La Salle bounces back; Lyceum starts to pick up form


By: Jonash Dannug

After taking a loss from the NCAA Champions San Beda Red Lions last Monday, the De La Salle University Green Archers vented their frustrations on the National University Bulldogs, 73-66, in the 12th Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup presented by Chooks-to-Go, Sunday at the Filoil Flying V Centre.

The Green Archers were in the driver’s seat for the initial part of the match, only for Enzo Joson to get fouled and drain both his freebies, giving NU their first lead of the game, 45-43, and making the contest interesting.

With the Bulldogs leading at the start of the fourth canto, Aljun Melecio spearheaded La Salle’s attack, scoring five in a 10-4 run that returned the advantage to La Salle. Melecio was 2-of-15 from the field before the run.

John Galinato tried to keep NU afloat after hitting a trey with 1:49 remaining, 65-62. However, in the next possession, Jolo Go and Taane Samuel scored consecutive two-pointers to give La Salle a comfortable seven-point cushion in the final minute of the game.

Even if his top-gunner had started sluggishly, La Salle head coach Louie Gonzales still commended him for setting the table for the Archers and keeping everyone involved.

“Aljun is still Aljun, hindi ko naman tatanggalin sa bata ‘yun eh. What’s good with the kid, ‘yung mga misses niya those are hindi niya rhythm eh, hindi pa niya nakukuha ‘yung rhythm kasi mas maganda doon sa bata na ‘yun, pinipilit niya to make everybody involved,” he said.

Justin Baltazar paced the Archers with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while his frontcourt partner Leo Santillan added 16 points and 12 boards. Melecio finished with 10 points on 4-of-18 shooting from the field to commandeer La Salle to a 6-1 card.

John Clemente was the only one in double figures for the Bulldogs scoring 13 points on 3-of-3 shooting from rainbow distance. NU suffered their fifth defeat, garnering a record of 3-5 in the group A.
