RCadayona - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines – Umiskor ng magkahi­walay na panalo ang Barangay Ginebra at ang Kia Motors sa pagsisimula ng 2014 PBA Philippine Cup kagabi sa Philippine Arena sa Bocaue, Bulacan.

Pinatumba ng Gin Kings ang Talk ‘N Text Tro­pang Texters, 101-81, habang giniba ng Sorento ang Blackwater Elite, 80-66, para sa kanilang 1-0 record.

Natupad ng 35-anyos at 5-foot-6 na si Pacquiao ang kanyang pinapangarap na makapaglaro sa PBA, ngunit kinailangan ang tulong ni LA Revilla para makamit ang una niyang panalo bilang playing coach ng Sorento.

Ilang minuto lamang naglaro ang Filipino world eight-division champion sa first quarter at tumapos na may 2 turnovers at 1 foul, ngunit nakakuha ng career-high na 23 points kay Revilla.

“Malaking bagay ‘yung ginawa ni LA tonight,” sabi ni Pacquiao sa dating La Salle Green Archer. “Hindi baleng hindi ako makapag­laro basta laging mananalo ang Kia.”

Umiskor si Revilla, nagmula sa Globalport, ng 14 points sa third period kung saan bumangon ang Kia mula sa 13-point deficit sa Blackwater para kunin ang 61-51 bentahe sa fourth quarter.
