Starting today (April 7) in Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, the 2023 National Championship U23 Basketball Tournament has the participation of 11 men's and 4 women's teams, competing in a total of 38 match.
Right on the first day of competition, the tournament witnessed an earthquake when the defending champion received his first defeat. Besides, two buzzer-beaters from a great distance appeared.
One of the key matches of April 7 took place between U23 Da Nang and the championship candidate - U23 Hau Giang Lottery (XSKT HG).
Knowing that the representative from the Central region has been "reinforced" the squad with Huynh Andre Minh Triet, the bigman with two Vietnamese-American bloodlines used to be the MVP of the U18 Basketball National Championship in 2022.
However, Da Nang U23 still has the core of the U18 team that just won last year and is undervalued compared to U23 XSKT Hau Giang. The representative from the West is a famous football team in youth training and has just had a well-invested training period.
Things were not very bright for U23 Da Nang when they were 12 points behind entering the final round. But with an unexpected scenario, the army of the Han River city set up a chain of 25-4 points to break through the score.

Group A with the participation of U23 Da Nang and U23 XSKT Hau Giang can be considered as the "death table" of the U23 National Championship Basketball Tournament in 2023. In addition to these two teams, the group also includes Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Wings, In'n'Out Club Ho Chi Minh City and Hoang Bao Long Petro Dong Nai.
There are only two tickets to go on for the two best ranked teams after the group stage, so this is a group that promises many fierce matches to compete for a place in the next round.
