00:00 Rolling to the rim, just missed the shot.
00:02 Atobarba, coast to coast.
00:05 And the third year player out of their juniors program starts us off in scoring.
00:10 Missing on that shot.
00:14 And Corteza gets the board. This is another guy
00:16 who looks to explode for Benilde as he
00:19 turns on the jets and flips it up and in.
00:22 Benilde's unit, Omandac.
00:24 Not the best shot possible for LPU.
00:29 Benilde gets it.
00:31 Robbie Naive, the sidestep.
00:33 And the floater in the lane goes.
00:36 Naive.
00:37 Naive against the double.
00:40 They swing it to Carlos who has the open look.
00:42 And Prince Carlos knocks it down.
00:44 LPU is one of those teams who are known to locate the nearest threat on the outside.
00:50 So hopefully, we know that in the first quarter, they can adjust immediately
00:53 to find the nearest shooter.
00:54 Missed his first two, made his third shot of the game.
00:57 And Tomarba able to flip that one up and in.
01:01 Benilde won.
01:01 They're ready to set an example, show their talents,
01:04 and give everyone a good game to enjoy.
01:06 That's what Benilde Blazers did this season.
01:08 Martin.
01:09 At this point, just couldn't buy a basket.
01:11 We can already see CSB doing well in going inside the paint
01:16 because LPU refuses to push them out of the paint.
01:19 According to him, they rarely practice preseason in their training camp
01:23 where they have a longer quarter to prepare.
01:27 According to Valdez.
01:28 MontaƱo utilizing that Umali screen
01:33 because MontaƱo knocks it down.
01:35 Red Road MontaƱo.
01:37 That big Benilde run.
01:39 Corteza is open.
01:40 And Corteza finds the bottom of the net.
01:44 What an improvement for Corteza.
01:45 Drive to the basket, but he shot in his head.
01:47 So I guess, the scouting was reversed.
01:50 They already know what defense LPU will give them.
01:53 Shot Umali with a clear way.
01:56 That rims out.
01:57 Villegas tracks it down.
01:59 Two on three.
02:00 Behind the back, PeƱa-Fiel all the way.
02:03 Alvin PeƱa-Fiel.
02:05 Simon PeƱa-Fiel gets on.
02:07 He's been on the ball a lot.
02:08 He's leading this team.
02:10 He's activating his teammates.
02:12 That's his main mission.
02:13 Back away, Marcos.
02:15 Scrambling for the off.
02:17 And no when to position for those rebounds and easy putbacks.
02:20 Linok Valdez.
02:22 Valdez.
02:23 Face-night drive and goes for the reverse.
02:26 Nice move.
02:28 LPU and Benilde respectively.
02:31 All right, as we begin the second quarter here,
02:33 shot Umali underneath.
02:37 Gets his second bucket of the game.
02:39 And this was what I mentioned earlier.
02:42 How come Benilde is not double-teaming Umali?
02:44 And they did, but they still had a hard time.
02:47 Oh, Renz, Villegas.
02:50 Two quick ones.
02:51 4L has been chopped down to four.
02:53 And this is where LPU is at its best.
02:58 But Miguel Oczon says, I can do one better.
03:01 The step through and the layup for Miguel.
03:04 He's a defense, so let's see how he bothers the big of Benilde.
03:08 OK, Marcos sends it out.
03:10 Tame Davis, who just checked in.
03:11 Oczon on corks.
03:13 And Oczon knocks it down.
03:15 Renz Oczon.
03:16 Who's at the--
03:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:20 The first basket of LPU earlier.
03:23 Bravo connects.
03:25 Benilde triple.
03:28 For LPS, it looks like they are having a hard time scouting
03:30 what LPU is doing.
03:32 Because it's either they go inside,
03:33 but they also have the green light to shoot for the outside.
03:36 It doesn't matter if you're a guard or a big.
03:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:39 Probably this is something he's been trying to add to his game.
03:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:44 And we haven't seen the consistency
03:45 so fast-breaking about this.
03:47 And speaking of fast-break points, it's Robbie Naive.
03:51 Operating.
03:53 By that amazing pattern, of course,
03:54 Nafal Rashabad made it up with his free throws.
03:57 A beautiful feed.
03:58 And Bravo finishes inside on that triple try.
04:05 Jarke floats it up and in.
04:09 Down the middle he goes.
04:11 Zendrick Jarke.
04:15 And the barba all the way as well.
04:18 Quick in this one.
04:20 O'Malley.
04:22 Big Sean, body to body with Davis.
04:25 Oh, Sean O'Malley following up his own miss.
04:29 Sean O'Malley in the paint.
04:31 And by the way, back in the fold for Benilde.
04:35 And here he is, sending it out.
04:37 Flores for three.
04:39 Yes.
04:41 The veteran, Chris Flores.
04:43 Connecting from long distance.
04:46 Bringing the ball down.
04:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:49 Off-hand floater is off.
04:51 Carlos comes away with it.
04:53 Flores for three.
04:54 Yes.
04:56 Chris Flores with two triples here in the second frame.
04:59 The front court.
05:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:02 Valdez now.
05:05 Villegas to the corner.
05:07 PeƱa-Fiel attacks.
05:09 PeƱa-Fiel lays it up and in.
05:13 Way short.
05:15 And here comes Renz Villegas.
05:17 Bounce pass, J.M. Bravo.
05:19 Contact basket for LPU.
05:23 As you can see, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:26 Santos for Benilde.
05:28 Miguel Oczon, step back jumper.
05:32 That's a little too strong.
05:33 But Corteza.
05:34 Corteza.
05:35 And connects for Benilde.
05:37 Beautiful defense.
05:39 Is Big Body able to fend off the bigs?
05:42 Benilde.
05:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:45 Goes for the basket and beyond.
05:47 Finally, this is what we have been waiting for.
05:50 Valdez coming alive with those strong drives to the basket.
05:55 And I'm so proud and happy to see this again.
05:57 So hopefully, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:00 And to emulate that same energy that--
06:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:05 Swing it to Bersosa.
06:07 Here's the handoff to Valdez.
06:08 Valdez pulls the trigger.
06:10 And Valdez.
06:12 Knocks it down from deep.
06:13 Wow.
06:14 Valdez is on the move.
06:16 Villegas pull up jumper.
06:18 Oh, it rolls out.
06:19 And let's go to LPU's side.
06:21 Here is a report.
06:22 Take a left.
06:23 Oh!
06:25 Miguel Ville scores.
06:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:29 Now we go to LPU.
06:30 Carving space sent back by Corteza.
06:33 Villegas off the bank.
06:37 And the Pirates are within one.
06:39 With point, with 6 and 46 to go.
06:43 Throw loses it.
06:45 And here comes Miguel Oczon.
06:47 Helter skelter basketball from both ends.
06:50 Oczon the turnaround.
06:51 Oczon!
06:52 Oczon!
06:53 Off the glass.
06:55 Oczon with the board.
06:57 And away to Prince Carlos.
06:59 Carlos with the crossover.
07:01 He drives.
07:01 And he lays it up and in.
07:04 What a move by Prince Carlos.
07:06 If they can't look for their open looks,
07:09 they should really set up their play.
07:12 Oh, Miggy Corteza with a looper of a shot.
07:17 Shot Umali.
07:19 Off to the right.
07:20 Oh, ball is loose.
07:22 Umali tracks it down.
07:23 Umali scores underneath.
07:27 Got to give it to him, which is not working for them.
07:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:31 They are doing well as a team right now.
07:33 And [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] with that big three.
07:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:38 Point for game off the bench in season 98.
07:42 So all Guadagnan needed to do was just
07:44 warm up in the first half.
07:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:48 And we're all tied up.
07:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:54 There you go.
07:55 This is what you want to see.
07:56 They're finally setting up and not rushing inside the base.
07:59 Here's the kick out.
08:00 Bravo from the top of the--
08:02 [INAUDIBLE]
08:02 He knocks it down.
08:05 J.F. had outscored in Benilde 25 to 12, as we can see here.
08:12 That's the only quarter they've won so far.
08:15 And it's been the biggest.
08:18 Cortez for three.
08:21 Big time triple from Biggie.
08:23 Attack the basket.
08:24 They now can rely with their players beyond the arc.
08:26 Much needed for Benilde.
08:28 Apple Barba swishes the triple on the other end.
08:33 Both teams answering back.
08:35 For General so far, he finds Bravo.
08:38 And the open lane.
08:40 The basket and the on for J.M. Bravo.
08:43 A traditional three point play opportunity.
08:48 As a team.
08:49 Corteza misfires.
08:50 Sacco gets it.
08:51 And Sacco follows it up.
08:55 And this is what Benilde needs right now.
08:57 If they--
08:58 There's--
08:58 Here's Shon Omani asking for it.
09:01 Big Shon.
09:02 Big Shon with a short hook.
09:07 Wow.
09:08 Same game plan.
09:10 Villegas tracks it down.
09:12 He goes for three.
09:12 No.
09:13 Barba.
09:15 Oh.
09:16 Missing from point blank.
09:18 But they don't give up.
09:20 It is Bravo.
09:23 With a second--
09:24 First half 46%.
09:25 Second half 27%.
09:28 Naive.
09:29 Oh, couldn't bank it in.
09:32 Flores, the open look.
09:35 Flores.
09:36 Magalina lane knocks one in.
09:39 For Benilde.
09:41 And good to see CSB not giving up on the outside.
09:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:46 At least we finally have good looks on--
09:49 Villegas.
09:52 Guadagna.
09:53 Thought about it.
09:53 Guadagna.
09:54 Got in.
09:55 Guadagna.
09:57 With a lefty layup.
09:59 What a play.
10:01 CSB.
10:02 --of defense.
10:03 Bravo putting it on the floor.
10:06 Oh, jam.
10:07 Bravo up and in.
10:09 18.
10:11 Comfortable cushion.
10:13 Eight-point lead.
10:15 Naive.
10:17 Oh, the change of speed.
10:19 Robbie Naive.
10:22 Looks like both teams are struggling finding the next open
10:25 man inside the paint.
10:27 Scored a basket earlier.
10:29 They go to Miggy at the post.
10:30 Quick spin.
10:31 Corteza.
10:32 That's a nice move for Miggy at the baseline.
10:36 I'm surprised to see that Corteza hasn't been that much open
10:39 when it came to--
10:40 Faining.
10:40 Gunanan.
10:42 Losing it.
10:43 Picked up by Naive.
10:45 Here comes Robbie.
10:46 Corteza.
10:47 Easy.
10:48 Do a transition.
10:50 We got a four-point game.
10:51 What a way to not be selfish.
10:53 This is the play of LVU now.
10:55 They can look forward to.
10:57 83-76, one out of two for Big Sean.
11:00 Robbie Naive says we're not yet done.
11:04 Three-point play opportunity for Robbie.
11:06 Down the basket.
11:08 Robbie Naive connects.
11:10 It's a four-point game.
11:12 LVU just needs a clean inbound.
11:15 Because Benilde will be playing the free throw game.
11:24 Oh, Robbie steals it away.
11:26 Naive.
11:27 Hand-time bucket.
11:29 It's a two-point game.
11:30 Woo!
11:31 [CHEERING]
11:33 This is what I was saying.
11:34 Anything can happen with this.
