2nd day of IBG sees Block C put up another good effort

BBall: VS Block D

2nd day of IBG kicked off with block C guys taking on block D in basketball. Both sides were equally matched in the opening minutes of the match, with block D making first blood with their 2-pointer from left side of the court. With Zhaohui as the point guard, block C equalized and took the lead, albeit for a short moment, as block D stormed to a 12-point lead.

True to the block C fighting spirit, coupled with great individual efforts from the players, block C took the fight to block D's door step, and cut down their comfortable lead to only 2 points, with 5 mins of play time. Panicking, block D made some unforced errors, and block C equalized with 50 seconds of play time left. Sensing that we could stage an upset, block C charged with such gusto only to be disappointed by a exceptional play from block D. In the dying seconds, block C's last attempt at the basket failed and we had to settle for a 18-16 loss to block D.

Although in the end block D claimed the bounty, the game was much closer than what the score suggested. Had it been another day, block C would have triumph.

BBall: VS Block E

2nd match of the day for block C sees the heart of lions within our bball guys. Against block E, we had no answer to the tactically and technically more superior opponents. Block E was dominating from the first second till the last. However, our boys deserve special mention for their effort and their fighting spirit. Lawrence showed great composure and made a couple of baskets in a consistent effort throughout the match. Abhi, for his antics and graceful spinning, jumping out of courts just to keep the ball in. Biao ge, for his superb work rate that never cease to amaze. And the rest of the boys for their belief and spirit.

Although the score of 45-14 is disheartening, we are proud of our basketball guys. They threw everything they had into the game, and in the end they walk tall. Tomorrow is another day, and another chance for block C to shine.

Roll of honor:
Kane(Capt.), Zhaohui, Lawrence, Yuqiao, Biao ge, Tat, Junsheng, CK, Samson, Dominic, Abhi.
