Under the leadership of Yeng Guiao, the E-Painters seek to establish a strong foundation for the new season by defeating his former team.

Guiao has assembled a youthful roster comprising players like Gian Mamuyac, Anton Asistio, Shaun Ildefonso, Andrei Caracut, and Santi Santillan.

Mac Belo, acquired from Meralco in exchange for Norbert Torres, has also been listed in the ROS roster. However, his participation in the game depends on the prompt resolution of contract negotiations. Frankie Lim’s Road Warriors, on the other hand, are determined to bounce back from their 88-93 loss to Blackwater in the pre-season kickoff in Caloocan. Blackwater outperformed NLEX in critical areas such as rebounding (49-51), transition points (24-10), and three-point conversions (10-7). Despite missing the services of Gilas Pilipinas standout Brandon Rosser, NLEX’s Sean Anthony, aged 37, led the team with 18 points and eight rebounds. The team also featured new players, including Dominic Fajardo and Tzaddy Rangel, renowned Cavitex 3×3 stalwarts, and the returning Bong Galanza. The showdown between ROS and NLEX is scheduled to tip-off at 7:30 p.m., following the opening game between Converge and Terrafirma, who are making their PBA on Tour debut.

Prediction

Anticipation runs high as the Elasto Painters and the Road Warriors face each other in this highly-anticipated game. Given their recent performances and the determination to bounce back, NLEX might have a slight edge in this matchup. However, the Elasto Painters, led by Yeng Guiao, are likely to put up an intense fight and make it a close contest. Expect a thrilling game, with both teams leaving no stone unturned to secure a victory.

Conclusion

The stage is set for an intense battle between the Elasto Painters and the Road Warriors as they vie for a victorious start to the pre-season.
