MANILA, Philippines – For the PBA Commissioner’s Cup, which will take place on Sunday at the Ynares Center in Antipolo, Converge adjusts its goals a little higher now that they have already been assured of a quarterfinals spot. However, they should be prepared enough to handle what could be a significant Blackwater surprise.

The FiberXers would be able to secure a top two berth and their win-once advantage against a lower-ranked team in the following round if they were to win their second consecutive game. This would bring their record to 8-3 and bring them tantalizingly close to taking the top two spots.

Converge should be able to secure the championship with a victory over Blackwater and also against San Miguel Beer on Friday. This is the primary reason why acting head coach Franco Atienza encourages his team to continue putting in the necessary amount of work.

Atienza highlighted the significance of a great finish by concentrating on the team’s final two games, beginning with their encounter with Blackwater. He said that if they didn’t end the season with a bang, all of their hard work in getting seven victories would be for nothing. Atienza also emphasized the team’s aim to build strong momentum before the playoffs. Their objective is to defeat Blackwater before focusing on the difficulty presented by San Miguel. In order to make sure that their season-long efforts are not in vain, the team is committed to keeping up their rhythm and boosting their confidence as they get ready for the next round of competition.

The Bossing, for their part, are only trying to come into a tie for the eighth and last quarterfinals position if they are able to improve their present record of 2-7.

The reactivation of Sedrick Barefield and RK Ilagan is apparently something that Blackwater is prepared to do in order to improve its chances.

Ilagan has been unable to participate in the most recent three games owing to a leg ailment, and Barefield has been unable to play in the most recent four games due to plantar fasciitis. The previous second-round pick has played in four games, and he has averaged 20.75 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in those games. He was selected with the second overall pick.

For Bossing import George King, who leads the league in scoring but has received little assistance from his colleagues, this should come as wonderful news. King has been leading the league in scoring.

Last Wednesday, Blackwater defeated Terrafirma by a score of 96-86. This was a rare instance in which players such as Justin Chua, Mike Ayonayon, and Jaydee Tungcab did offer King with enough support.

The King continues to be Atienza’s primary preoccupation. His explanation was, “Scoring machine, eh,” and he also mentioned that the sharpshooter, who was 31 years old, should also be able to counteract the height advantage that his team had.

At the beginning of their match, Atienza acknowledged both the difficulties and the opportunities that his squad will confront. He mentioned that even though their team has a height advantage, they would have a difficult time competing against Blackwater’s import, George King, who plays guard. King is a basketball player. In light of King’s exceptional abilities, the absence of an appropriate defensive matchup presents a potential obstacle that could be overcome. In the event that one of their larger guys is unable to take on the responsibility, Atienza said that King may take advantage of his speed advantage.

In addition, Atienza emphasized King’s remarkable performance, which included an average of seven attempts from the four-point line and an average of two of those efforts being successful. Concerns were voiced by him over the possible impact that King may have if he would find his rhythm and hit as many as five four-point shots simultaneously. Because of this threat, it is more important to take a strategic strategy.

Atienza underlined the importance of rigorous preparation in order to address these issues. They emphasized the necessity to maintain the same level of work and focus that they have consistently devoted to prior games. They want to show that they are capable of competing effectively and winning. Atienza emphasized the significance of meticulously preparing for Blackwater, making certain that his team is prepared to deal with the one-of-a-kind obstacles that would be provided by their adversaries and to make the most of their own capabilities within the competition.
