The Alaska Aces–San Miguel Beermen rivalry is between two of the winningest basketball teams in the Philippine Basketball Association. ==Championship meeting== It was in the 1987 PBA Reinforced Conference when the two ballclubs first played in the PBA finals, 〔(San Miguel, Hills start playoffs today ), Manila Standard〕 the Beermen, then reinforced by best import Bobby Parks, prevailed in five games against Alaska, known as Hills Bros. Coffee Kings that season. The rivalry between these two teams, both of which had won the coveted Granslam in 1989 and 1996 respectively, really started during the late 1990s up to the early 2000s. In the 1995 PBA Governors Cup Finals, Alaska Milk, coach by Tim Cone, came back from a 2-3 series deficit to beat the Beermen in seven games to retain the Governor's Cup title and scored their first win over San Miguel in a championship series. The year 1998 saw the Alaska Milkmen winning twice over the San Miguel Beermen in the finals, duplicating their previous finals' triumph over the Beermen in the All-Filipino Cup by winning the last two games in the seven-game series and scoring a 4-2 victory in the Commissioner's Cup. In 1999, the Beermen, under new coach Jong Uichico, finally beat Alaska in the finals of the 1990s era, winning in six games in the 1999 PBA Governors Cup. After 11 years, in the 2009-10 PBA season, Alaska and San Miguel played again in the championship during the 2010 PBA Fiesta Conference, the Alaska Aces scored a 4-2 series victory, to prove their superiority over the San Miguel franchise, winning four of their last five finals meeting. In the 2014–15 PBA Philippine Cup, as the league celebrates its 40th season, the two winningest franchises in league history, battled for the Philippine Cup crown, the Beermen once again, almost blew a 3–2 series lead, but relied on the heroics of finals MVP Arwind Santos in the final 43 seconds of the seventh and deciding game to win, 80–78, and their first Game 7 finals victory over the Alaska Aces.〔(San Miguel Beer, Alaska dish out thriller of a series ), Philstar.com〕 They faced once again in the 2015 Governors' Cup Finals when the Beermen swept the Aces in four games. June Mar Fajardo was awarded as the Finals MVP. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alaska–San Miguel rivalry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
