SOME of Hong Kong's finest talent will battle it out at the 2004 Silver Shield Basketball Tournament Championship at MacPherson Stadium in Mongkok on Saturday.

In the men's final, defending champions Fukien are on the brink of elimination, down 0-1 to South China Athletic Association (SCAA) in a best-of-three series.

Even without their best player, centre Tam Wai-yeung, who has a toe injury, SCAA have shown a lot of heart and are confident about their chances.

'We have a few good centres on the bench,' said Wu Kwok-fung, SCAA's starting point guard.

'Siu Kim-wing has done a very good job for us in the circumstances.'

'It was upsetting when [Tam] got injured, but we have enough guys to win this series.'

SCAA will need to stop Fukien's Yung Kam-wah and Chung Ming-tat, both of whom excel from the three-point range, as well as Sung Fong, one of the tallest centres in Hong Kong.
