Yuta's Basketball Life

There was a game on November 26. Last year, the opponent was the 2nd place finisher in the Yokosuka League and has won the tournament in the Spring. It was a strong team with some players belonging to National Sports Festival Player (国体選手) and the club team in Yokohama City who participated  in national sport meeting, but some of them wasn't gathering. Thanks to that, it made me to feel comfortable challenging them in a game. I would like to introduce this game. In the first half, we didn't take the ball to the hole very easily, so it was a low score game. The result of the first half was that we leaded 28-24. In the second half, the opponent didn't have its main members, so my team dominated the game. As gradually my team began taking the ball to the hole, the defense also played well, and the atmosphere of my team improved. The result of the second half was 47-18. The final result was 75-42. Although it was a close game until the middle, my team was able to win successf

I went to cheer for my little brother's game. This game is a preliminary game in Kanagawa Prefecture. This preliminary games are held in Kanagawa Prefecture divided into four in east, west, north and south. When I was a high school student, the preliminary games were held in each city, such as Yokosuka City. There are few high schools such as Yokosuka City, so it was collected in four in Kanagawa. My little brother is in the second grade in high school. He is a captain on his basketball club. His height is about 177 cm and his position is the shooting guard, the same position as my position. Because my little brother is injured, he was able to play this game only for a short time. I would like to introduce this game. My little brother's basketball club is a lower grade student team. In recent years, the opponent is a regular school that participates in the prefectural tournament. This game went on at the opponent's pace from the beginning. There was a difference in the

The gymnasium I use for practice I practice basketball three days a week, one day of which is the practice day of the club team that I belong to. The other two days, my senior club team opens the gymnasium, so I participate. However, only I came to practice on this day. Recently, I practice alone once a week. I would like to introduce my practice contents. I mainly practiced shooting, since I could use the gymnasium from 18:00 to 21:00 on this day. My position is shooting guard, so I have to do outside shooting practice. First of all, I practiced my 3-point shot by making 10 shots in 5 places. Next I pretended chairs were the defense and I practiced dribbling and shooting. By changing my dribble, I would practice many times because I can make many combinations. Finally, I jogged to cool down, and I shot lay-ups and reverse lay-ups. I practiced for about three hours, but because I was able to focus, it was over in a flash. Basketball is a team sport, but even a single perso

Yokosuka Arena I went to watch the Autumn League of Kanto University for two days on October 7th and 8th. These games were held at my town Yokosuka. It was good opportunity as the venue was Yokosuka Arena, which is about 15 minutes from my house. It was the first division games that were held. On October 7th,  I was able to watch only the last game because I had class up to the 4th period. On the 8th, I watched two games because I had a part time job. On the 7th. I watched the game of Tsukuba University vs Nihon University. Tsukuba University was the champion of the Autumn League of Kanto University last year, Nihon University was ranked 8th. The result was 80 - 69, Tsukuba University won! Tsukuba University's fourth year player, Yudai Baba became a B-League player. It's strong. The pressure of defense of Tsukuba University was strong and there were many steals. Since I'm not good at defense, I learned a lot. Aoyama Gakuin vs Meiji The next game was Aoyama Gaku

Today, I had a practice of the club team I belong to, but only three people including myself, gathered. The practice contents were individual practice and shooting with three people. My team is called "Ayame Kai" (Jap: あやめ会). It's registered in the Basketball Association of Yokosuka-city, and we belong to the first division among 3 divisions. In May this year there was a tournament divided into two blocks, A and B. We won second place. In the period from October to March, there is a league match where there is a game once a month. So now I'm working hard to practice. #1 #2 And also, today was the day to  on my new basketball shoes (#1) for the first time. They're the same type as my old basketball shoes (#2) only the color is different. The model of this shoes is Kyrie Irving, for the NBA player who is my favorite basketball player. He moved to the Boston Celtics this year, so I'm looking forward to the start of the NBA season.
