MANILA, Philippines -- Jeff Napa knows that many players have set their sights on breaking the UAAP three-point shooting record that he shares with the legendary Allan Caidic.In 2002, Napa -- then starring for National University (NU) -- made 10 of 13 three-pointers in a game against Adamson University. He finished with <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/10/04/17/jeff-napa-uaaps-last-40-point-scorer-congratulates-ues-pasaol">43 points</a>, and they beat the Soaring Falcons, 98-92. He tied record set by Caidic, who also hit 10 triples in 1985 while playing for University of the East (UE).Some players have come close to the record since then. Most recently, Marvin Lee of University of Santo Tomas put up eight three-pointers in a 79-68 win over UE in the second round of UAAP Season 81. Within Napa&#x27;s own camp -- he currently serves as a team consultant for the NU Bulldogs aside from being the head coach of Colegio de San Juan de Letran -- there is a player who is also itching to break his record. Rookie John Lloyd Clemente has twice knocked down five three-pointers in a game this season, and has made no secret of his desire to shatter his old coach&#x27;s mark.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://sports.abs-cbn.com/uaap/news/2018/11/11/ateneo-powered-la-salle-s-surprise-taane-samuel-49673">READ: Ateneo powered through La Salle&#x27;s surprise of Taane Samuel</a></li></ul>&quot;Last game kasi, first half, naka-limang three-points na ako. Kaya sabi ko kay Coach Jeff, ibe-break ko &#x27;yung record mo,&quot; said the 19-year-old Clemente, who played for Napa for three years in high school and won the UAAP Season 78 juniors crown.&quot;Wala, &#x27;di ko na-break. Tapos ngayon, &#x27;di ko rin na-break. &#x27;Yun talaga &#x27;yung target ko,&quot; he admitted.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/11/11/18/uaap-after-torching-feu-nus-clemente-still-has-lofty-goal">FULL STORY: After torching FEU, NU&#x27;s Clemente still has lofty goal</a></li></ul>Clemente had five triples against De La Salle University in their previous game, and also hit five from beyond the arc on Sunday when they played Far Eastern University.Napa is well aware of Clemente&#x27;s goal, and he has some advice for the young guard -- as well as for any player who has eyes on his record.&quot;Lahat ng sumubok noon, hindi nag-tagumpay eh, kaya mas maganda, gawin na lang nila muna, bago nila ako pag mayabangan,&quot; said Napa. &quot;Kumbaga, like kay Coach Allan, hindi ko naman alam na may record na ganoon si Coach Allan. Nilaro ko lang kung ano ang laro ko,&quot; he added.&quot;Siguro &#x27;yun ang mga mapapayo ko sa mga gustong gumawa ng ganoong record, just to play with it na lang sa game, kusang darating lahat &#x27;yan eh.&quot;As for Clemente, Napa is unsurprised that the guard was able to achieve such a feat even in his rookie year. Indeed, he expects to see more from the rookie.&quot;Since high school naman, expected ko na sa kanya na magiging ganya siya eh. It&#x27;s a matter of time lang, at saka &#x27;yung mga decision-making na kailangan niya matutunan niya talaga,&quot; said Napa.&quot;Nakukulangan pa rin ako eh, kasi ang dami niyang mga bad decision na ginawa kanina, lalo na doon sa three-points. So, hindi naman kailangan niyang ipilit lahat sa three-points eh. Pero he will learn from it naman,&quot; the coach guaranteed.For more sports coverage, visit the <a href="http://sports.abs-cbn.com">ABS-CBN Sports website</a>.
