Hiroshima Fireflies Center Kai Sotto Dominates in B.League
In a recent game held at Adastria Mito Arena, Hiroshima Dragonflies’ center Kai Sotto proved to be a dominant force in their 90-72 victory against the Ibaraki Robots. Recognized as one of the top prospects in the 2022-23 B.League season, the 7-foot-3 player’s performance was nothing short of impressive.
Sotto’s double-double game saw him scoring 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting while recording 12 rebounds and three blocks in just 23 minutes. The victory secured the Dragonflies’ second consecutive win, elevating their record to 30-11.
Apart from Sotto’s outstanding gameplay, Dwayne Evans II, Kerry Blackshear Jr., and Ryo Terashima also made significant contributions. Evans scored 16 points while Blackshear Jr. and Terashima added 12 and 11 points, respectively. On the opposing side, Eric Jacobsen led the Ibaraki Robots with 19 points, although it was not enough to overcome Hiroshima’s dominant performance.
Shiga Lakes and Kiefer Ravena Turn Things Around
The Shiga Lakes, who were previously on a four-game losing streak, managed to secure a 96-87 point victory against the Toyama Grouses, thanks to the performance of the team’s guard, Kiefer Ravena. Ravena contributed six points, three assists, two rebounds, and two steals, playing a significant role alongside Ivan Buya, who scored 25 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Ryukyu Golden Kings’ Carl Tamayo Impresses in Limited Minutes
Despite his limited playing time, Carl Tamayo proved his worth in the Ryukyu Golden Kings’ 81-66 victory over the Shinshu Brave Warriors, scoring nine points and grabbing four rebounds. The Golden Kings improved their record to 32-9 with the win.
Matthew Wright and the Kyoto Hannaryz Lose in Overtime
Matthew Wright’s nine-point, nine-rebound, and nine-assist performance was not enough to lift the Kyoto Hannaryz as they suffered a 93-91 loss in overtime against the Chiba Jets. Forward Jarrod Uthoff missed an opportunity to secure the win with a potential game-winning triple, causing Kyoto to slide to a 16-25 record.
Levanga Hokkaido’s Dwight Ramos Fails to Carry the Team
Dwight Ramos delivered a decent performance of 11 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, but it was not enough to lift the Levanga Hokkaido to a victory over the Seahorses Mikawa. The team suffered a 92-82 loss, pushing them to an 11-30 record.
Thirdy Ravena’s Outstanding Performance Goes to Waste
Thirdy Ravena’s impressive 13-point and 10-rebound game went futile as the San-En faced a disappointing 82-74 loss to the Sendai 89ers at Toyohashi City Gymnasium. The defeat caused the team to slide further to a 17-24 record.
Conclusion
Kai Sotto’s impressive display of skill will undoubtedly turn heads and stir excitement among B.League fans. With his outstanding performance, he has proven to be a valuable asset to the Hiroshima Dragonflies. Other players, such as Kiefer Ravena, Ivan Buya, Carl Tamayo, and Dwight Ramos, also made significant contributions to their respective teams. The B.League continues to offer an exciting and competitive season for basketball enthusiasts, and we look forward to seeing how the rest of the season plays out.#Kai #Sottos #doubledouble #fuels #Hiroshima #rout #Ibaraki #B.League
