They were defeated in their first game(Global Port). They lost by just 3 points(courtesy of El Granada dagger trey), and they were shooting pretty badly specially from freethrow line(40%). That could have gone either way...... But tonight was different. You can sense the will to win of the team.
"We are naturally a fun loving team but tonight we were about business." a quote Wendell McKines blog.
After the tip off aggressive na agad sila. Their defense was great and controlling the rebound. Rain or shine was playing without their key point guard,Paul Lee, of course advantage na agad sa amin yun. Cyrus hits the first basket with a three point shot and since then tuloy tuloy nang umarangkada ang Alaska. Anchored by McKines aggressive play inside the paint. He owned Reid tonight. Dominated I think is the right term. haha! JVee Casio played great too with 21 points and shooting magnificently from beyond the arc. Make up for his poor perfomance in their debut game in the conference. McKines even compared Casio to Tony Parker.
"He(JVee) can get to the paint at will and also knock down crucial three pointer. He reminds me a lot of Tony Parker." -McKines
Their defense was great, Reid never got his game going. McKines made sure that he will have a hard time guarding Mr.Wensday. Though they turn the ball over quite a lot, balance naman offense nila, McKines dominating the paint while JVee and our shooter getting their outside shots.
Nice win my beloved team Alaska! One game at a time! Let's do this! :)
