Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Begins Semifinal Series Against San Miguel Beermen

The Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (Ginebra) is set to begin their semifinal series against the San Miguel Beermen (SMB) on October 9, 2024. This is the first time the two teams have faced each other in the semifinals since the 2019 Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Governors’ Cup.

The Ginebra are coming into the series as the favorites, having swept the Meralco Bolts in the quarterfinals. The SMB, on the other hand, had to fight their way to the semifinals, defeating the Converge FiberXers in a do-or-die game.

The Ginebra are led by their superstar import, Justin Brownlee. Brownlee is a six-time PBA champion and has been named the league’s Best Import three times. He is also a member of the Philippine national team.

The SMB are led by their import, AJ Anque. Anque is a replacement import for Jordan Adams, who was injured. Anque has been impressive in his short time with the SMB, and he is expected to give Brownlee a tough challenge.

The Ginebra and the SMB are two of the most storied franchises in the PBA. They have a long history of rivalry, and their games are always highly anticipated by fans.

The semifinal series between the Ginebra and the SMB is expected to be a classic. Both teams are talented and motivated, and they are sure to put on a show for the fans.
