Word Up Flavours?Before I start making my opinions matter,let's recap a lil' shall we?First,all teams from group B were dominating da 2nd round,Quakes and Arions respectively won their game by beating Nirwana Shocks and Titans.Secondly,UBSA was da favourite and no.1 pick to win da 2nd Divsion title this season.And thirdly,some were expecting that group B representatives are goin' to advance to da semis.
Well,for what's it worth,it could be a fairytale ending for all da group B representatives.But games are not won by writing down notes.It is a lot easier said than done.So,wat's da catch?Let's hit it.
THE BIGGEST UPSET (UBSA VS SWOOSH 2)
Well,as most of ya'll had known,UBSA lost.Not a big margin though,it was a 56-51 game loss for da Shah Alam Ballerz in their match against Swoosh 2.Da game was mostly dominated by Swoosh 2.From da start,til' da very end of da buzzer,UBSA look a lil' loss.
UBSA has a slight disadvantage as their monster,Ayie,was out wit another injury.Technically,da same injury tat he had last year,which is da knee.So,UBSA battle hard enough under da hoop by using Mr.X to da fullest.Unfortunately for them,Swoosh 2 is a team full of veterans,technically speaking ayte.
Swoosh's defence was well coordinated tat they made it look like UBSA couldn't even get da easy 2 point jump shots.Whereas for Swoosh 2's offence,it was so much easier for them.As both Aaron and Mislan showed UBSA how's it done.Aaron stunningly made almost 5-6 3 pointers,a few jumpers within da arc and very well made free throws.As guessed,he would be da Player Of The Game for sure.
UBSA somehow battled with all their might,playing their half-court defence,but it wasn't enough to stop Mislan from penetrating towards da hoop.Or even dished out for their bigs like Amarjit,or Old Man Farid.
Well,da game goes on juz like how it was described in da above lines,and from a 13 points lead tat Swoosh 2 had,UBSA manage to cut down to 5 points,but ended up loosing.A heart breaker,a slap in da face and it was all not enough even though UBSA had all players tat is suitable for da team itself.
So,1 down for group B representatives,3 more to go.With Swoosh 2,a group C representative,advanced to da semis.
THE SECOND CRUMBLE (QUAKES VS HURRICANES)
Da Great Walls of Group B's dominance falls apart more and more as another group B's representative falls down to both knees as Quakes were beaten badly by da Hurricanes.I dunno,da margin was like,a near 30 points I guess.
To see it physically,Hurricanes was all bones and flesh,I mean,literally.Even their big guys were all skin and bones.Compared to Quakes,they had more flesh,bulk and built shapes.But it was all about chemistry and making shots.Da game wasn't about speed and strength.
Hurricanes' lightweight made them cruised past Quakes easy as they grabbed more rebounds and made more second chance points.Their defence wasn't tat gud as Quakes manage to play da cat-and-mouse-chasing game in a moment.
At a point,where they were neck-to-neck,chasing a single point every time.But Hurricanes showed them tat they were better.Even Quakes' Munex da Mean Machine couldn't do anything about it.Couldn't quite see da final score,but I noe it was bad though.
"No matter how da wind howls,da mountain would not bow to it."Well,clearly Hurricanes made tat statement wrong for gud.Another group B elite falls,2 down,2 more to go.
AND THE COOKIE KEEPS ON CRUMBLING (ARIONS VS PHANTOMS (B))
Da young against da old more experience match.To be honest,da game was only excited to be observe during da first quarter as Arions and Phantoms (B) fought hard against each other as da first quarter ended up at 8 points each or was it da Quakes vs Hurricanes match?.
But coming up da second quarter,and until da fourth,it was all dull,and all expected as Phantoms (B) pummeling through Arions to book their spot in da semis.Even with da 3 Rainers,T-He and Raimi in da team,they could not stop da veteranians for gud.
And tat's how da cookie crumbles,3 down,and juz 1 more left as a group B representative anxiously waiting for da next match to commence.
SNIPING DOWN THE ENGINES (SNIPERS VS WEMOTOR.COM)
Load up your ammos,pick your target right,aim,& SNIPE!!! Finally,out of da 4 representatives in group B,1 manage to pull out a win.And it wasn't an easy win too.
Facing their hard task this week,Snipers are up against WeMotor.com,where MRN,da Tsunami,Fuad Prince and Syed Bontot as what others recall him,i'm juz rephrasing is their top players.As for da Sniperians,they are sticking wit their remaining 10 players,wit some injured,but still effective.
Lemme juz conclude da whole game ayte,da game was a close game.WeMotor.com was chasing points as da Shoot-To-Kill team took da lead by ending da first quarter 13-11.Gaining da momentum,Snipers took da whole game by leading every quarter and ended up winning by almost 13 points.Something impossible?Not really.
Snipers were prepared a month before da game.Even in da puasa month,they took their training session at nite hours,and eventually brushing up everything they could.And it was all proven worthy.Their defence was superb as WeMotor.com couldn't finish their shots,and Snipers' offence was better than before.Well coordinated,and with more playbooks too.
There's only one major problem.Snipers let their opponents get an easy second chance points as they couldn't grab more rebounds than WeMotor.com.But still,as a team named by an elite group of rifle men,they manage to pour down more threes than usual which is an exciting moment to watch.
Anyways,da final match of da day ended up Snipers,da only team in group B,advanced to da semis.Making their own team history,after years of participating in NC games,and finally,heading towards da 2nd Division's Finals.
So NC fans,da quarters are all settle and done.Now both divisions,one and two are in da semi-finals mode.So,we're gonna have more excitement than before,so get yerself something to chew and drink,as da semis will start this coming weekend.Til' then,stay AWE~SO~ME!!!
