Hello guys, I have one more after-game report to state.
This time, we faced our biggest rival - Nigeria of course. I definitely dare to say that this difference isn't realistic. The guys in green jerseys played really good throughout the whole game. They were constantly along us, but they trailed every quarter by a small deficit. Luckily for us, the difference accumulated enough to bring the new victory to this team !
I have to admit that I was slightly afraid of this game, especially because of our injured players. I had this Nigerian tactic in mind, knowing how stronger inside we are. If those players played this game, we would achieve much higher win here.
Anyway, I am proud to present you the best ratings in the history of NT :

(21649)

We have just 3 more games to win. Hopefully, we will continue this trend until the end.

We are the best!

Today, we play against Ghana, a team that played an excellent tournament so far. They lost once at the very beginning against us, then against Tounes in one not very important game. Eventually, they lost against to Nigeria, too. Anyway, they have pretty good game shapes, except for their center Mendy and N'Diaye. Our team has very good game shapes and anyone, except for the injured players, Ismail and Arabi, will compete for the place in the roster for the game. We aren't going to feel Arabi's absence so much, as he didn't play any game except the first one when everybody's GS was 7. Unluckily for us, his first injury in the season came in the first week where his GS was 8.
All of these guys are ready for the game but Abu-Mansour told me that he is pretty nervous, though.

If I counted all of our games probably, our semifinal game against Al Jazair/Senegal is going to take place on Friday.

I expect to write summaries of the next two games in special way.

go Misr goooooooooooooooo :D

tarkiz is great as usual!

Thank you, abo. There were three of us today, Fairness, abo and me. I hope that this number will increase in the rounds to come.

When it comes to game, another fantastic game of our guys. Ghana trailed by 40 points. Excellent offensive performance of our guys this time, it brought me bigger satisfaction than our defense. Our guys shot 58% from the field, I consider it an amazing success.
All of our players were extremely good in the minutes they spent on court. We out powered Ghana by 20 rebounds and 19 assists. Ratings are very good, as usual. I hope that we will be celebrating after our next match, too.

These are the ratings, enjoy the view :

I'm proud, now I can comeback! My problems are gone. Great job you are doin' Tarikz!

I am glad you're back here. We are going to continue winning together. ;)

So, this is one of the final competitive matches in this NT season. Semifinals are especially important here in Africa, as they decide who will enter the World Championship next year. WC is not the main goal of Misr, I have to say. I am interested only in winning of title. This team surely have all the necessary qualities for doing that.
Our rivals today are the guys from Al Jazair, the team which won against Nigeria last time in a CT vs Tie match and they ensured the Semifinals. I guess that's their maximum this season. I have to say that we have never been in better game shapes so far. I am really proud of you, guys.
However, the players form Al Jazair have good Game Shapes, too but their Enthusiasm is extremely low to compete with Misr at the moment.
The arena is full since 3 o'clock. The tickets were priced from 30 to 200$ but it didn't stop basketball lovers to come and watch their favorite team.
Jibril Abu Mansour is injured, so the captain tonight will be Souleyman Yousef. He stated for Al Jazeera :

"Our manager prepared us extremely well for this confrontation. I have no doubts about the winner of the match."

However, the manager, Tarikz, gave an interesting statement :

"We are surely favorites. I think we have strong team and this tremendous home crowd. However, Al Jazair has players who are true professionals and a serious manager. I don't think that this is going to be an easy-winner."

Was Tarikz saying truth or not, we are going to find out at 17.30. Live coverage on BB Viewer. Join me on chat and support these fantastic guys.

Souleyman Yousef was right this time, Misr played their best game on the tournament so far in the match where it was the most important. We won against Al-Jazair by 51 points, 104-53 in a match where we played Normal vs their CT. One more really impressive performance of our guys. This time we played very good from the very beginning and the only question after the first quarter was the final difference. We had lots of assists and scorers. Rahman Omer El-Ibrahim played his lowest-scoring game with only 5 points. The final is going to take place on Tuesday, we play against Ghana which won against Nigeria in one extra-ordinary match. We played against Ghana on Monday and achieved one easy victory. I hope that we will repeat that one more time.

These are the ratings, take a look and enjoy :

P.S. I sent some invitations for friendly game. I hope we will find an opponent to face on Monday, just one day before the Finals.

We are the best!

OK guys, the scrimmage is booked. We are playing against Norway in neutral court (my arena) on Monday at 18.40.
I dare to say that we are as good as them, even though their salaries look pretty much higher but we have better enthusiasm.
I think this is very good opponent for this scrimmage.

That's right, they have a good team, but we can beat 'em!

In a half of hour our last competitive game in the African Championship is going to start. We are very close to the thing I promised at the very beginning - the title of African Championship.
I will firstly remind you of our path through the competition :

Game 1 : (21007) - victory by 36 points against South Africa
Game 2 : (21011) - 54 points of difference against Al Maghrib
Game 3 : (21015) - 27 points of difference against Senegal
Game 4 : (21020) - victory by 42 points against Al Jazair
Game 5 : (21023) - victory by 27 points against Tounes
Game 6 : (21027) - victory by 32 points against Ghana
Game 7 : (21031) - victory by 34 points against Nigeria
Game 8 : (21640) - victory by 33 points against Al Jazair
Game 9 : (21643) - victory by 37 points against Senegal
Game 10 : (21646) - victory by 53 points against South Africa
Game 11 : (21649) - victory by 22 points against Nigeria
Game 12 : (21652) - victory by 40 points against Ghana
Game 13 : (21940) - victory by 42 points against Al Jazair

So, we've achieved very good victories, the smallest was by 22 points against Nigeria. I have to admit that, in my opinion, Ghana came to the finals unexpectedly, winning against Nigeria in one incredible match.
There is no favorite in this kind of match so we have to be very serious and careful.

The players have taken their final photos and are able to begin with the warm-up :

Everyone, except for the injured forwards, Al-Hussain and Arabi, will be able to play.
However, both of those forwards are going to watch the game from the bench and they will join their mates if we win the title.

Sulayman Yousef was asked again to talk to media :

"We are new African champions, remember this !"

However, other players are warning the fans, saying that the euphoria is much stronger rival than Ghana itself.

All the tickets are purchased, not a single seat is left empty. We expect to finish a spectacular season in a spectacular way.

We are the best !
