Why Yeng Guiao thinks it's premature for NLEX to think about semis

Although Yeng Guiao is happy to see his team equal its win total in each of the two previous conferences two games into the PBA Governor's Cup, the NLEX head coach doesn't want his players to get ahead of themselves and start thinking semifinals.

NLEX has racked up back-to-back wins over Alaska and Kia for a 2-0 win-loss record, tying their win total in the Philippine Cup and the Commissioner's Cup.

“We feel there is a transformation in the team,” said Guiao, who tweaked his lineup late in the Commissioner’s Cup with the acquisition of Alex Mallari, JR Quinahan and Larry Fonacier.

“We're getting good effort, balanced effort from everybody. We know that we're playing a lot better than the last two conferences.”

Guiao said his team will have to be content piling up victories for now before thinking well ahead into the future.

“If we can get a few more wins, I guess lalakas ang loob namin at mag-ambisyon na mag-semis. Sa ngayon kasi wala pa naman iyon. We play one game at a time,” he said.
