KINGS REIN IN BOLTS

 

Published on February 18, 2011

 

LAOAG City –Nate Brumfield may not be as flashy as other imports could turn out, but he sure canget the job done for Barangay Ginebra.Drawing inspiration from their workhorse of an import, the Kings gave the Meralco Bolts a 115-98beating Friday at the start of the PBA Commissioner’s Cup at the jampacked Ilocos Norte CentennialArena here.Brumfield finished with a near triple-double while Mark Caguioa, Willie Miller and Ronald Tubidalso turned in double-figure efforts as Ginebra managed to notch a riproaring start in themed-seasontourney that only has nine elimination games.“”It’s good na nakauna, this being a very short (elimination) round,” noted winning coachJong Uichico after the Phoenix Fuel-sponsored game watched by a crowd led by no less than Governor Imee Marcos and City MayorMichael Farinas.“Mabuti rin na ang localsgot adjusted relatively quickly to Nate’s style of play,” Uichicoadded. “Of course, we have yet to see the other imports and he may not be as explosive or asflashy as the others, but he makes the team better.”Brumfield attested to that with a gamehigh 32 points anchored on 10-of-18 field shooting,11rebounds and eight assists. Caguioa ably backstopped with 20 points while Miller and Tubid combined for 31. Rudy Hatfield onlyhad six points but grabbed a gamehigh 16 rebounds before fouling out in the final 2:49.Tony Dandridge paced Meralco with 30 points and also hauled down nine rebounds, while Asi Taulavanotched his first double-double for the conference with 23 and 10. But the likes of Mark Cardona andSol Mercado struggled bigtime from the field.Cardona was limited to just six points on 3-of-14 field shooting while Mercado had 19 points offthe bench, but he shot just 7-of-20 in his first game out of a Rain or Shine uniform.The likes of Marlou Aquino and Reynel Hugnatan did not see action for Meralco, which was alreadywithout the injured Nelbert Omolon.Even had they shown up, it is doubtful they could have made that much of a difference since theentire Ginebra team was simply too much to handle on this particular night, resulting in a difference of as much as 72-48in the third period.So in control were the Kings they hardly missed the services of the injured Jayjay Helterbrand,aside from Billy Mamari and Yancy de Ocampo, who Uichico did not utilize.Ginebra also started out each quarter strong, sealing the trend in the fourth with a 12-2 run thatgave them a 99-76 bulge after barely getting out of the third with an 87-74 advantage.Brumfield already had 21 points after the first two quarters, helping Ginebra take an imposing59-42 halftime lead.The former Oklahoma Baptist star missed only two of seven shots from the field, went a perfect11-of-11 from the stripe and got able support from the 13 points by Caguioa and nine from Miller.Rudy Hatfield also chipped in seven rebounds.Cardona’s scraping for form saw him not buying a basket until the last 57 seconds of the halfwhile Dandridge scratched for only six points.All those combined to prop Ginebra to charge into 17-point leads of 52-35 and 53-36.Brumfield sparked Ginebra’s breakaway from a 34-30 count with nine straight points while Millerand Caguioa each spiked the 19-6 tear with a triple.The scores:Ginebra 115 - Brumfield 32, Caguioa 20, Miller 16, Tubid 15, Menk 8, Hatfield 6, W. Wilson 6, Intal3, J. Wilson 3, Cortez 2, Aquino 2, Villanueva 2.Meraldo 98 - Dandridge 30, Taulava 23, Mercado

Given na yung 3 point shot ni LA.... pero mas maganda sana if di rin nag SAG sa Defense si Raging Bull. para mas di nawala yung option ng Switch.. masyado na malayo after nung screen ni Big Boss e....

 

then nung last Play ng Gins... with 3. something seconds... since hindi quick release ang type of shot ni Kuya Miller .. mas gustuhin ko yung tipong Inbond then return pass sa inbounder saka shoot....just like yung ginawa ni The Furious dati....

 

Kung me Edit then rewind lang naman..ahehehehe...

 

Nice Game pa din naman ng import... me Defense and nag iisip sa Game...

magaling din lang si LA...
