 Ricci takes a moment, after absorbing a hard foul.

 Thirdy grimaces as medics attend to him.

After a "mildly violent" mid-air collision, 
blood began quickly trickling [two long red, red trickles, to be exact] fr the back of Thirdy's head, all the way down to his shoulders and chest - ergo, he had to be subbed.

Damn ! - That would have made for some dramatic still images
[Ey, it's not every UAAP playdate that one sees that much blood, 
mind you].

A [4.0} 100-400mm telezoom wouldda been perfect for that opp [from where I was]!

By the time i switched from a wide to a 100mm, and had come closer, the blood flow had been arrested, so instead, I tried to capture Thirdy's facial expressions from a [not so intrusive] medium proximity.
