Fishbowl North Season 5 MVPs Week 10 Part 2
Skyhook Dreamers vs Brisbane Thunder – 86- 96
A regular grudge match.. Not just 2 teams fighting it out on the court, but the whole of divisions 3.12 and 3.6 fighting for bragging rights. After a recent inter league challenge locked at 3-3, this would split the deadlock. Both teams looked to their big men to get the job done, but the Chan-less Dreamers defense played right into the hands of the Faka-less Thunder. The Thunder took the early lead, and led the charge for the interdivisional bragging rights.
3 Cristiano Semoni Brisbane Thunder – The Thunders game plan was obvious for all to see, get the ball to Semoni, and he did the job inside. Semoni hit 22 points on the back of 8-15 shooting, helped himself to 12 boards and broke up the Dreamers inside game with a couple of steals. A solid all round performance from “the Fro”
2 Konrad Falba Skyhook Dreamers – Falba won the battle of the boards, bringing down 15 for the night, and led the dreamers scoring with 20 points. He was unselfish with the ball, also finding the time to deal out 5 dimes to his team mates.
1 Ng Ting Yu Brisbane Thunder – Ng helped himself to a double double on the night with 16 points and 10 boards in his 38 minutes. A number of Thunder players could have put there hands up for this vote, but it was Ting Yu's high % shooting that separated him from his team mates.
Persepolis Immortals vs Viral Infections – 83 – 105
Billed as the game of the season for the Fishbowl North, saw the undefeated Immortals take on the all conquering Viral Infections. Seen as a possible grand final match up, both teams wanted the win in this 1 to secure the mental edge going into the finals. It was a classic inside vs outside game, but the all-round play of Viral Infections gradually wore down The Immortals, proving to all that if it bleeds, you can kill it.
3 César Serre Viral Infections – Serre is 2nd behind his team mate in ppg for the Fishbowl North this season, and put on a clinic for those in attendance. He scored at will, helping himself to 39 points on 12-23 shooting. The Immortals simply had no way of stopping the free-scoring Serre, and simply had to watch in awe as he went about his business.
2 Yuri Abruzzese Viral Infections – League leading scorer Abruzzese wasnt about to let Serre have all the fun and possibly steal his scoring title, also having a hot night from the field on his way to 26 points. Yuri not only led his team on the offensive end, but stifled his opponent Papkevich, keeping him to just 5-25 from the field in a fine defensive display.
1 Pashang Salimi Persepolis Immortals – As usal, Salimi was the best of the Immortals, but his best tonight just was not good enough against the outside game of VI. He muscled his way to 23 points and 12 rebounds, whilst also limiting his direct opponents opportunities. He tried his heart out for the Immortals, but fouled out after 40 mins of game time.
