📝 Game Summary

The Monarchs’ victory tonight fully demonstrated the formidable strength they possess after their successful offseason acquisitions. New shooter Ho Chun Ming (#99) developed excellent chemistry with team cornerstone Bernard Dulnuan (#22), as the pair combined for 35 points and completely tore through the opponent’s defense. The team performed at an extremely high level on both offense and defense: a 44.4% three-point percentage, a 75% free-throw percentage, 16 steals, and only 12 turnovers—every single statistic was far superior to their opponent’s. This was a textbook team victory.

As for Jockey King, they were completely lost under the opponent’s high-intensity pressure. The primary reason for their devastating loss was a staggering 31 turnovers, a number nearly triple that of the Monarchs. On offense, they could not find any rhythm, with dismal shooting percentages across the board (26.5% from two-point range, 15.4% from three). Facing a Monarchs team that was superior in both athleticism and team coordination, Jockey King appeared utterly powerless. How to solve their turnover problem and establish an effective offensive system will be the severe challenge they must face going forward.
