MANILA, Philippines – The Zamboangueños came through right in the opener.
Mike Tolomia, Rudy Lingganay, Peter Alfaro, and Das Esa stepped up as the Zamboanga Valientes stunned Ningbo Bulls, 82-75, in The Asian Tournament on Friday night, April 19, in Guandong, China.
The Filipino quartet teamed up with American import Nick Evans as the Valientes scored an upset over the Chinese in their first game in the regional club tournament.
Evans, who reinforced Rain or Shine in the Jones Cup last year, paced the Valientes with 17 points.
Lingganay and Alfaro, a former San Beda team captain, dropped 10 points each, while Tolomia chipped in 5 points.
Team owner Junie Navarro said it’s the first time the Valientes beat a Chinese club.
The Valientes hope to sustain their strong start against the Taiwan Mustangs, who tapped former PBA star Alex Cabagnot, on Saturday night. – Rappler.com
