2023 SEA Games Schedule, Sunday May 7: Opportunity to Add Gold

Women’s 3×3 national team coach July Wong believes her team can face Vietnam in the semifinals because they have a higher physical advantage. “We won in big man. We have Tari and Kim, we will take advantage of that for our strength,” said July Wong.

July said that the potential opponents of Agustin Gradita Retong and friends tomorrow have speed and agility even though they are physically smaller than Indonesian players.

He said he would carry out a strategy to anticipate the speed of the Vietnamese players.

“We have a strategy, we keep it more hustle, aggressive in defense,” he said.

The Women’s 3×3 National Team managed to qualify for the knockout stages after completing three matches in the group phase by placing second with two wins and one loss.

The Indonesian heroines won from Singapore with a score of 21-11, beat Malaysia 21-12, and narrowly lost to hosts Cambodia 13-14.

Indonesian naturalized player Kimberley Pierre Louis became the top scorer for Indonesia with 19 points from three matches in the group stages. In addition, Kim also contributed greatly to the blocks and rebounds that were made while defending.

Furthermore, the Women’s 3×3 National Team will face the winner of Group A, namely Vietnam, on Sunday (7/5). Meanwhile, the winner of Group B Cambodia will face the runner up of Group A Philippines.

Unfortunately the success of the Women’s 3×3 breaking into the semifinals was not followed by the Men’s 3×3. Avan Seputra and friends only finished third in Group A with one win and two losses.

The Men’s 3×3 National Team only won against Laos with a score of 22-11, while losing to Vietnam 18-21, and losing to the Philippines 13-21.
