The inaugural B. League championship pits two teams with established stars, deep benches, up-and-coming players, accomplished coaches and growing fan bases.
What¡¯s more, Saturday afternoon¡¯s Kawasaki Brave Thunders-Tochigi Brex showdown presents a clash of styles.
The top-seeded Brave Thunders were the league¡¯s top offense (84.3 points per game) during the regular season, led the 18-team top flight in field-goal shooting percentage (48.4) and were No. 1 in assists (17.7 per game). In other words, coach Takuya Kita¡¯s club is a fine-tuned offensive machine, not unlike a Mercedes zooming along on the German Autobahn.
