KL Open Update : Ex-UM v PSBT (today)

By tip-off time, there were only 5 players : myself, Sem AwYong, Cheong Kok Leong, Ming Lip and Chee Ching Lew! Gan Chin Phang as usual arrived at tip-off. Bik Yih arrived shortly after. But our starting 5 had a fantastic start, going on a 16-2 run to start, before settling for a 9 point 1st Quarter lead (22-13). We traded baskets for awhile at the start of the 2nd quarter before going on another big run to take our lead to 27 points (47-20) at halftime! At the start of the 3rd Quarter, PSBT went on a mini run of their own with a couple of 3 pointers, cutting our lead to 20, but we responded with another BIG run to take our lead back up to even higher - a 38 point lead (73-35) after 3 Quarters. After that, we were able to cruise to the final buzzer. Final score : 92-51. Ching had his usual strong game with 31 points and Sem had MANY assists on good passes (while scoring 10 points as well). I chipped in 12 points, Ming Lip with 10 points, Phang with 6 points and Bik Yih with 6 points (including a 3 point play) but the big surprise was Leong who played substantial minutes, played good defense, was active on half court offense and ran the full court on every fast break, scoring 14 points for the game! Leong attending the last 2 Ex-UM practice / friendly vs 5th college really showed its benefits and effect! Well done Leong and all Ex-UM players who played today! Cheers, Coach LY
