Overseas training camps highlight off-season for some PBA teams
All 12 teams are all working to snare at least one, if not all, of the three championships up for grabs this coming 41st season of the PBA.
And for some squads, what better way for them to prepare for this season than to get a taste of tougher competition abroad.
Meralco underwent a tough off-season training camp in Las Vegas at Impact Basketball in hopes of improving its standings this season.
Rain or Shine, meanwhile, made a trip down under as it goes up against tough Australian squads in a series of exhibition games.
Blackwater also had its fair share of overseas competition and finished second in the 2015 Seri Mutiara Champions Cup in Malaysia.
For some, an out-of-the-country trip is no longer needed with international teams are already flying in to the country.
Talk ‘N Text will be participating in the upcoming MVP Cup, where it will go up against Gilas Pilipinas, New Zealand’s Wellington Saints, and Chinese Taipei.
GlobalPort, NLEX, and Mahindra also have scheduled games against Asian teams with visiting teams already gearing up for the upcoming 2015 Fiba Asia Championships.
