Merlco renewed its competition with Barangay Ginebra on Friday, perhaps more despair in securing the quarter -finals of the PBA Philippine Cup and momentum heading to his latest international campaign.
“We really wanted to make sure that our destiny is in our hands and we did not want to leave it to another person,” said Chris News, after holding the Lilbelino beats over 82-73 over the kings in Smart Aranita Colicia.
The victory came after an old battle, emotionally charged between the two teams, with the screws through their defensive position that supported a timely crime led by newsome, Chris Banchero, Cliff Hodge and Brandon Bates.
She allowed MERALCO to secure the quarter-finals by ending the exclusion in 6-5, and won the last three matches after losing five of five years old and has a tight schedule, which is a date at the last minute as a representative of the PBA in the BCL.
“It was the classic Ginebra-MARILCO game,” said newsome. “But for us, it comes to reaching our lowest levels. We already have the lowest deep levels in this conference and we just want to overcome these and battle all the way. So we are just sticking to each other and playing the team’s basketball, whether we won or lost.”
What will be known to the screws that the screws will know in the qualifiers in time, but the focus is now moving to BCL in Dubai, where they will look to make a competitive offer against a difficult field consisting of the best clubs in Asia.
The next day to win, the bolts were drawn in the group B with the B.LAGUE UTSUNOMIEA Brex and Shabab Mathbab from the United Arab Emirates host on June 7 to June 13. The eight field will qualify the centers in nine teams, for three groups to the quarter -finals.
Coach Luigi Trillo said that the team ends the squad, including imports that they are looking to sign, along with the qualified local population to play in the Continental Club Championship, which Mirliko hopes to perform her experience in playing in the East Asian League in the past two years.
“I think it will be difficult to go out there to compete at the high level, at the international level, then return [to the PBA]”[But] I [also] I think it will be useful for us because these will be high -quality games.
He added: “But I think it is an interesting scenario because our chemistry is now good and we are playing well now.”
‘Clasico Up’
Trillo praised the way the screws kept in their presence amid the frustration of both teams in terms of residency. It was not the case for the Genebra Tim Kun coach, who was slandered by two technical mistakes to enter the court twice to confirm his point of view. At one point before being expelled, he criticized his preservative before he went to the team’s birth.
The winning Genbra series was eliminated with three games, which already faced some challenges against the lower teams, and the team decreased to 5-3 in another large derby against Magnolia in the last chapter of the so-called “Manila Classico”.
Magnolia will come to the confrontation from 7:30 pm, which was appointed to the new addition procession, William Navarro, which was captured in a trade with Northport last Tuesday, which could enhance Hotshots’s chances of improving its 7-1 record and possibly ending their long wait for a championship.
