Ye Yongan makes a good league game debut
It has been his third game at home, yet people have been expecting the day wherein Ye Yongan plays the PPL game. There was this cup game wherein a loss means an end to the run, a private league against one of the best teams in the country, and this league game.

But this is not just a league game, it's the PPL, wherein nothing lese matters, and with this test, no one must fail.

Ye Yongan debuts for the PPL against the surprising newcomer team midterm. 20339 came to the PAL arena to witness what this guy could do. Can he make the team or break the rotation?

Yongan battled all critics by posting up an impressive debut, putting up 16 points in 22 minutes, with four three pointers, and two assists in the home game win against midterm. He, however, played in only 22 minutes as he was in foul trouble throughout the game.

Fellow Chinese Zhong Xianchong managed to fill up the void off the bench, yet he didn't deliver. And it was still Yongan who managed to play better basketball.

"Yongan is a good player, it's just that he's not used to the Pinoy play and he's just getting through, learning the bits and ends of the game." says one fan.

Hipolito Guarnes was the savior of the game, putting a season-rare 33 points, with Mervyn Jamora had 32 points, and Yongan had 16. Only the three of them managed to score in double figures for the Polydozels. Guarnes has been somewhat struggling, not giving the usual points but still is the main scorer, and Jamora doing consistent display of talent on the floor.

Carlos Castrogiovanni is sidelined for two weeks and this would be good time for Yongan to show his skills and help the team get a seat to the playoffs. Polydozel staff is not sure if the Argentine Castrogiovanni could play before the playoffs, but they have high hopes that at least a couple of games, he can play.

"I can't wait until next season to play with Yongan and help the team, we're both the new guys here, and we need to gel up with the system here." says Castrogiovanni.

Ignacio Gelle for sale

Ignacio Gelle, former Philippines NT player and Ireland league I.1's bright young superstar, has been put on to sale due to team disqualification. After much debate and drama, he came up with the decision to leave the team.

"I want out for the reason that I have to play good ball and go further than my potential. I'm getting stuck here."

Gelle, known for his intense offense and rebounding ability, was ruthless in that season in racking up double-doubles, night after night he was active in both categories, as he averages 17.5 points and 16.7 rebounds.

"He was at first, a pretty exemplary scorer, then a tenacious rebounder... but, this season is his time, where he matured more, and able to dominate in both categories." says one expert analyst.

It's Gelle's season, indeed, where career highs and absolutely stunning basketball is being displayed. Many are very hopeful that he won't stop soaring with his big upside, and still young, could be one of the country's best someday.

The Injury-Plagued Rockets next move after its relegation, REBUILD.

After a very disappointing 6-16 record in season 14, the Rockets' manager bluness decided to do one thing, REBUILD.
The Rockets started with a 0-5 record when the team's former key player Ritchie Ikotun was injured for 3 weeks during the season 14's Finals Game. Ikotun only played 6 games for the Rockets averages 18.2ppg,5rpg,4.5apg and 1.2spg.

Ikotun's numbers are not that impressive with his stat range, so the manager decided to sell him and buy 1 center, 1 guard and 1 prospect. After being sold by 4.5m, he was replaced by Enzo Ruperti, a promising guard in the future, Kuldar Pärn, a sniper from outside and Izak Kunteper, the Inside stopper.

After that transfer, the Rockets climbed up to the 6th spot but another crucial injury happened during the team's 18th game. Ikotun's former bestfriend, Sylvain Lécureuil, was injured for a week. "It was so frustrating that our main scorer was injured during the last 4 games, we were trying to avoid automatic relegation but still, our superstar was injured. I guess this is the teams destiny.", manager bluness said.

"Right now, the manager and staffs are trying to rebuild. Even if it means losing me too, i don't have a choice. I love this team, and i hope the manager would change his mind on selling me.", Sylvain Lécureuil said.

The Rockets are shopping some of their players now and another batch of players will be put on transfer list soon.

Bombers reach League IV.44 Finals for second straight season

Bombers beat Hunkz 93-69 on new year's day and earn another chance to promote to a higher division. Led by Peter Michael Carcellar, the Bombers's inside offense clearly took advantage of the 1-3-1 zone set against them. Antonio Saura fought valiantly to keep Hunkz within striking distance hitting shot after shot against any defender placed on him but got little help as his teammates shot 27% for a total of 37 points.

Carcellar led the Bombers with 20 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and added 5 blocks while Romel Trespeses almost had a triple double with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 9 assists to lead the balanced Bombers. It did not help when Hunkz's rotation, already shortened by Juan Jose Dodero's injury, lost another player when Alex Lao-ang, the team's starting point guard, fouled out after playing only 26 minutes.

The Bombers are set to play against the Big 8 champions Eggnoggs on January 4, 2011 at the Hidden Arena II.

Manila Bombers Off-season News Reel

Bombers edge Eggnoggs 92-88. Gives Greedy his second trophy

With Eggnoggs making a final run near the end of the 4th quarter, general manager Greedy was at the edge of his seat, fearing that they might need a decisive game 3. But when the buzzer sounded, he finally breath a sigh of relief. The Manila Bombers just won their first championship and Greedy's first since he was managing the Secret Warriors back in season 8.

Bombers acquire Daniel Corono

After winning the championship, Greedy immediately worked to improve the team by swapping Charlemagne Manila with Daniel Corono. The team wanted to keep Manila as he has the potential to become a perennial all star. However, he cannot improve much as he is buried in the bench with Romel Trespeses starting and Renan Daduya replacing him off the bench.

Romel Trespeses is the clear leader of the team last season. But with the Bombers promoting to Division III, he wouldn't stand a chance against the stronger big men. Daduya, once a formidable big man, is now just a shadow of himself. For season 15, his role is more of a mentor than a player. Thus, in getting Corono, the team has solved this problem.


Bombers select Eleno Montejo in season 14 draft

With the sixteenth pick in the draft, the team is not expecting much. However, when their second choice Montejo is available during their turn to pick, they wasted no time in choosing him. Also selected in the second and third round are Lin cousins Lin Kainan and Lin Yingyuan. As the owner wants to limit the roster to 15 players, the team had to cut Lin Yingyuan.
