We fell to HK U21 tonight. Not something unexpected, they have quality all round, and are in great shape too. That said, they had a surprisingly high number of rebounds despite having a lower rebounding rating. We also surprisingly shot pretty badly from the line, and some underperformers were our best free throw shooters. That has more or less been my problem with the flawed FT system BB implemented because everyone's players got too good at the line with the training court. Now FT training seems like a waste coz everything is so random. That said, we had an undeserved lead after the first, so I guess things kinda evened out.

Yau Kim Hui put up his best NT performance yet, with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists on 50% shooting. Au Huat Long was equally impressive, posting a statline of 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. The only player who dished out more assists than him was Ng Liang Boon, with 6. Meanwhile, Li Wai Soon was effective in the post with 11 rebounds and 2 blocks. He narrowly missed out on a double-double as he only managed to score 9 points.

Let's hope our boys will be in better shape next week.

is a good fight!. if we really win is a surprise🤣

Hahaha, yea. I was also surprised with the early lead. But then the whole game fell apart in the next quarter. Too fast. Hahaha

Our boys returned to their winning ways tonight after an exhilarating 90-75 win over Thailand U21. It was pretty smooth sailing through most of the game, however the Thais put up a fight in the third and almost took the lead in the third. Thankfully, we came out tops thanks to an all round effort from our boys, with 3 people posting double-doubles. Lim Long Kok led the team in scoring as he put up 18 points,10 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block. Li Wai Soon also had a good game, with 17 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. He shot an efficient 8 of 10 from the field, but had a hard time from the charity stripe, only hitting 1 shot out of 4. Loo Rong Liang's return to the starting lineup saw him post a statline of 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists. Ng Liang Boon was the only starter with an off shooting night with an abysmal 20% field goal percentage, but he tried his best to contribute in other areas. He was solid on defense, blocking 2 shots and picking up 1 steal. He also contributed 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

We face Vietnam U21 next week. They are arguably the toughest team we will face, so our boys will have to be prepared.

Philippine and Australia will big challenge for your next round.
You need to decide you will play next round with which team P or A?
(You can choose 2nd? 3rd or 4th? in this group)
Depend on you want facing China or Taiwan? That will be help you next level up or not.
Good luck bro.

Bro you are right. Looks like the placement decider came too early. PH and Aussie aren't too different so either is fine. I'm actually hoping to avoid Malaysia, but then Lebanon seems stronger than HK. I guess I'll decide how things go over the weekend.

All as well bro!!! Fighting ✊🏽

Ah, feels great to bask in superiority. 6 players with proficient game shape, the Vietnamese couldn't bring us down despite going CT and getting 1 GDP right. It was a rather meaningless game for us since the point difference gap between us and South Korea U21 was too big, but apparently it was do or die for them, as now they risk dropping out of the top 4.

They had a chance to snatch the game after using hack-a-Shaq strategies and draining 2 consecutive clutch 3s (ironically they have been missing them throughout the game), but a pair of clutch free throws by Ng Liang Boon in the dying seconds totally dashed their hopes of a comeback as our boys edged them out 78-82.

Li Kim Choon stepped up his game after Liang Bingnan had to exit the game due to injury, and he performed admirably with 17 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds. We also had 3 other players in double figures - Lim Long Kok (17 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals), Toh Choon Wah (16 points 12 rebounds), and Li Wai Soon (14 points 20 rebounds 4 assists and 2 blocks).

Our next two games will be against Australia U21 and Philippines U21. Expect us to lose both, but let's hope our boys manage to put up a great fight!

HAHAHAHAHA IMAGINE ENDING MY LAST POST WITH THIS SENTENCE!!!

I'm proud of the performance of our boys tonight. Yes we were down by 8 in the 1st. Down by 19 by halftime. But we actually clawed back and cut the lead to 5 close to the end of the 4th. Sadly that was the closest we were to causing an upset as our Filipino counterparts ended the night with a well deserved dub. Still satisfied with the result tho, it shows that we could probably have stolen the game if it was played on a different attitude (tho there was no need to).

Lim Long Kok led our boys with 23 points, however he was pretty inefficient from the field, shooting at 35% and hitting only 1 of his 6 three point attempts. Toh Choon Wah also had a pretty inefficient night, hitting only 36% from the field and getting into foul trouble. However he had by far the best +/- among the starters, and finished the game with 10 points and 11 rebounds. Li Wai Soon continued his stellar performance with a double-double as well, putting in 19 points,12 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Next week will be the last game of the round. Will Li Wai Soon hit 100 rebounds of the season in the next game? He's just 11 short, and if he keeps up his performance, it shouldn't be too far fetched.

A two game losing streak here, this time we didn't lose as well as the last game. We were inferior on all fronts but were lucky enough to stay in the game thanks to a huge amount of free throw attempts.

Yau Kim Hui led the team with 21 points on 8 of 15 shooting, while Toh Choon Wah put up a magnificent double double with 16 points and 10 rebounds. He also rejected 4 shots, and all of them came early on in the game. Li Wai Soon continued to be dominant in the paint with 13 rebounds and 6 blocks. He also put up 8 points in an efficient 4 of 6 shooting. This game saw him break 100 rebounds and just 6 points off 100 points for this season.

Second round schedule is finally out, we face Indonesia U21 next. Let's hope everything goes smoothly!

87-85 was great! Hope you can win either PHI or HK.
Keep going bro, well done.

NT got No.30, luckily got ticket to play off. But difficult to pass over. All as well!!!

Cheers Bro!!!
