Deanna

Tumakbo na akong dugout after ing interview.

Pagbukas ko ng pinto, nabuhusan pa ko ng tubig ng mga kakampi ko habang nagsasaya.

They all congratulated me for the Win. Pero I told them na kung di dahil sa kanila, di rin kami mananalo.

Coach huddled us. "Good job team! You guys proved them na you still are the champion team! Well done veterans for playing well and guiding your rookies! Well done rookies for playing well like veterans!"

We all thanked coach.

"Guys, gusto nyo ba mag team dinner or bukas na lang, team breakfast? Tanong ni coach.

"Coach, pede breakfast na lang bukas? Anjan kasi family ko eh. Dinner kami muna." Sabi naman ni TM.

Everyone agreed naman kasi matic naman every first game, andito ang family and friends.

Natawa si coach, "Expected ko na yun. Sakto! Andyan din wife and children ko."

"Coach! For presscon daw, kasama si Wong and TM." Sabi ng iaang lalaki from production.

"Wait lang guys. Saglit lang to. Mag shower na ang mag shower dyan. Wong, Santillian, tara na."

Tumayo kami agad ni TM. Inakbayan naman ako ni TM habang naglalakad.

"Iba ka talaga Wong! I knew the moment I passed the ball na mapapasok mo ang winning shot."

"Lucky shot Captain." Sabi ko sa kanya. "Alam ko rin na tiwala kayo sakin kaya mas confident ako tumira." Sagot ko.

"Nahhh! I see you do it in practice way to many times para masabing lucky shot."

Nag ngitian na lang kami.

Pagpasok namin ng conference room, naupo kaming dalawa beside coach. Ako, si TM tapos si coach.

Nagpalakpakan naman ang press.

"Okay gama na." Sabi ni coach ng ta tawa tawa.

Reporter 1: Coach, anong masasabi mo sa nilaro ng players mo?

"Well, una pa lang malaki na ang tiwala ko sa kanila. Alam naman nila yun. Whatever happens basta ginawa nila yung best nila, proud ako sa kanila. Good thing my veteran players are reliable as always kaya pati rookies namin talagang napakaganda ng nilaro. Credit also to this two na talagang nagdala sa team."

Reporter 2: Captain, you scored 17 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. How did you prepare for this game?

"Uhmm. Same lang as the whole team. Sobrang nagpapakamatay kami sa training. We focus on both defens and offense talaga. Tska we always remind ourselves to play as one. Individually, hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero malalakas ang teammates ko, kado if we don't play as a team masasayang ang talent ng bawat isa. Also, one game at a time kami. Credit to St. Claire as always, ang hirap nila talunin. Also to our prized rookie to my side. Sobrang bilib ako sa taong to."

Sabay turo sakin ni Cap.

Reporter 3: "Deanna, first game mo pa lang pero nagpakitang gilas ka na. May gusto ka bang patunayan or is this a statement na di ka nila pedeng kaya kayanin lang kahit rookie ka pa lang?"

"Tbh, more of I want to play well to show my teammates na I can play well rin naman and kaya ko makipagsabayan para na rin msuklian yung faith nila sakin. Pero I always keep in mind to play as a team. Bonus na yung triple double ko. Di ko rin yun magagawa without them eh. Tska magaling mentor ko dito, nasa tabi ko. Hahahaha!"
