SGA ‘niluto’ sa semis; hindi lalaro sa bronze medal match

Chris Co - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines —  Nagdesisyon ang Strong Group Athletics na mag-witdraw sa bronze-medal match nito sa 34th Dubai International Basketball Championship sa Al Nasr Club.

Ito ay bilang protesta sa kanilang masaklap na 68-63 semifinal loss sa Tunisia kahapon kung saan tinukoy ng SGA ang ilang non-calls sa buong laro.

“Our decision comes after our semifinal matchup against Tunisia on Saturday evening, where we encountered officiating inconsistencies that significantly impacted the outcome of the contest. Throughout the game, multiple non-calls were made against us, with crucial decisions favoring Tunisia,” ayon sa statement ng SGA.

Nanawagan ang SGA na magkaroon ng patas na officiating.

“We call for equality and fairness in officiating and for the game to be treated with the proper respect,” ayon pa sa SGA.

Dahil dito ay hindi na lalaruin ng SGA ang third-place game laban sa UAE.

Ilan sa mga tinukoy ng SGA ang non-foul kay Tunisian big man Mokhtar Ghyaza na nakita sa video na may contact kay Rhenz Abando, may 4.1 segundo pang nalalabi.

Puntirya sana ni Abando na maitabla ang laro kung pumasok ang three-point shot.

Subalit nagkaroon ng contact si Ghyaza dahilan para magmintis si Abando at makuha ng Tunisia ang ball possession.

“Despite the obvious contact, the referees failed to call a foul, effectively sealing Tunisia’s victory and ending our championship hopes. As competitors, we respect the game and its governing principles,” ayon pa sa SGA.
