QS----0-------9-------2-------4
After playing hard and just coming up short last friday against ACS (Barker Road), this game was a test for us to see if we could bounce back. And bounce back we did as we got out to an early lead and never looked back, not trailing for a single minute in the game.
The game started off with us getting steals and running out on the fastbreak, which accounted for most of our points. Even when we did not manage to get fastbreak opportunities, we still got deep into the paint for high percentage shots. This allowed us to score in bunches the moment the game started. In addition to that, we played solid defense, preventing easy cuts by the opponents as they frequently found themselves having to launch a bad shot with no time left on the shot clock. This allowed us to jump out to a huge lead in the first, 24-0, as we took away their confidence in winning the game.
The second quarter however was pretty badly played as after the 5 minute mark of the quarter, it seemed like our offense went stagnant and we could not buy a bucket. Our misses resulted in many fast break opportunities for the opponents which they converted easily. To compound our woes, we turned the ball over a lot from bad passes. This saw us eventually losing the quarter 9-8.
However in the second half, order was restored as we once again got our offense going by feeding the ball to the post players for shots around the hoop. We started to get our own share of fastbreak opportunities once again and thus we continued to extend the lead. In the end, we won the game by 45 points, 60-15.
This game was really a game to get us prepared to play Yu Ying Secondary on Wednesday. With a win, we would be advancing to the semi finals of the South Zone and earn a spot in the Nationals. Stay tuned for more!
