They have now lost three straight games since a stunning 107-93 win in the series opener.With Romeo and Pringle being blanketed by Alaska defenders, Yeo and their other guards were expected to be there to lighten the load, but unfortunately for GlobalPort, their supporting cast has mostly misfired as well.READ: <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/basketball/news/2016/01/10/beast-mode-turns-move-alaska-win-away-finals-7768">‘Beast’ mode turns on to move Alaska one win away from Finals</a>&quot;Kami dapat &#x27;yun nila Jensen, nila J-Wash,&quot; Yeo told reporters when asked about GlobalPort&#x27;s third or fourth options on offense. &quot;Parang &#x27;di lang kami maka-deliver.&quot;&quot;Talagang ready rin ang Alaska talaga,&quot; he added. &quot;Gini-give up nila &#x27;yung three-points, eh hindi kami maka-deliver. Talagang &#x27;pag nag-miss kami, andun na sila, fast break na. &#x27;Yun ang nangyayari.&quot;In Game 4, GlobalPort made only nine of their 37 attempts from beyond the arc. Yeo was 1-of-3, while Washington was 0-for-3.Yeo said it is clear that the Aces are daring them to shoot from beyond the arc.&quot;Gusto nila matalo sa labas, basta huwag lang inside. Siyempre, mas lower percentage ang three-points para sa kanila,&quot; he noted.&quot;Nag-backfire talaga sa amin, kasi hindi kami maka-shoot talaga,&quot; he rued. &quot;&#x27;Yung game plan nila, pa-shoot-in mo sa labas, eh hindi maka-shoot eh.&quot;&quot;Talagang ilang games na hindi kami maka-shoot,&quot; he added.Yeo also acknowledged that their offense is &quot;very predictable,&quot; with Romeo and Pringle often left to try and break their defenders down one-on-one late in the shot clock. He pointed out, however, that Romeo and Pringle can have more freedom to create if only they were making their shots.&quot;Ganoon naman &#x27;yung game plan, &#x27;di ba? Siyempre hindi ka talaga maka-shoot, so ano magagawa? Kailangan talaga, bottom line, maka-basket kami,&quot; he said.With GlobalPort on the brink of elimination, Yeo is hoping that they can rediscover their shooting touch in time.&quot;Hopefully, sa Game 5, maka-swerte ulit kami, parang nangyari sa Game 1,&quot; he said.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com/">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
