Filipino: MVP Cup: Pinabagsak ng koponan ng PBA na Talk N Text ang Taiwan NT, 99-91 ngayon Sabado sa Master Game Face MVP Cup 2015 sa Smart Araneta Coliseum lungsod Quezon. Ang dating sentro ng Gilas Pilipinas na si Moala Tautuaa ay bumuhat para sa Tropang Texters sa umaatikabong 20 Puntos at 13 Rebounds. Ang isa pang miyembro ng Gilas na si Troy Rosario ay bumuslo para sa Texters ng 19 Puntos at 9 Rebounds.
PBA number one draft pick Tautuaa dominated the big men of Taipei, slashing and driving against Quincy Davis and Tien Lei at will. Tautuaa and Rosario ganged-up in rebounding against Taiwan, with both PBA rookies almost outrebounding the entire Taipei squad, 22 to 28.
Veterans Danny Seigle and Denok Miranda also made good account of themselves by scoring 17 and 11 markers respectively.
Talk N Text is playing as replacement for Lebanon NT in the MVP Cup and is missing the services of Philippine Basketball Team players Jayson Castro, Ranidel De Ocampo and Matt Ganuelas Rosser. Kelly Williams another Texters power player is missing the action due to an MCL injury. Chinese Taipei for their part is not playing with star center Tsun Wen Ting and backup big man Wu Tai Hao. Taiwanese sniper Lin Chi Chieh is also not playing due to slight injury.
Though Taiwan NT is not playing with their certified star players due to injuries, some observers believe they are being preserved for the upcoming FIBA Asia 2015. Others believe that Taiwan might just be scouting the strength of Gilas in case they face them in Changsha. No matter the reason, Taiwan NT is still a dangerous national squad sans Tsun and Lin.
Taiwan NT will next face Gilas Pilipinas in the main event at 5PM tomorrow.
TALK N TEXT 99: Tautuaa 20, Rosario 19, Seigle 17, Miranda 11, Fonacier 9, Rodriguez 8, Sumalinog 5, Reyes J. 4, Reyes R. 3, Aban 3, Espiritu 0, Carey 0.
TAIWAN NT 91: Liu 24, Tien 19, Tsai 16, Davis 11, Chen 6, Lu 5, Chen S. 4, Chen S. 3, Hung 3.
Quarters: 28-25, 44-47, 68-73, 99-91 TNT Wins
