‘Rebounding is always important’, says Greg Slaughter as Ginebra struggles again

Sports5 file/Pranz Kaeno Billones

Just how important is the rebounding battle in the playoffs?

Its value certainly isn’t lost on Barangay Ginebra center Greg Slaughter, the tallest player in the PBA and one-half of the Kings’ daunting twin tower combination.

“Rebounding is always important,” Slaughter told InterAksyon.com after Ginebra dropped the first game in its quarterfinals series against Alaska.

“Whoever controls the rebound wins the game.”

Rebounding has been a major issue for Ginebra in the past few games. Despite having Slaughter and Japeth Aguilar to banner the tallest frontline in the league, the Gin Kings have found themselves outrebounded by smaller opponents of late.

They were destroyed off the boards by a smaller San Mig Coffee squad, 60-39, and were outrebounded, 49-42, in a recent blowout loss to Talk ‘N Text.

They fared slightly better than that in this one, though they still fell on the wrong side of the rebounding battle.

Alaska edged Ginebra, 48-46, but only just barely.

“I guess tonight’s battle of the boards is pretty even,” Slaughter said.

The seven-foot-tall rookie believes there were other factors that led to his team’s setback in this particular game.

“I think we got outhustled. We didn’t shoot well on treys, they shot pretty well on treys. They played really well. Good game,” he said.

“They played like they really wanted it more, having to play with their backs against the wall and they were really coming strong.”

Kaya lamang ng konti ang Aces sa rebounding dahil maganda ang shooting percentage nila wala tayong mashadong makukuha na defensive rebounds. pero sana kahit panget ang shooting percentage ng ginebra sana nanaig sila sa offensive rebounds pero, yun pa din ang prob nila na gugulangan sila sana makapag adjust kagad sila bago sa kangkungan nanaman tayo pulutin.. goodluck!

Eto ang konting adjustment ko sa game sa sabado

Instead si Greg ang starting Center si Reyes muna, para mapagod ni Reyes si Thoss.

PG - Monfort
SG - LA
SF - Macbac
PF - Japeth
