00:00.0
We had 6,000 double figures and once we found that identity, we were able to get back on track.
00:12.1
Coach, how does that change strategy and energy as a coach when you see your team with an 18-point lead but then slipping away?
00:20.5
Human nature says that you get a little comfortable when you have a lead.
00:26.1
It happens to almost every single team and we're no different.
00:31.7
It happened to us and once we were able to grasp that, we were falling into that little hole.
00:37.4
We got out of it and got back to where we were.
00:42.2
Jason, impressive performance all throughout the game.
00:45.2
How did you condition your mind tonight and how did that play out for you?
00:52.6
Just all of my teammates.
00:53.7
I know everybody saw the points.
00:56.1
When we lost that lead, I think that was my fault.
00:59.5
The cameras won't see it but I get emotional sometimes.
01:01.8
I have bad body language.
01:02.8
I wasn't being the best leader so we lost the lead.
01:06.1
Luckily, our teammates picked up.
01:07.4
JJ did a great job.
01:08.5
Tuffin, Chu, Richie.
01:11.7
A lot of people see the points but they were out of the play.
01:14.6
There's a lot of guys on the team doing things that aren't on the stat.
01:17.1
Those are the things that people need to help make things easier.
01:20.9
Jason, you mentioned Richie Rivero.
01:23.1
We just want to hear your thoughts on how he performed tonight.
01:26.1
And how he erupted in the third.
01:29.0
Richie's great.
01:30.0
I think he has one of the nicest year-old steps I've ever seen.
01:33.0
And he looks good when he's doing it.
01:35.0
He looked very good when he's doing it.
01:42.2
We now open the floor for questions from our friends from the rest.
01:56.1
Coach, how important is it that Sunday will be a time for us to focus on ourselves and try to be the best Phoenix team that we can be?
02:15.4
When it comes time to face Magnolia, we know that they're a very, very good defensive team.
02:21.6
They bring a lot of energy.
02:23.8
They're deep at every single position.
02:26.1
But right now, the focus is still on us and trying to be the best Phoenix team that we can be.
02:32.1
Coach, and for Jason as well, you're doing an overseas conference in 10 minutes.
02:42.1
Have you been in the process of moving on from that or staying in the adjustment period of the G3?
02:53.1
That process is going to be ongoing.
02:56.1
Imagine having the best in the board of the conference playing almost 48 minutes a night.
03:00.1
And then you've got to fill those 48 minutes with guys that weren't getting a ton of minutes.
03:06.1
So guys are still finding their way, finding their role on the team.
03:09.1
And you see that work right now with Larry, with, I mean, even Roel Soyuz down on the court.
03:19.1
La Lata really played well tonight.
03:23.1
And two days, huge for us.
03:26.1
So all of those roles are being filled and being identified as we speak.
03:33.1
And it's still going to be a work in progress.
03:35.1
But we're on our way to getting to where we want to be.
03:39.1
Two questions.
03:41.1
Well, really some.
03:45.1
I think it all starts in practice.
03:47.1
Just working hard, putting the work in.
03:49.1
And if we do what we need to do in practice, it's dangerous.
03:51.1
And you shouldn't be pressured about it.
03:56.1
Coach, can we just have an update on Tyler?
04:03.1
Man, I just let the trainers focus on Tyler.
04:07.1
And Tyler will come back as soon as he's ready.
04:09.1
Nobody's going to rush Tyler to come back earlier than he should.
04:14.1
Not my favorite.
04:15.1
No, I don't have the time to think about that.
04:17.1
I'm sorry.
04:18.1
Good coaching.
04:24.1
Good.
04:25.1
Despite your struggles, you're still not far behind.
04:29.1
There's a new light race in the middle.
04:31.1
So I do still like your chances of progressing.
04:36.1
No matter what our record is, we're always going to try our best.
04:40.1
I think it's best just to focus on the moment right now.
04:43.1
Not even looking at the football league game.
04:44.1
Going into tomorrow's practice and having the best practice that we can have.
04:47.1
Recovering and fixing our mistakes so we can get to work.
04:50.1
Thank you.
04:52.1
Thank you.
04:55.1
We're done.
04:56.1
Good luck.
05:02.1
Coach, during your time out,
05:04.1
when Converge tried to return and they went around.
05:12.1
What was your instruction given to your players when you called for a timeout?
05:16.1
During our timeout, we keep it positive.
05:20.1
We let them know that they are one team and that they have to work together.
05:24.1
has a bunch of hardworking,
05:26.1
talented players and
05:27.3
the only way to beat them is to beat them
05:29.9
as a team. And that's what the instruction
05:32.0
was. Play as a team.
05:33.5
Are you pretty confident that your
05:35.7
voice, even when
05:37.1
despite of the tremendous
05:39.3
pressure
05:40.2
injected by your
05:43.2
by your sisters?
05:46.2
I'm almost confident.
05:47.6
I got this guy next to me right here.
05:49.5
How can I not be confident?
05:52.5
What
05:53.0
can you say
05:54.2
after losing four games
05:57.5
and this is the second
05:59.6
game, the second game of your team?
06:02.1
So is this
06:02.7
a good sign that
06:05.4
Phoenix will
06:07.5
advance into the next round?
06:10.1
I don't make predictions
06:11.4
but
06:12.0
like what Jay Perk said,
06:15.6
live in the moment and
06:17.3
just play the play.
06:19.3
Again, we're not focusing on
06:20.8
the playoffs yet. We're just
06:22.8
focusing on being the best Phoenix
06:24.3
fieldmaster team that we can be.
06:25.8
Thank you so much.
