NEWBak Ku Teh Kings vs Final Fantasy XIII

Regular Season game 1: NEWBak Ku Teh Kings 101- Final Fantasy XIII 80
Regular Season game 2: NEWBak Ku Teh Kings 70- Final Fantasy XIII 83

NEWBak Ku Teh Kings and rival Final Fantasy XIII are meeting for the 3rd time in the first round of the playoffs for the last 4 seasons. Don't be surprised if you see U21 and National team coaches in attendance for the U21 teammates matchup, Dong Tian Kwang vs Lim Kim Pin.

NEWBak Ku Teh Kings

PPG: 108.2(3rd), RPG: 50.5(5th), APG: 28.7(1st), FG%: 55.5%(1st)
Dong Tian Kwang: 41.8mpg, 19.9ppg, 17.9rpg, 1.7 blkpg, Part of Singapore's U21 team

The NEWBak Ku Teh Kings have been eliminated from all their playoff games in the 1st round, twice by Final Fantasy XIII once by SHP. This time they hope to advance past the 1st round and they have put themselves in good position by acquiring U21 squad C, Dong Tian Kwang(DTK). DTK brings that additional rebounding skill, always an Achilles Heel for the King's as a team, and also the defensive presence in the paint. Many guards will be reluctant to drive into the paint with DTK anchoring the middle and facing him and his 1.7Blkpg. The NEWBak Ku Teh Kings will be using this to force Final Fantasy XIII's guards into shooting perimeter jumpers and turning them into a jump shooting team. Besides the Dong Tian Kwang vs Lim Kim Pin matchup, the Kings will also likely send Vitomil Wolf to guard Wong Jiemin (17.8ppg, 6th in league for scoring). Wolf will also have the task of setting up his teammates and making flashy passes(7.3 apg, 3rd in league) as he did all season long for the Kings. This game is also a good chance for young G-F Haji Abdullah, Sapian and Yeo Eng Heng to impress Singapore U21 and National coaches with their skills and decision making in an important playoff game. Fans hope that this season is the season for the Kings to finally advance.

Final Fantasy XIII

PPG: 82.3(9th), RPG: 42.1(8th), APG: 23.0(7th), SPG:10.0(3rd)
Lim Kim Pin: 41.7mpg, 18.9ppg, 9.3rpg, 4.3apg, Part of Singapore's U21 team

Final Fantasy XIII manager has declared a "rebuilding" status for the past few seasons including this one and this time it seems that Final Fantasy has really hit the "rebuilding" button. Final Fantasy XIII has dropped across the board in all his stats from one of the top few in pts, rebs, assists last season to the middle of the pack this season. Still, one cannot count Final Fantasy out in the playoffs. Last 2 playoff games they have beaten the Kings and even took a regular season game this season. Final Fantasy XIII will once again rely on Wong Jiemin, who played sensational in the last 3 games against the NEWBak Ku Teh Kings (average 19.2pts, 47.8% shooting against the Kings) and also versatile U21 F-C Lim Kim Pin. Lim Kim Pin can play all 3-5 position and will likely go up against fellow U21 teammate Dong Tian Kwang. Lim Kim Pin can possibly draw DTK away from the basket with his versatile play and good shooting range, which allows Final Fantasy XIII's guards to run into the paint with ease. Final Fantasy XIII can also capitalise on the inexperienced raising stars of the Kings(Haji Abdullah, Sapian, Eng Heng) to get them to commit silly fouls and poor plays. This might be the last game for Wong Jiemin wearing a Final Fantasy XIII uniform and we will be certain to see the best from him.

Relegation match #1 : juntion 9 vs Thunder SJ

While Pacific Storm and Lionheart Jaguar are sitting comfortably at no5 position, 4 other teams are battling in out in a best of 3 match to see who stays and who possibly might drop to div III. We wish all the teams the best for the upcoming matches.

1st of these relegation match is rising young team juntion 9 vs recently discovered computerised manager Thunder SJ.

Regular Season game 1: juntion 9 86 - Thunder SJ 30

juntion 9

PPG: 79.7(9th), RPG: 46.5(5th-tied with Hoop Magical & Bobbleheads), APG: 21.9(9th), ORPG: 13(3rd- tied with Flyer Sonic)
Aiantas Spiridon: 41.8mpg, 9.1ppg, 13.2rpg, 4.9apg, Only player in II.1 to be top 10 in both rebounds(5th) and assists(10th)

juntion 9 (not to be confused with junction 8) is a rising young team in the toughest conference(big 8) of the toughest league(II.1) in Singapore. Most managers would probably have melted under the pressure and quit after 3 weeks of losing 6 games straight by an average of 30 pts but not juntion 9. What doesn't kill makes you stronger truly applies to this team as he builds them up from scratch in a league full of powerhouses. Even though he finds himself in the relegation matches, it is a good platform to learn more about the game and his roster. Watch for juntion 9's big 3 Lucilo Maramag, Pablo Salazar Cabrera and Aiantas Spiridon step up their games for these important 2 matches. The big 3 account for more than half the team's scoring (56.6pts), more than 2/3 of rebounding (30.3 rebs) and more than half the team's assists (12.3 assists). The heart and soul of the team, Aiantas Spiridon, is the only player in II.1 to be top 10 in both rebs and assists. The big 3 will definately pave the way to victory for the relegation matches and fans of juntion 9 has only greats things to look forward to this season on.

Thunder SJ

PPG: 61.4(15th), RPG: 40.4(11th), APG: 14.4(13th), BlkPG: 3.2(16th)
Shatrunatp Singh: 41.8mpg, 9.4ppg, 10.7rpg, 1.2 BlkPG, 7th in league for rebound per game

Almost everything about Thunder SJ is a mystery except for their near bottom stat line. Even their manager was a mystery to everyone in II.1 until very recently he is finally uncovered to be a computer. This means the 18 players on Thunder SJ has been receiving orders and strategy from a robot. Still, through a robot manager and coach with hearts(if they have one) colder than steel, they made it to 6th place with a 4-18 record in great 8. Kwek Meng Loong is their top scorer averaging a abysmal 12.6ppg. Their lone bright star, Shatrunatp Singh, can rebound well but has a shooting range no longer than his arms. Still, like computerised robots- oh wait he is one, Thunder SJ will send his "A" team to march like machines into the basketball court for the relegation games. juntion 9's big 3 will have their own way in the game sending a message that they are to be respected in the league. Thunder SJ's fans, robots or not, are hoping for a real human manager to take over their team and bring them to possible glory. But for now, they will most likely be soundly defeated by juntion 9.

Relegation match #2: rajons team vs LastMenPlaying

no regular season game played between the 2 teams

The 2nd set of the relegation matches is between rajons team and new team LastMenPlaying. This is the 2nd straight season rajons team is in the relegation matches following the lost to da_pimp_united last season.

rajons team

PPG: 95.3(8th), RPG: 52.8(3rd), APG: 23.5(6th), ORPG: 14.1(1st)
Chung Wen Xin: 37.5mpg, 16.5ppg, 13.9rpg, 2.0blkpg, Have yet to miss a single game

rajons team find themselves in the relegation matches once again this season. Last season, rajons team lost in 2 games to da_pimp_united. The Singapore Basketball Association gave rajons team one more chance in II.1 and here they are again in the relegation but against a different team. rajons team have been steadily improving still and if there's one thing that the team is good at is rebounding. rajons team ranked 3rd in rebounding and 1st in offensive rebounding. Ironman Chung Wen Xin who has been with rajons team since season 16 and rebounding specialist Ang Ming Kwan(14.3rpg) will definately give the rebounding edge to rajons team. Still, they need to capitalise on the rebounds and put the ball in the hoop especially all those possible easy baskets after the offensive rebounds. rajons team top SG Javián Araujo is out for 1 week with a dislocated shoulder but they shouldn't miss him too much against the weaker SGs of LastMenPlaying. LastMenPlaying also has horrible interior defence, passing the ball inside to Chung Wen Xin and letting him work his magic is a very good idea.

LastMenPlaying

PPG: 61.7(12th), RPG: 34.1(16th), APG: 13.7(13th), ORPG: 9.0(16th)
Louis Anak Malam: 31.4mpg, 17.0ppg, 4.7 rpg, 5.7apg, Son of former basketball player Pasar Malam

LastMenPlaying is a newly created team few weeks ago and taking over team 57952's team record they found themselves in the 7th place with a 4-18 team record. However, it will be a tough matchup for them for the relegation matches. LastMenPlaying is dead last in rebounding, and they are going against a very good rebounding team. Therefore, LastMenPlaying must be as accurate as possible to cut down on the amount of rebounds rajons team can haul in. They also have to really box rajon's big men out to prevent offensive rebounds as there will be plenty due to rajons team's below average shooting percentage(43.6%). Chung Wen Xin might be too much for any single defender in LastMenPlaying so he should be doubled and let Ang Ming Kwan (9.5ppg) do the attacking instead with his weaker offensive skills. LastMenPlaying can also leave Huang Yonglin shoot jumpshots if he has the ball as he's shooting a poor 37.3%. But even with all these LastMenPlaying will have a very tough 2-3 games ahead of them.

Regards

good writing.. but i like to give chu wen xing some credit, from season 16 till now he will soon become a strong force that able lead rajon team to playoff maybe next season

div 2.1 quarter final playoff

Final Fantasy XIII vs. NEWBak Ku Teh Kings 75 - 99
Revenge is sweet, some say. this is how NKTK feel now. Since seen kings get into playoff, the guy who kick him out of playoff run is always FF13. FF13 who is now still in rebuilding period, gets into 3rd place in great 8 now facing his old friend in a rival match. Support of Kings and FF13 rally around the stadium to see the result. However, this season is a different season for kings as they come in as a impressive record of 18-4 coming in 2nd. FF13 comes in with a bad start where his star wong jiemin gt injure during the match, losing a offensive power. Rely on LKP and Creytz, the team struggle to close up the gap, as time goes by, the score start get wider and that goes the result. DTK using his defensive strength to power the rim while offensive leave to wolf to handle whom dish out 24 pts and 9 assist who control most of the game.

Sugar Ray vs. SaungHninPwint 64 - 122
one of the 1 sided game. Sugar ray 1st time into a playoff with a rookie start against a powerhouse with the team motto "do or die". SHP almost control every single game as their PF/C both combine of 40 rebound and 8 offensive!! their offensive is split into 3 big of Xiaochong, Opoka, Vadkerti. each player taking 19pts. The crowd almost gone crazy as we saw one of the fans carry a poster "SBBL HERE WE COME". Next stop they will be facing the top seeded kings in a interesting game. Jarkko Virks try his very best but, in term of skill, strength everything the team are still lower than SHP. However this will be a good start as to learn from the mistake to hit better in the future.

Chai Chee vs. HoopMagical 94 - 97
You might not get as close as this game. both team stand up balance in everyarea. where this game goes into a heart beating in 2min. chai chee is having a lead which slower shifted to HM. last 50s game Pedro Cafranga tied the score 94 -94, everything is now in a heart beat. after talking with the plan, chai chee's José María Manjon Díaz steal the ball giving them to have a last dagger. However the ball was unable to pass to Pedro Cafranga as he is heavily double by HM. Without leaving a choice, they pass to Lucjusz Wywijas to make the last shot. However it was missed. As timing counting down, everyone was looking forward to the OT period. Not for 1 man. Maties Bover the number 1 scorer and clutch. As the fans counting to 3, Bover take the ball and fire for 3.... BANG!!! Bover lead HM to a OUTSTANDING victory with 94-97 with a BUZZER BEATER. The fans gone crazy and so is the player. chai chee player were left stun, HM player come to hug Bover for the victory. "You might not get anymore this kind of match anyway!!! Bover is our boy since season 16 noone mess with him!!!" stated one of the fans. Maties Bover man of the match with 29 pts, 6 rebound and 3 assist. Lucjusz Wywijas not clutch enough taking home with 27pts, 4-9 beyond the arc. if Lucjusz Wywijas make tht shot, the game will go the other way.

Bobbleheads vs. Flyer sonic 99 - 122
"let go sonic, let go sonic" this is the only chat you hear in the game. As flyer sonic taking a victory over Bobblehead 99-122. At 1st quarter when the sonic is losing by 4, the coach give them a hard lecture reminding them the mistake done in last season. The players got fire up to ending the 2nd half with 51-77 LAW with a perfect score of 9-9 in scoring. Last times goes by, sonic start to fight in more into the game, LAW ended the game with a mr pefect score of 10-10. "I just want to win last season mistake must be return. Now our guys are in super mode to goes into the next game." said LAW. "HM is a tough opponet we need to do well to overcome this." say GM of sonic. Nicola Veridiani who has play in SBBL before, finish the game 43pts, 6 rebound 4 offensive.

League Relegation Game

LastMenPlaying vs. rajons team 60 - 102
a easy game for rajons team whom has alot of experience in these game. However this season start to show abit different than last time. As they nearly make into the playoff game till last quarter losing standing to pacfic storm and bobblehead. Roberto Pérez Moreno the new force in the team, bring the team in to new height as he singly handed LMP with 31pts and 4 assist. Chung Wen Xin might be the new face in NT, focusing on defense and rebound by taking home 14 rebound and 4 blks.
Terry Anak Jabu taking home with 18pts and 2 stl.

juntion 9 vs. Thunder SJ 129 - 63
Junction 9 just joing the game this season show a remarkable progress on his hard work. As his rookie season, he manage to complete the game with 10-12 ranking in the toughest league in the game. Pablo Salazar Cabrera the veteran in this team, taking 30 pts and 15 rebound and 5 offensive. Kok Nie Chao the new pomising guard taking home with 14pts and 9 rebound. let see how he fare against the experience team rajons team
