Truong Hoang Trung "clutch" 4 phases in a row, Warriors won an important match against Cantho Catfish

In the VBA Regular Season 2023, fans are seeing the image of internal soldiers shining more and more.

Although foreign soldiers and overseas Vietnamese players are still the main source of points for teams, internal soldiers are gradually standing up and often expressing themselves at important times.

In the match that took place on the evening of August 1, Thang Long Warriors lost the advantage of leading up to 25 points, letting Cantho Catfish equalize the score 81-81 when the fourth half had about 4 minutes left.

Starting from here, Truong Hoang Trung's "show" appeared.

Four consecutive "clutch" situations were performed by the Hanoi-born defender, including both attack and defense, starting with a situation of jumping into a rebound dispute and scoring a successful 2nd chance.

Then he had a great defense. Although starting later than both Catfish players, Trung "Kon" still managed to poke the ball out of Le Ngoc Tu's hand to switch from defense to attack. Across the field, Sameen Swint did not disappoint his teammates with a neat finish thanks to the support of Justin Young.

The culmination of this series of sublime situations was 2 consecutive 3-pointers of the defender wearing the number 6 shirt, converting two assists from Le Hieu Thanh and Justin Young into 6 points.

The Player of The Game title does not belong to Trung but to Sameen Swint, but he is certainly the person with the greatest contribution to helping the Warriors overcome Catfish in this difficult match.

"We are extremely confident in Trung's excellent shooting and defending ability. He helped us a lot in this victory," Sameen Swint shared about his teammate.

The whole match, Trung "Kon" scored 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3PT) with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and especially 5 steals in more than 24 minutes on the field.

This result is very important to Thang Long Warriors because they have just defeated a direct competitor for the VBA Playoffs 2023.

In addition to the 3 teams that are "separating" in the first group, namely Saigon Heat, Hanoi Buffaloes and Nha Trang Dolphins, Thang Long Warriors (scoring 7-5) are being followed by Cantho Catfish and Ho Chi Minh City Wings (with the same achievement). 3-8).
