Earlier tonight i was at The Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) watching the basketball game between KL Dragons and Satria Muda. It was a game of the Asean Basketball League, some relatively new league in the region.

To be frank, i’m just like most skeptical Malaysians who doubted local sports team such as the Harimau Malaya soccer team who emerged as champion during the Laos SEA Games 2009. I wasn’t really expecting a lot from this game.

Anyways, on this game itself, KL Dragons against Satria Muda, the first half wasn’t really
convincing, the away team managed to get quite a lot of points under the dragons noses, with not much sweat i must say. Some what 16-18 point gap if i’m not mistaken.
*in a NBA game, a 20 point gap almost means a lost for the weaker side.

However, in the second half, it seems that KL Dragon’s coach have used a different formation with slight changes on how the team play and they were much better then, with more successful counter attacks and less failing attempts, they managed to pull the gap to as close as 8-9 points. I was pretty excited and hyped up in the second half!

Rudy was one KL Dragons player that i had the strongest impression.

The 198cm center player is a bit too weak i must say, need to eat more and grow stronger to withstand the opponent under the hop.

Satria Muda, though having quite a number of cocky players, they played well and were more organized through out the game.

Match ended with Satria Muda winning 69 – 57 KL Dragons.

Oh by the way, bumped into Amanda, Liang and Fugz!
