00:00And I think for him it comes down to playing without a lot of pressure, right?
00:03And yet last year he was a full-time member of Team UB.
00:06Their leading scorer is M. Holla, Alujaweki, seven points a game,
00:11also three rebounds, and he does not turn it over.
00:13Absolutely none, game one.
00:15Okay, everybody, don't worry.
00:17It's time to play ball, quarterfights.
00:19Somebody get me a new chair, please.
00:21Here we go.
00:23UB Lugano, two-piece on the way.
00:26Broncovich will miss it, but he's there to clean up his own mess.
00:29He does his own chores around here, and UB will draw first blood from one.
00:37UB looking for seventh Masters title this year.
00:41It would be a record-setting one, in case you did not know already.
00:46Lugano trying to go back-to-back.
00:48Two Masters titles in a row.
00:51Nobody's done that except for UB this season.
00:55Big Gill will kick it out to the leading scorer, M. Holla.
00:58Not happening that time.
01:00Stojic is making his move on Alujaweki.
01:03Solid defense so far.
01:04Doc Strange.
01:05Oh, nice match.
01:06Mishing.
01:07Tabarac right back to the doctor.
01:09A little hot potato.
01:12They moved the ball so well.
01:13And again, this is what they're known for, right?
01:15They always got that chemistry.
01:16They're always together.
01:17Whoever is on the court for them.
01:18Lugano, who have obviously switched into that drop coverage, but are also doing it with
01:22their shorter players, who haven't done that before.
01:26And King West.
01:2811-7 now for the King West smash.
01:31Van Kiela.
01:35Oh, look at the move from Stefan Stojic.
01:38It's three in a row for Mr. Roba.
01:4112-7.
01:45Lugano, he bottled up now.
01:46He's got to give it up to somebody.
01:48How did he get that pass to Motenny?
01:51That had some sorcery on him.
01:5312-8.
01:54Off iron.
01:55That one goes.
01:56Loose ball.
01:57Kronach will come away with this one.
01:59Two-possession lead for Oob past the midway point.
02:034-51 and counting.
02:05They're going to leave Mr. Roba again.
02:07He's going rogue.
02:1214-8.
02:14Continuing his small over.
02:16Olujewieki with a wide open look.
02:17It won't go.
02:19They didn't manage to close out the last two possessions for Oob.
02:22And Barac has got him a couple of scores.
02:26Olujewieki lines one up.
02:27Loose ball lands in Mr. Roba's hands.
02:32Stephon to Strahinia.
02:34Strahinia.
02:35I-N-A-W.
02:36He's going to call game again.
02:39You know they pick it up.
02:41It's him again.
02:43Doc Strange and Oob.
02:46Easy breezy.
02:47Struggle this year.
02:48He's improved.
02:48We talked about this.
02:49But Kropp is playing at a much higher level.
02:52Five points a game.
02:54They are the most physical.
02:55The biggest team there.
02:56Didn't think they would be here.
02:58So they started more playing from...
02:59They are the most physical.
03:01The biggest team there.
03:02Yeah.
03:02Didn't think they would be here.
03:04So they started more playing from...
03:06Quarter final number two.
03:07Skyliners Kanazawa.
03:10Voice of 3X3.
03:11Kyle Montgomery in your ear with Boz Rosendahl.
03:14The Mountain.
03:16Final day of play here in Abu Dhabi.
03:18Making it last.
03:19Official DJ.
03:20Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
03:21The 3X3 World Tour is back for a 10th year.
03:29Boz.
03:30Boz.
03:31Andrew Boz.
03:32I was remixing the song that DJ Lass was singing.
03:35Lasset.
03:36Lasset.
03:39He's got it.
03:40Yeah, nice.
03:41Yeah, Lasset.
03:42He's got it.
03:43We've got a scoreless game.
03:45Just scratching the surface.
03:47Oh, speedy.
03:48To the buckets.
03:49What a layup.
03:53Lasset like a katana.
03:56In and out.
03:58Maybe this is a game where...
04:01Back up top, Chef Koya.
04:06That pick and roll is working.
04:07Brian finished this one.
04:09A high percentage.
04:10Chef serving up a dish.
04:13Ability with the Skyliner team.
04:16And the versatility.
04:17And the way they run their system.
04:19Everybody gets a chance to touch it.
04:26Oh.
04:27Throw that one away.
04:28Kropp.
04:29It's the deck.
04:40Kanazawa in possession.
04:43Body foul on the drive.
04:49He's back to being a perimeter player.
04:52Scott hasn't featured much in post-ups like he was yesterday in that win over Carolina.
04:57He's attacking from the outside.
05:00Look, Skylines is a sizable squad, right?
05:03So, I get it.
05:04But with his physicality.
05:08No chill gill.
05:09All right.
05:11You reach, I teach.
05:14Prop with the patience.
05:19That one's thrown away.
05:20Leave it up to Kevin Bryant.
05:21And with zero, Kevin Bryant to the line.
05:24You can seal the deal here.
05:27Bryant.
05:28Down mill.
05:29I think the number one throw.
05:30But it gets one more.
05:36One more to go for Kevin Bryant.
05:38One more to go for Kevin Bryant.
05:42This is a both.
05:45Giovanni.
05:45Giovanni, no.
05:46Off the line.
05:47Bryant with a rebound to Kroic.
05:49Stole it away.
05:50They don't clear it, though.
05:52And the ball's not cleared.
05:55Skyline is going to be awarded a couple more seconds to draw up one final play.
05:58Skyline is 3.7 seconds.
06:01I like the fact that they're so aware of where they're at in standings that they want to get those last couple of points.
06:07He's fouled.
06:10It'll be two shots.
06:14Now, a couple of shots for Chef Koya.
06:17They're fine.
06:17Koya, J.K.A. Chef Koya, the number three scorer on the World Tour.
06:23Koya.
06:25Already with a couple of game winners.
06:27He is three-thaw number one.
06:28Get him to that 21-point mark right here, right now.
06:33Stefan Koyic.
06:35His third point up, though.
06:37Get him second.
06:38He's got two.
06:39And that's what he's going to end up with.
06:41Scott will get it to fall, but it is a...
06:43He's been setting up his teammates for good opportunities.
06:46And it's led to nothing but wins for this Miami team.
06:50A must-win game for them.
06:52No pun intended, but you get what I mean.
06:54They got Jewish Rambo back in the fold with the Joker.
06:57The Joker on deck.
06:59Forward here is their opportunity against the Luz.
07:02We're back on from Abu Dhabi.
07:04The voice of 3X3.
07:05Kyle Montgomery in your ear.
07:07In the paint is Han.
07:09Pull up.
07:10Jump from Big Senny.
07:15Rambo will clear some space.
07:16And not even Caruso could hold him off.
07:20And we will drop it off to Big Senny.
07:22Han with the step back.
07:24Get off.
07:24Rolls off the iron instead.
07:29Oh, Joker will turn it over.
07:32Real deal.
07:34Dish delivered.
07:35Dime time.
07:38And timing on that backdoor cut, as we always see from Handy Caruso, just spot on.
07:43And the passing on this American team, led by the real deal.
07:49Dylan Travis' ability to get his teammates involved and deliver those passes with pinpoint precision.
07:56I've been really impressed with his ability to pass this year.
08:01Who can guard Miami's backdoor cuts?
08:04And the better question is, how do you do it?
08:06I don't, I have no answer.
08:08I mean, there are some answers, but in a court that is as big as the half court that we play on,
08:13it's so hard to stick with your defender and contain and keep contact.
08:17Do you drop?
08:18Do you cushion?
08:18I mean, when you do that, they got the shooters that can make you pay, right?
08:22Well, that and they have to, they can attack the closeout.
08:25So the regular way of doing it is just keeping physical contact with the guy you're playing defense on.
08:31But with a court this big and the continuous movement of Miami, it is so difficult.
08:36You can't ever go away from your assigned offending.
08:40Suhard's getting into a groove.
08:42He scored three straight.
08:44You go now.
08:44Steps back.
08:45Balls.
08:46Two ball.
08:47P-p-p-p-p-p-p-yeah.
08:50Suhard has come alive.
08:52This jumper prior to this game was dead.
09:02It had rigor mortis on it.
09:04Fouls to give, too, so they can use a couple.
09:11Possession.
09:11Miami ball.
09:133.9.
09:13Possession Miami.
09:14The potential between game clock and shot clock.
09:18Travis.
09:19Suhard in.
09:20Travis, rather.
09:22Passed to Suhard defense.
09:25Ugo will miss it.
09:27That rebound will seal it.
09:29Miami going back to the semis.
09:33And this game will be lost in history, but you've got to give Toulouse credit for showing up in this one.
09:38They played a really, really good game up until the last minute and a half.
09:41I think in an odd way, this is still a momentum builder for them in a way.
09:46It's the best they played in a while, but still not enough for a big city who leads the way with eight points for Miami.
09:56Dillon Travis with six in a 19-15 W.
10:00For Miami, semifinals secure.
10:03How far can they take it here in Abu Dhabi?
10:07We will find out.
10:08I'm sure they've turned that around.
10:10And again, with Wordy and Marken, it's good.
10:13I mean, look, they'd like that.
10:15Leading the team and scored.
10:17He's got Leonard Schultz out there.
10:19And Mount Rotimi over Nighi.
10:27Balconek.
10:28Oh, yeah.
10:30Winner player is going to learn.
10:31Balconek does this to so many different dudes.
10:36It just means that he pays a lot of attention to detail in the games, right?
10:39Any which way he can get a bucket, he will try to get it on.
10:42Mind you, by the way, Kyle, Amsterdam has not made it out of the quarterfinals, I mean.
10:50In the last two matches they played, for a team that ran to the finals in the beginning of the season three times.
10:56Not a great result.
10:57Last time they made it into the semis was in Debede.
11:01That was a good bit of golf.
11:03So they are hungry.
11:05Famished, in fact, to get to at least the semis.
11:08The G-man will stop short of the drive.
11:14The G-force forcing up a shot.
11:17It goes with the fact.
11:20Been defending worthy here, huh?
11:22I do like it.
11:23I think the G-man is the best point of attack defender baskets by on half.
11:27Oh, but look what...
11:27Oh, that is what we're talking about!
11:30Now time, and give you a block!
11:33Denzel Ajeeman throws it out.
11:38Matching up with Worthy, well on that possession.
11:46Oh, Balkanek lost his footing.
11:49No hope, really, on that shot.
11:51Schultz, like to see him shoot it more confidently.
11:54Off-fire and it goes, but don't look now.
11:57Basketball and Telecom up or down by two.
12:02Balkanek navigates the lane.
12:05Schultz now to CDB.
12:07CDB, what a pass out to Mount Rotimi.
12:10Can Ogonegye hit one?
12:11Not that time.
12:13High rebound.
12:14Baikame draws the foul.
12:16He will shoot.
12:17He plays the winner.
12:17He plays the winner.
12:24Schultz, a D, a glass cracker.
12:3330 ticks left.
12:37The connect.
12:37Too high.
12:39Worthy.
12:43Off the miss now.
12:44Baikame in.
12:46A little strong on the layup attempt.
12:49So, probably the last possession here for Amstel.
12:52Down.
12:55Amstel.
12:56Damn.
12:58Eight points for the connect.
13:03And they won't get a shot up.
13:05They won't even need it.
13:07It's a 19-11 victory for Amsterdam,
13:11who made that one look easy against Basketball and Telecom.
13:14His team, it's come down to them adjusting on the fly.
13:18Stefan Stoicic added, and I talked to them a little bit backstage.
13:21They haven't had time.
13:21It's been Koyita's tournament, as he's the top scorer for this Skyliners team.
13:29He and Kropp actually sharing the scoring lead at six per.
13:33Buckle up, ladies and gentlemen.
13:35The Simas are underway from Abu Dhabi 2025.
13:39Chef Koya, what's he got cooking?
13:41Nothing on the opening possession.
13:43As the rebound goes to Oub quickly inside to Bronquilla, who draws the foul on Fatigue.
13:52Two teams fairly evenly matched size-wise.
13:55All right.
13:56And Kropp will be the biggest player in this matchup.
14:03Strahinia trying to attack Kevin Bryant.
14:06That is going to favor the doctor.
14:11Lockdown being harassed by Doc Strange.
14:13Fatigue trying to get rid of his brother.
14:16Stefan gets a hand up.
14:18Fatigue drops him off anyway.
14:19Your stop is here, Mr. Robot.
14:23It's 2-1.
14:26Doctor Strange straight on.
14:29Buckets.
14:30One-point lead for Oub and a shove on Bronquilla.
14:33Both teams get into their offense efficiently at the start.
14:42Kyle Montgomery, a.k.a. the voice of 3X3.
14:44In your ear right now, Boz Rosendahl, our 3X3 specialist, alongside.
14:52Chef Koya still off target on the second two attempts of the game.
14:57Former teammates, Stefan Stojicic and Jeff Koya, who won a World Tour final together with Lehman.
15:06Now battling here in the semifinals.
15:08His understanding of the game as well.
15:10And, of course, the veteran that Koya just played the game forever.
15:13I was going to mention that.
15:14That's what Brian talked about.
15:16The fact that Koya is just not letting up on them on all the details of the game.
15:21In a good way.
15:22Yeah.
15:23The small things matter.
15:25There are minute details.
15:29Good screens.
15:32Not picking up offensive fouls.
15:34Learning to pick and roll like that.
15:40Dronkowicz, tough attempt.
15:43He will get a whistle.
15:46And he's on his way to the charity stripe where he's shot at 86% this year.
15:51But Dronkowicz gets a tough defender in Kropp with that length.
15:58Did you see Leon Fertig step right to Niklas Kropp and try to give him some encouragement?
16:03That's a guy that needs to get some positive remarks every now and then.
16:06It needs to get a fire lit under him just a little bit.
16:08I think Fertig picking up on that leadership role that we've seen grow from him in the last couple of years.
16:13Yeah, especially when he's seen it really with the national team this year.
16:20Strange on the baseline.
16:23Bang outs.
16:24Jeff Koenig to Fertig.
16:28Driving, dishing, finding KP.
16:31Point game for the Skyliners.
16:36Doc Strange.
16:37Doc Strange now.
16:38Badach gathers his feet and will get Uber within a possession.
16:44But they got to kill him with the rock in his hands.
16:47Chef Koya.
16:48He is going to call game.
16:51Long time no speak.
16:53Chef Koya cooks up a win for the Skyliners in the semis.
16:58Semi's Uber out at this stage for the second straight year.
17:04Here's what the chef got cooking.
17:07Game over.
17:09Eight points for him.
17:11And the Skyliners have the remedy for Dr. Strange and Uber.
17:15And they will play in the second final of the season.
17:19And you can understand with Kelly Caruso, Dylan Travis in particular leading the way on that part.
17:25Miami may be bound in their quarterfinal wins.
17:28Both teams didn't shoot the ball as well as they'd like to in those quarterfinal wins.
17:33Both teams played great defense in the quarterfinal wins.
17:37And there's a demise.
17:39We are on.
17:41Skyliners waiting on the winner.
17:44As the rivals renew.
17:48Foul connect.
17:48Foul connect.
17:49Oh yeah.
17:49Plenty of contact.
17:50On.
17:51And he is found.
17:54We will touch the wrist or the hand.
18:01And we'll put foul connect on the strike.
18:05Monte B.
18:06Yes, indeed.
18:08Foul connect.
18:09Scoring to the tune of eight points per game in this tournament.
18:12He's now five of six from the free throw line.
18:17Collecting three rebounds a game as well.
18:20And there's the connect.
18:22Blugged in to start this off.
18:232-0 start for Amsterdam.
18:25Damn.
18:27Here comes Big City.
18:29He's going to keep it 100.
18:33100.
18:33You get it?
18:34Never mind.
18:35Oh no.
18:35Two-piece.
18:37The start for Miami.
18:39Big City gets a hand up.
18:41In the fans.
18:43Worthy cared nothing of the defense.
18:47He drains it for Deuce.
18:49Get up there.
18:51The American Eagle takes flight.
18:53Worthy wants another Deuce.
18:55It ain't happening that time.
18:57Big City.
18:58He's got foul connect.
18:59Now he's got Dreeson defending.
19:01He decides to give it up to the Caruso.
19:03He's got a good show.
19:05Han will keep it alive for Miami.
19:07Kicked over to Andrew.
19:10Nope.
19:12Not typically the shot they would look for in the offense with Kelly taking that deuce.
19:17Now it's Travis getting a hand up.
19:19Oh, he was a day late and a dollar short.
19:22Two for a dollar for Deion.
19:26Now it's Han.
19:27Quick score for him.
19:29One possession game.
19:30Worthy has been shoot and shoot.
19:32Not make that one, however.
19:38Maybe a bit of a heat check there.
19:39Yeah.
19:43We were speaking about the need for Amsterdam to start finding that touch from Deeb.
19:50They have got it going in this one.
19:52Albeit that miss from Worthy.
19:55Anytime.
19:56Continues to use the window.
19:58Right off the square.
20:01Second one of the game like that for Dylan Travis.
20:03Big Drizzy.
20:04Head full of steam and curls.
20:07He bounces his way to the bucket.
20:09And it's 15-13.
20:11What a different version of Jan Dreeson we've seen in this game.
20:14Had been aggressive all tournament.
20:16Oh, nice set up to Kelly.
20:22Uh-oh, Alberts.
20:25Well, Matt.
20:27Miami are starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together right before our eyes.
20:32But Amsterdam not dead in this one yet.
20:35They need a stop and they need it right now.
20:39Cover the cut.
20:41They're going to leave it up to Big City.
20:44Han for the dub.
20:47Michelin star does it again.
20:54Mitch Han late in this game.
20:56As we approach Halloween.
20:59Scary hours.
21:01He is haunting teams.
21:05Get it?
21:06All right.
21:06Enough of that.
21:07What a performance though.
21:09Second time this year.
21:11They were there in Debritton.
21:13And they came up short that time.
21:16Looking for their first Masters title.
21:19Willen.
21:20Thielen.
21:21Travis.
21:21He's up to 14 key assists in the tournament.
21:29I think we mentioned it in the semifinals.
21:31But he has.
21:32For the headliner.
21:34The Skyliners against Miami for $40,000.
21:38And our 15th Masters crown this year.
21:41Chef Coya.
21:42Off Ireland's first attempt.
21:44Fatigue will take it.
21:45He runs into a double team.
21:47A bullet pass.
21:48That is swatted out.
21:50You could have kept that game.
21:53Caruso.
21:54Faker.
21:55Missed it.
21:56Who's ball?
21:57And I believe Coyitz touched that last.
22:04Mitch Han will come through every now and then with an athletic display that you don't expect.
22:09This is how the ball went out of bounds.
22:11But that swat was something.
22:13Now Caruso.
22:15Don't you turn your back on me.
22:18Scores it over Kevin Bryant.
22:20And gets Miami on the board.
22:24Oh, step back.
22:27Cartigue no good.
22:29Han.
22:30Two ball.
22:31Corner.
22:31Pocket.
22:33He's Han-tastic here day two.
22:36It was Mitch with big shot making late in the semis.
22:41By two.
22:41Skyliners 14th in the world to a standings.
22:47100 points would do a lot for them.
22:51Oh, that's the second time that Kropp has blown a layup.
22:55I don't think he told you he's going to be that open.
22:59Kropp puts his foot on the gas.
23:02Has it broken up.
23:03Bryant.
23:04Position will remain the same.
23:072.9 seconds on the shot clock.
23:09Miami ball.
23:11Miami ball.
23:14Han.
23:15So now it's big sinning.
23:18Oh.
23:19Han will bank it in.
23:21The glass party falls at home.
23:24Right at the horn.
23:27Ryan.
23:29Ryan will contort.
23:31Can't finish it.
23:32But he gets a whistle.
23:33He's struggling to contain the Skyliners.
23:4814.
23:50Oh, good defense.
23:52Caruso had him in cuffs.
23:57Skyliners take the lead.
23:59Uh-oh.
23:59He caught him slipping.
24:00He is head hunting.
24:02Get it?
24:03Get it?
24:06Mitch Han with the two-handed yammer on Kevin Bryant's dome piece.
24:13Oh, no.
24:15He's a head hunter.
24:17Mitch Han.
24:21Oh, no.
24:22Oh, big sentiment.
24:23Just got him with the two-handed pose.
24:28Wow.
24:28Well, that's a way to even up the game with 24 seconds left.
24:35That's definitely making the highlights.
24:3817-17.
24:4024.1.
24:41It's scary hours.
24:43Game two possessions left.
24:44Haunted Han.
24:46Gammon on a man to even the game.
24:49It's back tied again.
24:51Oh, and that's a big turnover.
24:54Quips.
24:55Oh, he got tripped.
24:56He got tripped.
24:57So, he's got an argument.
24:59He keeps.
25:01Let's take a look.
25:02Who tripped him?
25:03Oh, it was Caruso.
25:04So, well, that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes.
25:09Anyway, we got 15 seconds left in this game.
25:13Caruso to Han.
25:15Wait a minute.
25:16They went out of time, but that's because the shot clock was not correct.
25:20They're going to fix it.
25:21All right.
25:22It's five seconds.
25:25On the shot clock.
25:2617 up.
25:2710 seconds to go.
25:29It is Han.
25:30Has he?
25:31Has he?
25:32Mitch misses it.
25:33We're either going to overtime or Fatigue is going to call game.
25:40What you been up to?
25:42Chilling, waiting on you.
25:46Skyliners are the headliners in Abu Dhabi.
25:52It is Leon Fatigue dialing it up and calling game.
26:00They've been waiting to hear from Neil.
26:02The Skyliners get it done.
26:05Miami settled for second.
26:08Fatigue with an incredible final game.
26:12What a game.
26:1310 big ones.
26:15What a game.
26:15To lead the Skyliners.
26:17And Team Skyliners.
26:19To the W.
26:20Another look at the last bucket at the horn.
26:24One right in the nick of time.
26:27About to go down in a little bit.
26:31I think we might have an idea who the MVP could be for the Skyliners.
26:36It ain't official yet.
26:37Here we go from Team Skyliners.
26:42All right, here comes the confetti shower.
26:49That's going to go over well on the ground.
26:51Leon Fatigue, MVP.
27:00Stefan Shevkoia with his first title in two years.
27:06Nicholas Kropp, who we saw his game continue to evolve.
27:10Played great.
27:11And the two-way menace and services of Kevin Bryant.
27:17A well-rounded effort for the Skyliners.
