RP-SMB TRIPS SOUTH KOREA FOR 3RD STRAIGHT WIN
Pinoys share lead with USA, Russia


TAIPEI, Taiwan – It was payback time for Asi Taulava.

The pain of losing in the 2002 Asian Games semifinals via a last-second jumper still fresh in his mind, the 6-9 Taulava asserted his might in the paint and powered RP-San Miguel Beer to a thrilling 79-75 victory over South Korea Monday in the 27th R. William Jones Cup International basketball championships at the Taipei Physical Education College gym here.




Expecting the Koreans to break their plays down and force them to go to the perimeter, the Filipinos decided to pound the ball down low. The big men responded to the call and gave RP-SMB its third win in as many starts and the share of the lead in the 10-nation meet alongside the Americans and the Russians.



The United States, represented by Passing Lane Sports which also competed in the recent Global Hoops Summit like the Philippine-SMB squad, also improved to 3-0 when it defeated Kazakhstan 88-78 while the Samara team of Russia did the same with a 93-64 rout of Australia-AIS.



Playing his best game so far, Taulava scattered a team-high 14 points, mostly coming when the Nationals were making a run and when the Koreans started closing in. He got ample help from Kerby Raymundo, who also had his breakout game, chipping in nine points while holding his own on the other end against the Korean big men.



Though vengeance didn’t come at the expense of the players in the 2002 Asiad team as South Korea is represented in the Jones Cup by its 23-and-under team, Taulava said it’s still a reason for him to celebrate.



“It’s really feels good beating Korea,” said Taulava, part of the Philippine team which lost the chance for the gold in the 2002 Asiad in Busan when Lee Sang Min connected on a last-second shot. “That loss hurt a lot. And I’m glad we played a good game against Korea this time.”



Trailing 33-34 at the half, RP-San Miguel Beer’s big men buckled down to work in the second half. They took the ball strong to the hoop. When bottled up down low, they flicked the pass to Jay-Jay Helterbrand or Brandon Cablay. A three-point play by Helterbrand gave the Nationals a 69-56 lead with 6:26 to go in the game.



But just like the Energizer bunny, the Koreans kept going and going. Coach Jin Hyo-Joon let his long-range bombers loose. A three-pointer from Yang Hee-Jong sparked a big comeback that got Korea to within two twice, the last time at 75-77 on a split by Kim Yong-Hwan from the stripe, time down to 34.3 seconds.



A defensive lapse by the Koreans, however, allowed Dondon Hontiveros easy access to the lane for an easy layup with 14.8 seconds remaining. That basket pegged the final score as Kang Byung-Hun was called for traveling in the next play.



“Asi was a force on both offense and defense,” said national coach Chot Reyes, who played with only nine men after Willie Miller was sidelined due to injury. “It’s really the worst time to lose someone like Willie, when we’re up against a team like Korea. But people stepped up and everyone contributed.”



“The first one-third of the job is done. We’re up against a relatively light opponent tomorrow, and then the big games come in again,” Reyes added.



Kelly Williams, who scored only a solitary point in the Filipinos’ first two games, fired nine points, two coming from an alley-oop dunk that got the crowd on its feet early in the fourth period.



Despite their superb effort, RP-San Miguel Beer’s big men didn’t quite dominate the paint. Korean 6-9 center Joo ***-Soo challenged them in the lane and finished with a game-high 23 points for his team which suffered its first defeat in three games.



The Filipinos go up against India at 4 p.m. Tuesday.



In other games, ABC Champions Cup titlist Qatar improved to a 2-1 slate with a 78-69 victory over Japan while the Chinese-Taipei home team bounced back from a 95-74 drubbing the day before at the hands of the Americans by venting its ire on India 111-70 to also hike its record to 2-1.



The Japanese, Kazakhs, Australians and India share the cellar with their identical 0-3 slates.



The scores:



RP-SMB 79 – Taulava 14, Cablay 11, Helterbrand 11, Raymundo 9, Williams 9, Hontiveros 9, de la Cruz 7, Adducul 6, de Ocampo 3.



South Korea 75 – Joo 23, No 15, Yang 13, Kim YH 9, Kang 6, Kim J 5, Lee HM 4, Lee KJ 0, Song 0, Park 0.



Quarterscores: 17-18, 33-34, 59-51, 79-75.

Chot names RP team to Brunei Cup

RP coach Chot Reyes has named the players he’ll bring to Brunei for an invitational tourney from Aug. 20-28 which could serve as part of the final stages of their preparation for the Asia-Fiba championship in September — in case Fiba lifts its suspension of the Philippines and the country is allowed to compete in the Asian championship as wildcard entry.

Named to the RP squad for the fifth Shell Rimula Cup Brunei basketball tournament are Jimmy Alapag, Jayjay Helterbrand, Renren Ritualo, Dondon Hontiveros, Danny Seigle, Kenny Williams, Kerby Raymundo, Nic Belasco, Billy Mamaril, Romel Adducul, Dorian Peña and Asi Taulava.

Alapag will miss the first game of the team coming from Florida where he’s attending a basketball camp.

This will be the RP team’s third foreign stint in two months – part of Reyes’ long-term program geared towards a return stint by the Philippines in the Olympics in 2008.

Reyes and the national training pool continue to work hard in training although there’s no certainty when would the basketball crisis in the country be solved.

The lifting of the suspension of the Philippines in all Fiba-sanctioned tourneys is under appeal

[ownertype]

8 players, sa roster ni Chot stands 6'5 and above. Biggest lineup natin to sa far sa mga sinasalihan natin international tourneys this year. I hope ma lift na yung FIBA ban and allow the RP team to play as a wild card sa Doha, Qatar.

BTW, saw sa Star Sports and Chinese national team playing against Australia sa Philipps 4 Nation (Lithuania, NZ, Australia, and China) Tournament. Tambak sila sa Boomers, pero this chinese line-up doesn't have Yao, Bateer and Wang Zhizhi.

[flakez]

napanood ko din ung sa china saka australia, kaso hindi ko natapos. hindi na pala nakahabol ung china. mukhang may bagong YAO nanaman ung china. ung 18 years old na matangkad. saka mukhang mas mabilis siya kesa kay YAO. saka mapapasama pa ba sa line-up nila si wang? last time i heard parang ayaw yata siyang paglaruin o siya ung may ayaw kasi may contract pa siya sa NBA..... para namang ginagamit siya sa NBA....... hehehe

parang pang final line-up na ni Chot yan ah. si Menk na lang kulang saka sana bumalik na laro ni danny ildefonso para mapasama siya. wahehehehe.

[ILuvDetailing]

Di pinapalaro si Wang Zhi Zhi kasi nag AWOL siya sa mga commitments niya sa Chinese National Team.

para namang ginagamit siya sa NBA

last time I checked he's with the Miami Heat warming his butt at the end of the bench :bwahaha:

[flakez]

Di pinapalaro si Wang Zhi Zhi kasi nag AWOL siya sa mga commitments niya sa Chinese National Team.

ayun tama, hindi niya tinupad ung mga commitments niya sa national team kaya bawal siya maglaro.

last time I checked he's with the Miami Heat warming his butt at the end of the bench :bwahaha:

:bwahaha:

[edzzz]

ang laki nang line up natin but lacks shooters, sana dagdag nila si James "kris" Yap.
