The opponents for this game was definitely weaker compared to our first 2 games. Nevertheless, we were still focused on the game as a lost would be totally unacceptable.
Our defense for this game was really poor. It is clear that we need to improve on our sliding because we only their player to single-handedly score a lay up after rebounding the ball. We did not force the opponents to the weaker hand and was never once over playing them on their strong hand.
Furthermore, we need to improve on our rebounding. We need to box-out hard, be aggressive and time the rebound. As a shorter team, we cannot expect to out jump the opponent for the rebound. Therefore, if we want to win any basketball game. All 5 players on the court have to box-out and get the rebound.
Remember when playing defense,
- No second chance for the opponent.
- No straight path to the basket for the opponents. Help defense is a must.
Hope to see an improvement in the 2nd round of the Milo Cup Tournament.
