Game Plan : Game 1 vs TNT

After an exciting series with the Elasto Painters, another rival team will try to beat the most electrifying team in the PBA. The Tropang Texters are set to play with Barangay Ginebra San Miguel this Friday, April 25 at exactly 6:45 PM at the big dome. The Kings had proven that they can win without the Spark playing on the hard court. But can they really battle against a Championship Team like TNT without the reigning MVP. Mark is still doubt to play on Game 1 but he himself said in an interview that the team can win even without him.
The new import of TNT made Vernon like out of the blue when they first met where the Kings where beaten badly and Macklin had a bad game. Here are some points we need to consider as game plan to defeat the team of Coach Norman Black:

Control the Paint
Ginerba's import was tested over Bruno Sundov, but Jordan is different from Sundov. They must protect the paint from rebounds. They can let Jordan shoot those outside shots but not those under the basket. Let different local players guard the TNT import for the first three quarters and let Vernon take charge at the fourth.

Limit the Shooters
TNT has many shooters and we need to sustain them. If they will shoot three point shots with ease, Ginebra will not able to fight back. The Kings has a very low three point shot percentage.

Strong Start
All the games that Ginebra won started with a strong start. So they must start strong so they can have early momentum.

Defense versus Defense
This must be the main game plan for the team to beat TNT. Our opponent is known to be a good defensive team. To beat them we must play good defense as well. This is how we beat ROS and this will also be effective against them. We have to limit them not over 80 points to win.
