Seattle Bladerunners - A Dynasty in the Making continued .... The NY Maximum Output-Seattle Bladerunners semifinal game was yet another game that had the stands full of spectators, as over 700 filled the bleachers, and they had to open up another section at Drexel to accommodate the crowd. This game was going to be 40 minutes of intense action as the lines had been drawn and everyone had their favorites. The game started off with all misses until NY’s Nate brown made a layup 4 minutes in. MO got a 6-0 lead by playing a good 2-3 zone, using their height to force Seattle into changing its gameplan. Seattle didn’t score until Jim Shih registered a putback with 13:31 to play to make the score 6-2. NY was in control of the game, and after Kyle Kiang had a moment of temporary insanity and slammed the ball down (earning himself a technical in the process), it looked like it was all about to become unwrapped for the Bladerunners. But Seattle actually responded in a positive way, as Austin Yuen nailed a deep one from the corner and Jim Shih scored on a leakout to give Seattle a 19-13 lead. At that point, it was MO who was on the ropes. But Alex Stewart scored on a 3-point play to make it 19-16. Wesley Hsu then earned Seattle some breathing room by getting 2 three-pointers to fall, making it 25-18. Nate Brown gave MO a little bit of momentum heading into the half, by grabbing the ball and sprinting down for a layup as time expired, cutting the lead to 5. The second half began with Jim Shih doing his Tim Duncan impersonation, scoring on a turnaround post move and then hitting another layup. Kyle Kiang then atoned for his Tech as he swatted Jay Wu to give Seattle the momentum. The game went back and forth in physical fashion with Seattle holding a 5-6 point lead. The Bladerunners had the ball and pulled it out to force NY out of their zone and into a man defense. Kyle then found a matchup he could take advantage of, delivering on a hanging acrobatic 3-point play to make it 35-27 at 13:15. But Nate Brown wasn’t about to give it up as he pulled the trigger on a super deep 3 to cut it to 35-33 with 9:16 left. After a few trips up and down, Austin Yuen took it upon himself to show Nate Brown that he wasn’t the only point guard with skills. Austin led a 3 on 1 break and then stepped back to nail a daring trey from the top of the key to make it 38-33 with 8:02 to play. Gavin Cook scored on an offensive rebound and layup to trim it to 38-35, but Kyle Kiang hit a 3 on the wing to give Seattle a 6 point lead again. A few moments later, Austin Yuen completed one of the most unreal plays of the weekend as he hit on a crossover pullup, faking everyone out of their shorts, to make the score 43-36. With 1:33 to play, NY trailed by 6 and they were forced into fouling. Wesley Hsu sank 2 freebies, Jay Wu missed a short jumper and Kyle Kiang soared for the board. Austin was fouled and he wound up missing his free throw but ended up with the loose ball and scored on a layup to make it 47-37 with 1:08. Seattle was then called for a foul off the ball and Jason Wu went to the line and hit 2 to make it 47-39. Seattle missed at the other end, and NY was looking for a chance at a miracle comeback. Wilson Lew then failed to hit the rim on a corner 3 with 45 seconds as the crowd chanted “Airball, airball” and Nate Brown missed at the top of the key. That was all she wrote as Seattle finished off the game, winning 52-41. Nate Brown (16 pts, 9 reb, 5 turnovers) and Jason Wu (9 pts, 3-3 ft) led Max Out, while the Bladerunners were paced by Austin Yuen (16 pts), Jim Shih (10 pts, 7 reb, 2 swats, 2 steals), Kyle Kiang (9 pts, 11 reb), and Wes Hsu (10 pts, 7 reb, 2 trifectas, 3 turnovers). << previous men's elite division continued >> |
