They also hit just 3-of-10 from the free throw line, leaving points on the table in a game that got away fast.
We Dont Pass attacked downhill relentlessly, pouring in 20 made twos on 44 attempts and living at the rim. They ignored the three entirely, going 0-of-6 from distance, and didn't need it. weijun zou (#76) paced the offense with 8 points on 4-of-10, while Player-16 added 7 with a pair of steals, and Player-26 chipped in 6 points and 3 steals of his own. Player-54 quietly caused chaos with 4 points, 3 boards, and 3 steals.
For Shaolin, Player-2 was the bright spot, going 4-of-5 from the field and burying both his threes for 10 points and 5 boards. Player-10 added 6 behind a pair of triples, and gabriel au (#11) finished with 5, but the offense never had a chance to find rhythm.
The rebounding battle stayed close, 22-18 in favor of We Dont Pass, but the turnover gap and the free throw disparity (Shaolin shot 30% from the line) told the whole story. We Dont Pass moves to 2-1 on the season, Shaolin drops to 1-1.
Team takeaways
- Three positives to build on. First, the team showed discipline on defense with only 6 personal fouls, indicating controlled and smart defensive rotations. Second, defensive rebounding was a clear strength with 15 defensive boards, showing effort on the glass to end opponent possessions. Third, three-point shooting was effective at 40 percent, demonstrating that when the team gets clean perimeter looks they can knock them down. The coaching staff should emphasize keeping this defensive intensity and continue running sets that generate these open threes.
- Three areas needing urgent attention. First, the 29 turnovers are absolutely catastrophic and the single biggest reason for the loss, this must be addressed in practice with ball-handling drills, decision-making scenarios, and off-ball movement to reduce hero-ball possessions. Second, only 2 assists on 9 made field goals reveals a complete lack of ball movement, the offense is far too stagnant and predictable, we need to install more dribble handoffs, off-ball screens, and weak-side actions to create flow and easy looks. Third, free throw shooting at 30 percent is unacceptable and cost critical points, every player needs to log extra reps at the line and we should simulate pressure-free throw situations in practice to build muscle memory. Additionally, zero blocks and only 3 offensive rebounds show we are getting outworked in the paint, requiring a stronger emphasis on box-out fundamentals and help-side rim protection.
- Three positives to build on. First, the defensive pressure was outstanding with 13 steals, showing aggressive on-ball defense and active hands that disrupted the opponent all game long. Second, offensive rebounding was dominant with 12 offensive boards, giving the team valuable second-chance opportunities and extra possessions. Third, two-point shooting efficiency at 45.5 percent was solid, and ball security was much better than the opponent with only 12 turnovers. The coaching staff should be proud of the defensive identity and the relentless energy on the offensive glass, these are foundational strengths to preserve and build upon.
- Three areas needing attention despite the win. First, the team shot 0 for 6 from three-point range, opponents will eventually scout this and pack the paint if we cannot space the floor, we need to dedicate shooting time in practice and create more catch-and-shoot three opportunities through better ball and player movement. Second, only 6 assists on 20 made field goals, fittingly reflected in the team name, indicates too much isolation play, we need to install more set plays that involve multiple touches and encourage players to swing the ball to find the open man. Third, free throw shooting at 33 percent is a major concern that could cost us in close games, every player should log extra reps at the line and we should incorporate pressure-simulation drills. Additionally, only 10 defensive rebounds is a leak we cannot afford against stronger second-chance teams, so reinforcing box-out techniques in transition defense must be a priority.
