Game 3 against DNA Blue was U6
BC's last and final game in their Sin Chew Cup under 13 final round. This game was only for pride as they were already out by the end of the second match, loosing to
Aramis. They started today's game with a new line up with 3 guards and 2 centers. The guards were
Guan Sian(
PCH), Jason, and Aaron and at low post stands Gavin while high post was played by
Jia Wei(
PCH).
They did
not get of to a good start loosing the quarter loosing by 18 points. They only had 2 points in this quarter with
Jia Wei scoring an easy basket. In the first quarters U6BC were called for 3 ID fouls because of that, they got 4 free throws
Ang from DNA hit all the four free throws. The second quarter was also another
disappointing quarter scoring only 4 points. The score after the first half was 30 - 6.
After the 2 minute half time break, they went out with a stronger mentality and changed their strategy in defense because there were no more ID fouls. They played a full court 2 - 2 - 1 press which caused DNA to make a few turnover but unfortunately our players did not take full advantage of the turnover's by their opponent to get back into the game. They (U6BC) also tried their diamond zone defence once their full court trap was broken up. They did managed to keep DNA from scoring but
wasn't enough to stop both their star players
Lim and
Tai from scoring. U6BC lost the quarter by 7 points.
By the fourth quarter, DNA put the game to bed already. DNA trying to play their game but U6BC fought back to play a fast game in the last quarter to try to make the score difference lower. It was their first time they managed to get double digit for points in this quarter. They still lost the game 61 - 22.
Jia Wei, was on top form scoring 11 of the points almost half of the team's score.
Guan Sian had a good performance today too. He is really good and talented for a young player only aged 12. Anyway its a good job guys. All played well. We have to train harder and practice more to be better next year. And thanks to
Jia Wei and
Guan Sian for helping our team.
