Despite missing its twin towers of Japeth Aguilar and Christian Standhardinger, Barangay Ginebra has won its first three games in the PBA Governors' Cup.
Gin Kings head coach Tim Cone said Japeth Aguilar will miss more time after he sat out theirThe high-flying forward hurt his knee in their comeback victory over erstwhile unbeaten NLEX last Wednesday, sitting out half of the fourth quarter, then wore street clothes and got reduced to a spectator against the Batang Pier.A welcome development for Cone, though, is the possible return of Christian Standhardinger in another “Clasico” matchup against Magnolia on Sunday, February 12.
Despite missing its twin towers, Ginebra has somehow made its small ball lineup work, with Justin Brownlee, Jamie Malonzo, and Jeremiah Gray filling the void inside the paint, as it sits at solo second place with a 3-0 card. While Brownlee has been his usual self, putting up a near triple-double average of 31.7 points, 13.7 rebounds, and 9.7 assists, Malonzo and Gray have also been superb.“We’re playing small ball, although when you have Jamie and Miah and Justin together, you’re not that small,” said Cone.
“But they are quick, they’re running, and they’re able to get out and rotate for each other on defense. It is a fun combination.”
