La Salle reresbak sa UP sa Game 2
MANILA, Philippines — Walang ibang nasa isip ang nagdedepensang De La Salle University kundi ang resbakan ang University of the Philippines sa UAAP Season 87 men’s basketball championship series.
Tinalo ng Fighting Maroons ang Green Archers sa Game One, 73-65, noong Linggo para kunin ang 1-0 lead sa kanilang best-of-three titular showdown.
Nakatakda bukas ang krusyal na Game Two sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.
“It’s just gonna define us as a team, as long as we always do it right, we play right and honor this game that we love, that has always been good to us and we will not be defined by losing a game we have learned that if we lose the next two games,” sabi ni La Salle coach Topex Robinson matapos ang kanilang kabiguan.
Naging problema ni Robinson sa series opener si UP 6-foot-11 Quentin Millora-Brown na humakot ng career-best 17 point s bukod sa 9 rebounds, 3 assists at 2 steals.
“We know naman na if you’re gonna play against La Salle, defense will be the one to win the game,” ani Fighting Maroons’ coach Goldwin Monteverde.
