Quick Finals Snapshot
SPEAKER_00The national fast food leads. Five times series. Between three and three three sixes. Let's drive into it. Welcome back to the channel of the podcast. I'm your host, BJ, and why it's been a long time since we shared the last time about between these top two side, finishing first and second between Sydney King's first and LA 36ers in second place. Now, this is one I call one of the best championship series since the LA 36ers have really wanted it all the way to the fifth game. Did we make that far? Well, you know I went to game three. I was promised to do game four and five. I do apologize. I will share my thoughts and reviews and all that when the time comes. If you are new, welcome to the channel and I appreciate your time and much appreciate you can absolutely keep that a following, and that'll be awesome. Wherever you get your podcast, just make sure you just keep that down. Like, make sure you keep listening because oh what a show we have to use. And on your YouTube fans, thank you so much. I really appreciate sharing my thoughts and how I can review my thoughts of this one of the best championship series. And I'm gonna go from game one up to game. Well, maybe get to game five. Do we go to game five? We'll share that very soon. So I'm gonna really cratulate Sydney Keynes and the LA 56 first up. My goodness, it is the best two teams going head to head. They we knew it's gonna be, I thought it was gonna be a very good championship, but there's been some up and downs, and but we're both focusing about the basketball, both teams are, about the, you know, how it all wraps it up to maybe up to, we'll Destiny share game four, because Destiny went to game four, but how we wrapped it up into game five, we'll get there. Well, and also, you know, so let's into it. Look, it's new players, you know. Boss Conn's in championship experience, we knew that uh been Cameron coming in to the team. We got some this is maybe what I see the great Morlem LA Food Sixers in assets a long time. And coming in under pressure, coming to uh one of the best basketball arenas in Australia, in the country at the stamina East Hall. We'll share that in just a moment, and that is called Gordon's Bank Arena, with a 10 or 13,181. So did that crowd went bigger? Or maybe it could. And I gotta say right now, look, overall, I really feel LA have they learned the lesson from game one to game two. And I really think it was new for them. And half of their list for the LA 36ers, Sydney had better depth, Sydney had more knowing this could be in their season. And, you know, Isk Humphreys, D. Bankovich, formal Sydney Keen players, that they knew they were taking the against. As well, having, you know, Chun Han and Totton and Cameron White, all of them on the bench are basically have never been there. And being a really, really awesome experience to see them playing championship. They know how it feels to get to that goal now. It's about how to win it. And I tell you right now, how much is important we'll get there. Right now, we pass game one, how is game two went. This could be anyone's game. Sydney came to Adelaide in a hot environment of the motor sold out foul. And I tell you right now, 91 to 89. The first game was 112 to 68. Big difference. How much Adelaide wanted it more? They wanted it more. And Kenry Davis got him game one, Bryce Collin did game two. The first break won the LA Food Sixers to victory. The series went back to Sydney. Before I get that, it was 1-0. Sydney Lee 1-0 to 1-0. And boy, it was anyone's to win it. How much did LA respond in Von game? Their momentum. They had more momentum and they had earned their respect and spot to go to Sydney and take a 2-1 lead. Well, could they? I gotta say right now, big winners and we loud. It was hot. And I gotta say, I was happy. Then Sydney to the LA 36 Arena. 10,058 hat, the Alay's Entertainment Center. Game Mumma 3. 10693. High scoring. This was a better chance. And once again, they started well, Adelaide. I couldn't finish it. The 18,373 was hat in game number three. No one was gonna be a more harder turn of winning. Very sixers had everything for game number three. And this was a better response. Sydney were better. I have respect that Sydney had better depth. A very good coach had everything planned. Then it was game four. The Live The Spirits, the Championship Series, but it didn't work. LA 36ers had everything to win it. Had everything to do. But Sydney came out on dominate in the second half. They were not finished. Bryce Conan dominated once again. But it was Callon R. Ch. Lisani R. Chominated in game number four. 92 to 91. 10,068 packs. The A Entertainment Center. Then 24 years drought. This is what I'm saying. You do have teams are playing for drought. But Sydney have plays and dominate. And I can't believe it. I can't not believe it. That it was uh I almost went over time in game number four. Sydney had everything to win it. Then, well done to Everett to Sydney. LAD had more doubt to winning in front of 10,000 in front of the LA Entertainment Center. But this is the one LA dominated in front of 18,589 attenders at the Humor Bank Arena in Sydney. The fifth game that LA had everything to dealt with. Both Kenneth and Bryce Cotton, 35 points. But this is what the huge thing is. LA dominated, but Sydney won how many quarters? Three. Went to OT. Sydney wanted him more. And oh my goodness, it changed. And six from 17 Kevin Davis, 6-13, Bryce Cotton. Kevin Davis was shooting 0 from 4. The overtime had Sydney. Teens had more confidence. They may not have their best stars on the port. Same with LAB City. We had everything, had everything on court. Maybe even getting our players a chance for Gloey. But this is huge. We know how important that the LABs needed this win to make a 24 hour that it's sport. We move on. It's life. But I gotta say, well done to the team. Without doubt, finishing form against a team we beat when the Legion Finals and Sydney took the championship. So these two have met in finals. It's when you're normal court, you don't, you're not famous. You won it. Off court, it's like yeah, you're famous. But I tell you right now, it happened. We'll focus in the offseason and we'll find that talent. And we know, we know how important to bring you 25 years down and how they do that. But it's basketball. We know how much. But join the NBL One around the country from south-east, north central. If I miss one more, I do apologize for that. So uh maybe there is five conferences around Australia. Go to MBL1 on the app or MBL.com.au on the globe on Google and you can chat that. So congratulations, congratulations once again to Sydney Keynes winning a model championship. Adelaide heads up. You had a what I call the best series I've seen in a long time. Be proud for the new who made to the championship series. Congratulations. Knowing we had some great players in this team, the leadership, the lead to the championship. And we know how amazing game five was. We had everything in the bank, but unfortunately, we didn't just prepare. We just fortunately just can't, we're all just a bit unfortunate. So, congratulations to Sydney King. Well, that's it for our reviews. I hope you enjoy it. Make sure you hit that following and make sure you follow on YouTube as well. And wherever you get your podcast here on the BJ show.
