We were neutral on these games...so, we went up Seria just to watch basketball to kill our time.
The court was surrounded by 70% chinese 30% filipino, though we sat on the wrong side of the bench...we just wanted to have fun watching, and YES it was enjoyable.
Congratulation to "Plaza Sutra Biru" basketball team.
The night was amazingly nerves heart-pounding games. duhh..watever...janji SHIOK la.
The final was like 'chineses vs. filipinos' basketball game...though the away team feels it's a racism game. Will get to this later...
First Quarter, illonggo Stinger has made outstanding offense game and bad game play for the PSB's players whom failed all the time on 3-points shooting with beaten up points 16-2, which the 'egg-point' was broken at very last minute of it. Second Quarter, PSB starts to get warmed up and chasing the points while IS still leading the points very far.
Third Quarter, though IS has lead them far by 21 points away in middle of the 3rd... PSB played rough offense and defense after since then. Fourth Quarter is when the wind started to change...very intense game, like those usual finals you seen 1-2points-different-leading-points keep exchanging
...untill with less than 60 sec, IS scored 1 point ahead and cheered for early victory because with 24-secs of PSB's turn, because they may not make it IF IS make a "great wall of China" defense. Miraclely, PSB managed to shoot in the ball giving 3-secs for the opponent. IS almost able to make the miracle, but unfortunately the ball bounced out of the ring.
Plaza Sutra Biru 61 - 60 Illonggo Stinger
GOOD GAME, indeed.
Sitting on the Away Team was...
"shh...dont say anything bad. Dont cheer for any" situation!
Pretty scary...why? Every year, there will always a fighting scene happened - luckily, not this year. We overheard the IS's coach scold at the point-keepers and many other chinese who stand there...
(something sounds like this)
"If you dont want 'us' to win, it's FINE! we wont join any your tournament again next year"
Yeah...Seems like...They, the IS, blamed the two referees were being one-sided with their nation, while another referee support his. I do see one of the PSB's member start the fire in the first quarter, but things get worse in second quarter where both teams are unhappy with the referees. and the players whom played rough and doesnt get a foul.
Sad part...Trophy time; ii see the PSB's players tried to shake hands with them, but only 1 or 2 respond with dissatisfied and hatred feelings. Where others? Already walked out of the court and sat at the far corner resting. Worst is when the host called them to collect their trophy and medals...with the PSB team friendly waving and shouting at them...they walked away with pissed off emotions and drive back home. After a long minutes of waiting...the dissatisfied coach finally collected them.
