Another Deutsche Classic!

Dresdner Löwen 129 - 155 Rossi Team

Q1 - DL 20 x RT 41
Even losing the game, I think it's worthy making comments about this classic. We had a horrible start, I guess it was a mistake to set the tactics 50 min before the game, but Alfred and I couldn't do it on the last minute... Gordo Cabron avoided our defense, choosing to face Francesc Pont, as PG, he managed to score 26 points (perfect shooting), besides suffering 4 fouls in 12 min. Our best player was Cloud Nine with 8 points and 1 steal, I should have trusted more balls on him, but I thought they would use their defensive PF against him... DJ had a hard time against Oded Katash, missing 3 shots and sufferinf 3 fouls. Jansen didn't have a good start... he felt the pressure of their defense and couldn't scape Frantachello Rubio. Marinos had a regular quarter with 6 points while Francesc helped the team with 3 steals, but couldn't hold Gordo... I believe losing this quarter resulted on our loss.

Q2 - DL 39 x RT 38
A much better quarter on offense, but our defense kept making mistakes... We couldn't hold Jonne Martikainen who scored 15 points from the 3pt line. Porco didn't let us down with 16 points and 4 assists, great quarter! Alfred didn't avoid Jonne's 3 pts shots, but he managed to score 12 points and stole 4 balls, substituting well Pont. Cloud Nine scored 6 points and assisted 6 times, but had a hard time holding Manu, making 3 fouls. DJ was my biggest disappointment, missing 8 shots, one of his worst performances.

Q3 - DL 40 x RT 32
After a word from the manager, the team was back on the game, diminishing the difference of points... Porco led the team with 22 points (perfect shooting) and 5 assists. Jansen also returned much better with 10 points and 5 assists. Marinos also didn't let us down and scored 8 points, blocking and stealing, keeping a strong defense, holding Gordo with only 4 points, awesome job. Matheus had some trouble facing Manu, making 4 fouls, but helped the tea, with 5 assists.

Q4 - DL 30 x RT 44
Another horrible quarter to our defense. We allowed Gordo and Owusu to score 32 points together... Our best player on offense was Jansen with 14 points. Closelly followed by Porco with 10 points, besides one block and steal. Marinos suffered a strong defense from Frantachello Rubio and missed too many shots. Cloud fouled out and gave space to Erich that helped on defense, but didn't avoid Kuincy Owusu from scoring.

MOM:Gordo Cabron (48 points and 10 assists – double-double)!

Special Recognition:Porco Aranha – 48 points and 10 assists - double-double - he played better than Gordo and should have gotten the MOM!
Jansen Wiese - 26 points, 11 assists - double-double!
Cloud Nine – 16 points, 2 steals and 8 assists!
