Darating ang tamang panahon para kay Compton
MANILA, Philippines – Malaki ang paniniwala ni NU coach Eric Altamirano na mananalo si Alex Compton ng inaasam niyang PBA championship matapos akayin ang Alaska sa tatlong PBA Finals sa huling limang komperensya.
At mahirap itong gawin sa professional league.
Higit pa sa basketball ang pagkakaibigan nina Altamirano at Compton.
“Right now, Alex is taking a break in a beach resort with his family,” sabi ni Altamirano na naging coach ng Purefoods, Mobiline at Coca-Cola sa PBA.
“He told me he hasn’t replied to any requests for interviews from media. But if you know Alex, he’ll answer every single text even-tually. We haven’t really talked about the Finals. I wasn’t able to ask him about why he called three consecutive mandatory timeouts to start Game 7. But my thinking is he did it to give San Miguel, particularly JuneMar (Fajardo), less time to rest during the game. It was a strategic move. Did it backfire? I can’t say for sure. There were other factors that determined the outcome of the game,” dagdag pa nito.
Biniro ni Compton si Altamirano sa pagsasabing kagaya ng San Miguel ay bahagi na rin siya ng PBA history.
Ang Beermen ang naging unang koponan sa pro basketball na nakabangon mula sa 0-3 deficit para ipanalo ang best-of-7 championship series laban sa Alaska. Sinabi naman ni Compton na siya ang unang coach na napakawalan ang best-of-7 series matapos angkinin ang malaking 3-0 kalama-ngan sa serye.
“I told Alex his time will come,” wika ni Altamirano.
