NCBL 4th (5th) Week Review - Snipers vs Archers.

         

When ya'll look at these two pictures,wat can u tell from it?It's simple,da answers are Heart & Spirit.Back in last season where BW had to face Zero which is not participating this season during da group stage,they too had to face them wit 7 players only.Though they lost,but they played like there's no tomorrow for them.

Where as for da Shoot-To-Kill team this season,they faced da Robin Hoods wit only 6 players available minus one during da 2nd/3rd quarter due to injury.But with sheer determination,Snipers won wit a 36-35 scoring game.

It goes like this,da game was in da early morning which was suppose to start at 8 am eventually da refs were late,so,lucky Snipers they had da chance of waiting for another players to arrive Yen datang ngan muke ngantuk plus Nazim datang tesengih-sengih before da game starts.

First quarter,Snipers opened their score wit a 3 point jumper by Gecko,after a good screen by Snipers' forward cudn't remember was it Jimmy or Mr.Muscle and da momentum was there.Archers pulls back wit a 2 point shot.Da 1st quarter was like a chasing points game,where shots by shots were made by both teams,but Mr.Muscle from Snipers proved tat he's got more than juz looks muscles to score.

Mr.Muscle dominated da 1st quarter by scoring 8 points for da team,and grabbing 7 rebounds to help Snipers control da game.Nazim tried to push da tempo,but made few turnovers tat led to Archers' scoring attempts.Not much of a highlight from da 1st quarter though.

2nd quarter begins wit Archers scoring first wit a luck confidence shot made from da baseline.Wit Yen & Gecko contesting da shot,still,da ball goes around da hoop,& in.It doesn't look gud for both teams as they are still trying to create an open opportunity,but failed to put in da rock.

Somehow,Snipers looks more alive wit proper ball rotations and a never giving up rebounds though mostly they lost their boards to Archers and a good rotation sees Sadiq to Nazim,Nazim to B-Joe,B-Joe to Gecko & 2 points goes to Snipers.Most of da 2nd quarter was dominated by Snipers due to loads of 3 seconds call to da Archers players.They may got da board after their jump shots,but they cud not convert for their precious points somehow.

Eventually,Snipers was still leading until da 2nd quarter ends.& still,da points were close.A lil' sumthin'-sumthin' like 20 - 18 score,or less like tat.3rd quarter commence wit Archers' possession.But soon,more unmade shots by Archers lead to Snipers' penetration to da hoop,again,still no converted shots made.

Both teams look tiring as they tried to increase their scores.But Archers regularly updated their scores from da freethrow line as Snipers looks to be on a foul trouble.

Da scaring moment for Snipers was when Jimmy went up in da air to grab da ball,& landed on one of da Archers' player,& he drop wit pain & agony.He barely walk,& lucky for da game,Ala not da real name from Archers was a doctor himself.So,he did da best he cud to help big-ol' Jimmy wit his knee problem.

Anyways,let's continue wit da game shall we?Jimmy ended his game wit 4 points and 9 rebounds,but tat didn't stop Snipers' 5 leftover other players from charging.Somehow,Gecko looks like Mr.Hustla himself,though wit a bad defence,he tried to pay da mistakes by hustling back da ball.Wit help by Sadiq & Yen on da weak side,they made Archers look like school kids taking shots.

Archers retaliate wit offense by offense and they made Snipers look even tired than before.But as were said,they didn't finish like they were suppose to.If they do,Snipers were down by many points by da 3rd quarter.At da end of da 3rd,Snipers is still leading by a narrow margin.

Da real fun begins on da 4th quarter.Snipers begin their charges with good penetration,but both Sadiq & after a steal made by Gecko cudn't convert da shots.Fatigue was written on their foreheads.But good defense covered up their mistakes by making Archers rotate da ball until da 24 clock buzz out.

Closing to a finish wit only 5 minutes or less to play,both teams look tiring & made so many turnovers,it looks as if they switch their game play into a "football-time-wasting" strategy.Though Archers had chances of making fastbreak points,da coast-to-coast chase by Nazim & Gecko managed to stop them before they cud even come close to da hoop.But by fouls,Archers got most of their points,again,from da freethrow line.

Now,da real drama begins at 10 seconds left on da clock.Snipers got da inbound possession,da score stays at 36-35,where Snipers was leading.Archers started their aggressive defense hoping tat Snipers will made turnovers again like da previous quarter,Zharif a.k.a B-Joe held da ball,passes to Gecko,& was pushed over by an Archers player.

Gecko was pushed and grappled since da 1st quarter,combining all quarters,he collected 9 pushes by Archers.Wit fatigue controlling his mental,& was pushed over & over again,it looks like anger got him going but still cudn't compare to Ghazi's Kame Hame Ha technique when he pushed Miro during da Petronas Cup held at Johor.Nearly a brawl,but everything was under control tanx to Ala and Zharif for cooling things down,close one though.

Freethrows were made by Gecko,but still cudn't convert both of da shots guez tat anger really got over him & Archers charged wit full speed.Zharif was there,& collected a foul.Giving Archers da one & only chance to take da lead & win da game wit 1 second left on da clock.Pity for Archers,both freethrow shots didn't go in either.

Somehow,Ala got da ball,goes up,buzzer sounds,& da ball didn't go in da hoop like he was hoping to.Snipers won da game against Archers wit a very-very close call,wit 36-35 score.
