A lot of speculations are being done after the previous game of Ginebra and Talk n Text, where the Tropang Texters able to succeed and stole one game against the Kings. What was the real reason why TNT won Game 2? Here are the answers:
Defense
Talk n Text really played tremendous defense against Ginebra. They just limit the Kings with 79 points at the end of the game. We did good defense as well giving TNT an average of only 80 points per game, a Semi Final average for the tropang texters but still we came short. We cannot win not scoring more than 90 points against TNT.
Vmack's points is limited
Due to the TNT's defense Vernon Macklin only had 15 points where he is averaging 24.50 PPG. The lead of TNT is only six (6) points, imagine if Vernon scored upon his average we might won the game. But is is not that Vernon is not shoot
ing good. It is because TNT played a good night defending Vernon.
Free throws
We only shot 47.6% on the free throw line while TNT had 71.4%. We missed 11 out of 21 free throws given to us. The texters only missed six (6) points at the fifth teen foot line. Counting the ratio if we made all our free throws we might able to win the game.
Cannot stop Jayson Castro
From the start of the semi-finals, Jayson Castro seems to be the problem for Ginebra. It seems that they never know how to stop his blazing speed driving the painted lane.
Ginebra really did a good game last night. They really just came short. TNT last night won the game but they never got it that easy. We just need to adjust the next game and take note of these missing links that we had.
You can stop Jason Castro not by standing and waiting for him to take off, but by continue pursuing him gliding to the left everytime he dribbles to the left corner court for a lay-up.He glides so well to the left everytime he penetrates. huwag kayong makuha sa fake moves niya, do the Jaworski anticipation moves of your opponent. Use your hands, use your intimidation technique. Castro is just a 5'7 not so tall a player. Great timings can intimidate this man. I know it is easy said and done, but sometimes you have to take some advice from those who watch the games. I hate Castro doing it to Ginebra.
