Lets get ready to RUMBLE!!!
Todays show is addressed to the upcoming game Cyprus Fighter VS Keraynos. A lot have been said about the young and challenging team Keraynos during its first year in the arenas of CBBA. This much promising team is not only strong at heart but also in man power as it consist of a fair share of proficient players coordinated by non other than Antonis K.
So with no further ado, on my lefthand corner, the underdog that knows how to receive a punch and keep on its feet. The team with the silver jaw, the team with a staggering uppercut. Ladies and gentlemen I give you the newcomers, Keraynos.
The team consists of 10 players and special attention must be given to the big guys like Adam Patyk, Dai Tinggui and least but not last Aliou Diame capable of compromising the inside defense of any team. Aliou Diame, in our opinion, seems to be the key in unlocking the strategical mystery in winning Keraynos. A player capable of providing double doubles in every single one of its performances. Packing a sensational amount of roughly 20 points per game and a colossal of 20 rebounds. Diame is usually used in a PF position by its manager, thus forming the tip of the offensive spear in the teams tactical planning of either Look inside or Low post. Lets not underestimate Javier Cimbrón, a spanish PG at the age of 21 producing an average between 10 and 20 points with a mean rating of 9 in his last games. Javier Cimbrón is surely not a deadly outside shooter but he can surely cause pain with midrange jumpshots.
Keraynos cannot be considered as a flawless team since its outside players,PG and SG, cannot much the strenght of its big guys. Will the team be capable of keeping its flag up against a defensive planning of 2-3? Can Antonis K. surprise the opposition with a motion or Run and Gun offensive tactic and still achieve a respectable performance? Our advise to Keraynos is keep to the initial plan and hope for the best.
And on my righthand corner wearing blue and white shorts, a team that needs no introduction, the giant of giants, the fighters from the fighting grounds of Nicosia, the team of extraordinary players, the former champions and maybe future champions, ladies and gentlemen I give you Cyprus Fighters.
What can be said about this team. Well I assume most of the things have been said again and again so we will try not to bore you. To start with, the team is managed by our very own Joghnny B. It consists of 12 players, half of which are domestic and from which 2 in the national squad. Which player to give special attention to? The answer is atleast 7 which form the starting line up and reserves. There is no planning that might help to defeat this powerhouse since it can play with the same ease inside tactics as well as outside ones. Despite the fact that Cyprus Fighters has sensational outside shooters, the major strenght of the team comes from its big guys, just like in the case of Keraynos. Zois Gagalatos along side with Sakis Yiannakakos, Nikos Kerkidis and Vissarion Karalikos dominate the airs with their rebounds and contribute to the teams scoring machine. Not only is this team nearly impossible to match up against but furthermore Joghnnys special and clever increase enthusiasm planning makes it unspeakable. Cyprus Fighters is without any doubt the favourite team to win this conflict and the point margin will definitely depend on the starting lineup of Johnnys team.
To sum up todays show we decided to include a skill prediction of Keraynos performance. In the event that Keraynos plays Low Post or Look inside, man to man we predict the below performance taking into account the away game.
Outside scoring: awful high (low post) inept low (Look inside)
Inside scoring: strong medium
Perimeter defense: inept high
Inside defense: respectable low
Rebound: average medium
Offensive flow: inept medium
