After 3 rounds played we can already see who rules in the West Asia Super League and who belongs to weaker ones. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Kuwaiti Kazma (1-1) in Kuwait City on Monday night. Hosts were defeated by Saudi Arabian Al Ittihad (2-0) 92-81. Al Ittihad looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. It was a great evening for who led his team to a victory scoring 22 points and 8 rebounds. Senegalese power forward Ibrahima Fall-Faye (207-1997) helped adding 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Al Ittihad's coach used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was Ahmad Albaloushi with 20 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
The game between Top Four teams took place in Kuwait City. Kuwaiti host Kuwait (1-1) defeated Saudi Arabian Al-Ula (1-1) 113-108. It was an exceptional evening for American Jamal Jones (203-1993, college: Texas A&M, agency: Slash Sports) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 25 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Charlie Moore accounted for 29 points and 5 assists. Lebanese guard Wael Arakji (193-1994) came up with 33 points (!!!) and 9 assists (on 13-of-16 shooting from the field) for Al-Ula in the defeat. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
