00:00 CJ Perez!
00:02 Head forward is the Beermans import, number 25, Benny Botryt!
00:08 Number zero, Tyler Bay!
00:12 Head center from Lubao, Pampanga, number 10, Ian Sanggalang!
00:18 You have to feel, coach, in games three and four,
00:20 it was a wake-up call for San Miguel Beermen,
00:23 who relied on their offense so much in games one and two.
00:25 Gio Alano brings a three-pointer here, it was 50% in the last game.
00:30 At that time, they went under on Gio Alano, forcing him to take that shot.
00:34 Fortunately, he made it.
00:36 Simon Ciso broke the press easily, and almost a turnover there.
00:39 Benny Botryt working on Tyler Bay.
00:41 Both former foes in collegiate level, Simon and Ciso, bundles up a three!
00:47 That's what you will get for Simon and Ciso,
00:51 you know, those very important three-pointers.
00:54 An important turnover here, Martial Lasseter, Simon and Ciso,
00:57 he's feeling it, and he gets it!
01:00 Back-to-back threes for Simon and Ciso, who's having his birthday tomorrow.
01:04 Of course, it's so good to have him back.
01:06 We saw he made a difference in game four, back to San Miguel,
01:09 but he could perhaps need more, and almost on cue, there it is!
01:13 Jericho Cruz making an impact right off the bench.
01:16 Because right now, Jumar Fajardo's being given a hot call press on his calf,
01:20 due to a tightening, so we're monitoring that constantly.
01:25 As Tyler Bay hits a big three here for Mongolia.
01:28 Gio Jalalo, he's with Tyler Bay inside, and he's given a foul.
01:33 And it's Jericho, pull-up, gets at the ball,
01:36 you've talked about him, coach, and it's Jericho, we gotta talk about him more!
01:39 Oh yes, Jericho has been shooting really well from the three-point area,
01:43 in fact, he's number two in the three-point percentage in the league right now.
01:48 Three of six from beyond the arc is Mongolia,
01:52 and Don Troiano hangs her back with three of his own.
01:55 Take a shot from that distance, and everyone gets excited.
01:58 But if we take a look at the actual point shooters in the entire league so far,
02:02 maybe underrated, so Troiano answering back with three,
02:05 and Jericho Cruz, block two!
02:08 We've talked about this too, guys, in the pre-game,
02:12 Troiano and Jericho Cruz,
02:15 these two players are really very vital for San Miguel in this game.
02:21 Well, the bench has been making a difference here so far, coach,
02:23 as Tyler Bay misses again.
02:26 Tyler Bay has six points in this one so far, Jericho Cruz from downtown!
02:32 But now it's Tyler Bay's turn. Bay, the spin inside,
02:35 and a great hand there for Chris Ross.
02:40 Tyler Bay will try to hit a three!
02:42 Oh, that's big. Mark Barocco was behind,
02:45 and he was able to deflect the ball.
02:48 Let's take a look at this. Tyler Bay hitting a big three-pointer here
02:51 for Magnolia after a little scramble.
02:53 And Ciso pushes that to Troiano, looking downfield.
02:57 Troiano, sanggalang in front of him, and unable to complete the pass.
03:01 Now on the run, Calvin Abueva to Tyler Bay. Bay with a finish!
03:06 Had some turnovers that they were able to capitalize in.
03:08 That's right, they were able to keep it close.
03:11 I repeat, the deficit management, as many vote right off the mark
03:15 from beyond the arc. Paul Lee has it here.
03:17 Paul Lee attacking. He has a size advantage over Simon and Ciso,
03:22 and he gets a bucket and one to stop the rampaging Magnolia.
03:27 Just like that, they gave a continued-- continued--
03:30 continual goals made here. 33% so far,
03:33 a memorable 21% in game number two.
03:36 Good rise or fall, Simon and Ciso trying to make it rise!
03:40 [crowd cheering]
03:43 Simon and Ciso.
03:44 [crowd cheering]
03:48 Finds a bull pass to Boatwright, but the ball falls to Marsha Lassiter.
03:51 That was a bullet pass by Simon and Ciso.
03:56 It ricocheted off a teammate, now onto another one.
03:58 It was supposed to go to Boatwright, but went to his teammate.
04:02 Tyler Bay finishing that one off, cleaning up the miss.
04:05 With the hesitation--
04:07 Oh! Sorry, miss there by Simon.
04:10 He found that lane wide open, and here comes Magnolia.
04:14 Oh, Mark Barroca tried to feed Rove De La Rosa,
04:16 but it could end up in a better shot!
04:17 Oh!
04:19 Especially when you're tied up by two apiece.
04:20 That's right.
04:22 Many vote right. They're just trying to get it going here.
04:24 If it could feed Simon and Ciso instead, and Simon!
04:29 Simon and Ciso, now CJ Perez driving against Calvin Abueva.
04:32 Oh, that's a tough look, and Chuma Fajardo
04:34 finishes in the second round.
04:36 Again, you just mentioned that, you know,
04:37 that those second chance points are really doing--
04:41 really helping San Miguel in this game.
04:44 Again, it's just so good to see Chuma Fajardo on the floor here
04:46 for the San Miguel Pyramid,
04:47 considering the injury that he is carrying.
04:50 Calvin Abueva gets the bucket and one.
04:54 Let's take a look at this again,
04:55 the effort coming from Chuma Fajardo.
04:57 Again, this guy can see him lead with his jump with his right foot.
05:01 Here comes Calvin Abueva.
05:02 Knowing they're not just incredible players,
05:04 but because of the legacy they've built for the franchise.
05:06 CJ added he knows he's got a long way to go,
05:10 but he's more than willing to work on it.
05:12 And this recognition might not be the focal point of his career,
05:15 but it might just be the first step
05:17 in getting to follow those legends' footsteps.

05:32 Thank you very much. That was Denise Tam with that report.
05:35 For CJ Perez has been the focus of our attention
05:39 for quite some time considering his BBC award.
05:43 Denise mentioned some of the big names
05:44 he's going to try to live up to here.
05:46 And with a franchise as storied as San Miguel,
05:49 it's no big surprise.
05:50 As CJ Perez is trying to play the break
05:52 to Marshall Lasseter for three and no good.
05:55 Yeah, speaking of CJ Perez,
05:56 he's been scoring on those ball screens a lot here
05:59 in the start of the third quarter.
06:01 And that got him this big lead.
06:04 Although he'll try to get going
06:05 because he only has six points here so far.
06:07 It's Kalman Agueva.
06:09 This plan is not just because they want Ian back on the stat sheet,
06:12 but it's his leadership they want magnified on the floor.
06:14 Ian said the way he's been playing
06:16 is his way of thanking the management
06:18 for such an incredible opportunity,
06:19 especially since when he was ill,
06:21 he didn't even think he was ever going to play again,
06:24 let alone be given heavy minutes and biggest responsibility.
06:28 Gentlemen.
