12 Nisan 2012 Antremanı - Recap

Sahanın dolu olmasından dolayı fazladan bir gün bekleyen Türk Kası oyuncuları, sabırsızca antremanın başlamasını bekliyordu. Sahaya en son gelen isim Kaptan Emrah Demir ile beraber hazır bulunanlar: Mehmet Özeren, Mehmet Güngör, Cem Gürses, Gül Ulu, Tunca Çaylant, Seçkin Demirkol (TD), Kenan Erginöz, Barış K. Övün (TD) ve Fatih Ön.

Isınma koşusu ve dinamik esneme rutini ile başlayan antremana T.D. Barış Övün'ün süpriz eklemesi damgasını vurdu: Snertz 15x Touch Ground Jump + 30m Sprint! Bacakları jöleye çeviren bu kısa drill, Türk Kası'nın fiziksel olarak hâlâ kat etmesi gereken uzun mesafenin kanıtı idi. Isınma sonrası atışlar (60's) gerçekleştirildi ve taktik idmana geçildi.

Türk Kası bir süredir oturtmaya çalıştığı 1-3-3 sistemine uygun olarak taktiksel antremana başlarken, Boğaziçi Fat Cats karşısında uygulanan başarılı cup'ı da bu taktiğin karşısına yerleştiriyor ve savunma ile hücumu aynı anda çalışıyordu. Handler grubunun hücum, Cutter grubunun cup olduğu bu drill süresince Türk Kası bir çok eksiğini görürken hoş ve eğlenceli anlar da yaşadı. Tecrübeli Handler'lar grubunun dump&swing esnasında gösterdikleri 'üstün başarı' sonucunda gaza gelmeleri, cup'ı "hadi cuuuup, yine kırıldınız, ooo dağılıyorsunuz" şeklindeki nükteli iğnemeleriden sonra kendileri cup'ı oluşturduğu zaman Cutter'lardan daha fena dağılmaları ve "ya disk size gelince 3'e kadar sayıp bekleyin, biz yetişelim." dahiyene fikrini bulmaları gecenin gülümseten anlarındandı.

İki saatin dolması ile antremanı bitiren Türk Kası için zaman yine fazlasıyla çabuk geçmişti. Ultimate açlıklarını dindirememiş olsalarda oyuncular, yorgun ama mutlu bir şekilde evlerinin yolunu tuttu.

Türk Kası vs Boğaziçi Fat Cats - Recap

TURK KASI - ORDER OF PHOENIX

After a very rough start (W1-L4) to Spring League, Turk Kası (TK) was very eager to show people that they still have the juice. Before today's Fat Cats (FC) game, TK used the two-week gap to decide, plan and act. New practice schedule, more intense and focused training, new selection process etc. And today was the judgement day, against the league's undefeated leaders Boğaziçi Fat Cats.

Turk Kası Roster: Emrah Demir (C), Seçkin Demirkol, Barış Övün, Gül Ulu, Julia Harte, Yakut Oktay, Cem Gürses, Mehmet Özeren, Owen Barron, Sean Cox, Tunca Caylant, Kenan Erginöz.

Supporters: Anıl Bayram, Aykut Çolak, Mehmet Güngör.

A windy but gorgeously sunny day at ITU Arena. Both teams are ready to play. First pull, and TK is on offense. After 5 minutes score was Türk Kası: 0 - Fat Cats: 2. After 10 minutes TK: 0 - FC: 4 So all that work was for nothing, is there no way to turn things over? TK players are making easy drops, can't connect passes, can't find open space to cut and with every little mistake players are getting more and more stressed, angry and frustrated. Without knowing at the end first half of the game score are TK: 0 - FC: 7.

Türk Kası is going down in flames. And finally a player loses his temper, Barış Övün, new Team Practice Coordinator. He's been known for his temper there it is. He screams at the line "Catch that .uckin disc." Not a professional move, certainly it has no place in Spirit of the Game but it was the first spark, something has to change. TK decides to switch from 1-3-3 to 3-2-2 on offense and from Man2Man to Cup on defense. From here it was a different game. Cem Gürses catches a great break side pass and makes the assist to Kenan Erginöz. A pull from TK and a chance to put Cup on FC offense. It's working. Sean Cox makes several D's on incut passes. Seçkin Demirkol smashes almost every long throw towards the endzone.  Gül Ulu & Julia Harte work very hard to make clean cuts and they are getting the disc. Two longs Owen Barron and Kenan Erginöz mesmerizes the FC monster player Emre Can. Tunca Çaylant and Emrah Demir (C) are making fast and sweet swings. This time, Türk Kası is on fire. Score: TK: 4 - FC: 7

It gets so hot that the game turns into a rather physical battle. It gets even more intense, with players from both teams shouting calls almost every point. FC feels the pressure. They try to resist but the Cup works very well. With the momentum TK gets the points but there isn't much time left. Just before the final whistle TK gets its 6th point, so the score is TK: 6 - FC: 7. One more point and the game will be decided by a universe point.

And Türk Kası gets chances; 4 times they try to score from 15 meters from the endzone. But legs are tired and excitement is beyond control. Owing to some poor decisions and bad luck FC finds an opening and scores the point. Final Score: Türk Kası: 6 - Fat Cats: 8

So Türk Kası loses again, but with smiling faces this time. Just two weeks of practice makes them remember what they are capable of. They put up a good fight and they show they still got the juice. Maybe it needs some shaking and stirring but damn it still tastes good.
