MANILA, Philippines — Strong Group Philippines put an emphatic end to its back-to-back William Jones Cup championship after whitewashing United Arab Emirates, 87-62 on Sunday in Taipei City.The Philippine club team, which successfully retained the Jones Cup crown following its 92-68 rout of Bahrain last Saturday, closed the tournament with an 8-0 sweep, matching its similar sweep last year.
“It’s special, especially because I don’t know if we will be able to have this group again,” Strong Group coach Charles Tiu said in a statement posted at its website.“DJ and Brickman are probably joining the draft, Javi and Rhenz will probably have different teams already, and we don’t know where our other guys will be next year.”“But we had a great group of guys—guys committed to winning and sacrificing for the team. It’s rare to have this kind of chemistry and character guys on the team.
