MANILA, Philippines – A new team is ready to slug it out against the country’s best in the coming PBA 3x3 Season 3 Second Conference next week.
Asiad notes
HANGZHOU – Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) chairman Richard Bachmann said there’s no need to sound the alarm on Team Philippines, which has yet to strike gold after Day 6 of the competition here. He said it’s too early for that. “I’m still hoping,” Bachmann said. The gold has been elusive so far, even for skateboarder Margie Didal, who delivered one of the four golds in the 2018 edition. She came here nursing an ankle injury that required surgery 11 months ago, and finished eighth and last in her event last Wednesday. In 2018, the Philippines struck gold only after three days of competition through Hidilyn Diaz in women’s weightlifting. Also around that time, the Filipinos had four bronze medals on hand. No wonder that some people, six days into the Games, are set to push the panic button. “I’m looking at EJ Obiena (pole vault) and others who can pull off a surprise. You still have weightlifting. Hopefully, they can add,” Bachmann said. “Madami pa ‘yan.” That’s the spirit.

HANGZHOU – Gilas coach Tim Cone and his deputies must have spent hours trying to dissect the Thai team the Filipinos are going to face today in the basketball competitions of the 19th Asian Games here.
Heads shaking
HANGZHOU – From one headache to another. The woes continued for the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP) after it was forced to withdraw its women’s 3x3 team in the 19th Asian Games for lack of players. The team came here with four players, in the hope that Cielo Pagdulagan and Marga Villanueva would be allowed to replace veterans Camille Clarin and Angel Surada. No reason was provided on why Clarin and Surada did not make the trip when their names were on the final list of the Philippine delegation. Coach Pat Aquino learned of the decision Monday morning as the team prepared for its opening game against Jordan. With only Camille Nolasco and Louna Ozar eligible to play, Aquino had to pull the plug. “So sad dahil first time namin dito (Asian Games),” said Aquino. The Gilas men’s team was in the same predicament the past few days after its request to insert players who were not on the list it submitted to organizers were denied at the last minute. Heads are shaking.
CJ, 3 others in backup plan
MANILA, Philippines — While hoping concerted lobbying efforts for the approval of Tim Cone’s original 12 en masse will be fruitful, Gilas Pilipinas devised a contingency plan that should enable it to field a competitive team in the Asian Games in China.
