                    [Summary] => Tim Cone has come full circle. Thirteen years ago, he was an inexperienced baseball-loving rookie coach who was dared to turn the Alaska Milkmen around. He believed in this newfangled theory which was written by an old man named Tex Winter back in the 1950’s. It was called the triple post offense. The triangle.


It was hard to get the players to buy into it, at first. They were watching teams like San Miguel Beer win a Grand Slam without having to make those drastic adjustments. They had a strong team, but something was missing.

Una, nilampaso ng mga lokal na team sa PBA ang mga bisitang lumahok sa Mabuhay Cup. Isa-isang nagtumbahan ang Yugoslavia at Taipei. May nakapagkwento sa Pilipino Star na madalian lamang na binuo ang koponan ng Novi Sad, na hindi man lamang sila magka-kampi. Tutoo kaya ito?

The team, which is being handled by multi-titled coach Aric del Rosario, is currently in the thick of preparations for the upcoming conference, which will also serve as a tune-up for the nationals’ stint in the Vietnam Southeast Asian Games in December.

Wala pang talo ang Alaska sa kanilang tatlong asignatura na nagluklok sa kanila sa no. 1 spot, ngunit posible pa itong maagaw ng Ginebra kung mananalo sila ngayon.

The result was an emphatic 93-79 victory for the Tigers in the opener of the Samsung PBA All-Filipino Cup Finals.
