Game off to a quick start.NZ pushing the ball and putting it inside at every oppurtunity.
9-8 to NZ with 5:30 left in the 1st

24-14 to NZ end of the 1st.
Abercrombie got going early as did Penney.
The Webster brothers running the show with Fotu, Vukona & Annthony. Good looking small ball line up.

52/32 to NZ at half time. Tai Webster at PG and young Tai Wynard in the paint with Vukona. Wynard picking up 2 quick fouls and Bartlett playing his guts out for a spot to Spain. Abercrombie continuing to be active with a big block at the rim & knocking down shots.
Andrej Lemanis in the crowd scouting the South Koreans who feature in the same group as the Boomers in Spain.

NZ shooting 65% from the floor and 56% from behind the arc.
Once again dominating the boards but still to many turnovers and missing easy shots around the rim.

The young Tall Blacks from the Shore all showing great team chemistry. Penney lethal from outside.78/57 to NZ with 40 seconds left in the 3rd

How good is Corey Webster. Picking him to have a massive break out year in the NBL.

Fuming that the coach at Nebraska has tried to form Tai Webster into a PG.

He is a SG through and through.

Some scorers can operate from the Point and still have a scoring mentality ala Westbrook.

Webster can't do that and I dont blame him. His american college coach would tell him to dribble up the court and pass the ball and play good defence (which he has been doing this series).

The move to PG has taken away from his penetration and scoring mentality. His time at Nebraska has IMO made him a better PG but hasn't made him a better player if that makes sense.

He has gone from been a master SG to a jack of all trades guard. Essentially used to be an exellent SG and is now an ok/satisfactory PG. Stupid Nebraska coach.

89-81 to NZ at the final whistle. Big come back by Korea but Vucinic player a lot of the younger players in the 4th and NZ pretty much running out of gas but doing enough to hold on for the win.

I'd be taking these guys to Spain assuming Pledgers toe tendon heals up.

And every year Corey has got better. His ball handling skills has improved greatly and his shot creation has also improved. He shot the ball with ease tonight and he looks to be in tremendous shape, best I've ever seen him in.

I agree Macdub in regards to Tai. He was much like Corey in the fact he had that pure scorers mentality and Nebraska seem to have tried to make him into a ball handler & play maker. Not a bad thing for New Zealand in the long run with the brothers playing both guard positions.

Corey has played with a lot of good players and the Breakers have long shared the scoring during the time hes been there.

Players hes had on his teams include Penney, Jackson, Abercrombie, Vukona, Pledger, Corletto, Braswell, Wilkinson..so he hasn't always been in the top 4 offensive options. Not too mention his MPG were still too low last season.

NZ have named their touring team of 14 that is heading to South Korea, China, Lithuania & Serbia in preparation for Spain.
