Troy Rosario’s Signing Issue
Troy Rosario’s much-anticipated move to Barangay Ginebra hit a roadblock when his former team, Blackwater Bossing, filed an appeal to extend his contract until the end of the 49th PBA season. Rosario had recently become an unrestricted free agent, and many assumed his signing with Ginebra was imminent. However, the delay caused by Blackwater’s appeal meant that Rosario couldn’t join the team in time for the PBA Playoffs, leaving fans disappointed.
Impact on Barangay Ginebra’s Lineup
With Rosario’s delayed entry, Barangay Ginebra was left scrambling to adjust their roster just before the playoffs. Coach Tim Cone had to make a swift decision, leading to the unexpected return of their former team captain, Joe Devance. Despite being retired, Devance rejoined the lineup to fill the critical frontcourt role, providing the team with the experience they desperately needed.
Joe Devance’s Return and Role
Coach Tim Cone, well-acquainted with Devance’s capabilities, expressed immense confidence in his return. Devance is not just an experienced player but also someone who has mastered the triangle offense that Ginebra employs. This understanding makes him an ideal guide for the newer players, ensuring the team’s offensive strategies remain effective and consistent during this crucial phase of the season.
Coach Tim Cone’s Trust in Devance
Coach Tim Cone highlighted that Devance’s return was a blessing for Ginebra. He believes that Devance will contribute immediately due to his familiarity with the team’s system. Having played under Cone for years, Devance’s reintroduction means the team doesn’t need to spend extra time training him, allowing him to be effective from the get-go.
Stabilizing the Triangle Offense
One of the most significant impacts of Devance’s return is his ability to facilitate Ginebra’s trademark triangle offense. His high basketball IQ will benefit key players like Scotty Thompson, Justin Brownlee, and Japet Aguilar, allowing them to thrive within this system. With Devance serving as a stabilizer, Coach Cone is confident that the team’s offense will be smoother, more efficient, and ultimately more competitive in the playoffs.
Conclusion
While the delay in Troy Rosario’s signing was an unexpected setback for Barangay Ginebra, the return of Joe Devance has given the team a much-needed boost. Devance’s experience, knowledge of the game, and mastery of the triangle offense make him an invaluable asset, especially in the high-pressure environment of the PBA Playoffs. Fans will be watching closely to see how Ginebra navigates this challenge and whether Devance’s comeback can lead them to success in the postseason.
