Well....that was a nail biter. With a bunch of missed FT's and two late 3's by Lubnan, it was a scary finish. They put in more effort but I have to tip my hat, they tried the 3 big attack and it worked for most of the game. Where it back fired was they had low OD on Murata and he scored 26. OK...Let's it to it..
The only change from last game was that I started Mastuyama, I had to go with the better GS. And he responded I thought.
GAME BALLS..
Haga gets it....Wow!! 9-15 from the floor, hit a 3 and all 4 of his FT's and 4 boards and assist. 23 points is only two from his career high...Well done lad.
Bench beast award goes to Jialian...12 points in 15 minutes....If Haga ever falls in GS, Jialian will step in nicely.
And Mr. Murata...26 points and some huge buckets down the stretch. He didn't shoot so well but he did score a bunch.
Well....let's just hope for a good Christmas training update, because if we win next week we are through to the next round.
