And the S29 MBBA champion is...

...kwaiwah! The great start which gave kwaiwah a 12-point lead at the end of the first quarter ended being the key of the game. In the following 3 quarters, the two have been matching each other perfectly to end up with a well deserved 102-90 win for kwaiwah. The champions took back their crown! The French guard Lucas Rigoulet was the leading scorer with 28 points but the local heroes Mushfiqur Aslam (23pts 8-12 FG shooting) and Ethan Gion (17pts) were the one who made the plays when it counted the most. In the losing effort, Cheng Hengchang (24pts 11-16 FG shooting) managed to bring back his team to 6 points in the 4th quarter but it was not enough.

The new comers

Double Lee managed to beat Too Cool with the exact same score than the MBBA final game: 102-90. The best player was Chen Guangjie, leader of the Malaysia U21 NT this season, who compiled 22pts and 19rbs.
Chronic Cynics is back in MBBA with an easy win 103-60. The PG from Hong Kong, Ko Jer Ming, scored 26 points in only 29 minutes.
ElectroLockz is back one season after being relegated from MBBA. ElectroLockz is the only team which won the finals in only 2 games.
Kelana Jaya Knights was the surprising winner of II.4 with a blow-out win 87-46, the 2 injured players in MadzBeater's roster were the key; but don't underestimate Kelana Jaya Knights which is lead by the NT center Xiao Daocheng who easily grabbed 17 rebounds in this last game.

Congratulations to all the winners and good luck to all the losers to come back stronger next season.

Definitely a great game to watch Nicolas! It sure was a hardfought 4th quarter on your part!

Apart from the first quarter, I also enjoyed watching the game. In the end, you deserve the win as my team never managed to get closer than 6 points, you mastered the game as a true champion. Congratulations to you! I'm proud of my team and players, we lost against a better team. It was a first for me and I will try to come back to this level next season.

Congratz to kwaiwah for winning the league... Congratz also for my fellow divII champ that will promote this season....
Next season will be a tough one to stay off relegation..But I still happy to reach MBBA.... the gamble to bought one Center before the playoff pay off.... Still a lot to be learn... Hope for the best next season

By the way... what is the amount of TV contract money for MBBA... i have to estimate my weekly expense next season

Welcome in MBBA! The first season can be a bit difficult but I know Chen Guangjie will do well. The TV contact depends on the whole division salaries, this season it was $208,985 while the player salaries floor was $376,173. Keep in mind that the gate receipts should increase and you will have a promotion bonus.

You, and others recently promoted teams, might be interested to get a former NT player: Weng Xiaobin (18294902), he is a bit old and has a high salary but his salary should decrease and he is still a very decent MBBA starter PG.

Good tip by Nicolas. Yes, your arena income will experience a sharp spike for the first half of the season due to your promotion. You can potentially get $600k so do check your ticket price.
That said, your arena needs expansion. You should aim to have 20,500 seats to maximise income.
