The Beermen reserves crushed the mismanaged Pines City Evicerators as they dueled head to head at the Red Horse Arena to give the Red Horse Beermen their 5th consecutive win.
It was an effortless homecourt win for the Beermen against a talent-less team, and to some spectators, the game was already decided at the end of the first quarter. The Beermen dressed 7 players of which all starters have a monstrous double double performance with Gaetano Tambalo leading the way with game high 31 points and 11 rebounds. Chen Dingzong, nearly had a 5x5 feat, also played magnificent game with 30 points, 20 assists, 5 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 blocks.
The Beermen started the second half aggressively as they poured down 43 third quarter points against to only 4 for the Pines City Evicerators. The Beermen didn't slow down since then. "It's like we are having our practice shooting, they gave us wide open shots and they don't contest much of our shot inside and out." said Gaetano Tambalo in front of the reporters.
On the other hand, letting the main players off the court had the ticket sales suffered, with only 8,797 seats filled. "I'm sad to see empty seats but i really have to let my key players to skip this game. It is in preparation for our upcoming game in the Philippine Cup Tournament. I want to test our key players' skill against a top team, I hope the opposing team will suit their best players. I just hope we could catch a big fish comes game time." told coach Huck Finn. "Nevertheless, I gave the reserves a chance to show off their skills and to impress the fans. It will also help the team to build more home-based fans." he ended.
Rumor says otherwise. Johnas Dispo opted not to play in today's game due to a demand letter sent to him by his former coach at the U21 team, Lolo Smithz. A reliable source told that Dispo received the letter upon arrival from Taiwan. A lot of people, mainly Zebu Mayas employees, saw Dispo talking to Manager Lolo Smithz to settle the differences between them. Another source told that Dispo gave Lolo Smithz a souvenir from Taiwan, a jacket and a cd, as a peace offering. "Manager Lolo Smith accepted the gift but nobody knows if that flattened everything between them."
So, will Lolo Smithz tells us his side of the story? Is this just a fabricated story?
