Generals survive Pirates in cardiac match  King Gurtiza showed no nerves and made the crucial free throws in the dying seconds of the clock to allow Emilio Aguinaldo College to prevail over the Lyceum of the Philippines University, 90-88, in the NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball tournament at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City on Sunday, Sept. 29.  Gurtiza showed wit after making a shooting motion in the three-point arc as he was fouled by Vincent Cunanan with 6.7 seconds remaining in the clock.  “The moment I was fouled I knew that I will be shooting three free throws, I told myself I practiced this already, so then I made it,” Gurtiza told reporters.  Gurtiza tallied a total of 21 points, five rebounds, and five assists.   Video by Nicole Anne D.G.

00:00When I see my teammates practicing, especially when it comes to game prep,

00:04the coach says that it's just a walkthrough because there might be an injury.

00:09But I still show them that I'm going hard.

00:11I always tell them that when it comes to game prep, we need to go hard because

00:16this is not what our opponents will give us.

00:18So we need to show them the energy that we need in practice.

00:23And how confident are you in being the leader of the club?

00:25Of course, you've been a veteran in the EAC.

00:28But how confident are you this season, or even in this game, to be the leader for the generals?

00:58Keep our composure.

01:00When they're already chasing, they're still ahead.

01:02We're just adding that we need to be composed because we're already used to these kinds of games.

01:08Because there are a lot of games like that.

01:09We're ahead and we can chase them.

01:11So it's really about composure at night.

01:14Kim, just take us back.

01:15The clock is 9 seconds and you're going to free throw.

01:19It's either you're going to go overtime and they'll score.

01:22There are a lot of scenarios that will happen.

01:24How did you handle the weight and the pressure?

01:27Because you're the one who's in charge of everything.

01:29When they fell on me, I knew that it was going to be 3 shots.

01:32Because I heard that they were going to fall on me.

01:35So when I fell, I just walked around.

01:40Just like what I did before the game, I just walked around to calm myself down.

01:45Then I told them that I was practicing this shot.

01:48And then it was a good shot.
