After our very successful run in Sultan Cup Subang Zone (where Ex-UM emerged Champions), there was a break of 2 weeks before our next game (in KL Open vs KBT and in Sultan Cup Inter Zone vs TNS). Unfortunately I was overseas during these 2 weeks (for work) and was not able to arrange any practices. The 2 week lay-off showed as we resumed our season in poor form, losing to KBT 54-64 (with respect, a winnable game) and 3 days later, losing again to TNS 74-82 (again, a winnable game).
However, as is usual for Ex-UM, the more we play, the better we play. Our play against TNS was better than our play against KBT and last night, we played our 3rd game (after the 2 week break) against Chinese Media in KL Open, where we further improved our play. A tough game throughout, we found ourselves trailing early (24-30 at half time) before we finally regained some of our old form to close the gap in the 3rd quarter (42-40 after 3 quarters). The game remained close throughout the 4th quarter and even though our usual main player, Phang, fouled out, we finally pulled away late in the game (with a couple of critical 3 point shots (by me!), a couple of critical 3 point plays (by Ching), a critical steal (by Jack) and great focus and defense all round!) for a well earned 59-52 win.
Our play continue to improve but we are still not back to our Sultan Cup Subang Zone "Championship" form yet. Worse, our next game is 13 November, another 2 week break! It is therefore important that we (Ex-UM) continue to have practices these next 2 weeks to keep our form up.
With our win last night, our win-loss record now stands at 15-4! Well done Ex-UM.
