look @ wat de luna did to van den berg

De Luna slowed down his pace DRAMATICALLY... it was unbearable just watching it... I can only imagine how it was for Van Den Berg.
 
lol

he took 4ever to clean up the remaining balls to win the match

something like a slow death for nick.

hes a good friend and a great dad though
 
Holy $&@! that was painful to watch. He was shooting like a filipino Basavich.
 
Dear lord, he was milking the crowd.
He cussed on that shape on the 6-ball ( sob he said ).
Why?
 
Good out

I think he played slow because it was match game, which is appropriate. It bothers me when the announcers minimize the difficulty of shots, especially in that pressure situation. Particularly the shot to get shape on the 9, was a pure speed shot, taking into account how thick he hit the object ball. With that kind of pressure, getting just the right speed is very tough. And the shot on the 9, without perfect shape, under that pressure was difficult. It was a great out and well played.
 
I may be in the minority here, but that showed some arrogance that the Filipinos don't usually show. That was way out of his normal rhythm and was unnecessary on that cosmo. What was the grin for after he sipped his water on the hanging 6?!?

That grin disappeared when his condescending slow play backfired when he got poor shape on the 9.
 
There was NO arrogance there at all.He was just nervous.That was a HUGE match for De Luna,Taking out one of the TOP players from europe.

I agree with Chesscat, he did not slow down that much till the 9 ball. It was not a great out though, pretty simple really, the shape on the 9 was the only 'iffy' shot.
