected and could not be corrected even at world-level matches.
The issues that I could correct were how to enter the game and the attack surface.
In the 17th place in the world of the first match, in the match against Turkey, Japan made mistakes in the opponent's intense defense immediately after the start, allowing more than 10 leads from the first quarter. Japan tried to change the unpleasant flow with an attack centered on Ace's Yamura player, but Yamura player was thoroughly marked and could not make a form of attack and lost without taking the lead once It was.
It was a game that left issues for the importance of entering the game on the big stage of the World Cup, and for dealing with attacks when the ace was sealed.
Japan tried to correct these issues in the second game two days later, the 24th in the world against the Czech Republic.
We did not give a score by strict defense immediately after the start, and did not easily pass the flow to the opponent.
Also, on the attack side, Yamura was marked in the same way as the first game, but other players scored by scoring under the goal with a quick pass and skillful dribbling, and Julio Lamas head coach `` I felt that I was able to reach my limits. "
On the other hand, what could not be corrected through the two games was a rebound, which was a scramble for the ball under the goal. In the World Cup Asian qualifiers, more than 2 meters of players such as Yachimura and Nick Fuzzycus joined, and his rebound ability rapidly improved, leading to the participation in this tournament.
However, in the game against Turkey and the Czech Republic, the case where the offense rebounded by the attacker again to take the ball that did not score the goal was more conspicuous, leading to the next attack.
Yamura recalled, “Because I couldn't get a rebound, I made a lot of opportunities for the opponent and shots. I must improve it to win the world.”
Japan has shown the ability to correct challenges against the top teams in these two games, but it has also become clear that it has yet to reach the world level.
Attention will be paid to whether the Japanese national team will be able to show a battle that will lead to the future in the final game of the first round and the remaining ranking decision game.
