00:00 I should be happy with the way our players played today, but it's unfortunate that we just competed.

00:07 I think they...

00:09 Maybe you would agree, Antonello played a great fourth quarter. Yeah.

00:16 But this is something that surprised me. When we were up 6 points ahead of them,

00:26 we got into penalty right away with 7 and a half points.

00:31 When we were up 6...

00:34 So starting the fourth quarter, it was 11 to 2 fouls.

00:40 I think we got 15 free throws and we got 9.

00:44 That's the sad part.

00:46 You're taking away a lot from our players.

00:50 I'd like to credit Antonello for that game.

00:54 He made great adjustments in the fourth quarter.

00:58 Every time I see you write, "Adjustment, adjustment."

01:06 What's the real story? It's hard. Guys, it's hard.

01:11 Even the last attempt of Manzano when we were down 1.

01:16 How was it?

01:18 I know he's not a good free throw shooter, but at least give him a chance.

01:24 Why did he go far?

01:26 For some reason he thinks...

01:28 Coach, regarding Patat and his game,

01:35 somehow you're still in contention, but it's not in your hands that

01:42 ruining the last two games, next will be against NU and then against UE.

01:46 How do you, in a way, still convince the players that there's still a chance?

01:52 Can we still chase them? Can we chase them even if we lose the playoff for the number 4?

01:58 Now I know how you felt.

02:01 You've been complaining that we lost 30 plus free throws against that point.

02:06 But now, down into timing, in the fourth quarter, how many free throws did they get?

02:14 Free throws did they get?

02:18 31.

02:19 In the fourth quarter, only 16?

02:22 All of a sudden it's a 4.

02:24 Give them 15.

02:26 It's hard.

02:28 It's hard.

02:29 Poor kids.

02:30 Right?

02:31 Coach, we're used to that.

02:33 We're used to that.

02:34 Wherever we go, it's the same.

02:36 These kids are giants.

02:40 They're midterms.

02:43 This week, 8.

02:45 This week is midterms.

02:47 They can go to school and take their exams.

02:49 Study, practice, with the kind of schedule that we have.

02:52 At least, give them a fair chance.

02:55 Oh, going back to your question.

03:03 That's a nice part.

03:08 I know they like a 3 to make it to the final 4.

03:12 I don't know how many percent is Malaka'i majority.

03:15 The UAE probably wants it.

03:18 A lot of people want it to go in.

03:20 I told you, in the team after the first half.

03:23 The sad reality is, even before the start of the season, they're already out of the final.

03:29 So it will take a lot.

03:33 It will take more for the guys if you want to get there.

03:36 I like my players because we're doing the fun.

03:39 It's not perfect.

03:41 But if I think, they're developing grit, something that I mentioned last time.

03:46 Every game, you give yourself a chance.

03:49 I hope the others also give them a chance.

03:52 Because they deserve it.

03:54 Not that you give it for free, but you're trying to give it to the others for free.

03:58 It's not fair.

03:59 So at least we have one or two more games.

04:01 Hopefully, we do our part.

04:03 Give us half, maybe harder than today.

04:08 I don't know their... Whatever they want.

04:11 I don't know what they want.

04:12 But we'll do our part.

04:13 That's what we always say.

04:15 We're trying to win two games.

04:17 How confident are you that your players will use this as motivation to win the last two games?

04:23 Especially considering that, you know, that the NL is still not out.

04:27 The roster will be against you in the NLC.

04:30 Well, we go to every game confident of our capabilities.

04:36 We always go to every game.

04:39 It's the same approach.

04:40 Regardless of the situation.

04:45 I want them to still, you know, despite Adrian being ahead,

04:53 I still want them to be confident, play with a lot of positivity.

04:56 Because if they overcome this, they'll be stronger, they'll be tougher.

05:03 They'll be able to give themselves a chance.

05:06 It will be a nice start.

05:07 We changed the narrative.

05:09 We changed the narrative.

05:11 Last year, we did.

05:12 We were able to change the narrative.

05:14 Hopefully, this year.

05:15 Coach, we're playing NU on Wednesday.

05:19 NU, they're fighting to stay in the top two.

05:23 So, what's going to be the motivation for your guys right now?

05:28 Again, it will not be easy.

05:32 We are the NU still wants to be twice the vision.

05:38 We want to get the top five results and get the five wins.

05:41 We're winning the game against us.

05:43 Probably, that's your seven or eight game.

05:46 We'll be giving it our best when we still have a chance.

05:52 And we are still the line of kick.

05:57 That very small, that slim chance should be enough motivation for our team.

06:05 Not easy because things we cannot control makes it a lot harder.

06:15 But that small win though, we still have a chance.
