Discar game changer. Congrats coach Lolo!

oo laking pasalamat ako kay discar talaga. hero of the game. grabe siya yung nagrescue sa team natin sa huli. (y)

:D XD (party) :) :o)

buti lang nanalo. sayang yung normal if natalo :P

Sakit sa Hong Kong nun, pati yung GDP. Pero at least coach tapos na pinakamahirap na kalaban sa group. Maganda din na nagpi-peak ang laro ng players sa tamang oras. Ang galing coach!

Calculated risk ko yung normal coz if tie tayo parang talo tayo talaga. Next game sa HK ay halimaw Taiwan 6-0 din sa 1st round. Talo HK next game 0-2 na sila. Mahirap na yan nakaabot ng semis if ganun. So laking decision gawin nila na magnormal ba sila o magtie. Same din sa Taiwan.

Sana yung ginawa ko makatulong sa atin in the end. Either way a win is a win. :)

The Veteran Strikes

After a 30 second timeout by Team Pilipinas at 2:48 mark of the 4th quarter, Edgardo Discar looked at the scoreboard seeing a 5 point Hongkong lead (103-98) andthen look at starting PG Ulan Cantara. Cantara was already fatigued after scoring 33 points so far in the game keeping Pilipinas within striking distance of an upset win. Discar decided to take matters in his own hands.

Discar ran down the 24 second clock and took a 3 point shot which missed but he was able to snag down the offensive rebound and then ran outside to shoot another three which found its mark slashing the HK lead to 2. After Cleofas blocked a shot the ball was thrown again to Discar who took another 3 pointer but was fouled in the process. Discar calmly sank three free throws to give Pilipinas a 1 point lead 104 to 103. 5 seconds after HK inbounded the ball Discar swiped the ball that lead to another shot by Johnas Dispo. At that point HK's offense crumbled which enabled Team Pilipinas to snatch a come from behind win 118 to 106. Coach Lolo Smithz was seen jumping for joy after the game ended and was seen hugging and high fiving his players.

Lolo Smithz was all praise for the hero of the game. "That was an incredible and amazing win. One for the books. Discar again saved the day for the NT squad with his savvy veteran moves. That 6 point explosion and that steal was a game changer which emboldened our team to finish the game strong. At 31 he already has a one to two seasons left of NT service for our country. With this game he has cemented his place as one of the best shooting guards to grace the Pilipinas NT squad ever."

"Of course the win wouldn't have been possible if Ulan "The Rainman" Cantara hadn't chipped in 37 points also. He shot an amazing 15 out of 21 shoots playing point and adding 5 assists and 3 rebounds to his magnificent effort. We also made 21 out of 22 free throws which is quite amazing for a high octane game like this. Marlon Benedicto had a 19 points and 13 rebounds game to add to our success today. Johnas Dispo was ineffective in the first half scoring only 2 points but scored 13 points in the 3rd and 4th quarter to greatly help out cause also."

"4 more games to go. Just win three and we are one step into the semis. Miracles still do happen it seems." :)

bakit ganun coach, Inside Iso pero iyong PG ang trumabaho....

inexpect mo po ba iyan?

naguluhan kasi ako. haha

gumawa ng mismatch si lolo sa PG spot kasi maganda ang scoring ni Ulan sa loob hehe.. Nice win lo! 37 pts ftw!

ahh.. so kapag iso hahanapin niya iyong best mismatch sir..

yep based sa nabasa ko inside iso needs players who can go inside and score if not they need to shoot the ball outside also. parang princeton din pero ito is more team based as compared to princeton which is pass to the front court first. maganda ang inside scoring ni ulan that's why mahirap pigilin mismatch sa guard spot. may isang player pa tayo sana na masmagaling ni ulan na inside guard pero pangit ang GS. ganda sana tingnan dalawang guards scoring at will.

try niyo inside iso you will see so many 3 point shots being attempted. more than 20 usually.

nakita ko din sa game ng HK muntik sila natalo sa inside iso sa first round 3 point win lang so ginamit ko na rin. either way it was a game for us to lose naman.

try niyo ito hanap kayo ng isang guard mababa ang JR like average to respectable lang. mataas ang JS (stupendous up) and mataas ang driving at handling (prodigious up) then e magpatient ka. he will drive and shoot midrange shoots more often when he has a mismatch. parang inside iso ang lumabas. skill niya sa outside shooting is low so more often hindi siya tumira outside the 3 point line pero deadly siya sa midrange at driving. if may IS siya (at least strong) you will see him dunk the ball when driving.

ito isang player ko dati. patient ko palagi umabot ng 30 to 50's a game.

Jump Shot: stupendous Jump Range: average
Outside Def.: marvelous Handling: wondrous
Driving: prodigious Passing: prominent
Inside Shot: pitiful Inside Def.: average
Rebounding: respectable Shot Blocking: pitiful
Stamina: inept Free Throw: sensational

Hometown hero lifts NT just in the nick of time

"We've been trailing the entire game and always when we thought we were going to take the lead, the HK cagers always seem to find a way to foil us everytime. When I looked around, my teammates were already worn out. Ulan was pushing but he needed help to get us over that hump. The clock went down to the last 2 mins and we all know something had to be done. When I came back in, I just knew that this was the final push. That's when everything slowed down and everything fell into place. It's hard to describe but anyone who's been in that situation knows what I'm talking about. I guess that's something you develop when you've played as long as I have." Discar told reporters during the after game interview.

"Edgardo Discar has always been playing with a chip on his shoulder ever since the team has been relegated to League 3 a few seasons ago. So it's always feels good to see him succeed and vindicate himself in times like these. To shut up his doubters and prove that he still has something left in his tank." Mr. Mokong was quoted after the close win last Monday.

"He's always been doubted as being too soft, or too selfish and was descirbed as a Kobe wannabe, but I know deep inside he just wants to give his best everytime and all he needs is the opportunity to do so.", he added later on during team practice. "He works very hard and has been a perfect role model for his teammates, specifically Gasendo and Pancubila. True, his salary has been an issue and has caused issues with us being able to recruit more talented players around him, but a player like him comes once every generation and we can't put a price on that.
