bangai HRA that extra pass is sted and

stolen hold on the attack good pass

Scotty extra pass to aan Mei layup is

gone even with that Collision against

karakot already got one against the

Blackwater bossing in their last game as

Aaron poer goes back to his main

hesitation kayen

Chon no quick pass to clarito Jon

hesitated goes on the drive another open

three money again this time from jonard

clarito and just like that Rainer shine

is back in business this is but they

definitely made the right decisions as

abarientos gets it right back with his

own

three good pass Fuller down low well

defended this time but

Fuller takes care of it on the second

try much different look for rers shine

with their starters and Aaron Fuller

immediately makes an impact with the

slam japet oh block by jonard clarito

reeners Shine On The Run Fuller attacks

and Fuller just moves the defense of HRA

to score

again again trying to go on the Run LTI

will launch from downtown it's gone as

they open the second half with eight

straight points be fit for juty once

again jumper good for Gabe Norwood first

basket of the ball

game aan Mei pushing Scotty goes middle

Scotty all the way

mamak had the ball swiped away from him

Scotty is ahead Thompson assist Brown

Lee and this will be an n one off a foul

from

clarito turnovers lead to easy baskets

and then Scotty Thompson with the assist

pass there to Justin brownley not not

the picture perfect execution of a fast

BL but uh very effective still for

Thompson one-onone against mamuya

Scotty fakes the pass and then shoots

over the defense three-point lead for

hbra pleas be a factor

offensively oh hold Wiggles free still

could not buy a basket AI is there on

the second

opportunity what that was just all

effort on his part oh but a brave attack

on the other side from jonard clarito

aaro swings it to brownley another three

why not JB 30 points in the game already

this point he's always he always tries

to focus on how to improve on his

strengths just as much as his weaknesses

such as driving the open lanes running

Transitions and penetrating shine

through well we have yet to find out as

we continue on in this quar now back to

you guys more Aaron Fuller here in the

third

quarter Defender down clarito stops and

connects as we have

abarientos open from deep and connects

once again I don't understand why Fuller

going under the screen twice that's the

second time they did

it interesting

defense RJ abarientos finds himself wide

open and he converts on another

three the Olympics played well in this

third

quarter wide open look here from marj

that cannot

happen is quite L

player they go up top japet turn around

jumper Banks

hes nard spinto on the left side stops

hits hold from the outside finally a

basket for Steven

Hull

ke misses the gim japet is ahead agilar

lays it up an in

Steven H getting the perfect setup

pass and then

japet initiates the contact against

Leonard Santillan converts the layup as

their lead is back up the double digits

give some personal instructions to only

Sten and jaff and the rest of the guys

not be complacent because there is

still Fuller is a plus five whenever

he's on the floor

so let's see if they can make a run with

him

back Fuller one-hander immediate

impact very frustrating afternoon here

for Lenard Santillan and

hul after being scoreless for a most

part of this game hits two three pointer

here two big ones and it extends their

lead to 13 now sanan goes inside and

gets the N1 and that was exactly the

point I was trying to make because

because again they're gunning for the

number one spot in group b Scotty

Thompson goes to reverse Scotty

Thomson aan Mii left-handed layup is a

miss again brownley is there to clean

things up you're absolutely correct uh

Carlo Euro Step for Scotty th

[Applause]

now a 13-point lead LTI denied by

Thompson and Scotty will go all the

way that's the impact of Scotty Thompson

doing it on both ends of the floor here

for bang double but still the same

impact we are seeing here especially

here in the second half also the

defensive was able to anticipate that

uhoh

brownley okay it's a much morer Defender

extending this lead to its Big H at 17

Scotty asking for some movement brown Le

from the corner for three that's scor

with a

foul he's done that see the the close

out the long close out and then that

that would be the cylinder already of

Justin Brown Lee no other choice really

for the ref making a couple of

three-pointers H making a three-pointer

as well propelling in to that lead

entering the four how about Holt another

three third of the second half for

Steven

H still they were able to invest in a

good

start but still some adjustments needed

from the squad of Coach some key games

for this group ashle okay okay how about

five three-point shots now for stepen

hul it might have definite play of

repercussions as St

hold boy 63 point shots in the second

half he is officially in the zone

here 18 points all

threes sometimes you just get in a

Groove and you feel that every shot will

fall in Steven hold coming alive and

helping bangai

hbra establish this 25o lead against

Rainer shine couple of those shots of

that uh pick and roll play showing us

that he is not just a 3D player he can

create of that pick and roll the game to

game adjustments between the coaches

because we're seeing very different

games for bangai HRA at least in their

second meeting against Blackwater and

rer shin yeah different styles different

strategies and once again coach Tim con

proving to us that he is the master of

that adjustment game
