Week FourUrmummas vs. Lewisham Wombats 95 - 97 (52065190) We start with the game of the round, new ABBL team Urmummas is having a massive impace everywhere and even taking it to ABBL royalty the Wombats. Urmummas had the ball with 16 seconds to go and two down but Théo Cougnaud threw the ball away. They had to foul, Awang made the free throws but it wasn't over as Eido Blum was single-handedly keeping Urmummas in the game. He hit a deep three, "E. Blum (A) is on fire! that's 5 in a row!". Foul again, Awang missed one giving Blum one last chance to be the hero.
4 0:00 95 — 97 J. Svilpis (A) gets off a great pass to E. Blum (A). E. Blum (A) tries a driving layup. Shot missed.
End of period.

Antonio Manfrotto Lewisham Wombats 28 PTS 16 REB. Great effort from the 'Fro who had to go up against Sun Cunming who is no slouch and fouled him out.
2
Eido Blum Urmummas 31 PTS. Make that last layup and he gets 3 votes but chokers can't be the MVP.

Sun Cunming Urmummas 15 PTS 19 REB. This last one was a coin toss, Awang, Laumianskas and others all had an argument for the last point but an efficient 7/10 shooting and a game high in rebounds got him home.
Chumunga vs. Black Label Society 90 - 104 (52065192) Two Big 8 ABBL rivals having a classic inside against outside match. In this case the outside shooting from three point range was a major factor (6/18 against a pathetic 0/13) as well as the extra 10 points BLS got from the free throw line. Dissapointing effort from $4.2 million man Gerd Jahe who was outplayed by Du Phùng.

Shaun McArthur Black Label Society 20 PTS 8 AST 4 REB. Offence was solid as always but keeping $102k Glen Tidwell to 0/10 shooting was key.
2
Du Phùng Black Label Society 21 PTS 7 REB. Shot well 9/15 and 4 steals was icing on the cake.

Nigel Cubby Chumunga 24 PTS 12/13 FGS. Could have been the champ, but fouling out in 21 minutes made him the chump and a lot of the blame for this loss goes to the Chubster.
TeamAkuma vs. Guanzheng Goldfish 84 - 94 (52065189) Two original Fishbowlers going head to head and the first time since the early days that they are in the same division. The Goldfish again went for the 2/3 zone and this time it was very effective keeping Smeltz to 6/15 and Vargas to a pathetic 2/7. TeamAkuma still won the boards despite the 2/3 zone and had a massive 37 free throws but just couldn't convert from the field.
It seems that having a team named after you gives you the right to jack up endless threes. Xie "I can shoot 19 three pointers and miss most of them" Guanzheng certaintly didn't help his side. - mllama

Xie Guanzheng Guanzheng Goldfish 40 PTS. It seems someone read last weeks review and took it personally. He only took 18 3s this week but made an amazing 10 of them despite facing the usual 3-2 zone. Jacking up endless 3s is actually quite a good think if you hit more than half of them.

Clinton Abimbola TeamAkuma I can't blame Xie's outburst on "The Prodigy" because he hwas just one part of the zone, but he ertainly loved shooting over the Fishy 2/3 zone.

Ky Smeltz TeamAkuma It is like old times again, Xie vs Smeltz. The other player in this game that had an entire team named after him. Ah the memories this brings back. I probably would have had to have given Smeltz 1 point regardless of his performance but with 20 PTS and 21 REB no-one can complain.
