Almadro sees nothing wrong with 'Walang duwag na Ravena' pep talk
COACH Oliver Almadro’s words of encouragement seemed to fire up Dani Ravena, and it drew mixed reactions on social media.
Almadro tried to motivate Ravena to go for the saves, with the match tied at a set each and a point separating Ateneo-Motolite and Pocari Sweat in the third set of their PVL Open Conference match on Sunday at Imus Sports Complex in Imus City, Cavite.
“Believe me, you’re very good, don’t doubt. Ravena ka, walang duwag na Ravena. Do you understand?” Almadro told the sophomore Lady Eagle, daughter of TNT coach Bong Ravena and former volleyball player Mozzy, and sister of basketball stars Kiefer and Thirdy.
“You know what you’re doing, sometimes nagda-doubt ka lang kung tama ‘yung gagawin mo or hindi,” he continued. “Just follow the system, follow the process, start at the line then move, do you understand? You’re doing good, believe me.”
The words seemed to motivate Ravena as she registered 16 digs and 11 excellent receptions in the four-set win.
While Almandro was praised online for the motivational talk, some believe it was unnecessary.

“Siguro, kasi nakabalik eh. Siguro nakatulong ‘yun,” said Almadro.
“Sana mga ganoon ko, alam niyo naman hyper ako eh, sana ‘yung mga ganoon ko mag-click sa utak nila. ‘Yun ang hinahabol ko eh,” he said.
“Wala naman talagang Ravenang duwag eh, tama naman,” he added.

Veterans Kat Tolentino and skipper Bea de Leon led the way for the Lady Eagles with 19 and 12 points, respectively, while rookie Vanessa Gandler made a good impression with nine markers and 14 digs.
“Kami syempre, we’re super, super happy that we won our first game. It’s a good start, its a good sign for us,” said de Leon.
It was also Oliver Almadro’s first win with the Lady Eagles after taking over in May.
Kim Gequillana also had nine points and Maddie Madayag scored eight for Ateneo.
Myla Pablo scored 30 points for Pocari Sweat-Air Force, while Jeanette Panaga had 16 markers.

Pep talk from La Salle coach brings out best from Encho Serrano
ENCHO Serrano’s first two games in the UAAP didn’t reflect why he’s one of the most celebrated rookies entering this season.
All of that changed with a little pep talk from La Salle coach Louie Gonzalez.
The former high school star from Pampanga finally showed glimpses of his tremendous potential on Sunday, scoring 11 points and grabbing four rebounds in La Salle's 82-72 win over University of the East.
All it took was a little talk with his coach, who asked the high-flyer to focus on defense and let the offense come to him.
Serrano obliged.
“Actually hindi pa talaga ako ganun ka-comportable, before the game sinabihan ako ni coach na, ‘Hindi ako susuko sa 'yo. Dahan-dahanin natin yan,’ dahil first time ko naman to at walang pang experience,” said Serrano.
“Sabi niya, ‘Basta kuha ka lang ng kumpyansa. Pag pasok mo gusto mo umopensa kaagad, wag mong ilagay yun sa isip mo. Unahin mo muna yung depensa hanggang sumunod sa opensa mo,’” he added.
That was all the motivation Serrano needed as he looked a lot more confident on the floor, pumping much-needed energy into the Green Archers' offense off the bench while playing solid defense the entire game.
“Ngayon pag pasok ko pinakita ko talaga kay coach na hindi ko sasayangin ang opportunity na binigay niya sakin, dedepensa talaga ako ng 100 percent. Lumabas naman at sumunod pa ang opensa. Okay naman,” he added.
However, Serrano insisted he’s still far from where he wants to be, saying there are still a lot of facets in his game that he needs to work on particularly his free-throw shooting after going 1-of-6 from the stripe.
“Yung free throws ko, ang dami kong miss kanina, pinapasok ko kasi sa isip ko na na-pressure ako, inuunahan ko yung sarili ko ng pressure na baka mag miss ako. Siguro kailangan lang, mag-start ako sa practice dahil marami pa akong iimprove.”

UAAP: FEU Tamaraws vent ire on UP Maroons to atone for shock loss
FAR Eastern University came out guns firing and never looked back as it tore through University of the Philippines, 89-73, in the UAAP Season 81 on Sunday at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
Coming off an upset loss at the hands of University of Santo Tomas last week, the Tamaraws laid the brunt of their rage on the Fighting Maroons as they opened the game with an 8-0 blast and never looked back.
Jasper Parker and Axel I̱igo set the tone early as they charged through the Maroons defense in the first half like bulls tearing through red cloth, before continuing to pounce on the Maroons in the second half Рleading by as many as 25 points near the end of the third period.
The closest the Fighting Maroons ever got was within 14 early in the fourth but that the Tamaraws responded with bombs from beyond the arc to stymy that rally.
“It was a defensive game para sa amin. Yung opensa namin, bonus lang. Good job by everyone, the players stuck to our gameplan,” said FEU coach Olsen Racela as they improved to 2-1 for the season.
“Again, the run was an effect of our defense kaya nagalit ako nung nag 10-0 run sila (nung fourth). Hindi kami dapat nag-stop ng offense with offense. UP had an off night. Again, maganda rin yung naging execution namin,” he added.
Prince Orizu had a perfect night with 15 points on 7-7 shooting alongside seven boards while putting the clamps on Bright Akhuetie who finishe with nine points on 4-11 shooting.
Arvin Tolentino added 13 points, Wendell Comboy finished with 12 while Parker and Iñigo finished with 11 points apiece.
Javi Gomez de Liano led the Maroons with 15 points as they dropped their second consecutive game following a rousing start to the season.
The scores:
FEU 89 – Orizu 15, Tolentino 13, Comboy 12, Parker 11, Inigo 11, Cani 8, Ebona 8, Tuffin 5, Stockton 3, Gonzales 2, Escoto 1, Bayquin 0
UP 73 – Gomez de Liano Ja 15, Gomez de Liano Ju 13, Manzo 11, Desiderio 10, Akhuetie 9, Prado 8, Vito 3, Murrell 2, Lim 2, Jaboneta 0, Tungcab 0, Gozum 0, Dario 0, Spencer 0
QUARTERS: 25-13, 49-35, 69-46, 89-73
In-form Phoenix continues to roll, deals Magnolia first loss
Eugene Phelps had 36 points, 20 rebounds, and four blocks as the Fuel Masters improved to 5-1 (win-loss) and extended the best start to a conference in franchise history.
As a misfiring Magnolia side slumped to its first loss in three games after making just 29 of 90 shots, Phoenix continued its rise since acquiring Calvin Abueva in a trade.
“For me, one of the best ang Magnolia especially sa defense. We were able to put a clamp on their offensive guys especially in the third quarter,” said Phoenix coach Louie Alas.
Phoenix is now in second place in the standings, just behind unbeaten Blackwater.
The Fuel Masters went on a 7-0 run to open a 82-72 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Phelps' two-hand jam extended the lead to 87-75 with 3:33 left.
Matthew Wright had 13 points, five rebounds, and four assists while Justin Chua had 12 points, eight rebounds, and three blocks for Phoenix, which also got nine points and 10 rebounds from Calvin Abueva.
Romeo Travis had 28 points, 19 rebounds, and two blocks but made just 11 of 21 shots, missing a number of attempts from point-blank range when the game got away from the Hotshots in the final stretch.
Jio Jalalon, Ian Sangalang, and Mark Barroca each added 11 points for the Hotshots. Jalalon, however, fouled out with five minutes left in the game.
The scores:
Phoenix 95 – Phelps 36, Wright 13, Chua 12, Revilla 9, Jazul 9, Abueva 9, Perkins 7, Wilson 0, Intal 0.
Magnolia 82 – Travis 28, Jalalon 11, Sangalang 11, Barroca 11, Lee 8, Ramos 6, dela Rosa 3, Melton 2, Galaminda 2, Reavis 0, Herndon 0, Pascual 0, Brondial 0.
Quarters: 30-19; 48-48; 71-67; 95-82.

Bataan Risers make it eight MPBL wins in row after holding off Sharks

Ex-pro Byron Villarias came away with a double double as the Risers survived a tough stand by the Cebu Sharks, 76-69, for a league-best eighth straight win.
The cousin of NLEX Road Warrior rookie guard Kiefer Ravena scored 11 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Two more others finished in double figures – Pamboy Raymundo with 12 and Jeepy Faundo with 10 - as Bataan improved to 8-1 for the solo lead in the Northern Division.
Villarias’ double-double effort was matched by Cedric Ablaza, who had 15 points and 10 boards in powering the Makati Skyscrapers to a tense 67-64 triumph over the Valenzuela Classic.
The 6-foot-3 Ablaza joined forces with ex-pro Rudy Lingganay in scoring the last three points from the free throw line for Makati, which won a second straight game to improve to 6-3.
Valenzuela, which dropped to 2-7 after a fifth straight loss, had a chance to send the game to overtime, but Rocky Acidre’s three-point try failed to hit the mark in the last two seconds.

Olsen Racela relieved to see FEU Tamaraws quickly bounce back
OLSEN Racela is delighted with how his players responded following Far Eastern University’s upset loss at the hands of the University of Santo Tomas last week.
Displaying the fire and tenacity that was sorely missing in that game, the Tamaraws came up with their most impressive outing of the UAAP Season 81 so far, blowing past University of the Philippines on Tuesday.
“Good bounce back win. It had to take a game like we played against UST for us to really play things possession by possession,” said Racela.
For the 47-year-old coach, it takes the pain of a loss to truly make his players realize the warnings that he’s been talking about.
And playing a strong team like the Fighting Maroons, he’s happy that they finally showed up.
“Hindi minor yun, major yun. Of course, yun yung klailangan namin matutunan. I always remind these players about that pero kailangan ata ma-experience muna nila,” Racela said.
“Hindi enough yung, parang akong magulang e. Di ba gaganyanin mo yung bata tapos papasok dito, lalabas dito, unless ma-experience nila talaga yung sinasabi mo, dun nila maiingraine sa utak nila. I think that’s what happened,” Racela added.
Racela believes the nine-day break allowed them to reflect on their mishaps and refocus on what they really wanted to do.
“I gave them two days off. Para makarecover sila. Killer week yun para sa amin eh,” said Racela.
“That was also an opportunity for us to focus on our fundamentals. I think It showed on this game.”
