But we will do our best and I know the players will be giving their all on Thursday,” said CEU head coach Yong Garcia. The Scorpions employed crafty defense to slow down Flying V, limiting the latter to just 31 percent shooting from the field. Besides Ebondo, Garcia will also bank on Christian Uri and Art Aquino. Flying V will rely on hot-shooting Jeron Teng, Eric Salamat and Gab Banal. The winner of the do-or-die tiff will face Cignal HD in the best-of-three finals series.
