00:00Post-game press conference. Congratulations to the UP Fighting Maroons for beating the Danzonsoy Falcons 69-57.
00:08The Fighting Maroons are undefeated in five games.
00:12We have Coach Godwin Monteverde, Terrence Fortea, and Kenty Maniola-Brown.
00:19Coach Godwin, congratulations for this victory.
00:23But you were able to catch up from 22 points deficit in the first half,
00:28and then you were able to recover in the second half and led by a small 16 points.
00:32So, what did you say to the boys in the halftime?
00:38Well, sometimes there are games where we were really trying to execute offensively in the first half.
00:44But then a few shots weren't coming and it was not falling in.
00:49So, what we talked about was to stick to the game plan,
00:53work as a team, work from time to time for shots.
00:57At the same time, on the other hand, of course, there were a lot of things that happened in the first half.
01:01So, we had to remind ourselves to continue to work for it.
01:06Thank you to Terrence. You have 13 points on par for field goal shooting, five rebounds, two steals, and one assist.
01:14So, you were one of the susies in the third quarter.
01:19So, what did you say when you saw the victory?
01:22And double dividends even though Adlon had an advantage in the 22 points.
01:26Actually, it's not okay.
01:28Maybe it's because we didn't look at it.
01:32Maybe it's just a bonus on my side that I was able to shoot a 20-0.
01:37But maybe it's still assetting.
01:40That's why we won.
01:44Thank you, Terrence.
01:45And UMD, you had 11 points, 14 rebounds tonight.
01:51So, what can you say about your team effort?
01:55After that first quarter, I thought that we did a great job responding.
01:59I thought that on the first quarter, we came out of the stagnant flat.
02:02Couldn't get shots.
02:03Wasn't getting shots on defense from the game plan that we had planned for.
02:07But I thought that there was a great response by everyone to understand our shots are going to come
02:12and to just stay patient and ready for when the time came.
