San Miguel Beermen coach Jorge Gallent stressed that their goal was not to sweep, but to focus on getting the job done. The Beermen will continue their pursuit of a semi-final berth against struggling Converge in the PBA Governor’s Cup quarter-finals on Monday at the Ninoy Aquino Coliseum.
“I believe they will fight back strongly. We have to stay focused and energetic and not think about a 2-0 lead. We’ve got to treat it like it’s life and death, avoid letting up and play for 48 minutes, “said Gallent.
The game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m., and Gallent believes the focus is on the game in front of him, rather than looking further ahead. Because Converge, he felt, was a team not to be taken lightly.
“Converge is a strong team with a good foreign recruit. We were better in the last six minutes and that was important; Our calm is always there in the critical moments. We have to stick to our areas of strength, “added Gallent.
