    SMC-RP 5 sizzles in debut, thwarts US

    Tuesday, July 3, 2007
    TAIWAN – Jimmy Alapag dished out a near-flawless game while Mark Caguioa came through with clutch shots as San Miguel-Philippines stunned defending champion Athletes in Action of the US, 72-67, at the start of the Jones Cup international basketball tournament at the Sinjhuang Stadium in Taipei County here last night.

    Trailing by five, 52-57, going into the last 5:14 of the contest, Team Pilipinas called on the spitfirish Alapag and Mick Pennisi, who sparked an initial 8-0 run with back-to-back triples, before Kerby Raymundo scored on a twisting lay-up to shove the Filipinos ahead, 60-57.

    After Reed Rawling countered for the Americans, Alapag rifled in his third triple of the match and then Caguioa finally got going by scoring the last nine points, including a slashing drive before knocking down a shot-clocking beating jumper from way out to seal the victory for the RP team.

    “Jimmy bailed us out big-time and Mark finished the job for us,” said national team coach Vinent “Chot” Reyes.

    Alapag finished with a game-high 19 points.

    It was indeed a big comeback for SMC-Pilipinas, which led majority of the first half but sputtered in the third where it was held to just six points as the US team seized control.

    But the gutsy Filipinos came up with clutch hits and kept the game close before Alapag and Caguioa conspired in a big RP team windup for the victory.

    The win should send shock waves not only to the Americans but also to the rest of the nine-team field seeing action in the 10-day event. It also augurs well for the Filipinos’ campaign in the event serving as the first of their last two tournaments before the Olympic qualifying in Tokushima, Japan later this month.

    It also gives SMC-Pilipinas the momentum when it plays Lebano today at the resumption of action in the nine-day tournament featuring the teams the Philippines would be playing in the Tokushima qualifier.

    SMC- Pilipinas put together a 12-0 run ending the second quarter to build a 39-31 lead at the turn.

    But the Filipinos were held to only six points on three free throws and a three-point shot by Dondon Hontiveros in the third period as the Ameicans started to dominate and seize the upperhand, 46-45.

    In the other opening day matches, Korea nipped Qatar, 70-69; Jordan won over Kazakhstan, 63-61; and Lebanon beat Iran, 80-71.

    Lebanon and San Miguel-Pilipinas mix it up at 5:30 p.m. with the Nationals seeking a second straight win and tournament leadership.

    They won against the US team kanina in the Jones Cup. Congratulations! I know that they can do it. Sana huwag lang sila ma-burn out. Sunod-sunod ang sinalihan nilang liga. Sa Jones Cup daily ang laro.

    I don't know, di ko feel yang Philippine Team na yan na mostly composed of Fil-Ams.

    For me the last "true" Philippine Basketball Team was the one that Jawo coached and placed third(?) sa ABC Tourney or was it an Asian games, can't remember.

    how would the RP qualify for the Olympics? other than the obvious route of winning the Asian Games (which means they have to kick China's ass)?

    Doesn't matter if their Fil-Ams or not. What matters most if they're doing it with all their heart. No amount of talent, height and skills will save us if they're doing it because they were asked to do it. For example, recent US team losses in the international tourneys.

    Jaworski and the Philipppine team placed 2nd behind China in the 1990 ABC. No Fil-Ams back then. Only athletes willing to die for the country, hence the 2nd place. Patrimonio was hell of a team player then, and so is Benjie Paras and Allan Caidic.

    I wish them luck and my support. Go Philippines!

    di ba ang target nila is to win the FIBA Asia? I think the top 2 teams in the FIBA Asia will already qualify them for the olympics. As for beating China, they would have to do what South Korea did to the Yao Ming powered China Team before. Beat the hell out of China using 3 pt bombs. Wala yatang trueblue gunner sa RP team in the mold of Allan Caidic or Almario or even the Filipinized "Fil-Am" Chip Engeland -- yung mga ka age bracked ko would know who these guys are hehehe yung tipong kahit yata jump-hook-shot from the 3pt arc, kaya papasukin. They'd also need speed and some muscle to out box the taller and heftier Chinese team. I think China's ass is "kickable" if you have the right guys. Ano nga pala nangyari kay Danny Seigle? why was he not able to join the RP team sa Jones Cup?

    afaik, china is already seeded since sa kanila gagawin ang olympics.
    what they need to do is to finish sa top 3, including china.... so that means they have to face the asian basketball bigwigs like south korea, the middle eastern countries and some of the ex-russian states (i just forgot the name of those countries...)

    Kung pinalaro nila si Jawo (as playing coach) nung 1990 Asian games na yun, baka nag champion pa tayo. Hinaluan ng politika kasi kaya coach na lang ginawa sa kanya, muntik pa nga na si Norman Black gawing coach, dami kasi galit ke Jawo na PBA board members that time. Sya nga mismo nagsabi, "kung andyan ako sa loob, di makaka foul-counted yang mga instsik na yan", ang soft kasi nung mga fouls natin sa finals. I remeber that game, panalo pa tayo sa 2nd half nun!
