Teams Preview
Veltex Shizuoka
Shizuoka return home desperate for a spark after a difficult campaign that leaves them 7th in the Western Conference with a 3–17 record and just a 16 percent win rate. Their recent form paints a bleak picture, with five straight defeats against Shinshu, Fukushima, and Yokohama, including a competitive but ultimately unsuccessful 73–68 loss to Excellence in their most recent outing.
The Veltex average 66.4 points per game, relying on Tim Schneider (12.8 points), Angus Brandt (11.3), and Chris Ebou Ndow (10.9) to shoulder most of the scoring load.
Defensively, they concede around 83–84 points per game, and while their rebounding numbers, 34.8 boards per night with Brandt and Schneider leading the way, are respectable, they struggle to contain high-powered offenses over four quarters.
Yokohama Excellence
Yokohama Excellence arrive in Shizuoka with confidence, sitting 4th in the Eastern Conference at 11-9 and trending upward after four wins in their last five games. Their recent run features impressive victories over Kagoshima and Kobe, as well as the recent 73-68 road win at Shizuoka, where their composure in the closing minutes proved decisive.
Offensively, Excellence are one of the most entertaining teams in B2, averaging 83.5 points per game behind the prolific Tray Boyd III (27.4 points), supported by Elyjah Williams (14.1) and Zack Moore (9), giving them a potent perimeter attack.
They limit opponents to roughly 66-67 points per contest and dominate the glass with 35.3 rebounds per game, anchored by Williams at 8.9 boards and Benjamin Lawson at 7.9, ensuring they control both tempo and second-chance opportunities.
