Aussies smash Philippines in key match

It was a game both teams needed to win to get off to a good start in Pool D of the Asian Tourney. After a few interactions mid week from the opposition, it was clear that Philippines were desperate for the win. The game started off with flair, as the Aussie couldnt miss, finding themselves 16-4 early in the first. The game evened up by half time as the lead was reduced to 1. Philippines heavy ended team started to show as they flexed inside, drawing more fouls on the Aussie guards. TP fouled out with 5 mins to go, but the damage had been done.

For us, FG% was a massive stat, shooting above 50% for the match. Our assist count was also through the roof, dominating the passing stat 29-15

MVPs
3. Noel Seers- Seers was almost the 13th man tonight. In response to the discussion, he came in with 4-7 fg, and a whopping 8 assists from SG, a position that the team is really looking for a player to make their own. Defensively, Seers kept his man to 4-19fg. the extra 12 misses in the SG position was key to our win.
2. TP- top scoring, 5 assists, 50% FG.
1. Christian- 6-10fg including 2 3pters. Defensively he and R Mac Jnr shut down the opposition to 6-17.

Great win, well done to managers for their game shape management. Keep the training mail coming in!


It will be interesting to see how it all unfolds from here, with Taiwan playing Philippines next week.

You probably could have included yourself in the votes as it was a really gutsy and intuitive move to GDP them the way that you did

thanks for the game and the kind words. Now go smash Taiwan!!

Great win....very well coached and a brilliant all round team effort......our passing was a highlight if we continue to throw the ball like that we are going to be extremely hard to beat....awesome work everyone

Great work and you are starting to develop a good reputation as a NT coach so keep it up.

Tip off for Aussie v Malaysia is in 2 hours. Be sure to check in to see how our countries managers have been progressing our young stars of the future.

I believe this is an important game. So important, I think you've underdone the reminders a bit. 5 posts would have been more appropriate.
