October 27, 2019 (Sun) Sea Horse Mikawa Game Report

In the second quarter, the gear was further raised and the lead was expanded, but the first half was finished by allowing a continuous score just before the end of the first half.

The fourth quarter started as soon as it was forced into a difficult situation that allowed a reversal with a continuous 3P shot, but without losing calmness from here # 13 Kikuchi, # 24 Tanaka scored again and scored again, a high score game I won 99-95 for the match!

<Match report>

1st Q:
From the beginning of the game, the foul couldn't get through the rhythm, and Mikawa # 14 Kanamaru was able to score 3P shots in a row. However, with the success of # 24 Tanaka and # 53 Kirk, they succeeded in reversing. Scoring 5 points and finishing the first quarter.

2Q:
Enter the second quarter and raise the gear further. From a violent defense to a transition offense, the lead is expanded to a two-digit difference at a stretch. At the end of the game, Mikawa was chased and the lead was shrunk and the game turned back.

3Q:
In the second half of the start, ALVARK first grabbed the flow and took consecutive scores, but after 5 minutes, Mikawa was allowed to score continuously and became an unpleasant rhythm. Trying to rebuild from the defense, but Mikawa's momentum could not be stopped, the game goes to the fourth quarter.

◆ Luka HC Comment
The players played really well in these two matches with Mikawa. Behind the 4th quarter, and being able to take it to 7 points by reversing from there, I think that it was the result of 5 people on the court playing calmly in the game. However, there were times when the defense plan did not mesh. It must be reconsidered that Kanamaru scored 35 points, Gardner's 1on1, the inside's score could not be suppressed, and easy scored continuously at the end of the second quarter. Hmm. I think the players are tired, but I would like to fight again for the next game.
◆ # 12 Comment from Machuwan
I think it was good that the team was able to win well in such a game development. Gardner who I was doing a match up was done more than yesterday, and the team is still not satisfied with the content, so my condition gradually increased as I played the game , I would like to continue practicing so that I can fulfill my required role.
◆ # 24 Tanaka Comment
Since today's game was good for my own sense of shoot touch, I was able to make a firm decision including important scenes. However, for us, a high scoring game is not an ideal game development, so it is necessary to thoroughly advance their rules to determine how to deal with a team with an offense ability I think it will be particularly important. In the next section, the match with Utsunomiya in the same district will be a more intense match than before, and I think it will not be easy to win, but I would like to fight firmly with the current members.
Next section 11/1 (Fri)-2 (Sat) will play against Utsunomiya BREX at Away Brex Arena Utsunomiya (Tochigi Prefecture). We would like to ask for your continued warm support to ALVARK TOKYO.
