The second best player in last round's games was another P.Luanda's star - young Egyptian Patrick Gardner (211-C-1999). Gardner had a very good evening with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Bad luck as Atletico Petroleos de Luanda was edged by slightly higher-ranked
ASCVD (#1, 2-1) 65-64. It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. P.Luanda still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss.

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.
The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
