Golden Tigresses played too stiff – Coach Kungfu
The UST Golden Tigresses played too serious to the point that they were playing stiff instead of enjoying the game.
This was what coach Kungfu Reyes thought was the reason why UST fell to the NU Lady Bulldogs, 23-25, 20-25, 20-25, in the UAAP Season 86 women's volleyball Finals Game One at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on May 11.
The Golden Tigresses look to bounce back in Game Two on May 15 and send the series into a decider.

00:00 Coach, what do you see that you need to bring out of the UST to bring back to the series?
00:08 I think we lost the...
00:10 I think the way we celebrate every points, the enjoyment itself.
00:15 That's the only thing that I'm serious about.
00:19 The kids are too much.
00:21 Because the occasion is too big.
00:25 The question mark is too big for their experience, their championship experience.
00:33 We said that we've been through that, 3 seasons.
00:36 But the occasion is not that big.
00:41 Venues, crowd, spotlight.
00:44 So, yeah.
00:45 Somehow it became a factor but again, we didn't do it.
00:49 We didn't do it.
00:51 We just need to bring back the kids.
00:55 The rhythm of the game itself.
00:57 Because that's what we lost.
01:00 We only have 1 point.
01:02 But again, paper form, we're limited.
01:06 Our scorers didn't deliver that high of an output.
01:11 But the drive is still there.
01:13 The errors that we didn't see until the semifinals, it's still there.
01:20 So, it's very important for the team.
01:22 That's it as a group.
01:25 We overcome the...
01:27 Actually, our first opponent was their own team.
01:33 That's what we're giving them an emphasis.
01:36 Skills-wise, the learning, the experience that we brought to the finals.
01:45 That's where we lost because our kids' movements were too stiff.
01:51 Actually, we're light on the inside.
01:55 We just need to bring back the groove, the timing, the rhythm of the kids.
02:00 Coach, Angel is one of the players.
02:03 But I hope it's not like that.
02:05 Who are you hoping to replace as an open hitter or contribute points that are close to what Angel can give?
02:11 That's what we're choosing for them.
02:15 We're not asking for the output of Angel to one person.
02:20 They really need to help.
02:22 So, Saiza, Pierre, and Rhe, are still there.
02:29 So, it depends on how our team runs.
02:34 They're ranked.
02:35 I can't disclose who those people are.
02:38 There are still people who can replace him.
02:42 They really need to help.
02:45 We're not winning because Angel is the only one who's scoring.
02:49 We're winning because of the group.
02:51 There are some who are winning.
02:53 There are some who are not.
02:54 But before the attack, there's a defense for him.
02:58 And he's getting hit.
02:59 So, the collective effort is not maximized.
03:03 Turning point, we're not converting.
03:06 We're not converting the unusual not-so-over, the sudden replacement, the single-backs.
03:12 There are instances where the team's character is not like that.
03:18 Hopefully, we'll get it back.
03:20 We lost the game.
03:22 Game 1, we said that we don't want to lose our character.
03:27 And when we won, no one won a game in the best of 3.
03:33 We just need to get it back.
03:35 Jo's heart is that even if the team loses, we'll fight back.
03:40 What do you expect from him?
03:42 Our general instruction or message to them is to fight.
03:48 If we just play, we'll win.
03:50 Our group's character is to fight until the end.
03:56 We just need to maximize and make the players feel it.
04:01 So, that's it. This is how it is.
04:04 We won a game, we lost a game.
04:06 We're going to the title.
04:07 What's important is what's next.
04:10 We're already there.
04:12 We lost, we're not doing good there.
04:15 We'll find a way.
04:17 And we know how to win a game.
04:19 We never lose hope, especially to them.
04:22 We make them feel that we don't have hope.
04:27 It's not like that.
04:29 Move forward.
04:31 We'll find a way.
04:32 We'll execute what we have.
04:34 Again, we'll just play steeply.
04:36 We'll just change our mindset.
04:39 We'll go back to hardcore.
