Green Archers crush UE for third straight win

I agree with what you said. With all due to respect to UE, this year's batch of Red Warriors is, obviously, in rebuilding mode, which is why a lot of teams, including ours, find it easy to go up against them. Like what I said in a previous post, UE is a team that has nothing to lose and everything to gain, thus the need for all teams to crush them for a convincing victory instead of giving the Red Warriors the inspiration to nail their first win of the season. Adamson, on the other hand, is a very veteran team, with players who have high basketball IQ and good work ethics. Aside from Norman Black, Leo Austria is one coach that knows DLSU's weakness, the press break, very well, although they employ the press break usually on full court press, which DLSU usually uses, and not much during half court press. Alvarez and Canada, their point guards, have already earned the reputation for being an "Archer Killer" because they kept on outsmarting our point guards. The physicality of their tall and athletic guards, Nuyles and Lozada, is something that should be expected. Cabrera, their trigger-happy tall guy, has the ability to use his size advantage over his defenders. Adamson also banks on the production of its forwards Camson and Colina, and its imported center Manyara. Expect Leo Austria to also use an "anonymous player", one whom we failed to scout, against DLSU, similar to what he did last year when he used the likes of Etrone and Brondial, which caught us by surprise (potential "anonymous players" for Adamson include Etrone, Brondial, Petillos, Rios, Monteclaro and even Manyara, na itinago ni Leo Austria from us last Sunday); and decoys in order to attract DLSU's defense and open some of the Falcons for much needed offense. Kina Alvarez, Canada at Nuyles madalas umikot ang bola ng Adamson. Aside from using press breaks, Adamson can employ zone defense against us because the Falcons know that we rely so much on isolation plays. Unfortunately for us, we do not have good offensive execution. Our shooters are inconsistent and we still have this persistent free throw shooting problem that we could not even solve. I believe that we should do these to beat Adamson: 1. Play 40 straight minutes of hellish defense, but have the ability to adjust when necessary, especially when Austria uses press breaks whenever we employ the full court press. 2. Anticipate the possibility of Adamson using decoys and an "anonymous player" to completely disrupt our offense and defense. 3. Instead of relying too much on full court press, which Austria can read easily, use the half court press to delay Adamson's possession supposing they have a play to execute. 4. Use multiple zone defense but with a twist: HAVE RELIABLE BIG MEN similar to what NU did when they had Mbe mixed with their version of the zone (again, expect that Adamson will adjust to this type of defense when they meet us on Saturday).

i agree why do they have webb in the line up anyway?

What I do not understand also is that Webb is a basketball prodigy... he is supposed to be refined by now. He seems to have talent driving into the basket. I think he would be effective if he make baskets by slashing. Hold the ball quick, go slash and pull every opponent with him, make baskets and draw fouls from them. As I said before, this kid has tons of energy that needs to be directed in the right direction. He is prone to fouls... he should turn it around and cause fouls to opponents instead of attracting it.

haha you're worse than I am in criticizing the team! Or do you actually know how to play the game? they played way better than the previous games (this season that is). The teams of the PAST are in the PAST. so live with it!
