[Live] Semi Finals Game 1 | KAWASAKI vs UTSUNOMIYA | 05.21.2022 | B.LEAGUE

#KawasakiBraveThunders will face #UtsunomiyaBrex in the Semi Finals, who has stood in the way of the B1 champions three times in the past. This season, however, KAWASAKI will be playing at home for the first time, and with the support of their fans, they will be aiming for the "fourth time's the charm". UTSUNOMIYA, on the other hand, has plenty of momentum after winning back-to-back games against CHIBA JETS, the last season's champions, in the Quarter Finals. It won't be an easy task for KAWASAKI to overcome UTSUNOMIYA's stiffer and intensive defense even with their overwhelming　offence with the league's highest average scoring of 88.2 points. The key to victory will be the three-point shooting, with each team averaging more than 10 shots made in the Quarter Finals. The key players in this matchup will be KAWASAKI's #33 Takumi Hasegawa and UTSUNOMIYA's #9 Yusuke Endo. We expect them to play a role not only as a key defensive player to shut down their opponent's 3-point shooting, but also as a player to bring a flow to his team with their long-range shots.
