Nakauna agad at maagang nakuha ang momentum at initiative ng defending champion Talk ‘N Text at tinalo ang challenger at dating champion Barangay Ginebra sa Game 1 sa malaking agwat, 104-88, sa Governor’s Cup sa PBA 49th season sa dinumog na Ynares Center sa Antipolo City na pinanood ng mga PBA diehard fans sa lalawigan ng Rizal.


Kinontrol ng Tropang Giga ang laro at lumamang ng 20 points, 89-69, sa drive ni Roger Pogoy matapos umiskor si Rey Nambatac sa return play at iposte ang walang kahirap-hirap na panalo. Umiskor si Nambatac ng 18 points at 10 rebounds at seven assists sa una niyang final appearance at tinanghal na best player of the game.


“We played well-coordinated game. Our offense and defense are on the right track,” sabi ni coach Chot Reyes. “Game 1 pa lang marami pang mangyayari along the way sa playoff. We’ll prepare because Barangay Ginebra will get back at us in Game 2,” wika ng 60 years old TNT coach.


Nilabas ni coach Tim Cone si Justin Browlee sa huling dalawang minuto bagamat malapit nang.sumurender ang tropa. Maagang umarangkada ang Tropang Giga at sinamantala ang malamig na simula ng Kings na lumamang ng three points thrice, ang huli 27-15, at umabante ng 15 points, 34-19 sa pinagsanib puwersa nina Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Roger Pogoy at dating NLEX Road Warriors Calvin Oftana.


Biglang nabuhayan nang loob ang Barangay Ginebra nang rumatsada ng 10-2 five minutes run lima kay Justin Brownlee at lumapit sa 33-38. Subalit hindi natinag at nasiraan nang loob ang TNT tinapos ang first half lamang 43-37.


Para kay coach Chot malaking bagay at puhunan na manalo sa initial game sa best-of-seven playoffs dahil tataas ang morale at fighting spirit at kumpiyansa sa sarili ng kanyang players.


“Winning Game 1 is a big factor and very important because it gives the players the needed morale boost and confidence,” sabi ni Reyes matapos talunin ang mga bata ni coach Tim Cone.


“We’ll try and go for second win. Kailangan maglaro kami nang husto both offensively and defensively and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and the rest of the players play well,” wika ni Reyes target ang pang- 11 PBA title.


“It’s a long way to go. Game 1 pa lang. There are quirks or unexpected things happening along the way in the playoff. Kailangan laging handa kami sa lahat nang oras sa darating na mga laro,” dagdag ni Reyes.


Panay ang balasa ni coach Tim Cone ng kanyang mga players. Subalit hindi makahulma ng epektibong formula paa pigilin at talunin ang humahalimaw na Tropang Texters na hindi nagpasuko sa Kings
