China Whips Cebu’s Best
By Marian C. Baring Sun.Star Staff Reporter
THE Chinese squad from Huaqiao University quashed the impression that the University of the Visayas is the better team and proved UV’s win over China in Bogo was a mere fluke as they took the 6th Asian Universities Basketball Championship, 82-76, Saturday night at the Cebu Coliseum. 华侨大学击败了University of the Visayas (UV)证明了此前UV在Bogo击败他们只是是侥幸罢了. 比分是82:76 However, the Green Lancers showed their warriors’ hearts that brought them seven straight titles of the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. (Cesafi) and managed to earn the respect of the Chinese. 虽然如此但是UV还是显示了他们的决心,以及得到了中国人的尊重.
“They are very good. Their speed is extraordinary. It’s just that we played better than last time,” said China’s point guard, the Chinese-Malaysian Guganeswaran Batumalai, who was named the Most Valuable Player. 决赛MVP :Guganeswaran Batumalai中国马来西亚混血得分后卫(这个人是不是古佳尼?)说:"他们很棒,速度很快,只不过是我们在最后表现教好而已. The 26-year-old Batumalai, who is on his last year in the university, proudly displayed his MVP trophy. His first ever in his collegiate basketball career in China. 26岁的Batumalai今年在华侨大学是最后一年.他自豪的炫耀着自己的MVP奖杯. “We do not have MVP awards in China and this is really great for me,” Batumalai said, who will be going back to his father’s homeland, Malaysia, after finishing his studies.
Batumalai说我再中国没有获得MVP.他说他要在毕业之后回到他父亲的祖国马来西亚.(古佳尼要回国?) On the other hand, Cabahug admitted that his players were intimidated.
另外CabahugUV的教练承认他的队员被击败了. “It is disappointing because we had the edge since we won over them before and we are playing at our home court. They got scared,” Cabahug said. 他说:"这是另人失望的,因为我们曾经有机会取得胜利,而且我们还是在主场作战,他们太紧张了." Batumalai said their play in Bogo was a bit off because they were tired as they had not expected to travel that far. “We just prepared ourselves to play against them this time. That’s why we won,” Batumalai said. Batumalai 手上次在Bogo被UV击败是因为他们经过长时间的旅途太劳累了."我们这次只是做好了和UV作战的准备而已,这是我们取胜的原因." Third failure
This is UV’s third botched attempt at winning a crown in a year following their losses in the Champions League and the National Students Basketball Championships, where they could only finish second.
In the game, UV, which just received a long pep talk from head coach Elmer “Boy” Cabahug started off strong with an 11-7 lead behind Ritchum Dennison and Junjun Lasala. 由于UV大学的Ritchum Dennison and Junjun Lasala. 的出色表现UV大学以11:7领先.
However, they lost the advantage as quickly as they established it when Batumalai led China to a furious 12-0 rally to take the momentum on their favor and close the period with a 19-11 lead. 但是很快在Batumalai led的带领下,华侨大学打了一拨12-0,结果华侨反而以19:11领先. Zhang Jiabin and Jiang Xinxin took over in the second frame for a 37-32 lead going into the final half before stretching it to 68-55 in the fourth period behind Yu Xiang’s efforts. 张佳宾和蒋欣欣在第二节发挥,在进入下半场之前比分是37:32华侨领先.第三节202CM的于翔的努力下华侨以68:55领先. At this point, Cabahug felt his team had to pull out one of the tricks that earned them seven straight Cesafi titles—their trapping defense that works wonders anytime.
The full-court press sent panic on the Chinese forcing them to make turnovers that were converted into points by the Green Lancers. 全场华侨大学的坚强防守使UV大学发生了很多失误,并且把他们的失误化为得分.
Down 58-68 in the final four minutes of the game, the Green Lancers initiated a furious rally anchored by Von Lañete, Chris Diputado and Dennison to come four, 66-70.
UV’s rookie point guard and former Cesafi juniors MVP Harold Cincoflores then scored five straight points, including a bonus shot, which he earned after courageously charging the goal against Huaqiao’s 6-foot-10 center Chen Rongren, to inch closer, 74-71 with just 2:35 remaining in the game. UV的新人得分后卫,少年MVP Harold Cincoflores 连的5分包括一个压哨球.最后2:35华侨74:71领先. At 2:11, China pulled away again with a basket from Yu. UV called for a timeout but they once again made costly errors at such a crucial moment. 还有2:11华侨大学依靠于翔的得分拉开比分.UV大学只要好求暂停.但是他们又在关键时刻犯了错误. UV’s 6-foot-11 center Greg Slaughter lost the ball and Dennison missed an all-important triple that could have change the flavor of the game. 长人210CM的Slaughter发身失误,Dennison 投失了一个足以改变胜负的关键球.
Batumalai once more took the center stage and scored another basket by slicing past Slaughter, 78-71, with just 58 seconds left in the game, while Jiang and Batumalai sealed the deal by sinking their charity shots. Batumalai 古佳尼再次闪耀,他突破长人210CM的Slaughter后得分78:71华侨领先,这时比赛还有58秒. Yu topped the Huaqiao scorers with 19 points, while Zhang and Batumalai each had 17 points. Slaughter led the Lancers with 15 points while Dennison and Cincoflores had 14 and 12 points, respectively. 于翔得到华侨最高的19分,张佳宾和Batumalai 古佳尼?各的17分.UV的大长人210CM的Slaughter得到15分.Dennison 14分 Cincoflores 12分 Huaqiao (82)—Yu 19, Batumalai 17, Zhang 17, Jiang 12, Chen 6, Yen 6, Chee 3, Weng 2 UV (76)—Slaughter 15, Dennison 14, Cincoflores 12, Diputado 10, Mercader 8, Lanete 6, Lao 5, Lasala 4, Villanil 2.

4:00 p.m.
Korea vs. AUF
5:30 p.m.
UL vs. UV
With an immaculate 3-0 slate, the Lancers needed only to beat the winless University of Luzon (UL) Golden Tigers today to gain automatic final berth. They will clash at 5:30 pm, right after the showdown between Korea’s Han Yang University and the Angeles University Foundation (AUF) Great Danes at 4pm at the Cebu Coliseum. 在取得三联胜之后 University of the Visayas 只要击败University of Luzon 就可以进入决赛.
Slaughter bulldozed the concrete barrier of the Great Wall to cash in a game-high 23 points. So intimidating his presence was that it limited China’s top gunners Chen Rongren and Yu Xiang to only 10 points apiece. Slaughter用他取得的23分成功阻挡了中国长城.而且由于他的防守限制了中国队的得分,中国队得分最高是陈荣仁和徐翔分别得到10分. From the very start, the Lancers shackled the Chinese cagers with their porous defense. Also, the seven-time CESAFI champion outfoxed China on all facets of the game to post an eight-point lead at halftime, 40-32. They never looked back from that point on. 在比赛一开始University of the Visayas 就用他们坚强的防守限制了中国队球员的得分.尽管面对的是7届中国大学联赛冠军,他们还是取得了8分的半场领先.从此以后华侨大学再也没有赶上来过.
“We did it by our defense and all of my players really played well,” said an ecstatic UV head coach Elmer “Boy” Cabahug. University of the Visayas 的教练说:"我们的球员表现出了坚强的防守,他们打的都很好." Slaughter also drew huge support from Chris Victor Diputado and Harlow Chad Villanil, who finished with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Like the Koreans, the Chinese were very quick in transition, but they were deftly checked by an array of talented UV pointguards. 中锋Slaughter在与Chris Victor Diputado和 Harlow Chad Villanil的比赛中分别的到了14分和12分.给球队以很大的支持.中国和韩国是速度很快的球队.但是他们被University of the Visayas 的天才的前锋们很好的盯防住了. When pressed on who he would like to face in the championship, China or the Southwestern University (SWU) Cobras, Cabahug quickly replied that China is his main preference. 当被问到谁将在决赛中与University of the Visayas 会面时,Cabahug 教练很快回答是华侨大学.
“Considering that this is an international tournament, lahi gyud kung ang China imong pildehon kaysa taga Pilipinas lang,” Cabahug said.
As of this writing last night, the SWU Cobras are fighting for survival against the Han Yang University of South Korea. A loss by the Cobras means outright elimination, in the same way with the Koreans.
University of the Visayas 大学拥有菲律宾美国混血球员,身高6尺11寸(210CM)的强力内线Gregory .这场比赛他得到了23分.而且在防守端也给华侨大学的内线以很大的压力. 看来这场比赛华侨大学遇到了很大的麻烦.好象华侨最高的内线也才198CM吧? 而且还不知道已经毕业的古佳尼还有陈利伟等主力球员是否参加了这个比赛.他们现在可能还在忙自己毕业之后的去向问题吧?? 如果他们没有参加,华侨能打成这样已经不容易了.
