Yang Jae-min’s performance in the 100th Emperor’s Cup Tournament…Sendai is likely to face Chiba

This year marks the 100th edition of the All-Japan Basketball Championship hosted by the Japan Basketball Association (JBA). The Emperor’s Cup is an FA Cup in which not only the B. League, but also all the B2. League (second division), B3. League (third division) and university teams participate. A total of 102 teams participated this year.

The cup competition, which will be held in the form of a tournament after the first, second and third rounds, began on the 14th and is currently in the second round.

Yang Jae-min, who will be the only player in Japan this season, also joined the Emperor’s Cup. In the first game held on Sunday, Yang’s team Sendai 89ERS faced Kobe Stokes, a member of the B2 League. As the starting pitcher, he played 21 minutes and 26 seconds, scoring eight points, rebounds, and two steals. Sendai also won 79-61.

Yang Jae-min, who immediately started the next game on Tuesday, also started against Dice Tachikawa, a member of the B3. League. He played 23 minutes and 40 seconds, continuing his upward trajectory by scoring 12 points, eight rebounds, and two assists. Sendai also won 87-73 and is on the verge of advancing to the next round.토토사이트

Sendai will play against the Chiba Jets of the B. League and the winner of the Yokohama B-Cousers game on Sunday. Chiba is the most likely opponent. NBA leaguer Yuta Watanabe, who announced his return to Japan ahead of this season, and Japan’s top guard Yuki Togashi are both strong players. The Yokohama B-Cousers ranked sixth in the Central Division last season.

Meanwhile, Yang Jae-min, who became the first Korean to advance to the B. League through the Asian quarter system in 2020, will mark his second season with Sendai. Last season, he averaged 5.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in an average of 19 minutes and 23 seconds in 56 regular league games.
