01:14 One more week of course, Game 3, it's the same intensity

01:22 what we want to bring in Game 3. It's a do or die game.

01:27 It's the same as what we did today, I said, this is it.

01:33 We've been in this situation before, not just one time but

01:38 I think it's been 6 times, 5 times already.

01:41 And the only thing that we did is we told ourselves to stay together

01:45 and not to give up, fight until the end, whatever the result is.

01:51 That's what I always tell you.

01:52 Coach, please talk about Jacob Cortez and your free throw shoot.

01:56 What? The free throws we did?

01:59 Ah, Jacob, after a bad game like that, you know how he's special

02:11 when he comes back from a game that he struggled.

02:18 It could have been better if you made free throws, right?

02:21 But that kid is special and he doesn't want to lose.

02:24 He told me at the start of the ball game.

02:27 Coach, your first win against Macau this season, how special is it?

02:31 It had to happen here in the finals.

02:34 Very special. Because if there's one thing that we now know,

02:39 our players now believe in, it's that we can beat them.

02:45 But it won't be easy knowing Coach Andy. Of course, they'll prepare.

02:48 They'll adjust. So we have to be ready for that also.

02:51 But this is a big win for us.

02:53 It's a big win for us.
