On April 18 (Sat) and 19 (Sun), we will host San-en NeoPhoenix for a home game at Okinawa Suntory Arena. Since the away game in November, which ended in a 1-1 tie, this rematch in the final stages of the season after about 5 months is bound to be heated.

■ Can we contain the momentum of San-en, who run together and attack quickly? San-en NeoPhoenix's strength lies in their high-paced offense, emphasizing quick transitions from defense and fast breaks. Just like in GAME 2 of the away series on November 9 (Sun), once they catch their momentum, it is difficult to regain the flow of the game from their relentless attacks.
While #2 David Nwaba, averaging 19.7 points (*), and #1 Yante Maten, averaging 19.5 points (*), lead the scoring, attention should also be paid to the brilliant passing sense of #24 Ryusei Sasaki, who averages 5.1 assists (*). Captain #24 Sasaki serves as the starting point, accelerating San-en's offense.
Players #2 Nwaba and #24 Sasaki, along with #4 Vic Law, were selected for the B.League Regular Season Best 5 last season. The key to the Kings' victory will be whether they can counter this formidable San-en team with solid, united team defense and persistent play that utilizes their inside strength.
