Our team displayed better offensive movement in this match. The habit of passing and moving into the appropriate position is one that needs to be learned through more group drills.
Our girls won their opening game against Hujiang High School with a final score of 45-41. Hujiang High School is the feeder team for the Women's Super Basketball League (WSBL) team Tai Yuen.
Coach Tan's post-game comments:
"The team, made up of relatively new-comers to the senior squad, had its first taste of international competition in Hualien yesterday against Hujiang High School, one of the top teams in Chinese Taipei. They are a well-trained team and played an aggressive full court press."
The final day of the HPB Invitational ended on a controversial note as the 3rd-4th placing match descended into bedlam, overshadowing the gold-medal match up between the Shanxi Zhongyu and Taiwan Beer, which, incidentally, had been a one-sided affair with Shanxi Zhongyu winning 102-69.
The 3rd-4th placing game between the Yulon Dinos and Kyung Hee University bordered on travesty as the game played out with a 1-on-4 situation in the closing three minutes after a flurry of ejections, leaving Kyung Hee with only one player left to play and Yulon with only four.
Although the final score was 64-94 in favour of the Yulon Dinos, this final match for Malaysia in the HPB Invitational allowed the team to end the tournament on a good note. The two objectives the team set before the game, namely: to score more than the previous two games, and not to let the opponents break the century mark, had been met.
