Shiratani's Double-Double Powers Japan Past Venezuela

Chusonjakku Shiratani delivered a dominant performance, posting 20 points and 14 rebounds to guide Japan to a 62-52 victory over Venezuela at the FIBA U17 World Cup.

Japan established a seven-point lead by halftime, 36-29, and extended their advantage to 12 entering the fourth quarter, 53-41, before closing out the win.

Despite shooting just 40% from the field (20/50), Japan capitalised on Venezuela's 25 turnovers and received 20 points from their bench. Venezuela, meanwhile, struggled mightily with their shooting, hitting a mere 4% of their three-point attempts (1/27) and a dismal 39% from the free-throw line (11/28).

Kevin Gutierrez was a bright spot for Venezuela, registering a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to counter Japan's collective effort. Japan made a statement with this convincing tournament win.
