The Pingris Conundrum

Pingris: The Ultimate X-Factor for B-Meg

With yesterday's high energy display that ultimately led to a much needed victory, the B-Meg Llamados have forced a decided Game 3 in their Quarterfinals showdown versus the Meralco Bolts thanks to one Marc Pingris.

Having played only 11 minutes in Game 1, Pingris was benched early by head coach Tim Cone who opted for a faster line-up to counter Meralco's huge frontline. It was only normal for Cone of course, since the best way to go up against a huge team is to quicken the pace of the game and tire them out. Problem was, Cone's locals didn't provide the energy needed to stay with the electrifying Bolts and their annoying vuvuzuela-toting fans.
