While Devin Harris’ shot scored Nha Trang Dolphins an early point, lack of teamwork made their attacks fruitless. Ho Chi Minh City Wings outplayed them with smooth ball rotation and precise finishes. With clever personal technique, Jeremy Smith earned nine points in a row to help the Wings create an eight-point gap in the fifth minute of the first quarter. Nha Trang Dolphins depended entirely on the efforts of Christopher Galbreath and Devin Harris, which, however, paled in comparison with those of the Ho Chi Minh City-based team’s Makinde London and Jeremy Smith. The 2.08-meter center London’s two slam dunks in the beginning of the second quarter boosted his teammates’ spirit before they made a breakthrough with 29 points and reached a very high finishing performance of 68.8 percent.

Delegates to a recent seminar held in Ho Chi Minh City raised concern that Vietnam needs more highly-skilled IT workforce. According to recruitment agency Vietnamworks, the demand for IT workforce is high and will keep rising in the next few years. Job listings have also doubled in the recent three years. It is forecast that Vietnam needs 400,000 IT workers in late 2018, but there are only 250,000 engineers in the field at present. The number of IT jobs surges 47 percent annually but manpower only increases 8 percent. Nguyen Phuong Mai from Navigos Search said it is hard to seek highly-skilled managerial staff in the field. Amid the booming start-up movement, the rate of job-hopping is also high, resulting in the shortage of human resources or staff lacking management experience. In face of that, a number of firms have recruited students right after their probation while several recruitment agencies have trained staff for hire.
