Magnolia ‘di dapat mahiya kahit natalo sa title series

Andrew Dimasalang - Pang-masa

MANILA, Philippines — Walang dapat ikahi­ya ang Magnolia kahit kina­pos sa pagsilat sa San Mi­guel sa Game Seven ng 2019 PBA Philippine Cup Final.

Matapos kasing luma­mang ng hanggang 17 puntos sa simula, tumirik ang Hotshots sa dulo patungo sa masakit na 71-72 kabiguan sa Beermen.

Nagkaroon ng ma­ra­ming tsansa ang Magnolia upang maagaw ang kampeonato sa SMB su­balit hindi lang talaga pumabor sa kanila ang tad­hana.

“It’s the breaks of the game. We managed to stay close and had a chance in the end. The good thing there is we had a chance. We had op­portunities to win the ballgame. But you know, its the breaks of the game,” ani coach Chito Vic­tolero.

“Credits also to SMB. They worked hard for this game,” dagdag nito.

Hindi naman ibig sa­bihin ng pagkatalo ay da­pat yumukod na ang Mag­nolia lalo’t nalagpa­san nila ang ekspektas­yon ng karamihan lalo na ng kanilang mga kriti­ko na hindi inakalang ma­kakapu­wersa sila ng Game Seven.

“Lahat wala namang na­niniwala na makaka-abot kami sa Game Se­ven. Some of you are thinking that this is a sweep, 4-1, or maybe 4-2. But you know, on our circle, sa amin, kami naniniwala kami na we can do it. That’s our battlecry: believe,” aniya.

“Pagka-tiningnan mo ‘yung conference namin, it was magnificent. So there’s nothing to be ashamed of,” dagdag pa nito.

Dahil dito, tiwala si Vic­tolero na mas mala­kas, mas matibay, mas ma­utak at mas magaling na Hotshots ang babalik sa 2019 PBA Commissioner’s Cup.
