00:00On the other side of the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup Quarterfinals,
00:05the TNT Tropang Giga with a twice-to-beat advantage in the playoffs is on its way.
00:12The guest team of Hong Kong Eastern will play in Ninoy Aquino Stadium later tonight.
00:17Here's our teammate, Daryl Aclares.
00:22The TNT Tropang Giga will open their campaign in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup playoffs
00:29in front of the guest team of Hong Kong Eastern.
00:32The TNT Tropang Giga will play in the Eastern Stadium in front of the TNT Tropang Giga in the eliminations of December.
00:38Hong Kong will remember the TNT Tropang Giga in the score of 105-84.
00:43That's why in the playoffs, the TNT Tropang Giga will have a twice-to-beat advantage
00:48given by TNT Head Coach, Chot Reyes, that they should not be a campante.
00:53We're not thinking, the strategies, we're not thinking about twice-to-beat.
00:57We're just thinking of how we're going to defend tomorrow against a very strong team like Eastern.
01:04The key players of the Tropang Giga, Jason Castro and Calvin Oftana,
01:10have added pressure, especially Eastern, to face them in the quarterfinals.
01:15In spite of this, they will use the motivation of their defeat last year to recover from Hong Kong.
01:23The pressure is always there, but it's up to us how we overcome it.
01:28I trust my teammates.
01:30For me, I believe in each of us that we can jump even if we lose in the eliminations.
01:35If you can see, in the first game of the eliminations, they were our opponent, and then we lost.
01:41We lost, so maybe it's our motivation to recover from them at the same time.
01:49This is the quarterfinals.
01:52Let's not think that we're twice-to-beat.
01:55Let's think that this is a do-or-die game.
01:58If TNT wins against Eastern later, they will enter the semifinals,
02:02and the best-of-three series will be decided in the semifinals.
02:06The best-of-three series will be decided between Converge, Fiber X-ers, and Rain or Shine Elasto Painters.
02:10If TNT and Eastern wins, they will enter the semifinals.
02:14They will enter the semifinals on Saturday, February 8 at Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
