Yip Su Yeng buzzerbeater shot brought Singapore a narrow win over Japan.

Much more looked lost, and less enthusiastic, Singapore almost suffer their fourth.

Down 67-71 in a minute to go, Mohd Syamsuri Ahmad just came alive. After a offesive rebound tip in, he then swished two freethrow to tie the game at 71-71. Next Japan possession, he forced a quick turnover from Fumiko Okamaya to set up the final possesion for Singapore. As two Japanese played doubled Syamsuri, he quickly flipped the ball to Yip Su Yeng and Yip converted the tough under ring shot as the buzzer horned. Syamsuri raised his palm to the air, and gave the team Captain a chest bump. Whole team congratulate Yip for the shot.

Syamsuri Ahmad led Singapore with 20pts and 7rebs, followed by Yip 15pts but only shot 5/15 FG. Other than the clutch fourth quarter, the earlier quarters were a disaster. Less ball movement, no execution. Li Jin Yew didn't make those shots that he usually made, and finished only 4/13 FG and 15 rebounds.

Singapore will be back to face their rival Malaysia U21 on the last Tournament match next week.

Malaysia got the best of Singapore, won 87-73 to close the Tournament.

With captain on the bench, team Malaysia didn't waste the chance.

Ekram brothers scored 25 and 20pts respectively, overpowered smaller lineup of Singapore at 4th quarter to to solidfy their victory 87-73.

Trailed 10 pts after intermission, Singapore buckled up defense and managed to tie up 55-55 after 3rd quarter, but Malaysian big lineup were too much for them.

Pretty much aware Malaysia will use 2/3, Singapore decided to go with smaller lineup with Deng Jin Yau and Syamsuri Ahmad on the frontline that designed for isolation towards two slowfooted opponent bigmen. However, Ahmad had mediocre game, and Deng bricked his jumpshot at most at 4th quarter, and was subject to mismatch against bigger Ekram bin Saad.

Li Jin Yew led Singapore with 16pts and 16rebs. Ahmad scored 14, Deng and Fan Pingwai scored 12.

With their latest result, Singapore finished tournament with 1 win and 5 losses. And will be focusing again for next season Tournament.
