I'm really looking forward to it because I haven't had a chance to play in Japan since I graduated from high school.

Keio Tominaga, ace shooter for Japan's men's national team, on the physical modifications that supported his evolution: "Thanks to them, my range of p

One player who drew particular attention was Keisei Tominaga of the University of Nebraska. In his second year at Nebraska, which he joined as a transfer, Tominaga played in 32 games last season, averaging 13.1 points and 40% success rate on 3-point shots per game, a step up from the previous year (average 5.7 points and 33% success rate on 3-point shots). The University of Nebraska belongs to the BIG10 Conference, the most powerful conference in the country. The team improved from a 4-16 record the previous year to a 9-11 record, and Tominaga was a driving force behind that improvement. Tominaga is expected to be the ace shooter for Japan, and the upcoming game against Chinese Taipei will be his first game for the national team since his breakthrough performance last season. Tominaga is also looking forward to the game against Chinese Taipei, as it will be his first game for Japan since his breakthrough performance last season. I want to show off my 3-point shot, which is my weapon," he said, referring to his first game in Japan with an audience in a long time. I really enjoy playing with Yuki Kawamura, who has attracted a lot of attention," he said. "It is very stimulating to see players of my age playing well (Kawamura's B League MVP).

To make further progress, "I need to raise my level one or two more levels in areas other than shooting.

A major factor in Tominaga's success last season was the strengthening of his physical strength. He has been working hard since March, when the college season ended, and he feels that he is getting a great response. I want to improve my agility and power, but my main goal is to gain weight. I have increased the number of meals I eat to five or six a day. Compared to last year's national team training camp, I have gained a little over 10 kg, but I have no problem moving around. I don't get beat up on the defensive end anymore. Offensively, I am now able to shake off the mark of my opponents even when they bump me. I am told that my off-ball movement has improved a lot compared to last year. For Tominaga, who has his sights set on becoming an NBA player, playing well against the world's best at the World Cup in August will be important for raising his profile in his final college season, which begins after the tournament. He said that while he is a high-percentage 3-point shooter, he realized the importance of improving his accuracy in other areas during a workout with the Pacers that he participated in before his draft entry was withdrawn. At my height (188 cm), I need to improve my playmaking, assists, defense, and other aspects of my game besides shooting. The team has just started, and the next game against Chinese Taipei will not be a complete team in many aspects, such as coordination. Even so, I expect Tominaga to make a difference with his individual abilities. This is clearly not too much to ask, given his performance last season, as well as his more muscular body.
