New Zealand (81 vs Malaysia (122) (54065)A huge 41 point loss against Malaysia to start off our journey in the second round of the Asia U21 Championship Tournament.
Game Analysis:A huge factor that factored into the big point differential was the GDP guesses that I got wrong. I made it based on the trends of the offenses they had played so far in this tournament, as well as in the past. It was my fault and I will own up to it. We ended the game well, scoring 30 points and only conceding 32 in the 4th quarter. Both Clint Ward and Harvey Piper led in the scoring for our team and did their job fantasically throughout the night. Malaysia were just a better team and deserved the win.
Key Players:1. Clint Ward: 23 points and 7 rebounds from the PF position.
2. Harvey Piper: 16 points and 11 rebounds from the C position.
3. Neerim Larbi: 11 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists from the SF position.
Next Game:Against Indonesia. A team that have been continental semi finalists in three occasions in the past.
