Pilipinas bows out of the consolation tournament, shifts focus to Nippon for next season's Asia Cup
Hindi pa tayo eligible for home court during this consolation tournament kaya naman it was a good time to try and test different lineups while still trying to win games. Unfortunately, natalo tayo on some winnable games natin based sa rankings.
The same problems pa rin ang nag-plague sa atin during this season and the next few more kaya naman we will need to be patient with our trainees habang hinihinog pa natin sila. For the meantime, susubukan pa rin nating maipanalo ang bawat laro sa kung sino ang mga available for that week.
A significant milestone was reached this season. Congratulations to Leorio Lovino and his owner, Alonzo Hood, for breaking the All-Time Scoring Record posted by Andrew Solima (1,716pts) noong season 22, 40 seasons ago. 2nd na rin siya sa All-Time Assist Record natin after passing Ulan Cantara (434asts). He is now trailing Lyndon de la Peña who has 698asts, malayo sa 450asts niya ngayon.
May isang graduating player lang tayo this season, Errol Tuliva has finished his NT duties with a total of 72 caps for the Senior team. May he enjoy his remaining years as a player and his retirement from the national squad.
Next season naman ang 34-year old season ng mga sumusunod: Francis Edaño, Jacinto Estorninos, Leorio Lovino at Lirio Mangada. Most likely their last season donning the NT colors unless mapigilan nila ang sakit na kinakaharap ng mga 34-year old players ng BB: Skill deterioration.
We look forward sa paglipad natin pa-Japan next season for another attempt sa medal finish pati na ang pwesto para sa Season 64 World Cup.
Maraming salamat sa lahat na patuloy na sumusuporta sa ating koponan at mga pursigidong trainers natin na katuwang natin sa paglago.
Laban Pilipinas!
