D’NAVIGATORS and Criss Cross test their mettle in a key duel of unbeaten teams, with the former eyeing the solo lead in the Spikers’ Turf Open Conference and the latter seeking a share of the lead at the Paco Arena in Manila today, Wednesday.
Tied with the defending champion Cignal HD Spikers for the lead with four consecutive wins, the D’Navigators are primed to edge ahead in the competition as they take on the King Crunchers at 6 p.m. in a match that promises a stirring mix of styles and brute force.
Francis Saura, the recent Spikers’ Turf Player of the Week awardee, will again lead the charge for the D’Navigators, who are putting emphasis on speed and net defense against the high-octane game of their rivals.
“Need pa naming bilisan saka more on blocking pa, kasi malakas sa opensa ang kalaban,” said D’Navigators coach Boyet Delmoro.
Led by Jude Garcia, the King Crunchers are eager to maintain their impressive offensive momentum that has powered them to three straight victories in the league organized by Sports Vision.
“Maximize lang kung ano ‘yung magandang ginagawa namin. ‘Yung maliliit na bagay importante talaga kasi kailangan simple things doon mag-uumpisa ‘yung magandang tinatakbo ng team. Kailangan one game at a time,” said Garcia.
