Singapore kept pace, but Aussies survived 78-66.

Knowing they have no chance against the Kangaroos, Singapore were thinking of playing something different. More body contacts.

The Merlions darefully switches to Inside tactic, throwing Lim Shi Xin, Chang Zhengde and Peh Jian Long to body up the famous Trinh Trinh, Darren Armstrong, Emmet Benaud and Eric Kennedy, resulted in three quarters of tight battle with Australia.

Things got much more interesting when Aussie's Darren Armstrong went down, loosen up the chance for Singapore. But Emmet Benaud still proven too strong for Singapores bigmans, as his big 4th quarter brought Australia to escape from Singapore with 78-66.

Benaud led the team with 20pts and 10reb. Ash Leava with 13pts and 5asts, repeatedly outsmart Singapore's PG in duty, Ahamat Ismail and Abdul Rauf Ishak.

Meanwhile from Singapore, Lim Shi Xin led with 14pts and 7rebs.

Singapore next battle would be New Zealand on next Monday.

Outmuscled, Outhustled, New Zealand beat Singapore 105-95

Singapore nightmare finally exposed out by New Zealand, weak interior plays.

The Lions were ready to face up the rampage of Evan Rose, but instead he was quiet at 1st half and let their speedy PG Wally Granner run the show. Granner shot 11/28 FG en route with his 25pts and 11reb, taking advantage of the Singapore unexpected loose outside defense, dominated the last three quarter to won NZ 105-95.

Wally, not known as his shot ability, really live up his chance on tonight's game. His brilliant game was really affected everyone, Collin Woodley, Gandi Farhan, all of them were showing the blue collar plays that produce first 10 pts on each 3rd and 4th quarter.

Woodley also has a monster game, scored 22pts (8-11) and 14rebs. Evan Rose with 18pts and 9rebs. Gandi Farhan has 15pts 5ast and 6rebs.

Ahamat Ismail led Singapore with 21pts, Chan Teck Yao 15pts. Ishak and Lee Leong Sze has 14 and 12.

With this loss, it's no longer possible Singapore to dream a ticket to semifinals, as the next opponent will be the great China and nemesis Iran.

Bad Luck Ben. I hope so that we will have more luck in next games and next season. We will have good roster after 1-2 season. This 18 yo players are promising. I hope so that we wil build strong squad

Yeah, it happens man. Sometimes we are on upside , and we have to accept the downside moment as well.
I believe start on next season, the future is bright... I hope next season Consolation, we can climb as high as we can.

Great-Wall-Ooped. China buried Singapore 86-60.

Even with their "Yao Ming"-ism giant out, their backup bigmen are still too tough too handle, dominating all the way for their victories 86-60.

Singapore suffered their worst loss on the Tournament, 26 points blow out as they failed to build momentum at 4th after sliced 25pts deficit to 16. Instead, China scored first 12pts on 4th quarter.

The Merlion actually were already shorthanded without Ang Kok Loong, and they are also forced to play without Ahamat Ismail, arguably the best experienced player after Ang.

China 100k mammoth Shi Ping Yi scored 16pts and 16rebs, Sun Xiang Tai has 14 and 9reb before injured on 4th quarter. Zhang Youlun has 14pts.

Chan Teck Yao and Lee Leong Sze led Singapore with 11pts.

Singapore will face Iran on their last Tournament game and will attempt to revenge their heartbreaking loss earlier on the tournament.

Balanced attack lead Singapore team to win over Iran 106-97


Although the dream has been stranded, at least they got the revenge.

Led by Goh Wen Shun, the Merlions avenged their bitter loss to Iran on early season with 106-97 after 3 quarter of tight battle. Iran were supposed to drag it away on 3rd and 4th, but thanks to Lee Leong Sze & Goh Wen Shun hot hands, they got it back on track.

Iran's Alireza Dirbaz and Abbas Jafarkani scored 20pts, Hamoun Amini has 19. Meanwhile Goh and Lee led Singapore with 16pts, Ishak and Ling Feng Kong with 12 and 11pts, Leng Weijiang, Ismail and Li Sze Ming scored 10pts.

With this victory, Singapore finished 5th on Pool E, and will look forward to prepare for next season Consolation Tournament

I hope so that we will be stronger next season and season after next. I hope so to win Asia Tournament soon.

We will be able, if we can manage to form up Group of team, to train season 17 of new draftee. So at season 19, will be our world.

Thx, really hate to see potential player been purchase by other team, n put them as backup, it's a waste.
