The Game was great in term of level ,even of there was no Fans ,due to Federation decision (They banned Al Riyadi Fans for this Game) ,Great level from both teams ,champville were better a little ,even they played with Garnett Thompson and Marcus Haislip ...(Sam injured) they got the game !!
they played really well in the first 2 Q ,and the lead arrived to 11 ,and they hit their shots and played great deffence !!
in the third q also they led by 14 ,then Riyadi had a huge comeback ...with their 3pts !! (Spencer-Ismail-Billy Fares-Omar Turk ...)
and they led by 1 pt ,in the 3rd Q ...in the 4th Q ,Riyadi continue their lead ,and the score arrived to 7 Pts for Riyadi with 2 min left ,Mohammad Ibrahim played very good game and hits hard 3pts like Haislip also ,and they did a comeback ...Haislip was the money time player and take champville to lead again the game and they got it !!!
Ismail,spencer were the best from Riyadi while Riyadi locals were bad at all
Fadi,Haislip,Garnett,Stephan,Ibrahim ... had a Great game from Champville side
Now champville got the 1st position ,so the are leading the league ,and they will got the homecourt advantage in the final 4 ,last time Riyadi got the 2nd Pos in the league was at 2008 !! Champville now first with homecourt advantage and Riyadi 2nd with very hard semi final !! the league is on Fire in it last rounds (FINAL 4

[leb-basket]

the best 4 teams qualified to the final 4. I hope next year all financial problems will be solved. I heard many lebanese abroad players will join the league.

[gazara]

True it will be a great Series in the Final 4 ,and specially the one btw Riyadi and Anibal
Riyadi with New Import (Andre Emmett) ,Anibal ...the hardest team in the league ,they pla tough and very good deffence and they have everything to win
Champville who prooved that they are the best this season ,with the Tiger ... Sagesse with Sabah and their Leader Nate Johnson ,also Sagesse will change Brandon Crump ,he's injured and can't play in the Final 4 ,maybe Larry Cox (211-C)(USA) Will be Sagesse 2nd Foreigner in the final 4 next to Nate !

N.B:Spencer was replaced by Emmett because of an Injury !

Final 4 Preview (Champville-Al Riyadi-Anibal Zahle-Sagesse)

[gazara]

Joel Box (205-PF)(USA) Signed for Sagesse Beirut Club ,he will Replace Brandon Crump (208-C)(USA)(INJURED)** ,to play with the Green Castle in the Final 4 !!
Joel Played before in Lebanon ,he played with Blue Stars 3-4 years ago and had a very good season ,then went to kuwait and had also very good numbers !
he have a big size ,can play outside and inside also he can play the post ,good scorer ...






Joel Box in a game against Sagesse in Season 08-09

Too weak for a team participating in the final 4 of the LBL. Sagesse's decisions this year are all wrong. They have one of the weakest rotations a team can have.

FLBB League: Emmett shines, but Anibal stun Riyadi at Manara

BEIRUT, Lebanon (FLBB Divn. A League): Andre Emmett marked his eagerly anticipated debut for Al Riyadi Beirut with a game-high 25 points, but it was the season’s sensation Anibal that took the honors for the game with a 77-68 win as the Final Four stage of the 2011-12 Lebanese Division A League tipped off on Thursday.

Anibal scored the first 13 points of the game and never looked back.

Lebanese international Ghaleb Reda led the charge for Anibal with 20 points, sinking four of his five three-pointer attempts in an overall 7/14 field shooting.

Leroy Hurd controlled the boards with 7 collections to go with his 18 points and fellow American Jay Youngblood contributed 13 points.

Rodriguez enhanced his reputation as an upcoming point-guard dishing out 9 assists and collecting 8 rebounds.

Charles Tabet chipped in with 14 points in the win.

As against that combined Anibal charge, Riyadi looked scattered.

Their imports did well with Egyptian Ismail Ahmad returning an 18-point game to support Emmett, but the collective cohesive effort was missing.

Joe Vogel had 10 points and 5 rebounds, but the remaining Riyadi players combined for all of 14 points.

Game 2 of this best-of-five contest is slated for Saturday with Anibal playing host at Zahle.

Season leaders Champville and former three-time FIBA Asia Champions Cup winners Sagesse begin their Final Four series at the former’s Maristes on the morrow.

N.B:Sagesse Played with only one foreigner Nate Johnson !





BEIRUT, Lebanon (FLBB Divn. A League): Talismanic superstar Fadi El Khatib unleashed a fantastic triple double leading Champville to a whopping 96-76 win against former three-time FIBA Asia Champions Cup winners Sagesse in Game 1 of their Lebanese Division A League Final Four series in front of a euphoric Maristes crowd on Friday.

The 33-year-old guard, arguably one of the most charismatic players in FIBA Asia history, turned on a 12/21 field shooting for his 30 points, collected 7 rebounds in an overall collection of 10 boards and dished out 10 assists as Champville went on a rampage right from the word go.

American Sam Hoskin, a naturalized Lebanese, returned a double-double of 17 points and 13 rebounds and Marcus Haislip missed his double-double by one rebound scoring 16 points to play the perfect support role to El Khatib’s lead.

Karl Sarkis sank five of his 10 attempts from behind the arc for a game haul of 17 points to further strengthen Champville’s cause.

Sabah Khoury was Sagesse’s most productive player with 24 points. Nate Johnson had 20 points and 7 rebounds and Joseph Akkawi had 13 points.

Game 2 of this best-of-five series is scheduled at Sagesse’s Ghazir on Sunday.
