The first loss of our season... :(
We attempted a different defense and offense against Jurong Sec; going to the 3-2 zone and adding a baseline cut for the wings. The purpose of the 3-2 zone was to prevent their drives by providing lots of help defense. However, there was a few problems when we executed this defense. Firstly, with our starting centre, Bryan, spraining his ankle in the second quarter, our bigs were no longer that big. We allowed their centre, #15, to have his way in the paint; getting countless number of offensive rebounds. Secondly, Jurong manage to knock down a couple of 3 pointers, to our dismay.
Perhaps it was because Jurong was more prepared than us, or perhaps it was because we were just not energetic enough. Nevertheless, our defense was "the worst in the season" (as quoted from Coach Lim), and we did not score a single point in the third quarter.
Hopefully we will still be able to proceed to the semi finals despite this lose. That we can't control. What we can control is to win the next game tomorrow against Yishun Sec by more than 15 points.
1st Quarter--RI 15 JS 18
2nd Quarter--RI 13 JS 13
3rd Quarter--RI 0 JS 9
4th Quarter--RI 13 JS 16
