Aminado si Meralco coach Norman Black na wala siyang ideya kung ano ang dapat asahan kay Tony Bishop sa aktuwal na laro sa PBA.
Naobliga naman si Bishop na humataw at hindi binigo ang Bolts na pangunahan ang lopsided 98-77 win laban sa winless Blackwater sa PBA Governors Cup Huwebes sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.
"Tony's been here just a couple of weeks and this is the first game he's played (in the PBA) since he's been here so I also have to find out exactly how he was gonna play tonight because the only thing I've seen is in practice," balita ni Black.
'Yung mga pangamba ay agad naisantabi nang inisyal na tinungkab ni Bishop ang 28 points at 13 rebounds daan para igawad sa Bolts ang swabeng linya sa simula na hangad ni Black sa kanyang alipores.
"It's exactly what we hoped for, what we wanted. We wanted to get off to a great start in this conference and try to catch up with the teams which have already played a lot of games," sambit ni Black.
