Matchday Report
I saw Vikram last Sunday at EIS as we folks were rallying to kick some balls on the grass field. It took us by surprised as Vikram was heading to play for a Filipino team. Filipino scouts have entered our region last wednesday and has drafted our player! Such is the quality of our league. So how did he fare? We're have to wait and hear it tomorrow.
Here are the match results:
Match 1 : Clutchers (31) 64 : 36 (12) Champs
Clutchers: Tor+ 22 pts., Wu 20 pts.
Champs: Sumitr 17 pts., Joke 16 pts.
Fresh from their first season victory, Champs were back to their normal best with their struggling first half form back as usual. The omni-running Clutchers broke through the whole Champs defense with 3 pointers, fast breaks, and many easy put backs. Tor+ was hot on the 3s while Wu was the running horseman.
With veterans Joke & Sumitr for once back in form, the absence of many key players was vital as Champs had not enough answers to pull another surprise victory like their last match.
Match 2 : Bulldozers 61 : 53 Gigantos
Bulldozers: Dev 21 pts., Benz 16 pts.
Gigantos: Eddie 26 pts., Vikram 19 pts.
A surprise return from the 30% recovered Michael was a big boost to Bulldozers. Combined with the trio Benz, Dennis, and Dev, Gigantos came short of answers. Though Eddie & Vikram combining for 45 points, little help came from their other team-mates.
This week was probably a pre-mature run of the match-up between teams in the play-offs. If pundits are correct, Champs and Gigantos should probably hit rock bottom for another week with the play-off match-up between Clutchers vs Champs and Bulldozers vs Gigantos. This might be the final chance for underdogs Gigantos and Champs to test their game plan for the play-offs. Though pundits write Clutchers vs Bulldozers final, surprises may always spring up. And that's the excitement at our EIS Lovers Tournament
