The Road Warriors will take on Blackwater in the PBA Commissioner’s Cup on Friday at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, still being led by chief deputy Tierra, Adonis armed with some specific orders from Lim. The Road Warriors are seeking for their second consecutive victory.
Despite the fact that FRANKIE Lim’s return to active coaching for NLEX is still pending, he hasn’t been dormant.
It starts at 3 p.m.
On opening day last Wednesday, when NLEX began its post-Yeng Guiao season with a victory against its previous coach and Rain or Shine, Tierra, who took control while Lim’s takeover was put on hold, said, “Siyempre, magiging konsepto ng game against them konsepto na ni coach Frankie.”
In addition, Lim, who was just formally hired last Tuesday, was scheduled to serve a one-game ban that was handed down to him during his last professional league tenure in 2015 versus Meralco. But owing to the danger of Typhoon Karding, the doubleheader that day was postponed.

Tierra is now in charge instead of Lim, who has still been in charge of the team’s sessions for the previous week and has made it clear what he wants.
“If we got the numbers, I think it will be fast-paced and takbuhan ang kalaban. If not, we must switch it up since we have many halfcourt sets “Tierra remarked. “It depends on the kalaban whether you want to fight man-to-man or in a zone. Players are being picked up with great care.”
A well-thought-out strategy and good execution are essential when playing Blackwater, who last Saturday thrashed Phoenix 97-85 after taking a beating from visitor team Bay Area earlier in the day (87-133).
The Bossing had six players score in double digits, including newly acquired Troy Rosario and Gab Banal, but coach Ariel Vanguardia said his team still has a lot of work to do. He said, “We’re still a work in progress.
Tierra Agreed
NLEX should expect a difficult evening.
“Mabigat na kalaban ang Blackwater,” he said. “Siguro, ‘yung unang talo nila parang nagging eake-up call sa kanila kaya maganda inilaro nila last time, against Phoenix.”
The battle between the respective imports for the two sides could provide for an intriguing side story to the game.
Earl Clark had a strong debut for NLEX with 26 points, 14 rebounds, six blocks, four assists, and the same number of steals. Carl Krutwig performed much better against the Fuel Masters than he did in his 11-point, 12-rebound debut against the Dragons, scoring 17 points, 16 rebounds, and seven assists. (NC)
