the end of the match
In the second half of the game, they gradually caught up, but in the end, Yokohama Excellence showed their mettle and lost a close game. The team did not get their first win in the opening round.
However, they showed that they can compete well against a strong opponent, Yokohama Excellence, and I have high hopes that Tokushima Gambaroos can achieve their goal of "promotion to B2 within 2 years".

At the end of the event, the players circled the court and greeted the boosters. I took a series of photos of the players as they passed in front of me.
Thus ended the first battle of the Tokushima Gambaroos.
The parking lot was extremely crowded. I had no choice but to wait in the car while writing this article until the crowding subsided enough for the security guards to pull out.
After the game, I waited for about an hour before going home.
