00:00I think they should be doing it!
00:15It is the end of the day!
00:16I know what I'm saying!
00:16I'm sorry!
00:17I think I can see them!
00:17I think I'll be in the end of the day!
00:19I'm sorry!
00:24I'm sorry!
00:25I'll be in the end of the day!
00:26I'm sorry!
00:27I'm sorry!
00:52I think we reminded the players that we should be vigilant because they're the main
00:57scorers were not able to score in the first half. So sabi yung sabi ng mga players that those
01:03view and make sure that those key players of Adamson won't be able to get their points.
01:08Thank you so much to Luis. 14 points including 12 in the first half, 7 rebounds. So yun nga,
01:26sa pananagos, especially you're fighting for slot in an extra of your pockets.
01:33I think this is, you know, before this game, you all talked about that this is really the most important
01:40game for us.
01:42And I'm glad that you all came out with a lot of energy today.
01:47You know, I came from the last home. It's nice to hear you get back on the home, really excited.
01:55And this is a great game and a great game for us to put it coming into the next game.
02:02Thank you so much Luis.
02:04To Jacob, 15 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 assists.
02:08So what can you say about your fitness right now as we head towards the conclusion of the season?
02:16Yes, I just met you on the top of my new injury earlier. But thanks to Coach Jello and the
02:23other speakers.
02:25And Coach says I'm back at 100%. I was able to finish today's game, thank God.
02:31And yeah, we're gonna get, not only just me, but we're gonna get our guys ready for a big battle
02:37next week against UP.
02:39Thank you. Thank you so much, Pico. Okay, the glory is all done for a crunch.
02:42Coach, especially after the loss, which is very much a winnable game against NU.
02:50Is this the kind, is this how you envision the team to bounce back and gain some time away from
02:55getting into pretty much a big stretch against the two of the top?
02:59Yeah. The loss against NU, of course, really a big wake-up call for us. We practice hard these prior
03:07days.
03:08And yeah, this is gonna be like a good preparation for going to the UP game and to FAU game.
03:15We are just glad that it's still in our hands, whether we can make it to the final quarter or
03:22not.
03:24Lise, Guru, this is popular race games instead of Asian games. And especially now on this crucial stretch,
03:31how important is it that you can make it to the top of your team here and to the top
03:36of your team?
03:38Yeah, I think I struggled to pass up against offensively, but I want to do work with other teams to
03:49play in front defensively.
03:52And, uh, and, uh, development goals, especially, uh, uh, this game. And, uh, that's just what happened.
03:59And, uh, in, uh, in defense, going to each, uh, offense. And, uh, yeah, this is, uh, a great, uh,
04:04confidence booster.
04:06I thought you said, uh, to remind myself to be with me and always, uh, prioritize the defensive mindset, uh,
04:13every game.
04:14Uh, I guess, uh, yeah, that's what, uh, Articumar needs from me.
04:22Question to Jacob, you were able to record four skills for tonight.
04:26Um, just, um, what are the defensive reminders for you and the coach, uh, that you were able to display,
04:31uh, battling against the two of Monte Bono?
04:36Well, we just wanted to disrupt them, actually. And, uh, those steals I credit to the, my other teammates who
04:43were on the court.
04:43They were, it was, well, it was their job to, you know, pressure them and make those passes.
04:49And, uh, I've been studying that our defensive, um, assignments as well during practices.
04:56And, uh, and I was just ready to read, uh, those passes. But, uh, then again, credit to my teammates
05:02who were, was able to disrupt them.
05:04I was disabled. I was just the one who was finishing for them.
05:08So, uh, I
