"CP3?"
The fans were heared chanting CP3! CP3! not because of the famous NBA player Chris Paul but to cheer for Calvert Porter.
It rained 3s in MOA Arena Maxx (Jeorgians Homecourt) as the team combined to shoot 12/27 from the 3pt. territory with CP3 leading the way with 5 conversions. With its torrid shooting from the outside, Jeorgians was able to buck the absence of top bigman Alex Stepanov to deal the Great 8 leader Dog only its second loss for the season.
asked for Porter's comments:
Porter: Swerte lang maaga tayong uminit ngaun, kailangan din mag step-up dahil medyo malaki ang nawala samin ng ma-injure si pareng Steph..buti nalang gumana ang shooting natin ngaun. i also give it to my teammates for stepping up.. di lang naman ako 'to, buong team ang nagsikap para sa panalo na 'to.
Coach Jeorge: Actually di na ko nagulat sa performance ni CP, alam nya na kung ano ang gagawin sa mga ganitong sitwasyon. Ang gusto ko tlaga i-acknowledge ay ang performance ni Tapiador. Naisip ng coaching staff na bigyan sya ng pagkakataon na ipakita ang kakayahan nya at di nya naman kami binigo. He really stepped up. Nakipag basagan talaga sya ng mukha sa ilalim kaya naman tuwang tuwa kami sa performance nya. Madalas natatabunan ng ibang teammates nya ang performance nya off the bench kaya sana eh pagpatuloy nya lang ang pinapakita nyang hardwork.
