Exiled in Japan since this summer, Yannis Morin (2.08 m, 31 years old) is flourishing more and more in Akita. While he has had a double-double since his arrival (11.9 points at 48%, 10.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists), he has already achieved several interesting performances such as when he came close to the triple -double against the Saga Ballooners (10 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists on October 19), the Martinican signed his benchmark match in the B-League on Sunday.
The Japanese championship system offers two matches in one weekend against the same opponent. Thus, on Saturday, the former Roanne interior did not weigh heavily on Shimane (9 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists) and his Happinets sank (71-93). Enough to sting him since he reacted superbly 24 hours later, compiling unequaled statistics for him in Japan so far: 22 points at 9/13, 14 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 interception for 34 ratings in 29 minutes . And if Akita did not win, his team was much more competitive than the day before (91-95). Next meeting for Morin and his team this weekend, with a double confrontation against the Chiba Jets, co-leaders of the championship.
