UAAP Media.</figcaption></figure></div> MANILA, Philippines -- Rookie Matty Erolon maximized every second of his playing time for Adamson University on Tuesday.Erolon was on the court for just 12 seconds but finished with five points -- including the game-winning three-pointer against Far Eastern University (FEU). He drilled the go-ahead shot with three seconds to go off a pass from veteran point guard Jerom Lastimosa, as the Falcons seized a 64-63 triumph.&quot;&#x27;Di po ako pinawisan sa laro,&quot; Erolon said afterward. &quot;Pero grabe &#x27;yung tiwala po niya [Coach Nash Racela] sa akin.&quot;<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/04/12/22/uaap-adamson-snaps-5-game-slide-with-win-vs-feu">GAME RECAP: Adamson snaps 5-game slide with win vs. FEU</a></li></ul>Erolon made two of the three shots he took in the ball game. Entering Tuesday&#x27;s contest, he was averaging just four minutes per game and was 1-of-6 from long distance for Season 84.He gave full credit to Lastimosa for his game-winning basket.&quot;&#x27;Di ko naman magagawa &#x27;yun kung &#x27;di dahil kay Jerom,&quot; Erolon said. &quot;Umatake po siya, nag-penetrate para makakuha ng depensa. Tapos para malibre din po ako.&quot;Lastimosa drove to the teeth of the FEU defense, drawing virtually all Tamaraws to him before kicking out to the wide-open Erolon for the game-winner. The rookie showed no hesitation before letting the shot fly.&quot;Grabe po &#x27;yung tiwala ni Coach Nash,&quot; Erolon also said. &quot;Sa 10 seconds na po &#x27;yun, parang ni-ready ko lang po &#x27;yung sarili ko.&quot;Racela, whose squad had dropped five straight games before Tuesday&#x27;s breakthrough, said: &quot;Ang sinasabi ni Matt, mas pinawisan pa daw ako kesa sa kanya.&quot;But the coach said they had no qualms about sending Erolon in the game at such a crucial moment.&quot;Si Matt is really capable of making that shot. Talaga namin siya nilagay doon, to be able to have a good look. He actually scored five points in 10 seconds ata. Ten seconds lang siya naglaro, but he made two good plays. He gave us two good plays,&quot; said Racela.Adamson&#x27;s win against the Tamaraws is only their second of UAAP Season 84, giving them a 2-6 win-loss record. It also gave them a measure of redemption for last week&#x27;s 66-65 heartbreaker against the same team, where they gave up a game-winning triple to RJ Abarrientos in the closing seconds.
