Two-in-one Viernes aiming to be No. 1

Tough challenge: Jeff Alvin Viernes (right) and his team NS Matrix will take on Johor Southern Tigers in their first-leg of the final match today.

PETALING JAYA: It’s not often that a team’s head coach also doubles up as a player but Jeff Alvin Viernes is up to the task in the ongoing Major Basketball League.

The Filipino knows he has a heavy responsibility as both player and coach but he is not putting undue pressure on himself for NS Matrix.
