MANILA, Philippines — Former PBA guard Mike Tolomia can't help but soak in the ecstasy of winning The Asian Tournament grand finals over the weekend following the Zamboanga Valientes ' 81-65 rout of the Macau Blackbears in Zamboanga City Coliseum.And why not, considering that the 31-year-old former crack Far Eastern University guard is coming off a PBA career that saw him bounce from one team to another in a roller-coaster seven-year period.
'He told us that if we want to be called champions, we need to play defense,' added Tolomia.And defend the Valientes did. Down by two at the half, Zamboanga tightened its defensive screw after limiting the Macau side to just 24 points in the entire second half.On the other hand, the Valientes exploded for 46 points to turn a tight contest into a ghastly rout en route to ruling the grand finals.
