HONG KONG — RP-Air21 flexed its muscle hard enough to post an easy 105-71 win over Singapore at the start of the 15th Eastcolight-Super Kung Sheung Cup international invitational basketball championships at the Hong Kong Coliseum here Tuesday.


The win installed the 2006 PBA Fiesta Cup third placer as one of the early favorites in the tough, eight-nation tournament.

That’s what FedEx-RP is bringing home at the conclusion of the 14th Eastcolight Super Kung Sheung Cup International Invitational Championships at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

The Filipinos, ever so eager to live up to their billing as Southeast Asia’s best, showed too much class in beating newly-crowned SEABA champion Malaysia, 84-57, to finish third overall behind eventual champion Hong Kong and United States-based Asian American Sports Club.

To compound their woes, the Filipinos were bracketed with the favored South Koreans, the touted Lebanese and the dangerous Kuwaitis in Group C of the 16-nation biennial tournament. These limitations further reduced their chances of advancing to the quarterfinals of the event confined to players 18 years and under.

The Filipinos, powered by RenRen Ritualo, Wynne Arboleda and Ryan Bernardo, surged ahead, 26-11, by the end of the first quarter and were never headed en route to a 2-win, 1-loss card after the elimination round of the eight-nation tournament.

The Filipinos were in the fight up to the last five minutes, 66-62, only to lose steam and lapse into errors that enabled the taller, younger Chinese-Americans to drop a 25-8 bomb and pull away.

With the loss, RP-Lifan FedEx needs to beat Japan-Kagoshima at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Singapore at 7 p.m. Thursday to make it as Group B semifinalist of the eight-nation tournament.

And the Burlington-supported Filipinos made sure they would win it convincingly.

"This is another big day for Philippine basketball," said RP-Burlington coach2 Johny Tam.

The Filipinos had the Malaysians gasping for air in a telling 25-7 start that set the tone of the contest watched by a capacity crowd which cheered the Filipinos no end.
