Report: Shunsuke Nagatake<\/a><\/p>\n

In the Drew League<\/a> Week 10, LA Loop played against Hank\u2019s Blazers. From the beginning of the game, LA Loop couldn’t play as a team, and suffered second loss in this season.<\/p>\n

In the first quarter, LA Loop made points by Billy Knight\u2019s<\/strong> jumpers. However, LA Loop couldn’t cope with Hank\u2019s Blazers\u2019 fast-paced offenses, and allowed them to made points even though LA Loop got points from good moves. The first quarter ended in a tie.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, Hank\u2019s Blazers took advantage of their athletic abilities, and made dunks one after another. Especially, LA Loop couldn\u2019t stop the Hank\u2019s Blazers\u2019 point guard who is good at quick movements. LA Loop was 3 points behind in the end of the first half.<\/p>\n

In the third quarter, LA Loop allowed Hank\u2019s Blazers to make points easily same as in the first half, and LA loop fell 7 points behind. But LA Loop\u2019s Billy Knight and Rodney Webb<\/strong> got points, and LA Loop caught them up to 1 point behind in the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n

In the final quarter, LA Loop made turnovers and couldn’t make appropriate formations in the important situations. Because of these mistakes, LA Loop couldn’t lead the game in the final quarter and marked second loss in this season. The Final score was LA Loop 70 \u2013 Hank\u2019s Blazers 79.<\/p>\n

In this game, LA Loops point guards couldn\u2019t control the team. In the important situations in the last minutes, they chose wrong formation and they didn\u2019t listen to coaches in timeouts. Playoffs will start in few weeks. So, we need to fix these problems and improve teamwork in order to win in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Narito \u201cNari\u201d Namizato<\/strong> didn’t play this game because of bad condition. LA Loop will play against the last season\u2019s champion next week. So, I want him to get back in good shape to lead team to win.<\/p>\n
