Yippee-Kai-Ye: Reg Torres and Ye Huaien lead Eagles to OT victory
Well it was X-Mas day. Everyone was ready for a great matchup between the BPI Robbiemen and the Mountain Eagles. It ended up being one of those Christmas Classics as it went into OT! What great excitement on Christmas.........get your popcorn ready! The Eagles gave the fans a real nice present as they beat the Robbiemen 101-97 in OT.
"Look's like the team is more of a 1st and 4th Quarter team I guess, can't lie about that!" said GM tough. Things started fast as the Eagles led 31-18 at the end of one. At halftime though W. Lamar was starting to get real hot from three and cut the lead down to 5. By that time Reg Torres led the team in scoring with 20 points. In the 3rd quarter, the Eagles were able to just lose the quarter by 1. Four point game. The Robbiemen then got smoking hot after Anatoly Tomilin Fouled out. Here we are at the 30 second timeout, rookie Floyd Reid: "OK guys, we got this. All we gotta do is hang around. Lurk in there. Make them take hard shots. If we can do that we got a chance. On the count of 3............1...........2...............3................MOUNTAIN EAGLES!!!!!!!!" Now they came back ready. Floyd Reid made the first shot in awhile for the Eagles. Then it was Reg Torres and Ye Huaien who were doing the work now. After 4-5 possessions of missed opportunities to make a shot, BPI Robbiemen dunked with 4 seconds left to tie it at 90. Reg Torres missed a short jumper at the buzzer and we were heading to OT!!!!!!
Now here is a fact: Mountain Eagles are 3-0 in OT Games, heading into this OT. Now yall would think this game is in BPI's favor since Anatoly Tomilin fouled out and Smits was getting hot? Nope, the favor was actually in the M Eagles. They went into OT, got banged around a little bit and it was 92-90 Mountain Eagles until Mykyta Made a three from FAR AWAY!!! "Man, I didn't even know how I made it, I was trapped. I just lobbed it up there......now I didn't know it was actually a 3 until the screen said THREE! THREE! THREE! and I was like, 'whoa'? Anyways glad I made the three." Then Reg Torres made a three from no man's land and then it was history. But not yet. Ye Huaien missed a FT and them Erik Smits rebounded it, Smits shot the last shot for BPI, a missed three and rebounded by Reid. So after a last effort to steal, they foul on Tirado with 0:00 left on the clock. Tirado made the 2 FTs and it was ~GAME OVER~
"Glad I had a big day. Kinda good to be in this situation where the game is on the line. Now I think we can be a solid playoff team here we can actually could give Rum a fight to the end. But let's not worry about that. For now, let's celebrate X Mas and go home to our families
" said Reg.
"WOO!!!!!!!!!! Glad we won in OT! Really is a Merry Christmas..........now let's just relax and set up for sleepy1, who should be real sleepy1 Saturday since they're probably gonna be hung over" (people laugh) said Ye. "YIPPEE KAI YE!!!!!! YIPPEE KAI YE!!!!!!! YIPPE KAI YE!!!!" The fans chanted every time Ye or Reg made a three. "Ok, we won here. IT WAS tough, but we got the win. 4-0 in OT, maybe I should get into OTs more often ;)" said GM tough.
The Eagles are off to a fantastic 6-2 start to the season, watch them as they take on sleepy1 this Saturday! From Houston, this is Cliff Paul, reporting for The Eagle (yeah I had to give him a giant pay raise, stupid State Farm)
