Pero yun, okay kami na medyo tumatiming yung pag angat ng performance namin, sana tuloy tuloy,&quot; the coach said.</p><p>Aside from this, the Lady Bulldogs must not also rely on their semifinal bonus and instead go for the kill right away in the first game.</p><p>&quot;Of course malaking bagay siya no, yung twice-to-beat advantage, but then, para sa amin, we don&#x27;t look at it na may ganung advantage. Kailangan talaga, starting Game 1, talagang all-out na kami to finish the game,&quot; said Miguel.</p><p>&quot;Pag tatrabahuhan naman talaga namin yun. So para sa amin, regardless of the advantage, hindi na namin siya iniisip eh. Tatapusin agad, pag trabahuhan, naming mag perform ng 100% to win Game 1.&quot;</p><p>Miguel also plans to bank on his team&#x27;s depth, with a lineup that goes beyond their attacking troika of Bella Belen, Alyssa Solomon, and Vange Alinsug. </p><p>&quot;Kami ha, sa team namin, alam namin yung arsenal namin itong tatlo, sila yung aming triangle diba?&quot; Coach Norman said.</p><p>&quot;Pero hindi naman kami magiging formidable or solid kung wala rin yung support ng ibang players namin, like yung mga middles, for block, Shaira for passing and digs, other liberos, diba?&quot; he continued, while also hailing their other players who are also capable of stepping up as leaders in their own right.</p><p>&quot;Then ang pinaka importante din para samin, aside from sa kanilang tatlo, yung support na nakukuha sa iba is yung leadership, diba? Na ile-lead din sila. May character na lumalabas na para sa team namin na pag sa crunch time, ayan na, lumalabas na diyan yung mga character nila as NU players.&quot; </p><p>&quot;Importante samin yung ganun. &#x27;Di lang sa kanilang tatlo, yung support din ng iba aside sa skills, yung support din ng leadership, yung trust nila sa isa&#x27;t isa, yung alam nilang merong mag-aangat sa kanila in times na nagkakamali sila, yung mga ganung support,&quot; he reiterated. </p><p>NU will be waiting for the result of the Saturday clash between the De La Salle Lady Spikers and the UST Golden Tigresses as it will determine their spot in the Final Four. </p><p>A DLSU win will assure NU of the top seed, while a defeat by the Lady Spikers will result in the Lady Bulldogs sitting at No.2.</p><p>As for La Salle and UST, their bout is a virtual fight for the twice-to-beat advantage.</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 width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RPVBbIEDkjc?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span></div>
