S27 Cup Semifinal : Lionheart Jaguar use 17 3pointer, hold on to beat EricUnited 120-115.
Totally no sign of dethroning EricUnited. Perhaps all sports better are losing money now.
The whole Jaguar team suddenly couldn't stop raining down three, which saw them leading the Singapore best team by 13 points between the third and fourth quarter. But EU erase all deficit behind Ivan Jesic two consecutive baskets, regain lead 113-112 in two minutes to play in 4th quarter. Kang Puay Ying big 3-pointer from the top of the key bring Jaguar back to 115-113. And after EU miss, Wawruch were fouled but only sank only one FT, enabled another chance for EU to tie the score. However, Ivan Jesic desperation three hit the front of rim, and Jaguar secured the ball and won by FT as they kept fouled to stop the shot clock.
All were normal as Jaguar slightly lead 30-26 going to the 2nd. Midway on 2nd quarter, suddenly Wawruch and Lukas Fritton were clicking, hitting jumpshots and backdoor layups and suddenly the lead were up nine. A buzzerbeater three point by Wawruch close the half with 67-56 lead. Third quarter were more like shooting contest, as Wawruch kept competing with EU Germany SG Sandro Vuchelich. Both didn't get cold at fourth, but Wawruch got more supporting cast and eventually secured the victory.
All Jaguar player scored at least 10 points except Alberto Vaz. Wawruch led with 34 points (6-10 3PT) 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Francisze Sklorz has 19, and CRQ had 18 points and 14 rebounds. He was the important man, secured defensive rebounds after rebounds. Lukas Fritton scored 17 points off the bench.
Ivan Jesic led EU with 34 points as well, but shoot 4/13 from downtown thanks to Jaguar Arnaud Bonnet help defense. Vuchelich has 30 points. Gergely Szentmiklósi has 18 points. Msir sensation Nasser Tahrani has 20 rebounds.
With the huge victory, Jaguar advanced to Final Tournament for the first time in 7 seasons, facing longtime rival mighty SaungHninPwint, who beat their countryman Golden St@r 119-80. With SHP adding more enthusiasm, can Jaguar make another upset again? Stay tuned on next Thursday.
