LIAN FU Restaurant started off their campaign with a win holding off Yun Lee Motor Workshop 65-62 in the curtain raiser of the Aewon Cup 2011 at the Brunei Basketball Association court in Batu Bersurat. Lian Fu had their backcourt carrying much of the load with Jong How Kiat pouring in a game-high of 23 points and Chua Shi Xuan adding 17 points in the victory.
Yong Kui Seng topscored for Yun Lee with 16 points and Koh Wee Chian chipped in 10 points to the losing cause.
Both teams got off to a slow start, experiencing difficulties in adapting to playing the first match of the tournament.

Yun Lee were stagnant on offence and weren't moving the ball around well enough as they trailed 27-36 at halftime.
However, Yun Lee managed to trim the deficit to five points but had their hands full with Jong weaving through their defence to score inside the paint to carry Lian Fu on offence. Read More…
