- Day 4 -
I do exercises in the morning to wake up my body properly. The weather was nice, and it was a pleasant morning.
Since there is a match in the afternoon, I moved my body a little around the school in the morning.
When basketball is played, there are players who show glimpses of being a basketball player, and indeed, we can see the appearance of athletes with high physical abilities.
The main street of the venue is bustling with many visitors even on weekdays, reflecting the excitement of the tournament.

31 minutes Maki KITAHARA
[First Half]
At the start, we couldn't get a shot off due to the opponent's solid defense, but gradually we increased our tempo and got closer to the opponent's goal.
In defense, we effectively manage risks against the opponent's physical counterattacks and finish the first half scoreless.
【Second Half】
Right after the start, Maki KITAHARA broke through behind the defense and calmly slotted the ball past the goalkeeper to score the opening goal. After that, the team created several chances and aimed for additional goals, but they struggled to find the net. In the final stages, there were moments of danger where they lost the ball due to the reach of the opponent's defense, which is something that cannot be felt in Japan, but the entire team held strong and secured the victory.
Tomorrow's match is
