RI 67 - 66 Guangyang

This match was a very close and exhausting match and we only managed to win by a narrow margin. Our intensity was not as high as our previous match and our defense was not very good in the 1st quarter. We failed to deny their key player and had little help side defense, allowing the enemy to cut to the basket easily. We also had way too many fouls(24).

In the 2nd quarter we managed to play slightly better defense and offense. The game was still very close and we trailed behind by 3 points. However we manage to out score them in the 3rd quarter, making the score 41- 41. In the 4th quarter both teams fought hard to win the game but ended up with a tie 56 - 56 leading to overtime(OT).

In OT we managed to maintain our composure and concentration, play out our plays on the offensive end and secure our basket on the defensive end, allowing us to win. We also faced 2 difficulties in this match. No.1 2 of our key players were fouled out. No.2 another 2 of our players were injured.
