Nearly a month into the new B. League season, it's already quite clear that parity among teams is a defining characteristic of the 2019-20 campaign.
Consider the following: Only two teams have one loss through Wednesday (the Sunrockers Shibuya, who are 5-1, and the 7-1 Kawasaki Brave Thunders), while 12 of 18 first-division clubs have already amassed two, three, four or five defeats.
Meanwhile, the San-en NeoPhoenix, who have plagued by injuries, are still vying for their first victory. They fell to 0-8 on Wednesday night.
