There were only 2 rounds played so far and it's still very beginning of the Regular Season in NBL. There was no lack of excitement in the last round games. The round ended with loss of the undefeated team, derby games and games ending by tiny margin. Here is the last round review presented by ESL.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Adroit (2-1) at the home court on Sunday night. Hosts were edged by SAFSA (4-0) 76-74. SAFSA are looking forward to face Kai Xuan (#6) in the next round where they are favorite. Adroit will play against SBPHK H. in Singapore and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Singapore: SBPHK H. (#3) and Tagawa (#5). Tagawa was defeated at home 64-70 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. SBPHK H. will play against Adroit (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Tagawa will play against SG Bball and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Another interesting game was again a derby between two local teams from Singapore: SAFSA (#1) and Tagawa (#5). SAFSA (4-0) smashed visiting Tagawa (1-2) by 19 points 77-58. SAFSA will meet at home Kai Xuan (#6) in the next round where they are favorite. Tagawa will play against SG Bball and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Host SG Bball (2-1) lost to SAFSA (4-0) 95-78. SAFSA's next round opponent will be Kai Xuan (#6) where they are favorite. SG Bball will play against Tagawa and hope to win that game. Kai Xuan (1-2) saved a 1-point victory at home edging Min Yi (0-3) 50-49 on Friday evening. Kai Xuan will face SAFSA in Singapore in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game.
In the last two games of round 2 SG Bball won against Xin Hua on the opponent's court 74-60. SBPHK H. managed to outperform Xin Hua in a home game 74-69.
Kai Xuan (1-2) saved a 1-point victory at home edging Min Yi (0-3) 50-49 on Friday evening. Kai Xuan will face SAFSA in Singapore in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game.

Very expected game in Singapore where Xin Hua (0-3) was defeated by SG Bball (2-1) 74-60 on Sunday. SG Bball will face Tagawa (#7) in Singapore in the next round. Xin Hua's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Singapore to the arena Siglap.
Very predictable result in Singapore where SBPHK H. (3-0) defeated Xin Hua (0-3) 74-69 on Wednesday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. SBPHK H. will face Adroit (#3) in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Xin Hua's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Singapore to the arena Siglap.

Mono Vampire Bangkok (TBL) signed experienced 37-year old American power forward Christien Charles (216-102kg-81, college: Villanova). He played last season at Jobstreet.com Singapore Slingers in Singapore ASEAN League. In 15 games he had very impressive stats: 22.4ppg, 16.1rpg, 3.0apg, 1.2spg and 2.9bpg. Great season as he was named to Asia-Basket.com All-ASEAN League Honorable Mention. The list of the past achievements is quite long as among others Charles' team made it to the ASEAN League Semifinals in 2013, 2016 and 2017. He was also voted Asia-Basket.com All-ASEAN League Player of the Year and Asia-Basket.com All-ASEAN League 1st Team back in 2014. Charles is quite experienced player. He has played also professionally in Iran (Ararat), Lebanon, Philippines (Blackwater Elite), Saudi Arabia (Al Ahli Jeddah), Serbia, Syria (Al Jalaa and Al Jaish), Thailand (Thailand Slammers and Hitech), ABA (Chicago Steam) and Vietnam (Saigon Heat). Charles is close to retirement age as a player. It's very possible he may end his playing career at Mono Vampire. Charles attended Villanova University until 2006 and it will be his 13th (hopefully lucky) (!!!) season as a professional player. He could be described:
Christien is a true 7 footer who has tremendously improved his game since he finished college due to an outstanding work ethic. As a reserve on the nationally ranked Villanova team, Christien had the opportunity to be trained by some of the best coaches in the country. He has developed into a very good player who plays with a lot of energy and heart. Very active big man that can run the floor extremely well. Fundamentally sound. Rebounds, passes well, scores and blocks shots. If left open, he can also knock down the 15 foot jump shot with consistency. Slender build. Must improve strength to reach full potential. Once rated as a top 5 center in the country behind such notable current NBA centers Tyson Chandler & Eddie Curry. Made Chicago Bulls summer league squad that featured Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah & Tyrus Thomas. Solid overseas resume that includes back to back championships with two different teams. Coachable, unselfish team player that has been groomed by the likes of Jay Wright & legendary big man coach Pete Newell. Christien would be a valuable asset to any team looking to add some size & skill.
