MANILA – After being outplayed by NLEX Road Warriors in Game 4, Magnolia Hotshots promised to regain its form as it aims for the series lead in Game 5 of their PBA Philippine Cup semifinals series tonight at the Ynares Center in Antipolo City.
Hotshots head coach Chito Victolero said they will devise a better game plan and encourage his wards to play together after the series was trimmed down to a best-of-three.
“I think we’re outplayed and outhustled by NLEX. I think mas gusto nila manalo ngayon,” Victolero said. “Bad start kami noong third. If we want to win this series, nasa third quarter kung ano iyong gusto naming mangyari.”
“Sabi ko nga sa kanila, it’s down to a best-of-three series,” he added. “We need to play together and stay together. We experienced it last season and if it goes to a best-of-seven, OK lang. One game at a time muna.”
Victolero also said he will be expecting Aldrech Ramos, Ian Sangalang, Rafael Reavis, Kyle Pascual, and Rodney Brondial to come out big in lieu of injured Marc Pingris.
“We need to find ways pa or we need other bigs pa na mag-step up, like Aldrech, Kyle and Rodney. Kahit papaano may makuha kami on both ends, defense and offense,” said Victolero.
“Siguro, iyon lang, iyong bench namin need mag-step up pa kasi ngayon talo kami sa bench scoring e,” he added. “Kailangan iyong bench, kahit papaano, maka-contribute din.”/PN
