Update regarding the 1st exhibition game of smart gilas team

In tagalog para mas ma express ko ang update ko

Nagsimula ang laro sa pagpapakilala sa smart gilas na buong lakas na palakpak at sigaw ang isinalubong ng mga kababayan natin sa kani kanilang paboritong player.

Pinakamalakas ang mga palakpak ng ipakilala sina Chris Tiu at si Paul Asi Taulava iba talaga ang karisma ni Taulava sa mga pinoy kahit may edad na, si chris tiu naman ang kanyang pogi points ang tinitilian ng mga kababaihan.

Sa unang 2 quarter hindi nagkakalayo ang score ng 2 team natapos ang 1st half na 1 lang ang lamang ng smart gilas.

Pumasok ang 3rd quarter na mainit na nagsimula ang laban at mejo nag bigay na ng totoong laban ang smart gilas dinagdagan na nila ng konting physical ang laro, nagkainitan ng supalpalin ni aldrech ramos ang tira ng kalaban na tumama pa at nabaon sa mukha ng kalaban na natumba, sugod si chris tiu para agawin ang bola pero naginit ang kalaban at hinaras si chris tiu na hindi naman nagpatalo, sugod ang buong team ng smart gilas para saklolohan si chris sa pang haharass ng mga kalabang bahrainis.

Tuloy ang laban at hanggang sa umabot na lang sa ilang segundo bola ng kalaban at tinira ng import ng kalaban ang bola na nakadepensa si asi taulava na tinamaan ng sadyang siko ng import ng kalaban na tinawagan naman ng offensive foul sabay tunog ng buzzer. Free shot para kay asi pareho niyang naipasok ang bola.

At yun ang hudyat ng pag walked out ng muharraq ang kalabang koponan ng smart gilas, dismayado ang lahat ng mga kababayan natim sa ginawang pag walked out ng kalaban na hindi matanggap na hindi nila matatalo ang smart gilas sa klase ng kanilang laro. Pilit kasing gustong manalo ng kalaban at kahit walo pa ang kalaban ng smart gilas sa loob dahil ang 3 referi ay pawang mga locals dito kahit malalamyang foul ay tinatawag para lang mabigyang bentahe ang koponan ng muharraq.

natapos ang laban sa score na SGP 77 - Muharraq 69

Pagkatapos mag walked out ng kalaban pumunta sa gitna ng court ang buong smart gilas at isang malakas na palakpakan ang iginawad ng ating mga kababayan.

Ang tanong ngayun ay para sa laro bukas laban sa al ahli club kung matutuloy ba o hindi

Aking ibabalita dito ang magiging update ng laro para bukas.

Maraming salamat! Mabuhay Pilipinas Mabuhay ang lahat ng Filipino sa ibat ibang panig ng mundo.

eto ang mga ilang highlight ng game

Smart Gilas stun Muharraq

The Philippines National Men's basketball team 'Smart Gilas' defeated Bahrain Cup holders Muharraq 77-69 in a match held last night at the Zain Arena in Umm Al Hassam.
The visiting team – coached by Rajko Toroman from Serbia – started with Andy Barroca, Aldrech Ramos, Marcio Lassiter, Chris Tiu and Marcus Douthit who stands over two metres tall.
A packed arena saw Barroca score the opening point with a free shot and the Filipinos took early control and a 23-22 lead at the end of the first quarter.
Muharraq coached by Rikco started the match with captain Ahmed Al Doy, Ali Abbas, Isa Ebrahim, Jassim Mohammed and American Lamood Murray.
Muharraq managed to level in the second quarter 40-40 and Jassim Mohammed used a three-pointer to put his team ahead 50-46.
In a highly entertaining match, the two teams went in level at 55 all. It stayed pretty much this way in the third quarter before the visitors went 74-68 ahead and soon won the quarter which was marred by some rough play which infuriated both coaches and players, leading to the fourth quarter not being played.
Top scoring for the Philippine team was J.V. Casio (15), Marcus Douthit (11) and Asi 'The Rock Tualava (10) who all scored one three-pointer.
For Muharraq, Lamood Murray (17) was the top scorer. He managed four three-pointers while Jassim Mohammed (16) bagaged four-three pointers. "This has been a useful exercise and a good foundation to prepare for the qualification for the London Olympics in 2012," said Philippines team manager Butch Antonio.
In an earlier match, DHL Filipino Club Basketball Group defeated Saudi Filipino Selection side 75-62.
The Smart Gilas team arrived here on Sunday and were received at the new Philippine Embassy in Zinj by consul-general Sahid Glang.
Today they take on back-to-back league champions Al Ahli which has Bahrain’s best basketball talents, including national team players Hussain Shaker, Maytham Jameel, Sayed Hashim and Mohammed Qurban. They also have American professional Jamal Holden in its ranks.
The event is being held under the auspices of Bahrain Basketball association president and MP Adel Al Assoumi.
Emil Durano, FCBG chairman and Dong Silastre, head of FCBG Smart Gilas said: “We are very happy to bring them here and the proceed of this event will be put into good use, as FCBG will allocate funds for charity that may help distressed Filipino workers to return to our country. Currently we have around 80 individuals sheltered at the Philippine Embassy”.
Sponsors of the event are Banagas, MoneyGram, Cathay Pacific, Nonoo Exchange, Sharam Sports, Pars International Hotel, Union Press, Chilies and Sports Avenue.
FCBG Media partners are “The Orbit Showtime GMA Pinoy TV”, ABS CBN, Abante Middle East Edition, Gulf Daily News, Daily Tribune, Bahrain Confidential, Bahrain This Month and 96.5 Radio Bahrain.

Eto napo ang update sa final exhibition game ng Smart Gilas Philippine Basketball Team dito sa Bahrain.



Nagsimula ang smart gilas kina Andy Barroca, Aldrech Ramos, Marcio Lssiter, Chris Tiu at Asi "the Rock" Taulava at malakas na sinalubong ng malakas na palakpakan ng ating mga kababayan.

Sa 1st quarter ng laban ay halos palitan lang ng mga puntos ang 2 team bago magtapos ang 1st ay lamang muna ng 1 (18-17) ang kalaban pero hindi nagpatalo ang smart gilas at tinapos ang 1st quarter ng isang 3 points shot.

kahit napo malakas ang ulan at panay baha ang mga dinaanan mga kalsada ng ating mga kababayan dahil wala pang magandang drainage system dito sa Bahrain ay hindi ito naging hadlang sa libong mga kababayan natin na suportahang panoorin ang laban ng ating pambansang koponan na kahit pa anong sabihin ng mga kritiko ng smart gilas ay kailangan nating suportahan ang pambansang koponan natin na lumalaban sa mga international competition matalo't manalo PILIPINAS parin ang dala nilang pangalan na kailangan nating ipagmalaki.

sa sumonod na quarter ay nagpaulan ng ilang 3 pointers si JV Casio at sobrang ingay ng ating mga kababayan sa pag cheer sa ating pambansang koponan, tinapos ng smart gilas ang 2nd quarter sa score na 49-41.

nagpahinga ng sampung minuto bago magsimula ang 3rd quarter sa pagsisimula ng 3rd quarter ay dinagdagan ng al ahli ang intensidad ng kanilang laro at makalipas ang 7 minuto ay nakita na lang namin na angat na sa 2 puntos ang mga kalaban, time out agad si coach Rajko, at pagkatapos ng time out na yun parang growling tigers, (dylan ababou) at mga tamarraw na nagising sina Mac Barracael at Andy Barroca at lamang muli ang smart gilas sa score na 70-62 sa pagtatapos ng 3rd quarter.

at sa pagbukas ng 4th quarter ay mas lumobo pa ang lamang ng smart gilas sa 15 puntos at dito na unti unting nanghina ang mga kalaban sa mga at hindi na nila kinaya ang inilatag na depensa at opensa ng ating pambansang koponan na tinapos ang laban sa score na 92-80.

masayang masaya ang lahat kasama na ang kalabang koponan at masasabi kong sports ang koponan nakalaban ng smart gilas sa ikalawang pagkakataon dahil tinapos nila ang laban at tinanggap nila ang malalakas ng kantiyaw ng ating mga kababayan, pero pagkatapos ng malakas na kantiyaw ay pinalitan din ng isang malakas at solidong palakpakan ang iginawag ng ating mga kababayan sa al ahli club ang kalabang koponan ng smart gilas.

pagkatapos ng laro ay pinayagan na makapunta ang lahat ng ating mga kababayan sa gitna ng court, picture picture sa mga paboritong players, 2 ang naghagis ng mga uniporme nila sa mga kababayan natin isa si Asi Taulava at at ang isa pa ay si Marcio Lassiter lahat halos ng mga player ng smart gilas ay merong nakapaligid na di bababa sa 50 katao authograph dito picture duon, hindi magkamayaw ang ating mga kababayan na napawi panandalian ang lungkot at mga depression gawa ng pagkakalayo sa mga pamilya dahil kailangang kumayod sa bansang ito para ipambuhay sa kani kanilang pamilya.

sandali kong nakausap ang team manager ng smart gilas na si butch antonio siya ay sobrang nagpapasalamat sa ating mga kababayan na nagpunta ng gabing iyon na kahit anong lakas ng ulan at baha sa mga kalsada ay akala mo nasa pilipinas ka sa mga sandaling iyun dahil 95% ng mga tao sa loob ng gymnasium ay Pilipino.

at sa pagtatapos nito ang smart gilas team ay paalis dito sa Bahrain ng 4pm papuntang UAE Dubai para sa kanilang 10 Team UAE invitational at naway maiuwi nila ang kampeonato sa torneong ito.

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas, Mabuhay Smart Gilas, Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino sa ibat ibang panig ng mundo.

Pagkakaisa ang kailangan para sa isang mithiin.

Salamat sa Diyos.

latest info regarding the development of smart gilas

Two high school stars tapped to play in PBA

If smart gilas allowed to play in the coming PBA conference, they will include those 2 young players in their line up.

I don't know both of them but I already heard Kiefer Ravena was playing very well in his ateneo blue eaglets during his high school days.

I consider Ravena as a good addition (not an impact), He still young, athletic he can play either a PG or SG which a good addition in the rotation of smart gilas point guards so far we have only 2 legitimate PG (Barroca and Casio) these 2 are doing very well even their opponent are taller than them, they can run, penetrate and create spaces.

as a playing coach in my team here in Bahrain and as I watched their exhibition game here in Bahrain and their ongoing games in UAE International Tournament, our national team are lack of legitimate shooters so far we have only Chris Tiu, we are also lack of BIG mens, if Japeth Aguilar (if the rumor is true that he is already out or cut in the list) it will be a big problem for our smart gilas national team.

the smart gilas needs more of legitimate shooters (mala allan caidic ba o james yap na kahit may bantay kayang tumira ng tres) and more big mens (na mga Danny Ildefonso nung younger years pa niya or Enrico Villanueva na palaban kahit sino katapat)

also a good addition is gabe norwood, a big guard lalo pat kalaban ay mga malalaking point guard din.

you? who will be your personal choice to be added in the list?

 

antoni waiting din ako na mainvite ulit si gabe norwood sa smart gilas

Docjbr, nice suggestion yan ah, we need at 3 and 4 post na atlis ang height ay mga 6'5" and above kasi dito talaga kinakain ng husto ng mga kalaban ang smart gilas, at 6'3" Mac Baracael is undersized talaga, atlis kahit papano si Aldrech Ramos nakakapanlaban pero pag nilabas at pinalitan na siya kinakapos talaga ang height.



F 7 PHI Ababou, Dylan 6 ft 4
