IPINALIWANAG na ni Justin Brownlee bakit DINUROG ng GINEBRA ang SMB sa GAME 1 ng semifinals

Why Ginebra crushed SMB in Game 1 of the semifinals?

Ginebra’s motivation came from their tragic loss to SMB in the elimination round. This loss inspired Justin Brownlee to score 5 out of 6 shots in the four-point area, leading to Ginebra’s victory in Game 1 of the semifinals. Coach Team Con, however, was not in favor of the new PBA rule, believing it favored his team due to Justin’s performance. Despite his disapproval, Coach Team acknowledged that the rule could be beneficial for his team in the long run, as RJ Abarientos could also utilize it effectively.

Junmar Fajardo, the 8-time PBA MVP, was visibly disappointed after the loss to Ginebra. He scored only 16 points in the game, a far cry from his usual performance. Coach George Gallent attributed the loss to a lack of effort and discipline on the part of SMB’s players. However, many fans believe that fatigue played a significant role in SMB’s defeat.

Despite the loss, SMB still has a chance to bounce back in the series. With Junmar Fajardo back to full strength and the rest of the team motivated to redeem themselves, SMB could still pose a threat to Ginebra.
