The Team Pilipinas were expected to win this game, but the Saudi Arabia gave a good fight with their star player (also a player of the manager)
Turk Bin Sulaiman after recording 58 points. The first time that PH-cezzz fought against his own player. The Arabs used the Patient offense with their top scorer on PF which created a mismatch.
"Yeah, I got the taste of my own medicine. That was the offense i used during the past season and it was effective. I never thought it will be effective on this level of competition." PH-cezzz said.
After the controversial "Water Boy" treatment. Young star
Eugene Putong made a sensational-game-wrapping-5-second-jog that sealed the win and with his 1st feel on the NT court, it was a great achievement for him.
"Yes, i know I'm too young. My kababayan players bullied me but you know what? With my age of 23, I still managed to play 1 NT game! Boo yah!" - he said.
Pitoy suspended?The fans noticed that Pitoy was absent during the game. They prepared boo signs exclusively for him after he famously made Eugene Putong as his Personal Assistant.
"Let me make this clear. He had to attend a wedding, that's why he didn't come. So please media, don't fabricate any stories ok?" NT PR manager said. He also added,
"I assure you that there is no corruption in our team. You know, the COA in Philippines is very strict. They won't even give us travel allowance anymore! So I'm calling all private sectors there to please support our team. Anyone who accuses us again, we will meet on court." Last edited by PH-cezzz at 4/21/2014 10:07:01 AM
