The first game of the second round. We started off with an extremely high intensity on defense. The players on court was constantly communicating with each other while those on the bench provided much support with their reverberating cheers. Naturally, we were able to restrict the opponent to only 4 points in the first quarter.
The same was to be said in the second quarter. We were able to secure most of the defensive rebounds and manage to grab a couple of offensive rebounds too. Furthermore, our offensive was not as stagnant as the last game and all of our key players contributed equally to the 42 points.
However in the third quarter, our intensity went down probably because we were exhausted or because we substituted our key players out of the match. We rushed our offense, making unnecessary turnovers and took untimely shots. Nevertheless, we managed to sealed the victory in the fourth quarter.
An improvement over the last game was that the entire team was talking throughout the game. This allowed us to keep our intensity up, and play our best.
However, every game will be a tough one in the second round of the South Zone competition. Even when we are leading, we still need to keep up the intensity on defense and make our shots on offense, otherwise the opponents might catch up and steal the game from us.
Finally, with 3 games in a short span of 5 days, we definitely need to rest well so that we can give our 100% for each and every game.
