Coach ng UP humihiling ng mas maraming ambag sa laro 2 ng UAAP finals

Matapos ang 74-70 na pagkatalo sa La Salle sa Game 1, hinikayat ng coach ng UP na si Goldwin Monteverde ang kanyang koponan na mag-ambag nang mas marami, hindi lamang si Harold Alarcon. Naniniwala siya na kailangan ng buong koponan upang manalo sa serye. Ipinahayag niya ang kumpiyansa sa kakayahang bumalik ng Maroons.

Sa Game 1 ng UAAP Season 88 men's basketball finals, nagpakita ng kahanga-hangang pagganap si Harold Alarcon ng UP Fighting Maroons, na nag-score ng 34 points sa 12-of-22 na field goals at 10-of-17 sa loob ng arc. Nagbigay siya ng 20 points sa first half, 6 sa third quarter, at 8 sa fourth. Gayunpaman, hindi sapat ito upang maiwasan ang 74-70 na talo laban sa De La Salle Green Archers, na nagdomina sa huling yarda sa pamamagitan ng 21-12 na run.

Bukod kay Alarcon, si Francis Nnoruka lamang ang nakapuntos ng double digits para sa UP, na may 13 points sa 6-of-8 shooting at 6 rebounds. Ang natitira ng koponan ay nag-shoot ng 16-of-41 lamang, kabilang ang 4 points sa fourth quarter.

Pagkatapos ng laro, sinabi ni head coach Goldwin Monteverde, “Whatever Harold did for us for this game, we need that. It’s just that as a team, they need to contribute. It’s not just him.” Idinagdag niya, “I think the 34 points, of course, the team needs it. But it’s not just Harold who would win these finals for us. It should take a team to be able to overcome whatever we’re facing in terms of offense.”

Binigyang-diin niya ang pangangailangan ng mas matinding depensa at consistency sa offensive rebounding. “For me, every finals game, we should want it more, especially on the defensive end. We need to be stronger,” ani Monteverde.

Ito ang ikalimang sunod-sunod na finals appearance ng UP sa ilalim ni Monteverde, na nagsimulang mag-coach sa Season 84, nang magwagi sila ng unang championship pagkatapos ng 36 taong tagtuyot. Ito rin ang ikatlong sunod-sunod na finals matchup laban sa La Salle. May mga manlalarong mula pa sa unang season niya tulad nina Alarcon, Terrence Fortea, at Gerry Abadiano.

Naniniwala si Monteverde sa kakayahang bumalik ng koponan, na nagsimula ng 0-2 sa season bago umangat sa second seed. “We just have to remind ourselves that we started the season 0-2. I believe our team knows how to bounce back,” sabi niya. Inihanda na nila ang adjustments para sa Game 2 sa Mall of Asia Arena.
