Qatar survives Gilas, stays perfect in Stankovic Cup08/11/2010 | 10:19 PM

Share Targuy Ngombo proved to be too much for the Filipinos to handle and powered Qatar to a 66-61 triumph over Smart-Gilas Pilipinas in the FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup at the Ghazir Sporting Club in Beirut Tuesday (Wednesday morning in Manila).

Ngombo, who averaged 31.5 points in his team’s first two victories, came away with 29 points to lead all scorers and spearheaded Qatar’s assault against the Filipinos.

The explosive, 6-foot-6 Ngombo, also added nine rebounds.

Ngombo lighted things up as early as the first period when his nine points triggered a 14-0 assault that pushed Qatar ahead, 21-6.

“We got our rhythm early. We needed that against this team, which relies mostly on speed," said Fakhroo.

“Look how they scared us as the game progressed," he added.

The national team aspirants, who are also being supported by GMA PinoyTV, fought their way back into the game behind Marcio Lassiter and Chris Tiu, who scored 11 points apiece.

If we had another Greg Slaughter type of player, it would be better to have Diamon Simpson but unfortunately we don't.

Simpson looks like he's 6' 8". Anyway, I also think it would be nice to have him as a naturalized player.

There are rumors that Kiefer Ravena will join Smart Gilas next year. Anybody know if this is true?

 

[manilaboyxix]

Gilas is currently playing in the ABA club invitationals in China.

Douthit and Slaughter are back with the team together with Lutz.

In the event that Ryan Reyes, Kelly Williams and Asi Taulava would be available for Gilas, I wonder who they'd scratch off from the line-up.

Guards: Barroca, Casio, Reyes, Tiu, Lutz, Lassiter
Forwards: Ababou, Aguilar, Baracael, Williams
Centers: Ballesteros, Douthit, Slaughter, Taulava

Gilas wins first game in the FIBA-Asia Champions Cup against Saudi Arabia..

It was the Japeth Aguilar show, probably his best game with Gilas. I think he had 4 or 5 slam dunks in that game.
