CONCEPTS Computer maintained their perfect start in the Concepts Veteran Cup 2016 with their second straight win after toppling Digimark 82-63 at the Brunei Basketball Association Court in Batu Bersurat last night.
The unbeaten Concepts can now start making preparations for the semi-final this Friday while Digi Mark – yet to win a single game- stood on the verge of elimination.
Concepts coach Jameel Mabanto bin Abdullah said that they have faced their toughest opponent but believes there is still room for improvement to further assert their dominance.
Jameel Mabanto added that their first opponents Winrun Tyre posed a greater threat than their opponents last night.
One particular area of emphasis is the need to tweak the defence though there were no concerns in their attacking department.
“Our first opponent was stronger but eventually we tried to solve our problems.
“We played more on defence. We only concentrate a little bit on our offence especially the running and the fast breaks,” said the coach.

“We hope we can get better in our next two games,” continued the coach whose team lifted the title in the last edition.
The coach admitted that this year will be more difficult in contrast to their title-winning campaign with lowered age a factor towards the challenge.
“There will be 39 and 40 year olds stepping into the court so there are stronger compared to last year.
Last year, there were veterans aged 43 or 44,” he concluded.
The competition resumes on Wednesday with Concepts Technologies squaring off against Home Kitchen and Cafe while Winrun Tyre take on Digi Mark.
