Medyo under the weather, pero nag-ensayo siya. Supposedly kagabi magte-train ulit pero medyo dizzy pa yung bata,&quot; said Reyes about Poyos.</p><p>&quot;More on strengthening lang, hindi naman [serious]. Hindi ko alam yung exact term, pero may strain sa tuhood. Malapit na rin siya,&quot; he added of Banagua.</p><p>&quot;Naitawid naman namin yung game na to para sa kanila ni Poyos at Em. Nothing serious about kay Poyos. Talagang binigay lang namin yung tamang pahinga para makapag-recover talaga,&quot; he continued.  </p><p>Stepping up for UST was Jonna Perdido who tied her career best of 24 markers, while Reg Jurado also produced the same number of points. This, according to Reyes, was a matter of his team filling in the holes that their absent players have left. </p><p>&quot;I think yung added responsibility, yun yung sinasabi namin na ine-embrace kasi nila,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;Ahead of time, medyo alam namin na yung recovery period ni Angge is hindi aabot. I think individually, nakikita naman nila kasi nga for the past two training sessions namin, di na namin nakikita si Angge. Nagre-recover na nga. I think yun ang pinaka importante na we still have the 12 strong ladies na part ng team.&quot; </p><p>&quot;That’s why team kami. Sabi nga, sumusuporta ang bawat isa, pero hindi kami umaasa sa iisang tao. That’s the beauty of it ng team na ready mag-respond whatever the task na pwede ibigay,&quot; he continued.</p><p>The Chery Tiggo mentor also lauded Cassie Carballo, who had 19 excellent sets, and Xyza Gula, who finished with 12 points, for their solid outings for their team.</p><p>&quot;Luckily na tumama yung pinaghirapan nila, pero yung luck na yun pinaghihirapan din during training. Sa distribution naman ng bola ni Cassie, dalawang wings namin na nagdo-double digit. I don’t know kung si Xyza kung naka-double digit din, pero ang maganda yung contribution din ng middle namin especially on the latter part,&quot; he explained.</p><p>&quot;Mas madali yung panalo na lahat into it na willing tumulong in their own little ways.&quot;</p><p>However, despite their well-balanced performance, Reyes does not want the España-based squad to have any complacency as they move forward.</p><p>&quot;Well since nandun na kami sa Final Four, pero doon muna kami sa last remaining games namin,&quot; he said.</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Di lang kami sa Final Four nagse-settle eh, meron kaming tina-target kung saan kami sa rankings. Doon lang muna kami. Very obvious naman na ready na kami sa Final Four pero one step at a time sa respeto na ibibigay namin sa kalaban namin kasi ang taas ng level ng competition this second round.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Lahat nag-double o triple yung effort kasi yung learning o experience ng first round, nadadala ng lahat ng teams. Even yung pinakabatang team, UE, grabe yung determination nila to win a game. Kami rin, itataas namin yung learning experience namin. Hanggang sa ngayon, bitbit namin yun sa remaining games namin,&quot; he ended.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable" frameBorder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pcvcBixYHj8??si=TfMTrrERjL8SuOQ8&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" width="640"></iframe></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
