S15 - SBBL Playoff - Shohoku Backers cruised past Sessioes Doers, Pekanbaru Jaguars survived Fat Alexander.

Things still look handy for Shohoku Backers as Sertug Acay's 29pts 12reb lead the team to tame Sessioes Doers 95-80. Lead 25-16 since 1st quarter, SHB never looked back with lead keep balooning to 80-54 at 3rd quarter.

On SD side, only Roberto Paz and Eike Balkhausen register with double digit points. Paz did score gamehigh 30pts, but Balkhausen only had 10pts and 7reb, slowed down by early foul trouble.

Meanwhile on Great 8 side, Petrus Debrier season high 28pts and Huo Xiang Song brilliant 4th quarter brought Pekanbaru Jaguars defeat the Fat Alexander 87-75. As expected, Fat-A were using their inside strength to muscle through the bigman-depleted Jaguars team, but Petrus Alexandersson was solid though, played his best defense and did his usual business, rebounding. He has only 8 points on 4/11 FG, but grabbed 20rebs and played 47 minutes without any Personal Fouls. Another Jaguars' bigman, ex U21 Huo Xiang Song, keep rising up his game, hit jumpers after jumpers, including the big 3pts at 4th quarter that drive the sellout Tribuana's crowds gone frenzy.

Playoff Semifinal :
Pekanbaru Jaguars @ Cheesecake
Singapore Showstoppers @ Shohoku Backers

Yea Petrus Alexandersson was a great signing, well deserved mvp.

The Semifinals....

Shohoku Backers vs Singapore Showstoppers
This season playoff semifinal would be the Singapore Showstoppers first appearance. Came from their walkover win from Donkeys, the Showstoppers enjoyed their first ticket for the big 4. But their journey seems about to hit the ceiling, as they are heading to the Shohoku Stadium to face the Defending Champs. However, they won't be just come to the Semifinal as one of the participant. HK NTers Noel Lima immediately stole the spotlight when he dropped 33pts and 22reb against Backers' Sertug Acay at regular season, SS beat SHB 113-106. And for tomorrow game, this could be different story. Shohoku Stadium is not a place everyteam would like to play at.

Cheesecake vs Pekanbaru Jaguars
With this match, the Jaguars will seek another chance to revenge their home loss 65-75 earlier in the season, and a heartbreaking 73-76 defeat from Cheesecake team, which denied Jaguars the 1st seed of Great 8 division. But that win were too costly, as they lost two of their key players now, Justin Linde-Liepins and Vincent Katic to injuries, now have to rely on Victor Sramek to carry to load. The Jaguars, also will be without bigman reserve Sofronio Mabutol, leaving only rookie Li An Wen for available backup. Although the Jaguars slightly stronger than Cheesecake now, but the game will be playing at Cheesecake Arena. Will Jaguars recent league MVP Petrus Alexandersson & Huo Xiang Song able to hold on against Rafael Vázquez and Felipe Massana? You have to reason to be sure as long as their Personal Fouls doesn't hit 3 or 4 at the 2nd quarter of the game.....

I hope my team can pull off an upset over Shohoku Backers. Pity I can't watch it live since I'm going out later...

haha.. gd luk for ur game. have nt win u for once, even in league 2.4.. haha

Once again, good luck everyone, for thos who playing in Playoff..

S15 - SBBL Playoff - Jaguars crush Cheesecake 95-81, set up the Grand Finale appointment with Shohoku Backers.

Unlike their previous two meetings, on this time, it looks quite ease for Pekanbaru Jaguars to take control on the game. The Jaguars used balanced attack to outscored Cheesecake 31-9 on first quarter. The worrysome starts on 2nd quarter after Huo Xiang Song and Petrus Alexandersson each have 3 Fouls, but the lead still ballooned to 20 behind Thiseas Chantapakis hot hands. Cheesecake were never recovered even though Tan Kim Wai and Viktor Sramek were on fire, and the game were ended 95-81 for Jaguars. Chantampakis scored game high 34pts on 15-22 shooting, to go along with 10rebs 3asts and 3stls. Sorin Niculae followed his miserable quarter final with 18pts and 6asts. MVP Petrus Alexandersson racked 16pts and 14rebs, survived Felip Massana & Rafael Vasquez tough play which cause him having 5 Fouls. On Cheesecake side, Viktor Sramek led all the scorers with 32pts & 9rebs, Tan Kim Wai replaced the injured Linde-Liepins and scored 25pts 4ast & 4rebs. Felip Massana has 22rebs.

Meanwhile on the big 8 side, Agisilaos Kostis 30pts and Aniol Soler scored 27 Shohoku Backers to their 2nd straight SBBL Final appearance by sinking Singapore Showstoppers 117-91. Both teams started tight on the 1st half, but the Backers suddenly turn the table with Kostis and Soler do their work, running & gunning, drive and dish, resulted in 31-18 3rd quarter scoring and were never threatened after that. Showstoppers Noel Lima were held to 3/12 for 15 points thought he fought all the way to collect 23 rebs, Pedro Pineda scored 19pts and 15rebs.

With the winner from each Division are set, Shohoku Backers will face up with Pekanbaru Jaguars on SBBL Final game.

It was not to be for me in the end unfortunately. Looks like I'll just have to try harder next season. Hopefully I can start with a good draft pick.
Good luck to both teams in the finals! May the best team win!

So.. who is out from SBBL ?

S15 - SBBL Relegation - Whampoa ended SLZH quest to survive SBBL, Eric Utd fly past Compassvale to tie 1-1.

Not what SLZH were wishing for, at least on their own arena. On the 2nd & 3rd quarter, they were only able to see Falko Rogali and Victor Nolledo hit shot after shot. And their mountback at 4th quarter proves that time is not enough, and Whampoa survived from being relegated of SBBL, dumped SLZH 109-96 at SLZH Arena. SLZH Bela Gorboi did what he could, with late explosion on 4th quarter, but wasn't enough to catch up with well experienced Whampoa crews that scored three peat of Championship.
Victor Nolledo dropped 32pts , and old time veteran Falko Rogali, seen chance to start after played behind Ng Chao Huat, exploded for 31pts and 7asts.

Meanwhile another Relegation match, Eric United found no difficulties to stop Compassvale United, blew them out for 122-84. They were powered by at least 9 man scored double digits, led by Fu Erqiang with 17pts and 10asts. Compassvale weren't playing Giovanni Dushku, probably will rest him for the game 3. British Shaun Russell-Lee led Compassvale with 32pts.

Game 3 of Eric United and Compassvale United will be hosted at Compassvale Indoor Stadium.

do comeback here often (this Forum), even though you're on Div II...
