It was the second time that import Gabe Freeman went out of the playing court but the San Miguel Beermen is not so lucky this time around. After sitting on the bench mid in the fourth quarter due to cramps, the Gabe Freeman-led San Miguel Beermen lose the stronghold and eventually lose to the Coca-Cola Tigers as opposed to their first game against the Air21 Express. Chico Lanete led the Coca-Cola Tigers‘ late attack with his key three pointers and husle plays.

As always, its good to start defending the crown with a win. The San Miguel Beermen achieved just that by derailing the Air21 Express through the heroics of its new recruit in Alex Cabagnot, big man Jay Washington, and import Gabe Freeman.

Though very far from having a perfect form, the Beermen performed just enough to subdue a gritty Air21 Express squad.

The day for the San Miguel Beermen’s first match up this 2010 PBA Fiesta Conference starts as they battle a new-look Air21 Express – one of the few teams that made major player movements after the Philippine Cup.

The two teams were also involved in moving Mike “Cool Cat” Cortez to the Express in exchange for younger point guard Alex Cabagnot. As usual, players who were just recently traded usually played good basketball when they face their former teams so expect a good match up between Alex Cabagnot and Mike Cortez in the point guard position.

The trade rumors giving a clue that an infiltrator and a mercenary (referring to a ninja) might just join the San Miguel Beermen camp became a reality last night as trade news of Joseph Yeo officially traded to the Beermen for Bonbon Custodio was confirmed last night.

The move shores up the San Miguel Beermen small guard position. Offense-wise, Joseph Yeo can give us additional points per game. More than anything else, his fearless slashing ability and penetration of the shaded is something so valuable – something that we missed so badly in the series against Purefoods where most of our guards except Denok, dared not get into for the fear of being blocked and clobbered by Purefoods big and long bigmen.

The San Miguel Corporation (SMC) management started the retooling of San Miguel Beermen and the Barangay Ginebra Kings – two teams which failed to enter the finals of the recently concluded 2009-2010 KC-PBA Philippine Cup. The trade news has it that the San Miguel Beermen sent Mike Cortez to the Air21 Express in exchange for a younger point guard in Alex Cabagnot.

Over the camp at Barangay Ginebra Kings, Doug Kramer and Rich Alvarez were sent in exchange for center Yancy De Ocampo.
