Meralco hardly missed from the three-point area, hitting 60 percent of its attempts en route to a franchise best 17 3-pointers made in a win over TNT in Game 3 of their semifinals series on Saturday.
Bolts head coach Norman Black felt his team needs to have the same kind of effort to close out the top seeded KaTropa in Game 4.
TNT guard Jayson Castro, however, doesn’t think Meralco will have another shooting game as good as its record-setting performance.
“Siguro para sa kanila talaga kasi ang ganda ng game nila, especially yung outside shots, yun naman yung sinasabi ko na talunin nila kami sa outside, wag lang sa paint, yun nga yung nangyari. Para sa kanila talaga yun, deserved nila,” Castro said after TNT’s 119-113 loss.
“Race to three ‘to di ba, kung sino unang makatatlo. Tingnan natin kung papasok pa rin yung mga outside shots nila next game,” he added.
Castro led the KaTropa with 28 points and 10 assists.
He said TNT just needs to make minor adjustments heading into Monday.
“Sa game na to, pumasok lang early yung mga outside nila so siguro konting adjustments lang, di naman major kasi andun naman yung mga defense namin tsaka hustle and rebounding.”
