THEY have everything going for them — talent, skills, momentum — and the crowd. But Petro Gazz is unfazed by Creamline’s seemingly overwhelming advantage, basking in the glow of being the underdog in a title series that took a sharp turn the last couple of nights.
“We will prepare hard, we will try our best,” vowed Petro Gazz Jerry Yee, the way they did in repelling the fancied Cignal HD Spikers in the Final Four and spoiling what had long been expected to be a classic showdown of unbeaten teams.
But the Angels had other things in mind and rewrote the Premier Volleyball League Open Conference Finals script, flashing a big fighting heart to battle back from 0-1 down in their best-of-three semis with an epic win in a five-set Game 2 duel and then finishing off the hard-luck HD Spikers in four in sudden death last Monday.
Game 1 of the best-of-three title series is set at 6 tonight at the MOA Arena before an expected record crowd hungry for such action that teams like Creamline and Petro Gazz could straightforwardly provide with their power and class.
