Medyo unusual, pero andiyan na, so moving forward, kailangan lang naming may mag step-up,&quot; said Reyes.</p><p>&quot;Kung ma-miss out niya yun, sayang yung experience itself. So hopefully, maging motivation yun sa kanila na mag-step up hindi lang isang tao, kundi yung grupo.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Yun ang isang bilin namin sa kanila. Hindi namin hinihingi yung output ni Angge sa isang tao. Kailangan talaga nilang mag tulungan. Andiyan pa rin Xzya [Gula], si Reg [Jurado], so depende na lang sa magiging takbo ng ensayo namin,&quot; he continued.</p><p>Reyes also urged UST to instead look at Poyos as an inspiration as they look to stay alive and extend the series.</p><p>&quot;Kailangan talagang mag tulungan. Hindi naman kami nananalo ng si Angge lang. Nananalo kami as a group,&quot; the Chery Tiggo Crossovers coach said. </p><p>&quot;Siguro, sa part ng mga players, hopefully maging inspirayon nila si Poyos. Definitely, gustong gusto niyang mag laro. Na-experience niya nang mawala ng isang game eh, nagkasakit siya, so ngayon, mas ayaw niyang mawala ulit especially Finals.&quot;</p><p>&quot;Hopefully makabalik. We&#x27;re doing the X-rays siguro pag balik ng UST, and we&#x27;re praying na walang fracture or anything na seryoso,&quot; he said.</p><p>Game 2 of the series is scheduled on Wednesday, May 15, 4 PM at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="3034634"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script><div><br/></div>
