the "slash".

yesterday was no ordinary day for a PBA fanatic. why? there's a doubleheader on a monday. in PBA schedules, there are games ONLY on wednesday, friday, and sunday. there are also games on thursday and saturday, but only one game. and it's usually held outside manila.

first game: Ginebra vs BK
nothing much. except that Ginebra won, and Cyrus Baguio is with them. he's formerly from BK.

second game: TnT vs RoS
the big game, for me. it was a tight game from the very beginning. in the first three quarters, the Elasto Painters were leading. the biggest lead was 10. but then...

announcer: *buzzer* substitution, Jared Dillinger for Harvey Carey (i think).

let the real game begin. while he was playing, i quoted the commentator saying:
That's why he's called "The Daredevil"!
well, he did pretty well. i learned that he's called such because his favorite (and most wonderfully executed) move is the "slash". how is it done? it's like climbing an imaginary flight of stairs then shooting the ball in mid-air. when he did it, there's a defender who fouled him. even though you'd see it as if he fouled the defender. but no. and he gets the charity.

so, they won. 102-96. the reason why the Texters grabbed the lead is...
The Painters had their last taste of the lead at 96-94 before Dillinger scored on a short stab, Alapag nailed a charity then Peek also scored from short range as the Texters took the lead to stay at 99-96.
good game. thanks to the benches. :)
