South Vietnam basketball team has the 2nd win at SEA Games 31

On May 17, the South Vietnamese basketball team had the second match in the group stage of 5×5 basketball with the opponent Singapore. This is the opponent that coach Kevin Yurkus and his team overcame at the last meeting, at the 30th SEA Games with a difference score. This time, however, things were not so easy.

The Singapore team entered the game with confidence, with the precise finishing ability of stars like Russell Low, Forkoff or Lim, while the Vietnamese team showed signs of pressure. The poor finishing ability along with being caught up in the opponent’s play made the red shirt team lead to a 10-point gap at some points in the match.

At the end of the match, the Vietnamese team had an emotional comeback to overcome the opponent from the Lion Island with an 86-83 victory. After this match, the Vietnamese team will have a day off before the match against the defending champions of the SEA Games – Philippines.
