00:00 versus San Beda in a knockout game.
00:03 Again, the winner will advance to the finals
00:07 and face the Mapua Cardinals.
00:08 Good to have you with us.
00:09 Cardinal Vieira alongside the defense minister,
00:11 Coach Jerry Coutinhera, taking care of this game.
00:15 And Coach LPU trailing it by nine points.
00:20 It's almost the same problem from the previous game.
00:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:25 Although they're attempting more from inside the yard.
00:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:33 You know, this tall San Beda, tall and long San Beda lineup,
00:37 definitely bothering them.
00:39 Yes, but [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:47 Giving San Beda their largest lead of the game, 28 to 17.
00:53 Again, Gonzalez continues his solid play off the bench.
00:57 Chaco Barba snipes one from the outside.
01:03 Badly needed for LPU.
01:07 Although that's something San Beda will give them,
01:09 those outside touches, those open looks from the outside.
01:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:19 Yes.
01:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:21 Sometimes you have to leave out something.
01:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:30 So all of the points, all of the field goals, at least,
01:32 that the LPU so far have come from long range.
01:37 Their other five points, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:46 No, they go outside again.
01:48 Bravo.
01:48 Overshoots.
01:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:50 Follow up, finally, for Enoch Valdez.
01:54 That's their first field goal from inside the arc,
01:58 from two point area.
02:00 And Enoch has a chance for a plus one.
02:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:09 And right there to save the day was Enoch Valdez.
02:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:18 Yeah.
02:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:20 Backs out.
02:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:23 Jerry, update [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:28 Other stories from the camp of the pirates.
02:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:34 Pressure cannot be avoided in fights like this.
02:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:39 Valdez.
02:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:18 Lexi, advance happy birthday to Sean Omani.
03:21 And--
03:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:29 Enoch Valdez, again, he is the only graduating player
03:33 in this pirates team.
03:35 Leaving it all on the court today, Coach Jerry.
03:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:42 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:57 And this is what we're looking for from LPU, their response
04:03 from San Beto's big start.
04:05 This is something they were unable to do in the previous game.
04:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:11 As we take a look at this sequence,
04:14 our referees are checking this one.
04:16 Valdez, off the contest by Gonzalez, he misses the three.
04:20 Looks like minimal contact, but--
04:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:36 Nigel Gonzalez, but it was not upgraded.
04:46 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:48 Shot on the court, he inserts.
04:50 Oh, OK, so just a sideline inbound, Coach Jerry.
04:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:06 Nice try, just a miss for Atobarba.
05:10 As you can--
05:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:12 Oh, Ali erasing.
05:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 Valdez, oh!
05:18 [WHISTLE BLOWS]
05:19 Lost the ball, but Bravo collecting the offensive rebound
05:23 and is able to fish a foul.
05:25 Now we go to San Beto side this time.
05:27 Here's an update from Miss Hannah Arguella.
05:30 Thank you so much, Mark.
05:31 You know, one thing I can say that we do not
05:33 want to happen right now is a season 97 situation.
05:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:37 It was a semifinals heartbreak for the Red Lions
05:40 when they lost their second matchup against the then twice
05:43 to beat Mapua Cardinals.
05:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:47 It's possible to win or lose in any battle.
05:50 And despite winning last game, I always
05:52 tell my players to focus on the present.
05:55 But I believe our odds are much better this season.
05:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:59 Peter Alfaro, who is in his last playing year.
06:01 Now as seniors, we can expect them to step up
06:04 in terms of composure and stability.
06:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:07 The question now is, will all of this
06:12 be enough to bring home the W for the Red Lions?
06:15 So far, Val, what do you think, Martin and Coach Jerry?
06:19 So far, so good for them, Hannah.
06:21 They are ahead by just four right now,
06:24 so they're not ahead in this game.
06:26 That's what you want to hear from Coach Jerry as well.
06:29 He's not that confident in this group.
06:31 And his coaching staff as well.
06:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:34 I was able to talk to the manager, Coach Jude
06:39 DeVolpe, a while back as a [INAUDIBLE]
06:41 a step three pro-line jumper.
06:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:45 Initially, their plan, of course, was to take
06:47 the twice to beat advantage.
06:48 They wanted to be part of the top two.
06:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:18 [INAUDIBLE]
07:19 But the board, Valdez leads it up.
07:23 Eno Valdez is having one of those games so far.
07:29 10.4 rebounds for Valdez.
07:31 Alvaro, one of the four graduating players
07:34 of the San Bernardin Red Lions.
07:37 Off to the right that time, they have Javier Contapa
07:39 and Galiego Alvaro leaving after this season.
07:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:48 Bravo.
07:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:55 And I bet that was a top priority for Coach Gilbert
08:01 Malabanan.
08:02 Shut down Jacob Cortez.
08:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:08 Paiyosing, cross court pass.
08:18 Paiyosing, pull up, silence.
08:21 James Paiyosing able to put that one up and in.
08:26 And the Red Lions maintain the six point lead.
08:30 We have a timeout on the floor.
08:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
08:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:48 We're back inside of Filloil Echo Center in San Juan City
08:52 continuing our coverage of the NCAA season '99
08:55 new heroes of the game.
08:57 And this is your favorite sports and entertainment show.
09:00 You guys are watching Game On.
09:02 My name is Martin Aviert taking care of business
09:05 for our post-game show.
09:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:09 At the heels of their win, 10th win of the season.
09:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:13 Contra San Sebastian, 70 to 63.
09:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:17 Our court general, floor general,
09:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:21 We're back to our coverage.
09:27 And yeah, where's the cavalry?
09:29 Of course, this platoon of LPU players,
09:34 they were able to get their numbers.
09:36 Coach Jerry, 12 points for Guadana, Barba with 10,
09:38 Conano with 9, Umali with 8, JM Bravo only with 4 points.
09:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:44 I believe, you know, it's not the offense.
09:46 Again, that was the problem for LPU in that game.
09:49 As Lexi mentioned earlier, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:55 Valdez off the catch, lays it up, and puts it in.
10:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:14 I told you, coach, he's having one of those years.
10:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:24 Enoch has already tied his total from the last game.
10:38 Valdez, yeah, off foot, awkward tape, but [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:43 And you can tell, you know, despite this being a knockout
10:50 game, Valdez is playing loose enough.
10:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:53 James Payosing today, 9 points in the first half,
11:04 only one miss from the field with 5 rebounds.
11:08 And that's what he is capable of.
11:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:19 Valdez with 17 in the first half,
11:23 and he cuts the lead to 1.
11:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:26 You can extra pass to the corner.
11:41 Payosing with the tag.
11:42 Payosing, no ground on the layup.
11:44 Hopia follows it up.
11:47 Again, Clifford Hopia continues to control the pass.
11:52 Valdez!
11:54 Another 3-pointer, back-to-back hits, and he's got 20 points.
12:00 Oh, 19, long 2 down initially.
12:03 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:04 Oh, James Payosing with a counter.
12:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:17 37-33.
12:20 An exchange of baskets in this juncture.
12:28 McLeod, difficult shot.
12:32 And Hopia secures the board.
12:34 Jacob Cortes, partial touch, leads it off for a tackle.
12:38 Let's see if Cortes will receive the ball.
12:44 If not, you get too strong.
12:48 And this is going to be on JM Bravo, Coach Jerry.
12:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:52 Long 2, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:01 Valdez, 19 points in the first half.
13:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:13 He is all fired up, but Sanbeda is still in front.
13:18 [MUSIC - "HEROES OF THE STORM"]
13:20 (SINGING) Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh, we'll
13:22 march for the ceiling, yeah.
13:25 Look at me now, I'm flying so high.
13:35 I can see the whole world.
13:39 Look at me now, I'm ready for victory.
13:43 It's my time, my turn.
13:46 Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh, we'll march for the ceiling, yeah.
13:54 Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh, we'll take flight for the ceiling, yeah.
14:01 Hero, oh, oh, oh, oh.
14:05 [MUSIC - "HEROES OF THE STORM"]
14:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:10 Our referees are still verifying if his last basket was a 2
14:23 or a 3.
14:24 But right now, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:27 So he has 19 points.
14:29 If they call it a 3, he has 20 points.
14:33 OK.
14:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:35 19 points, 6 out of 10 from the field.
14:37 Coach Jerry, with four boards and one take away in this game.
14:44 Enoch Valdez is on a mission today.
14:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:53 How is he going to steer LPU to another finals berth
15:05 and how will he perform in potentially his final game
15:10 in the NCAA?
15:11 Well, this was a 3-pointer.
15:17 Oh.
15:19 So it was a 3.
15:21 My initial call was correct.
15:23 He has 20 points in the game.
15:28 OK.
15:29 The score is 37-34.
15:34 Thank you for that clarification, guys.
15:37 You can shortstab.
15:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:41 Andrada converting.
15:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:50 Valdez short.
15:52 We'll check for Enoch after hitting two 3s.
15:57 Jacob.
15:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:01 Broken up.
16:02 Here is Valdez.
16:04 Enoch all the way.
16:05 Valdez with 22 points.
16:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:15 Here in the second quarter, 15.
16:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:29 But James Paiosing will take on this duel.
16:34 14 points for James Paiosing.
16:37 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:39 Villegas.
16:42 Oh, changing speed.
16:44 And Villegas takes it strong to the hole.
16:50 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:57 41-38.
16:59 Hopia off the pick and roll.
17:01 Sobra.
17:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:04 And here comes Rex Villegas.
17:08 Bravo.
17:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:11 No.
17:13 Bravo comes up with it.
17:14 Oh, Jake.
17:15 [INAUDIBLE]
17:16 Sanberra gets a stop right there.
17:21 Paiosing is the man of the quarter so far for the Red Lions.
17:26 Pull-up jumper.
17:28 Couldn't do it over Omadi.
17:29 And Omadi comes up with a long board.
17:31 Back the other way we go.
17:37 On this high octane first half we are having.
17:43 Valdez.
17:45 Shot from straight away.
17:48 Paiosing secures it.
17:51 Jacob Cortez has been a man factor so far in this game.
17:55 He's only attempted one shot.
18:00 Jacob Cortez hits the bat higher at that time.
18:04 Here comes Rex Villegas.
18:10 Only a second difference between the shot and the game clock.
18:17 Villegas setting the table.
18:19 Their shot clock is down to seven.
18:23 Villegas will be fouled.
18:27 So the Red Lions, they have several fouls to give.
18:36 They had two prior to that one.
18:38 So the next foul, they'll be in the penalty.
18:42 Yes, duty foul.
18:43 5.4 left in the first half.
18:51 Villegas to Valdez.
18:53 Valdez.
18:55 Paiosing with a long board.
18:58 And that's how we will end the first 20 minutes of action here inside the Big Dome.
19:06 Do or die Friday between LPU and San Beto.
19:10 These teams separated by only three points.
19:14 41-38 in favor of the San Beto Red Lions.
19:19 Alright, mga puso, abangan niyo po!
