Sunday Dec 18, 2011 - Only 7 players attended today's game : myself,Poh Guan, Ming Lip, Thierry Tan Chin Chuan, Chee Ching Lew, Cheong Kok Leong and Jeffrey Ng (Hung). Opponent (Forged Racing) was a young team with reasonable skill and ability. Their 212 zone was very aggressive and active, causing many deflections and a few steals / turnovers, Still our man-to-man defense gave them trouble and we finished the 1st quarter ahead 15-9.
They started the 2nd quarter well and went on a mini run with several 3 pointers to take a small 15-20 lead. From there we settled down and our steady man-to-man defense eventually wore them down. By half time, we managed to regain a slim 25-24 (having lost the 2nd quarter 10-15).
The 3rd and 4th quarter saw our man-to-man defense just wear them downand as they got tired, their 212 zone defense was no longer as tough or active and we started beating them even in half court offense. We won the 3rd and 4th quarters 18-19 and 16-4, allowing us to finish with a final score of 59-36.
Whilst our defense was good, our offense (which only generated 59 points) seems a bit lacking. Hopefully it was because we were missing 2 of our high scorers in Phang and Sem. Which also means attendance tomorrow for our next game is important!!
Well done Ex-UM!
