MANILA, Philippines—Much like plenty of PBA teams, Vietnam simply had no answer for June Mar Fajardo when he got going during their Group A game in the 30th Southeast Asian Games at Mall of Asia Arena on Friday night.
It was a terrific performance for the five-time PBA Most Valuable Player, who is seeking his first gold medal in the SEA Games. Fajardo, who also displayed his passing skills with a nifty dime to Troy Rosario in the third frame, gave full credit to his teammates and coaches for the way they prepared against Vietnam.
"Lagi naman nire-remind ni coach na kailangan aggressive kami. Aggressive kami sa game na ito kasi tinambakan nila kalaban nila sa first and second game nila," said Fajardo.For the big man, the key to victory wasn't his own sensational performance, but the squad's focus on the defensive end. Gilas limited Vietnam to just 29.7% shooting from the field, including just 7 of 38 from beyond the arc.
Wow congrats philippines
