Thanks to our scout Equant (35756). He was the one that helped to design.

we're now down 26-37 to Kazakhstan at halftime,, hope we can bounce back

a 24-11 3rd quarter has brought us to 50-48 lead. Hope we keep this..

Big 2nd half powers Merlions past Kazakhstan 77-68.

The first 2nd quarters were horrifying, but at least they knew how to come back.

Down 26-37 on first half with series of brick shooting night, The Singapore made a quick rally 20-8 behind pair of Lau Chin Jin & Ang Hao Yao on 3rd quarter to take their first lead of the game 46-45. The brilliant team play and defense continues on 4th quarter in spite of their bad shooting night, but they did shut off their opponent as well. Singapore led by only 3 points with a minute to go, but Li An Wen dunk and Chan Da Ah jumper extended the margin. And with pair of Kazakhstan error, Chan Da Ah sink four FT to ice up the victory 77-68.

Ang Hao Yao came off the bench, and led Singapore with 12pts and 11rebs. Li An Wen and Kang Puay Ying has 11, Hamid and Chan Da Ah scored 10. The rest of players saw quite much minutes and blended well with their role.

Kazakhstan were led by Margulan Zholdasov with 17pts and 14rebs. Their famous high scoring PG Valery Bedritskiy, were held to zero FGs with only 3 points total.

Merlions will have tournament off on next week, probably will go for a scrimmage.

Friendly Match : New Zealand topped Singapore 85-79.

Singapore's tactic were clear : evaluating Abdul-Hamid nerve as a dominator. However, he was brickin everything.

NZ took advantages of Hamid's cold first half shooting with 36-33 before Hamid explode with 10 3rd quarter points, but Steve Gillard superb defense brought Hamid back to his first half shooting, and Merlions were trailed 51-61.

At 4th, Merlions turn to Lau Jin Chin & Ang Han Yao to keep them competitive, as LJC keep driving to the basket and drawing fouls, meanwhile Ang Han Yao settle for some jumper and even hit a big three pointer. Lead changes several times, before again NZ Gillard pickpocketed Li Shi Keng for a breakaway dunk, giving NZ 83-79 lead with 20 seconds remaining. LJC shot were blocked by Ervin Dyer on next possession, and after a defensive rebounds, NZ iced the victory with two FT to make it 85-79.

Dyer led NZ with 19pts 13rebs. Haimona Ng had 15pts 9rebs. Abd Hamid led Singapore with 24pts but 12/32 FG. LJC has 18pts 8rebs 4asts and 3stls. 20yo Ang Han Yao was again superb with 16pts 12rebs 2stl 2blks performance.

Singapore will resume Tournament next week, facing strong team Phillipines.

Singapore suffered first defeat of Tournament, 79-97 by Phillipines.

Perhaps not yet, and still miles away for it.

Although with their finest U21 lineup, Merlions still unable to stay pace with one of Asian top team, Phillipines, resulted on 97-79 losses. Juan Umadhay led the Pinoys with 30pts 7rebs and 5blks to ride the easy win over Singapore, completely dominating smaller Lau Jin Chin over the post. The nearest deficit margin Singapore reached were 9 points on 3rd quarter, where Ang Han Yao hit the go ahead 3pointer, make the game 66-75. Although Phillipines bigman Dexter Zulueta went down at 4th quarter, still not enough for Merlions to made up their losses. The most obvious difference on the loss, were the rebounds, where Singapore were outrebounded 36-52. Also, Phillipines converted 23-29 FTs, where Singapore only have 8-14.

Li An Wen, Fong Chang Chao and Lin Chuan Loong all scored 12 pts for Singapore. Fong Chang Chao, the new U21 call out, were fouled out with 8 minutes left on 4th quarter.

Singapore will face Tournament host Taiwan on next week.
