TENORIO-CAGUIOA IS GINEBRA’S NEW FAST AND FURIOUS

 

IS Ginebra’s acknowledged leader Mark Caguioa about to have a new “Fast and Furious” partner under new coach Tim Cone? During a recent interview with Radyo Singko’s “Aksyon Sports” last Sunday, Cone named his potential starters of the team and chose Caguioa as part of his starting unit.

For the longest time, Caguioa and fellow guard Jayjay Helterbrand have manned the backcourt with aplomb and eventually earned the popular moniker.

Helterbrand, though, was slowed down by injuries the past few seasons and while he was able to fully recover from it of late, playing time later became an issue for him and Ginebra’s past coaches.

“It would be hard to say at this point, but off the top of my head, the obvious ones would be LA (Tenorio) and (Chris) Ellis as the guards. Mark and Japeth (Aguilar) at the wings and (Greg) Slaughter at center,” revealed Cone.

While Cone made hints about correcting the team’s imbalances specifically in their guard line-up, he might still consider the one-time Most Valuable Player awardee as one of his dependable off-the-bench players.

For one, former Ginebra coach and now Alaska Aces assistant Jeffrey Caraiso believes Helterbrand, despite not being as quick as before, can still be a factor in Cone’s complex system.

“For sure he can still shoot, without a doubt. So I think in regard to just offense, as long as he buys in, I think he’ll be okay,” said Cariaso. “If Jayjay can buy into what we’re doing to the triangle and really trust the offense, he will be able to impart his game to that offense.”

Cariaso, a former player and coaching protégé of Cone, called the shots for Ginebra for two conferences where he tried to instill the triangle system.

To be 100% honest with you, I had mixed signals whether they really bought into the triangle when I was there,” said Cariaso. “You have to give it a chance. You’re used to a certain way, but with the triangle you need patience, you need discipline. You need to be able to read and react.”

Cone, meanwhile, believes the current Ginebra roster will appreciate the triangle only if each one of them will buy into what he would impart, specifically on defense.

“We will be infusing things outside of the triangle to make the transition easy. It’s often times about the right players in the right positions. I think they’ll enjoy it,” said Cone “The biggest key for me though is, are they going to come in everyday and play defense? If they want to win championships they have to do that too.” – Dennis Principe, Manila Standard Today

The birth of "Never-Say-Die"
On October 22, 1985, in a game against Northern Cement (NCC) , Jaworski was hit by an elbow from Jeff Moore late in the second quarter. Jaworski had to be brought to nearby Medical City’s emergency room to get stitches on his lips. During the third quarter, NCC was leading when Jaworski returned to the bench. The biggest manifestation was when, Jaworski came back from the nearby Medical City with seven stitches in his lip to lead the Gins to a come-from-behind victory against NCC. Jaworski incurred this from a wayward elbow inflicted by Jeff Moore in the second quarter. But with them behind by 15 points going into
the final seven minutes of the game, Jaworski re-entered the court and sparked a frenzy that to date, has yet been matched. The NCC team simply froze upon the sight of the Big J and didn't know what hit them, eventually losing to the Gins.

Michael Hackett also saw his name in the PBA record books by scoring 103 points in Ginebra's 197–168 victory against Great Taste on November 21, 1985. This was later broken by Swift's Tony Harris in a 1992 game against Ginebra. Former Crispa import Billy Ray Bates was brought in for the 1986 Open Conference. Each PBA team was allowed to get two imports for the said conference. Bates' other partner was Michael Hackett, who was the 1985 Open Conference Best Import . It is believed that the pair was the greatest import tandem in PBA history. The two lead Ginebra in the Finals of the tournament against Manila Beer (formerly Beer Hausen), with Abet Guidaben and imports Michael Young and Harold Keeling.
Bates and Hackett powered Ginebra to a 4–1 win in the series to win the 1986 PBA Open Conference and give the team its first-ever championship. Unfortunately, Francis Arnaiz suddenly left for the United States before Ginebra won its first championship, ending his 11-year career and tandem with Jaworski.

hopefully cone's stint will be for the best... ginebra became endeared because of its run and gun style... exciting and fun... hindi boring.... hard nose d and hindi umuurong sa gulo...

 

with the triangle, di ko sure among excitement meron to ... for me, the system is over-rated... ang tingin, ko it relies heavily sa talent... jordan -pippen- rodman-kukoc, shaw-kobe-rice... hung hawala temporary si mj sa chicago, hindi umusad si phil at ang triangle....hindi rin umusad to nung nag man-zone ang detroit....

 

anyway, its the direction that the team wants to go, so be it... sans lang tumigil na yungmga spin doctors sa kung ano among write up nila... Tim will have a different legacy from Jawo that is for sure...

 

sana ma maximize ang talent ng team....

malas naman, sa kanila pa naman ni Greg naka focus ang mga play na ise set up ni Tim Cone pagdating sa Triangle Offense.

 

hindi na din siya makakasama sa Gilas Pilipinas line up, together with Fajardo, Pingris, Lassiter, and Tenorio. Dpat si greg hindi na din mag join ng Gilas dahil may injury pa din sya.

 

Sad to say, Greg is not qualified for FIBA. Here's why...............http://rivals.ph/basketball/gilas-pilipinas-basketball/2015/07/18/38140/gilas-pilipinas-2015-whos-eligible-whos-not/

Is it just me or smc players are pulling out of gilas? Naisip ko lang as pingris, la, junemar, marcio and japeth have strong indications that they will not play... just imagine alaska, ros and the mvp teams lending their stars... pag wala ang mga stars na to sa pba teams nila and considering sila ang mga perrenial contenders, parang mag pi fiesta ang smb teams....

And will buy ginebra time to learn tim's system
