Let's see how Austria will setup a plan to stopped Jones while not leaving the TNT's outside shooters open.
The SMB Beermen will have to pick their poison as they say. They can't contain Jones while not leaving an outside shooter open. For me, i would rather let Jones scores and not involving his teammates and tire him out. Even if Jones will score 50, it is not an assurance that they would win the game. Bring the physicality of the PBA to Jones to frustrate him so he could not focus on the game but also the Beermen offensive guys should also step up, they should pound the ball down low where they have the advantage.
Not a good strategy. Allowing Jones to just score and expect him that his energy will be drained is a risk. This import can play for over 40 minutes a game.
Even they will put pressure on the defense, TNT will surely do the same. The best thing to do for SMB is to give out all of their cards at any cost.
Play like Game 7. Play like a Do-Or-Die. Play as if they will lose, they will be traded. That mindset will push them. However, TNT will also have a mindset like that.
