The Powerade Team Pilipinas is now looking for the “real test” in the Jones Cup next month before taking the “real thing” in the Fiba Asia championship in Tianjin, China in August. After Securing the SEABA crown last Tuesday in Indonesia.
All 10 Filipino players scored at least seven points each in a well-balanced and torrid offense which the Indonesians just couldn’t match.
A member of the Indonesian coaching staff in the 2007 Tokushima Fiba Asia Olympic qualifier, Hadinoto noticed the RP squad employing a different system now.
“The system is different from before. They’re pressing and running more. I think they can perform better this time using the system done by other teams in the Fiba Asia,” said Hadinoto.
For the record, the Nationals won twice by an average margin of 34.5 points over the Indonesians who will be the other Southeast Asian team competing in the Asian joust in Tianjin, China in August.
In the rematch, Indonesia managed to make it close in the first 17 minutes with a determined stand while egged on by the flag-waving and cheering home crowd at the Angkasapura Lanud Basketball Hall.
The hosts were down by only three at 32-35 before the Filipinos finally hit their stride and stepped on the gas, zooming to a 31-point lead, 74-43, towards the end of the third period.
The combination of Jarred Dillinger, Cyrus Baguio, Gabe Norwood, Mick Pennisi and Asi Taulava worked for that breakaway before Ranidel de Ocampo, James Yap, Willie Miller, Arwind Santos and Mick Pennisi took over to give the Nationals their biggest spread at 91-54.
As the Nationals relaxed a bit, the Indonesians took advantage, coming through with a run that again sent the home crowd to a frenzy.
The highly appreciative crowd even cheered Dillinger as the versatile Fil-Am crowd banged in a two-handed jam off an alley-oop by Norwood to close out the scoring.
As in their first three games, the Nationals struggled in three-point shooting, converting only four of 19 attempts.
“Our three-point shooting was way below our expectations. We have good shooters but for one reason or another, we’re not shooting well from the three-point area,” said Guiao.
