Kumbaga yung flow ng system namin, ‘dun nang galing yung assists.”</p><p>“Hindi ako magkaka 14 assists kung ‘di nila nashoot yun, so thankful ako sa teammates ko. Tsinaga namin yung game and ayon, yung flow lang ng offense namin is sobrang ganda,” he added.</p><p>DLSU assistant coach Gian Nazario, on the other hand, praised Quiambao, saying that this was a result of his continuous efforts to improve and contribute to La Salle.</p><p>“I think it&#x27;s the work that Kevin puts in. The trust that he has with his teammates and the trust that his teammates have sa kanya, hindi mo siya masusukat kasi during practices. </p><p>“We see him and we&#x27;re not surprised na nangyayari yun during the game, so the credit really goes to him because of the work that he puts in. Just like what Kevin said, hindi yan mangyayari if it weren&#x27;t for the trust that his teammates have for him.”</p><p>But for Quiambao, this performance, while record-setting, is still far from what he really wants to deliver for the Green Archers as they hope to bring back the crown to Taft Avenue.</p><p>“Sobrang happy ako na nakuha ko yung achievement, pero ‘di pa dito natatapos ‘yun. Focus [na] kami sa next [game].”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=2857718" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div>

To say that Kevin Quiambao’s 17-point, 14-assist, 11-board game earlier today was impressive is an understatement.
