MANILA – After making it three-in-a-row, San Miguel Beermen is not about to end its dominance in the PBA Philippine Cup as it aims to further extend its supremacy in the conference.
Beermen moved closer to a rare four-peat in the All-Filipino conference after disposing of sister team Barangay Ginebra San Miguel Kings 100-94 in Game 5 of their best-of-seven semifinals series on Saturday evening.
San Miguel veteran Arwind Santos said they have the tools to extend their Philippine Cup reign to four years and even further with the availability of Filipino-German center Christian Standhardinger next year.
“Ito iyong goal namin dahil hindi natin masabi kung hanggang kailan lang ang playing years ng isang player,” said the one-time PBA Most Valuable Player awardee. “Kami iyong may chance na makagawa ng history. Bakit hindi namin pagpursigihan at pagtrabahuhan?”
“Naniniwala kami iyong team namin hindi lang four-peat ang kayang kunin. Malay natin, kapag nakuha namin ’to, nandoon na tayo sa five-peat,” he said. “Kasi may darating pa kaming isang player na makakatulong din sa’min.”
Moreover Santos said they will use lessons from their three previous championships in their battle against either Magnolia Hotshots or NLEX Road Warriors in the best-of-seven Finals.
“Siyempre kahit papano ’di natin pwede i-compare iyong three-peat, kung paano namin nakuha iyon, pero hindi namin nakalimutan iyon,” Santos said. “Pwede naming gamitin iyong time na nakuha namin iyong three-peat para makuha itong four-peat na ito.”
He added: “Kailangan na namin alagaan iyong sarili namin, at sana ’wag namin ilagay sa ulo namin iyong mga success namin,” he added. “Kailangan i-share lang namin at lagi lang naming tatandaan na patuloy lang dapat na nakasayad sa lupa ang aming mga paa.”/PN
