NZ 105
India 99 :)

It was a very close game. I wasn't able to watch it due to work but the boys have done well and they came up with a win over a very strong Indian team. On paper we were the underdogs but we showed everyone not to underestimate the strength of our small nation. I would say we got the win because we weren't scared to attack the basket 23FT attempts to their 9FT

Gandi Farhan with a monster game 48PTS with 54%FG. He carried the team in the offensive end with the help of Stacey Searles who had 23PTS, 9RB and 8AST, an allround performance from the veteran. Haimona Ng grabbed 18RB and 7 of them were offensive ones and also chipped in with 13PTS.

My only concern with the team is our injuries. 3 players had to sit out because of injuries. I am expecting Wally to be back next week after missing 3 NT games. He will be a good addition for the team.

So now we are 2-1 in the tournament. The next 3 match-ups are gonna be a real test for us, with China coming up next week and then Nippon and finally the Aussies the week after.

Points for MVP of the team for this week:
Gandi Farhan - 3
Stacey Searles - 2
Haimona Ng - 1

Points so far:
1. Gandi Farhan - 9
2. Stacey Searles - 5
3. Haimona Ng - 3
4. David Kipling - 1

All I can say is we got smashed by the Chinese team.

China 116
NZ 60 :(

All I can say is that we never had to chance going in but I thought the boys would of have at least given a good fight. It was hard to single out any player this round because everyone played the same. Nothing outstanding but I am standing behind these boys.

Gandi Farhan and Haimona Ng led the team in scoring with 13PTS each. No one else even had double figures.

I am speechless!

There wont be any points given to anyone this week for the Team MVP award.

Points so far:
1. Gandi Farhan - 9
2. Stacey Searles - 5
3. Haimona Ng - 3
4. David Kipling - 1

Now we are sitting at 2-2. We need a record of at least 4-2 to grantee a spot in the next round. I will do my best to achieve this target.

Yeah I would have been dreaming to get a win against China but we got smashed the points difference is not that good now. Yeah.

I know and now I am regretting TIEing the game against UAE.

An heart breaking loss against Japan.

Japan 88
NZ 65

We lost the game in the 1st 1/4 where they put 31PTS to our 14 while all the other quarters were close. The game shape is a concern for the team. I am gonna be having a chat with all the managers with bad GS in the next couple of days.

Stacey Searles let the team in scoring with 28PTS while Wally Granner had a double double 11PTS and 10AST. Only 2 players with double digit scoring. This is the 2nd week in a row where only 2 players have had more than 10PTS.

Points for this week:
Stacey Searles - 3
Wally Granner - 2
Abhirup Zahra - 1

Now we are sitting at 2-3 and UAE is a head of us because of +/- and we play Australia next round, while UAE play India.

2 NZ NT players are on the transfer market both bigs and 22YO it would be awesome if they could stay in NZ
