B Red Round 1 (Regular Season): BKG-Prima topple TF Budapest

The Regular Season in B Red just started. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

BKG-Prima edged TF Budapest in Debrecen 83-80. Point guard Botond Nagy (178-1994) stepped up and scored 34 points (!!!) for the winners and American forward Dean Reiber (208-2001, college: Charlotte) chipped in 21 points and 7 rebounds. At the losing side American forward Kevin Swanson (201-1993, college: UMSL) responded with a double-double by scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds. TF Budapest's coach Miklos Bors rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. TF Budapest will play next round against Veszprem trying to get back on the winning streak. BKG-Prima will try to continue on its current victory against MEAFC in Miskolc.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of MEAFC on the court of Tiszaujvaros. Visitors were defeated by Tiszaujvaros 87-82. American guard Carlbe Ervin II (190-1995, college: Kansas St.) nailed 27 points and 5 rebounds for the winning side and Botond Ormai accounted for 5 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Guard Janos Velkey (193-1995) came up with 23 points and 5 assists for MEAFC in the defeat. MEAFC's coach Gergo Szollar tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Tiszaujvaros will play against JKSE in Jaszberenyi in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. MEAFC will play at home against BKG-Prima to get more than just one victory in their record.
Quite upsetting was MAFC's home defeat in a game versus PVSK-Veolia 95-82. Szilard Balogh fired 20 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Gabor Bordacs produced 8 points, 19 rebounds and 4 assists for lost side. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. PVSK-Veolia will meet at home ZTE KK in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. MAFC's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Budapest to the arena Vasas.

There were no shocking results in the rest of the games of round 1: winless DEAC U23 lost to undefeated Salgotarjani on the opponent's court 66-67. JKSE managed to outperform Hubner NBS in a home game 71-70. Winless Veszprem lost to undefeated ZTE KK on the road 74-86.
