A day after the loss, however, Guiao was surprisingly nonchalant about the defeat.
“Wala ito,” Guiao told InterAKTV. “Our most important game will be against San Mig Coffee. That is a game that determines our future this conference. If we win, we’re still in the hunt for the top two.”
Even his team’s apparent collapse is no big deal, according to Guiao.
“It could happen to any team,” he said. “There were three things why we lost the game. First, we gave up a lot of second chance points, second we had a breakdown on defense, particularly against LA Tenorio and Chris Ellis and third, we were not able to match the energy of Ginebra’s fastbreaking game in the second half, a thing which we’ve been doing during the first half.”
But while Guiao was quick to brush off the loss, Rain or Shine star Gabe Norwood is determined to bounce back to make up for his sub-par offensive game.
Norwood, who was held scoreless, cannot wait to get back on court to play against San Mig Coffee.
“The energy was there, but I can’t buy a basket. I was kind of disappointed,” said Norwood. “This wasn’t the first time it happened to me. I was also held scoreless in one of our finals game against B-MEG last season.
“I’m looking forward to play in the most important game for us, against San Mig Coffee.”'
