First loss of the season against Hong Kong, we fought hard being one point behind at the beginning of the 4th quarter. It was Wally Victor's first game and despite being one year younger, he showed he belongs here.
Next game will be against Taiwan, probably the best team of the group with 4 high salary inside players. We will try to surprise them as this is the only way we can do something. The result of this game won't affect our ranking, we will finish #3 of the group as the last game should be an easy win against the weak Macau team. In fact, as the next phase is drawn, it is better for us to finish #3 than #2.
What is interesting is that a unusual team will qualify for next round as Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia have a win and UAE has two. In pool A, Vietnam should qualify with India leaving New Zealand without a second round for the first time in a long time. In pool C, China did a forfeit and is currently ranked #4 with 2 games left and the same W/L ratio than Iran and Indonesia. If China finishes #3, we should avoid them while if they finish #2, we should play them in the next group phase.
