00:38.1
And we have a bunch of preparation talaga last time.
00:42.7
Because we have only 8-9 players in practice.
00:45.9
And majority of them are big man.
00:47.8
So, but no excuses.
00:50.8
And I'm very happy.
00:52.3
Yesterday, I told the players that I missed the practice.
00:58.6
And yesterday, and the day before, talagang sobrang ganda.
01:02.8
So, I think big factor talaga yung preparation.
01:05.6
Big factor yung sa amin.
01:07.2
Kasi yun yung system namin.
01:08.9
Once we have a good practice, I think we have a good chance of winning the game.
01:12.5
Because itong kami kumuha ng well.
01:15.9
Coach, throughout all your games, Agnolio's defensive identity has stayed intact.
01:20.2
You were able to limit all your opponents to less than 100 points.
01:23.7
Tonight, you've done the same.
01:25.7
But you've showed frustration with a...
01:28.6
free throws that you've given up.
01:30.6
33 free throws, to be exact.
01:32.6
Were you still trying to find the balance between being physical and finding this defensive identity again?
01:39.8
Uhm, we, actually, ang dalawang talo namin, we limit our opponents to under 90 points.
01:46.9
But problema namin, hindi namin makaskore.
01:48.9
And also, we talk about three things on the screen.
01:51.9
Transition defense, rebounding, and fouling.
01:56.2
So, yung tatlo na yun.
01:58.6
I think yung isa, hindi namin nagawa because we gave up at least 33 free throws.
02:02.6
So, actually, doon sila nakakahabol eh.
02:04.6
Uhm, yung maganda yung lalo namin but we keep on fouling, penalty, so nakaka-easy 2 points sila.
02:12.6
But, uhm, we just try to dig deep, grind this game.
02:16.6
And I told them this is not an easy game because this team's the number one team in terms of offense.
02:21.6
So, we just need to dig deep and grind on our defense.
02:25.6
So, yun lang yung nangyari.
02:26.6
And, uh, thankful to the guys.
02:29.6
Everybody step up.
02:30.6
Uhm, especially this guy.
02:32.6
Uh, nagkakamalaking pala ito sa amin na nag-step up si Ian on this game.
02:39.6
Thank you, Coach.
02:40.6
Ian, congratulations.
02:41.6
Nag-step up ka with a double-double performance.
02:44.6
32 points and 13 rebounds.
02:47.6
What was it about today?
02:49.6
Do you feel na kaya ka nakaskore dahil masyado na-attract ng mga guards niyo yung depensa?
02:55.6
Was it the mismatches?
02:58.6
Anong nag-fuel na kayo tonight?
03:00.6
Uh, for me, siguro yung mga teammates ko.
03:04.6
Uh, we have each other.
03:06.6
Parang pinag-usapan namin kung narutulong-tulungan kami before this game.
03:11.6
And kailangan natin mag-ready kami today.
03:13.6
Kasi, ka-back against the wall.
03:15.6
Na talo ba ngayon?
03:17.6
So, mahirap naman talo ng pangat mong sunod-sunod.
03:20.6
So, ngayon, alam namin dito sa liga na ito na kahit sino pwede namin talungin.
03:24.6
So, siguro is a wake-up call para sa amin yung...
03:28.6
dalawang sunod na talo namin na ganun yung nangyayari.
03:32.6
So, thank God, nakabawi kami yun kahit kulang kami sa paro.
03:38.6
And lahat naman ay step up to it.
03:40.6
Ian, from being sidelined noong 2023 Governor's Cup at ngayon ay
03:46.6
kita mo na yung rhythm mo na bumabalik.
03:48.6
Mas clear na game ka nga.
03:50.6
Ano ba yung meaning neto para sa iyo?
03:52.6
Gaano ba ka hirap to get back to where you are right now?
03:56.6
Siguro para sa akin yung nangyayari sa akin.
03:59.6
Parang hinisip ko lang na challenge yun para sa akin.
04:03.6
And may dahilan kung bakit nangyayari yun.
04:06.6
And sobrang thankful ako sa lahat na nangyayari.
04:09.6
And after that, nakikita ko naman yung sagutin.
04:11.6
So, thankful lang sa coaching staff, especially po sa tiwala ko yung kaniligin niya sa akin.
04:17.6
Sa mga teammates ko, sila yung nag-leave sa akin na makabalik dito yun.
04:20.6
And siyempre sa practice na ginagawa namin everyday.
04:25.6
Positive lang everyday.
04:28.6
At magiging okay din nila.
04:36.6
Calvin played multiple positions.
04:38.6
And the last time, because we play small.
04:43.6
So, yun. Hindi kami makakagmatch up.
04:45.6
Actually, we missed the three guys.
04:47.6
Those guys are Aries, Rogue, and Calvin.
04:52.6
They play multiple positions.
04:53.6
That's why we have a hard time to match up against Zendex.
04:57.6
Medyo talagang ngayon kami.
04:59.6
At the same time na.
05:00.6
Hindi din kami mag-move sa inside.
05:03.6
And good thing na si Calvin naka-step up na yun.
05:08.6
Nakatulog siya sa team na.
05:10.6
And pwede sana mag-do ito yun.
05:13.6
May test na bang mabuo sa iyo sa practice?
05:17.6
In the coming weeks?
05:18.6
I think Rome will be out for more.
05:24.6
And then Aries will be back on Thursday.
05:26.6
Hopefully, he can play on Sunday.
05:30.6
But the problem now is the minor injuries of Gio and Mike.
05:37.6
So, hopefully, kahit pa paano, maka-recover sila.
05:42.6
Medyo concerned sa amin yun.
05:45.6
May mga injuries sa mga players namin.
05:49.6
Pero mga may key players.
05:53.6
Coach, the past two games kayo may iba yung starting line-up mo?
05:58.6
Nagkubo na si Eliyoko.
06:00.6
Kanina naman si Russell Scott o no.
06:02.6
Is it a way for you to preserve yung mga major players mo ngote?
06:08.6
We want to have mas matapas pa, abang rotation.
06:13.6
So, we have to see Ian also, Paul and Mark.
06:18.6
Although, para magdating ng dulo, at least mayroong namin na energy pack, mayroong namin na lakas pa pala doon.
06:27.4
So, good thing those world players step up.
06:30.9
Russell, even Abu Trotter, Jed Mendoza, Jericho Amesis.
06:36.2
So, yan, tabi na niya tulong-tulong.
06:39.8
Probe, tangin na doon sa punting.
06:43.2
Hindi naman sa ganun, kasi maganda lang din talaga yung specialist si Calvin, kagina yung mga attack niya.
06:48.2
So, ang daming nag-gobo labas, lahat ng mga guards namin, yung mga attack niya.
06:52.3
So, yung time na na-open na talaga ako sa ilalim.
06:55.4
So, kailangan ko talagang ishoot na sa iyo, open na lang eh.
06:58.1
So, ganoon na talaga yung nangyari kanina.
07:00.5
So, lahat na na attack niya, nagkatapasan na sa ilalim.
07:03.2
So, kailangan ko na i-pillage ka.
