00:04Well, when it went into overtime, I just reminded everybody about what we discussed before the game.
00:14And we talked about our dreams. In every moment, the strongest team will win that moment.
00:22So we all dream about playing for the De La Salatineo games, the rivalry.
00:29Those are all of our dreams. And we reminded them also that's also what the other team is dreaming about,
00:36about shining in that moment.
00:38And these guys just showed up and, you know, they believe in what we've prepared for.
00:44We stuck to it, even though it kind of looked weak when they were making their threes, but we stuck
00:51to it.
00:52And these guys just never gave up. And these guys did everything to get the win.
01:00Thank you so much. Mason, you have eight points.
01:02Eight rebounds, two blocks, and one assist. So what can you say about this rivalry game?
01:09Um, you know, just, it's always great to be in this moment. So, I mean, you know, I guess we
01:16really just stuck together.
01:18I mean, I'm really lost for worth because I'm so into the moment, I can say. You know, I'm just
01:25enjoying every moment I have.
01:27So, uh, this is my last year in the UAB, so, uh, yeah.
01:34Thank you to Jaycee.
01:36He's seen 11 points, three rebounds, two steals.
01:39So Jaycee, what do you say about it?
01:43You heard the, the team heard the De La Salatineo in your thoughts.
01:48What do you say about it?
01:49So, whenever we praise De La Salatineo, you know, it's gonna be a big game.
01:53And, yun, uh, during the pregame namin, Coach, uh, mentioned namin, uh, embrace the hardship.
02:00So, yun, the game went to overtime.
02:03During those moments, um, inisip ko lang na, uh, yun, uh, yun, uh,
02:07nags-stay sakin naman eh.
02:08Nags-stay sakin naman eh.
02:08Nags-stay namin ko siya embrace the hardship.
02:10Kasi hindi naman lahat easy.
02:12So, we're happy with the win and thankful to God.
02:14Kasi, gina-indya kami.
02:16Um, marami lapses, marami grouper improvements.
02:18But, yun, we just have to keep working for our next games.
02:22Thank you so much.
02:23Kasi, okay, the floor is open for questions.
02:27The floor is open for questions.
02:29Coach, um, some tough trips to the line, um, in overtime.
02:33Or, siguro, yun, it's been quite some time din for La Salatineo.
02:37Medyo may mga ganong moments na laga, at, from the free throw line.
02:40Siguro, from a coach's standpoint, yun, how are you looking forward to this?
02:42Well, we all know that they don't wanna miss that champ.
02:45Like, that's, that's what they give in for all of these, uh, young players.
02:49But, how you, uh, move forward and, and, you know, thinking about the next play was so important.
02:55You know, we made some lapses, uh, JC mentioned that.
02:58But, what's important was we just move on to the next play.
03:02You know, what, what's important is we know that this is gonna be a dogfight.
03:06This is gonna be something that will never happen again.
03:10You know, so we just have to stay in that moment and just keep enjoying it.
03:14And, you know, we're just, uh, blessed and fortunate to get this win.
03:17But, there's still a lot of basketball to be played.
03:20So, we, the earlier we forget about this game, the better it is for us.
03:24For the two players, you're both veterans.
03:27But, can you just talk about the performance of your rookie, Joaquin.
03:31You know, he just stepped up in big base in this game.
03:34So, you know, as his kuya, what are you, what are your thoughts on, you know, how he plays for
03:38this?
03:39Um, for, coming from me, I think it's his composure that really stands out the most.
03:43Um, how he's able to stay poised under pressure.
03:46Um, and time and time again, he, he tends to deliver for us.
03:49And, uh, uh, as a kuya, I'm kinda, I'm really proud of him.
03:52I'm proud of his efforts.
03:53I'm proud of him, um, uh, not getting emotional when things get rough for him.
03:58And, he just keeps moving forward.
04:00And, um, that's something that I can really say about Joaquin.
04:04Uh, he's very, uh, super humble.
04:06Uh, you know, he's down to earth.
04:07And, uh, yeah, he's a great teammate too.
04:11I'm proud to be that, you know, he's a great teammate,
04:13but, uh, I'm proud to be here on this side.
04:21Not him.
04:26Of course he has a great teammate,
04:26to deliver his advocate for his whole room.
04:26But, uh, this is a great teammate.
04:28He's a great teammate.
04:28And, uh, he's a nice teammate.
