S17 - SGP - National Tournament - Preview
Requeim Of Dream (SGP #30) vs Compassvale United (SGP# 11)
The fire still haven't not stopped, as Requiem Of Dream kept climbing up to a recognition at SGP BB, the National Tournament. This is the finest moment that they could enjoy, although the next opponent waiting is from SBBL powerhouse, Compassvale United (CPU)
If this were the CPU of two season ago, this would be a dogfight between the two teams, but CPU recent shopping of Remy Wisgerhof, Mel Miller, and SGP U21 Lin Chuan Loong are certainly skyrocketed their class.
However, Little chance for ROD to advance to Tournament Final, as the gap is too large between the team. ROD's Ernesto Ceresi won't be able to stop CPU blue collar bigman in Wang Xiangjia, Lin Baoxiang and Lin Chuan Loong. And back court is even a nightmare, as ROD can't expect their two teenanger guard Ambaramani Sharma & Ang Wei Yong to stop CPU top PG Giovanni Duskhu and Chow Chun May.
Edge : CPU with 15+ points.
FuTureSG (SGP #27) vs Eric United (SGP# 7)
FuTureSG, a longtime division II team, also made their strong strides to a contention, managed to beat out stingy Singapore Slashers to advanced to Tournament Semifinal for the first time for the Franchise. But their fate are much similar with ROD, as they will be facing one of SBBL Legends Eric United.
Above the paper, EU with their six-figured salary Augusto Gomez is clearly not yet the level of any guard players of FuTureSG, even SGP U21 Abdul Rauf Ishak. But they do have two reliable bigman that have carried the load so far, Nolan Maglasin and Bronislovas Dabrukas. If both player performing well, the match will be interesting.
Edge : EU with 15+ points.
