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.

[artpogi]

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.

[empy]

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)?

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?

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!

yeah, i remember they only lost by 9 or 10 points, right? we only lacked big men then.

hope this new team is better.

07 Basketball - Jones Cup - Men

Game 1 VS Philippines

TAIPEI, Taiwan --- Only having practiced together seven times in the span of a week, Athletes in Action (AIA) made its debut at the 2007 William R. Jones Cup Monday night with a five-point loss to the Philippine National Team (PBA), 72-67.

“Right now we’re just learning how to play together,” said head coach Mike Jarvis. “We played against a very good team and had a chance to win. When the game came down to the final five minutes, they finished and made the plays. I feel good though. We played really hard. I’d like to see us play a little better, but I’m not disappointed in the way played.

“We’re just going to take one game at a time and try to be the best we can be. When we ran our offense and took our time we were very efficient. I thought we did a great job of coming back and taking the lead after being down eight.”

The Jones Cup is a round robin tournament with all 10 teams playing nine games in nine days. Other competing countries include: Chinese Taipei, Japan, Korea, Qatar, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon and Kazakhstan. AIA, representing the United States, and Japan are the lone two non-senior National Teams competing in the tournament as preparation for next month's Olympic qualifying tournament in Thailand.

Wanting to establish itself quickly, AIA (0-1) claimed the early momentum as four different players scored the team’s first four baskets to take a five-point lead less than three minutes into the contest. The Philippine team (1-0) responded with a 10-0 spurt over the next 1:33. AIA then answered with a 10-0 run of its own, including four points from Zack Gibson (Grand Blanc, Mich./Michigan) and claimed a two-point lead at the end of the first quarter, 25-23.

The Philippine team used its experience to limit the U.S. to just six second quarter points and outscored it by nine to claim a 38-31 halftime lead.

Conversely, AIA turned up its defensive pressure in the third quarter, limiting its opponent to just six points, while more than doubling its second quarter output.

Todd Hendley (Sanford, N.C./UNC Wilmington) opened the period with a basket in the paint before Darris Nichols (Radford, Va./West Virginia) and Tyler Wilkerson (Lexington, Ky./Marshall) made back-to-back 3s to tie the score at 40. Alex Ruoff (Spring Hill, Fla./West Virginia) then put AIA ahead with a jumper just inside the arc.

Hendley was one of three AIA players to score double figures, finishing with a team-high 11 points. Wilkerson added 10 points as did Gibson.

Another Ruoff basket and a pair of free throws by Gibson gave AIA a four-point lead, its largest since 30 seconds into the second quarter, with 1:43 left in the period before Donaldo Hontiveros’ 3-pointer closed the gap to one as the quarter expired.

As the fourth quarter began so did Tim Pollitz (Ottawa, Ohio/Miami University), scoring six of AIA’s first eight fourth quarter points and helping build a five-point advantage with just over five minutes remaining, 57-52.

In the game’s final five minutes the Philippine National Team displayed its veteran savvy and cohesiveness as its outscored AIA 20-10, making three of its nine 3-pointers on the night.

PBA shot 43 percent from behind the arc (9-for-21), while AIA struggled from the international distance making just 5-of-26 (19 percent).

AIA dominated the glass, out-rebounding PBA by 27, 58-31. Brian Asbury (Miami, Fla./Miami) and Gibson had eight each, while Hendley, Pollitz and Wilkerson grabbed six boards apiece.

Jimmy Alapag scored a game-high 19 points for PBA, who had three other players reach double figures.

AIA, which won the 2006 Jones Cup, returns to action Tuesday, July 3, against Kazakhstan.

actually, from what i understand, only the top 2 teams in next month's fiba asia tournament will qualify for the beijing olympics. but since china, being the host, has already a slot in the games, basketball pundits are speculating that the chinese will only send their team b. thus, giving asian teams like ours a big-to-good chance of crashing in on the olympic bash

btw, ritualo, menk, and j. yap suited up but were not sent in yesterday. again, pundits say it may be a ploy by coach chot to hide our assets from prying eyes of opposing coaches and scouts.

danny seigle and art dela cruz stayed home to enable them to recuperate from their injuries w/c they incurred in their rugged serbian friendship games last month

Hall of Famers of the RP Team

Johnny Abarrientos - Philippine basketball's and Asia's best point guard of the 1990s. Abarrientos played for the Philippines in the 1991 Southeast Asian Games and the Asian Games. He was later selected to play for the Philippine Centennial Team to represent the country in the 1998 Asian Games and the 21st William Jones Cup. Abarrientos was named Most Valuable Player in an exhibition game against the FIBA Asia All-Star team led by compatriot Romel Adducul.

Allan Caidic - Asia's most feared three-point shooter and arguably one of the greatest players ever to play for the Philippines internationally. He is a four-time veteran of the Asian Games (1986, 1990, 1994, 1998) and a two-time William Jones Cup champion (1985, 1998). Early in his career, Caidic played a major role for the Philippines in capturing the 1985 Southeast Asian Games and the 1985-1986 FIBA Asia Championship. In 1994, he was the Asian Games basketball tournament's leading scorer and was named to the all-tournament Mythical Five selection. In 1998, he represented the country for the final time with the celebrated Philippine Centennial Team.

Robert Jaworski - The world's oldest professional basketball player and arguably the Philippines's most popular basketball player of all time. He represented the country in numerous international tournaments and is one of the last surviving Filipino basketball players to play in the FIBA World Championship and the Summer Olympics.

Samboy Lim - One of the best players ever to play for the Philippine national team. A prolific scorer, he represented the Philippines in the 1982 Asian Youth Championship and in the 1985-1986 FIBA Asia Championship. He was later named into the 1990 Asian Games Mythical Five selection.

Carlos Loyzaga - Probably the greatest Filipino international basketball player of all time. He led the Philippines to four consecutive Asian Games gold medals and three Asian championship titles. His biggest achievement was leading the country to a third place finish and the bronze medal in the 1954 FIBA World Championship, the best finish by an Asian country in the history of the quadrennial tournament. He was later named into the all-tournament Mythical Five selection after finishing third leading scorer of that year's tournament.

Ambrosio Padilla - One of the greatest Filipino basketball players of the pre-World War II era. He played for the Philippines in the Far Eastern Games before leading the country to a fifth place finish in the 1936 Olympic Games, the best finish by an Asian country in the history of the Summer Olympics men's basketball tournament.

Luis "Lou" Salvador - One of the most prolific offensive players in Philippine basketball history. Salvador played for the Philippines in several Far Eastern Games tournaments where, in 1923, he set an all-time record for the most points scored by a Filipino in a single international game with 116 points against China to lead the Philippines to the gold medal. That record remains unbroken to this day.

A bit of history

The Philippine Centennial Team was the nickname of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA)-backed national basketball team in 1998. The team consists of professional players in the country that includes national team veterans Allan Caidic and Alvin Patrimonio, both sharing the distinction of being the only PBA players to represent the country in four Asian Games basketball tournaments since 1986.

The national dream team participated in the Philippine Basketball Association Centennial Cup (where they placed last, where other team had two non-Filipinos in their lineups) and later played exhibition games against the China national basketball team and the PBA All-Star (non-national team members) Selection. The Nationals went on to win the 21st William Jones Cup International Basketball Tournament in Taiwan and then on a tough Midwest tour of the United States.

The national team’s main goal was to win the 1998 Asian Games basketball tournament and to reclaim Philippine basketball supremacy in Asia. The team started the tournament by winning four games in a row and finished with a 5-2 record losing to China and Korea, but they were able to capture the Bronze medal in the play-offs.

Overall, the National Basketball of 1998 achievements includes the William Jones Cup and the Asian Games bronze medal. This team historically the third PBA-backed national team that followed the 1994 national team (finished fourth) and the 1990 national team (finished second – Silver Medal), and preceded the 2002 national team that finished fourth in the Asian Games.

The national basketball team of the Philippines is one of the best-performing Asian teams in international tournaments, winning a bronze medal in the 1954 FIBA World Championship for men and a fifth-place finish in the 1936 Summer Olympics, the two best finishes of any Asian team in the history of the top two international basketball tournaments. Its national basketball federation is the BAP-Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (BAP-SBP).

The current national team, nicknamed "Team Pilipinas" (Team Philippines), is sponsored by the San Miguel Corporation, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company, the Philippine Basketball Association, and the Philippine Basketball League. The coach of the team is Vincent "Chot" Reyes.

Aside from the bronze medal at the World Championships and the fifth-place Olympic finish, the Philippines has won five FIBA Asian Championships for Men, four Asian Games Men's Basketball gold medals and a consistent winner at the Southeast Asian Games and at the Southeast Asia Basketball Association. The country has also participated in four FIBA World Championships and seven Olympic Basketball Tournaments.

In the 1950s-1960s, the Philippines was among the best in the world, producing world-class players like Carlos Loyzaga, Mariano Tolentino and Edgardo Ocampo. Loyzaga was even a part of the 1954 FIBA World Championship Mythical Team selection, where the Philippines won the Bronze medal.

The country lost its Asian basketball supremacy, when Asia's first and the world's second professional basketball league, the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), was founded on April 1975. Slowly, the country lost its best players to the league with FIBA restrictions of professional players in the national teams.

After 1975, the Philippines only managed to win the 1986 Asian Basketball Confederation (the national team qualified to the 1986 FIBA World Championship in Spain but the team disbanded and failed to participate due to the political crisis in the Philippines) and a bronze medal in the 1986 Asian Games. Both teams were bannered by future PBA stars Allan Caidic, Samboy Lim and Hector Calma. In 1990, the Philippines sent and all-pro national team, coached by Robert Jaworski, to regain the country's basketball supremacy in the Asian Games but the team lost in the final against China and settled for a silver medal. The team includes 1990 PBA Most Valuable Player Allan Caidic, Alvin Patrimonio and Samboy Lim (who was selected for the Asian Games Mythical Team selection).

In 1998, the PBA formed the celebrated Philippine Centennial Team that captured the 21st William Jones Cup championship but finished with the bronze medal in the Asian Games. While in 1994 and 2002, the PBA-backed national team only managed fourth placed finishes.

Wowwww!.......Mr. Joseph Abri, salamat sa Philippine Basketball "trivia" na nai-share mo rito sa Tsikot. Maraming di nakakaalam dito yang mga info na binanggit mo.

kami sa iyo.
