Resona Group B2 PLAYOFFS SEMIFINALS 2025-26 (Semifinals) vs. Kobe Storks
Game 1: ⚫︎Kobe 112-106 Yokohama EX (Loss)
After winning consecutive games in the recent away match against Ehime Orange Vikings, we reached the stage of the 'Resona Group B2 PLAYOFFS SEMIFINALS 2025-26' (Semifinals).
The tournament, played in a best-of-two format, to advance to the 'Resona Group B2 PLAYOFFS FINALS 2025-26' (Finals) was against Kobe Storks, the 1st place team in the Western Conference of the 'Resona Group B.LEAGUE 2025-26 B2 League'.
This was a rematch against a strong opponent whom we lost to in the previous match in March, despite the活躍 of '#1 Tray Boyd III' who scored a career-high 53 points.
This season, Kobe finished the 'Resona Group B.LEAGUE 2025-26 B2 League' as the leader with 55 wins and 5 losses. In direct confrontations, we have a losing record of 1 win and 3 losses against them. The game started with intense competition to get the first win!
With a steal by '#10 Iou Nagano' leading to points by '#21 Elijah Williams', both offense and defense were focused, ending the 1st quarter with 'Kobe 25-22 Yokohama EX'.
In the 2nd quarter, there were times when neither team could score easily, but '#1 Tray Boyd III' and '#13 Ozora Ohashi' broke that flow with 3-point shots. At the official timeout in the first half, we managed to reverse the score to 'Kobe 31-32 Yokohama EX', despite being only one point ahead!
However, immediately after the official timeout in the first half, we couldn't find our rhythm against the top team and ended the first half with a 9-point deficit, 'Kobe 48-39 Yokohama EX'.
In the 3rd quarter, '#10 Iou Nagano' made 3 free throws after being fouled on a 3-point shot, and then immediately made a 3-point shot in the subsequent offense, creating momentum!
From there, we gradually narrowed the gap, and with 'Kobe 71-69 Yokohama EX' at 1:46 remaining, '#13 Ozora Ohashi' made a 3-point shot, successfully reversing the score again to 'Kobe 71-72 Yokohama EX'!
Although we allowed them to take the lead again, we ended the 3rd quarter with a narrow margin, 'Kobe 78-73 Yokohama EX'.
However, in the 4th quarter, we couldn't contain Kobe's fierce attack, who had been leading the season, and at the official timeout in the second half, we were suddenly trailing by a large margin, 'Kobe 93-78 Yokohama EX'.
But from there, we showed our determination to win!
'#13 Ozora Ohashi' scored a 3-point shot from a steal, reaching double-digit points. With less than 1:30 remaining, '#1 Tray Boyd III' successfully made 4 three-point shots!
'#1 Tray Boyd III' ultimately made 12 three-point shots, a B2 record including the regular season, showing his spirit until the end, but we still lost.
In a high-scoring game where both clubs scored over 100 points, we lost by 6 points, leaving only consecutive wins as the path to advance to the 'Resona Group B2 PLAYOFFS FINALS 2025-26' (Finals).
Post-game comments
#10 Iou Nagano
Regarding how much we could challenge Kobe (who finished as the leader of the 'Resona Group B.LEAGUE 2025-26 B2 League'), in the previous match, we fell behind early on, so we talked about being aggressive from the start and not losing to their intensity.
Although the start was relatively good, as the second half progressed, small mistakes gradually widened the score gap, which I think led to the defeat.
