Russell Cadayona - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines – Habang may nakikitang pag-asa ay hindi panghihinaan ng loob si NLEX head coach Yeng Guiao.

“As long as we have a chance to make the next round, that’s okay with me,” wika ni Guiao. “We will keep our hopes high and we’ll keep the fight to make the next round.”

Sasagupain ng Road Warriors ang Alaska Aces sa isang playoff pa­ra sa No. 8 berth sa quarterfinal round  ng 2019 PBA Philippine Cup ngayong alas-7 ng gabi sa MOA Arena sa Pasay Ci­ty.

Ang mananaig ang ha­harap sa No. 1 Phoenix, may ‘twice-to-beat’ ad­vantage sa quarterfinals.

Sasama naman sa mga sibak nang Meralco, Columbian at Blackwater ang matatalo.

Naitakda ang playoff match ng Road Warriors at Aces ma­karaang ta­lunin ng NorthPort Ba­tang Pier ang No. 3 Ginebra Gin Kings, 100-97, no­ong Miyerkules.

“We are grateful to have this chance in spite of the crazy conference we have had and we look forward to bringing our best,” ani Alaska men­­tor Alex Compton.

Ang nasabing pana­lo ng NorthPort ang nag-upo sa kanila sa No. 7 at ma­kakasagupa ang No. 2 Rain or Shine, may hawak na twice-to-beat’ bonus sa quarterfinals.

Nauna nang pinayukod ng Road Warriors ang Aces, 91-70, sa una ni­lang pagkikita noong Mar­so 13.

Muling sasandalan ng NLEX sina Poy Erram, JR Quiñahan, Bong Galanza, Juami Tiongson at Kenneth Ighalo laban kina JVee Casio, Simon Enciso, Sonny Thoss at Jeron Teng ng Alaska.

“A chance is all we could have hoped for and a chance is all we’ve got,” ani Compton.
