Flyer Sonic vs Bobbleheads
Regular Season game 1: Flyer Sonic 119 - Bobbleheads 98
Regular Season game 2: Flyer Sonic 113- Bobbleheads 68
Big 8 No.1 seed Flyer Sonic faces off against Bobbleheads, an ex SBBL team who might be looking to beat the odds and winning a highly favoured opponent predicted by most to go into the finals.
Flyer Sonic
PPG: 103.4(4th), RPG: 57.2(1st), APG: 24.9(3rd), FG%: 52.1%(2nd)
Peh Jian Long: 24.4mpg, 13.8 ppg, 10.8 rpg, FG% 64.5%, Part of Singapore's national squad
Flyer Sonic is the team this season that has a perfect 22-0 and will enjoy HCA throughout the playoffs. Lead by their twin towers Peh Jian Long(PJL) and Li An Wen(LAW), Sonic has a frontcourt that every SG manager would envy and even possibly sell half their team for. Expect the twin towers and all Sonic bigmen to go to work against Bobblehead's relatively weak interior defence as Bobblehead has only 1 true C in its roster to protect the rim(Gordey Potemkin). Sonic also has been busy in the transfer list bolstering its already strong roster with PG Władysław Smaruj. So far little has been seen of Smaruj's game in II.1 but he has an impressive 8pts, 9 assists and 11 reb game in his last game for his previous spanish team. As long as Flyer Sonic's other role players defend, rebound, chip in a few points and their PGs gets the twin towers involved early offensively, Flyer Sonic will be unstoppable and most probably cruise to victory against Bobbleheads, just like the 2 league games they played against each other.
Bobbleheads
PPG: 111.3(2nd), RPG: 46.5(7th), APG:24.0(5th), 3FG%: 34.9%(1st)
Nicola Veridiani: 40.3mpg, 25ppg, 6.8apg, 2.4spg
Bobbleheads got relagated from SBBL last season came into the toughest II league in Singapore and got into the tougher of the 2 conference. Still, even while selling off some players early on Bobbleheads managed to survive and stay at 4th position. Their team PPG is a whopping 111.3, 2nd in the league, however their opponent ppg is an average 91.5pts, 6th worse in the league. Sonic has a very high FG% and with Bobblehead's mediocre defence, the only way Bobblehead can possibly win is to outscore Sonic in every category and hope for the best that Flyer Sonic's twin towers has an awful night. Full time PG and part time thief Nicola Veridiani (2.4 spg) must pick the pockets of unsuspecting big men and play the passing lanes to prevent easy scoring and backdoor cuts. Expect the game plan of Bobbleheads to be an exciting fast paced high scoring one with barely any defence played. Bobblehead's head coach is also notorious for pushing their players to their extreme limit with crunch time. If Flyer Sonic is caught extremely unaware and unprepared we could see a close game that might be an upset.
