Raffles Institution makes history today in a match played against australian international school , RI lost to AIS(austalian international school) by a mere 1 point game TT. The AIS were impressive , they overcame a 6 point decifit and lead with 9 points(claps)! And i committed 4 fouls in the first quarter ...
Then in the next two quarters , the RI team made a comeback and drew the game at 45-45 in the last few minutes in the third quarter. (woooh!) Then our momentum continued and we started to lead by 3-5 points then i got fouled out. Soon, they took back the lead and continued this 4 points lead till the last 5 secs before our team captain scored a three point at the buzzer to make the score 54-53 but we still lost ( -_- )... throughout the match there were many quarrels between the AIS coach with the referees as the coach claimed that the few calls were unfair. He wouldn't cease until the referees give in. So numerous calls that were supposed to be in our possession we reverted to theirs. That might be the one of the few reasons we lost the match. Our defence throughout the match wasn't tight enough, allowing their points guard #51 to break throught the defence and cut to the basketball. Plus our box out wasn't use efficiently as the AIS dominated the rebounds. And moreover the many fouls commited that got few a of our key players including daniel who tagged this blog fouled out plus the many silly fouls in the last few seconds that got us into foul troubles . first quarter 1 fouled out and the last quarter 2 more got fouled out and most of the players that had played in the game had 3 or 4 fouls. Actually AIS wasn't really strong but these reasons and blunt we made helped them emerged winners in the match . And our most important and pro center sprained his ankle two days ago which made use unable to score more points. He is the main scorer of the team but couldn't take part in the match if not we could have easily cruised over them...  ¶ 8:09 PM
