An even
more physical game three of the
semifinals between Rain or Shine
and San Mig Coffee on Christmas
day. That’s what James Yap is
expecting as the Mixers tied
their best-of-seven semifinals
series to one apiece Friday night
with a 106-82 blowout of the
Elastopainters.
“Alam naman natin ang Rain or
Shine, hindi basta-bastang team,
babalik at babalik ‘yon,” said
Yap, who torched Rain or Shine
with 34 points, including seven
treys.
“It’s going to be a more
physical game in game three.
Kailangan mapantayan ‘yong
physical play,” added Yap.
It was Yap’s highest output in
almost two years since dropping
36 back in the semifinals game
one against Talk N’ Text of the
2010 PBA Philippine Cup. The ruggedness and physicality
were huge factors in Friday’s
game.
Elastopainters’ head coach Yeng
Guiao even got ejected in the
third quarter for continuous
complaining, believing that the
referees were not calling it fair
when it comes to contacts.
“I guess we just got frustrated
with the calls and we felt that
they were allowing too much
contact against us while we
couldn’t defend them with the
same amount of contact they were giving us, said Guiao.
“’Yon ang pinag-umpisahan ng
lahat.” While Guiao figures out how to
effectively keep the Mixers in
check, Yap knows they just have
to keep up with their defense
that worked so well in game two.
Paul Lee, the most consistent
scoring for Rain or Shine, was
held to just seven points while
no other player from their side
contributed more than 12.
“We also need to be consistent
on our defense kasi marami
silang shooters,” Yap said.
