Damn, what a great game by Converge giving San Miguel Beermen their first defeat in this conference. It just shows that Converge's young guns + their import is really in good chemistry right now and can match with the top teams. That was all thanks to the strict guidance of Coach Adin Ayo who I think will be one of the most notable coaches in the league if he will keep his consistency and is active.
I know others will say it's just eliminations and like what happened the last conference, Converge fell short in the playoffs even playing well in the eliminations. But still, it's a good sign that Converge is always trying to keep their performance level high even against top teams in the league.
I said it in the past and will say it again. As long as SMC and MVP will not farm players in this team, this is a team to be reckoned with. Watch out for them. I just hope that they will not be the same as other independent teams out there who are becoming a farm teams of these 2 giants.
I don't see this as a bad thing for the SMB, but I'm a bit curious on why Fajardo's performance in Governor's Cup is way below on his averages. I mean in his 5 games, he averaged only 11.8 points, and with those 5 games, he only scored single digits on 2 games. He's averages aren't the usual ones that we are seeing in different conferences.
Is there any problem with him? The changing of coaches might have an effect towards the playstyle of SMB since when they're coach is Coach Leo, he always wanted Fajardo to be the focal person of offense. New coach comes new adjustments to the team isn't it?
Well, if that's how Coach Gallent want to run the team then there's nothing wrong as long as they're winning.
