Update from first match in Nations Cup 3'rd round from John and Jimmy: Jedi vs parvozrokh
John Mcenroe Jimmy Connors
Clarck Kent: The nations cup is moving
forward to round 3 where Norway is to face Iran. I let the backgammon
experts take over from here, over to you guys, Jimmy & John
John: Al right...we're back on the
centre court for the third round of the Nations Cup where we have
whitnessed another astonishing attack performance by the Jedi.
Connors: And as always...when Jedi is
playing...It's totally packed....
John: I know...i'ts unbelivable...even
my mother is here!
Connors: I mean...what could we expect
here. An old veteran returning to the game, the crowd is behind
him....John, I gotta tell you....I feel sorry for the other guy!
John: Well, it's by no means easy. The
Iranian guy was under pressure already before the match started. He
knew..If he can't hold up to that big serve Jedi holds....It's just over!!! Jedi comes in to the net and cubes.... The preassure is
on.., constantly!
Connors: And Mackie...
John: Yes?
Connors: The crowd it loving it!
John: And also...what can the Iranian really do If he does not have dices made of Cryptonite?
Connors: Macky!
John: What?
Connors: Clark just fainted....
John: pfff...That guy is such a vimp! Why did Jedi hire him in the first place?
Connors: Dunno...al right let's look at
the statistics:

John: Well...Jedi is still not so stable from the baseline as he used to be...but he kinda compensates for it with his constant attacking style:
Connors: Yeah, thats true John, and if the opponent is not ready for it...it puts him of.
John: Let's look at some of the stuff Jedi did wrong in this match:
Jedi leads 8-2 in an 11 point match: Jedi on roll, Cube action?
John: I mean, Jedi has just fired that big serve, he moved forward as usual...and you just know he will fire that cube...and he does!!!
Connors; Yea, but this approach was a bit to early I think. He came in just a second to late, giving the opppnent just that neccecary angle to hit a passing shot. Let's hear it from HAWKEYE:
Hawkeye: Yaohooo, finally! This XG guy is so boring!!! Well let me tell you guys. On this matchscore this is just too aggressive, Jedi should cool it at least one more throw. Its a cube blunder, giving up 0.8%
John: Alright Jimmy, Jedi keeps picking
the points for Norway...what can we expect from the other guys?
Connors: Well...I don't think Norway
has to fear too much about Roisets form at the moment. I mean...the guy is
practically a Jedi product. They have the same attacking style of play, only at this point..., JK is a bit more stabile from the baseline. I mean...the guy knows winning!
John: What about the others guys on the
team, Norty and Sonrik?
Connors: Well...they are by all means
favorites in this particular match...but look at their winrate Mackie. Not at all good so far for these players.
John: Is it the lack of international
experience?
Connors: Well...that could be one factor. Take this
guy Norty for instance. Technically he plays brilliant as long as the
matches don't go to 5 sets. I mean...it looks like his errors appear
when the preassure is on and the stamina gets put to a test.
John: But do you think he will pull it
through this time?
Connors: Again...the math is simple.When u have a world
champion in your ring corner...and a Jedi!!!....I don't see how you
can loose! I mean Norty has two defeats so far...but Mack... he is better
than this!
John: And what about the cap, Sonrik.
Connors: I mean...the guy obviously
knows the game...but... he has not been out there in the same way as
Jedi and Roiset....fighting on the international, and intergalactical arena.. He needs to pull
through...for him self and for the team!
John: You think he Is up for it?
Connors: Well... due to all the time
and energy Jedi has put down on the guy in trainig ...day
out, day in, he better be ready! There are bigger matches coming up, and
Norway needs not just the Jedi's to deliver..., if they are going to win
the tournament!
John: Alright! Norway 1 Iran 0. That was all for now.
Back to you Clark!
Conners: Mackie....he is still out!
John: Oh...right....well, we will be
back from centrecourt in a cople of days with more action from the
Nations Cup.
Jimmy and John out!
