YD vs TPA Dream11: It’s Game-2 in the semi-final of Super Basketball League and Taoyuan Pauian Archiland will look to make the series even as they hit the road for an away game against Yulon Luxen Dinos on Thursday (IST). But considering how game-1 played out, Pauian needs to notch up their level by some margins.
Game 1 snippet:
The way action unfolded, Game-1 surprised one and all. It was totally out of the script as Pauian made a hash of the advantage of being the host. They struggled right from the off, couldn’t contain the Dinos’ relatively taller players, especially the 7’5” behemoth Sim Bhullar. Pauian will have to devise a perfect plan to contain Bhullar, for he can make them suffer on both ends of the court. Yulon Luxen Dinos, meanwhile, will hope that they repeat the performance, and they are capable of doing that. They may have finished third in the regular season with a 16-16 record, they were only one-game worse off than Pauian, who managed 17 wins and 15 defeats from 32 rounds.
What you can expect:
A response from Pauian as simple as that, but that won’t be easy, for the settings will be different, it will be Dinos who will have the familiarity of things as they play in front of the home fans. But Pauian are the best of the rest if we take the regular-season table. If any team other than leaders Taiwan Beer can make the comeback in the three-game series, then it has to be Pauian, who also beat Taiwan Beer three times this season. Quite an achievement considering Beer lost just seven games all season.

The main here is the roster and the availability of players. Dinos have both their international players available and will be lining up in this game as they host look to finish things off and make the third game irrelevant, while Pauian are rocked by Charles Garica’s absence, and certainly missed his services in game-1. In a game of this magnitude, experience count and at the moment, Pauian lack. That’s why we back the home team to get the win here and round off the series.
