00:00Four sets over the Cream 9 Cool Smashers.

00:02No, that was a non-betting game.

00:04But you know, as well as with everybody else,

00:07all teams just want to end this elimination round on a high note.

00:12And we did talk about our four teams who have made it into the finals.

00:21But again, for the rest of the teams,

00:24going up against the more, I'd say, seasoned teams,

00:30it's such a great experience for them.

00:32I mean, just like that, look at Strong Group Athletics

00:35getting their first point.

00:37And what a dig there by Ahulan. Ball still alive.

00:41Soltones will choose to put it over.

00:43But Madrigal ends that rally.

00:46I mean, thank you for that, Franny.

00:48But that reminded me of, you know, the interview of

00:55the PODD player of the game, Savvy Davison,

00:58saying, you know, even if it's a non-betting game for us,

01:01we just want to end it.

01:02Nothing fancy yet, we're seeing from both these teams.

01:06Ka uli. To Onofre. Denied there at the net.

01:11Kaslan gets a check.

01:13Soltones was there.

01:15Manabat, soft tip.

01:18Success.

01:21A lot of variation behind her attacks here.

01:24Getting that point from a soft tip.

01:27That is our eighth, or their eighth point.

01:30She is a spectator today.

01:33So far, her team managing and has maintained this lead.

01:40And it's your final game day in this Strong Group Athletics.

01:45I know that I'm up against the second best blocking team

01:48here in the league.

01:49So maybe going into this game, I'll spike and attack

01:52the way I've never done before, at least in this conference.

01:55And really challenge, you know, the blockers on the side of Akari.

01:59Meanwhile, the advantage today.

02:00So this is just about ensuring, again, for our athletes,

02:05it's the most important thing.

02:07And recovery as well, no?

02:09That's right.

02:09I mean, it's a little bit novel also

02:12that we see each of the teams have more than 14 players.

02:16So, you know, there will be instances

02:19where we'll see how the players will make our teams spin.

02:23But speaking of making Santiago Madaba spin,

02:28I reckon in terms of attacking,

02:29that spike of the set is brought to you by Duncan.

02:37Don't forget to use the hashtag

02:40PVL 2024 and unofficially,

02:44happy fever.

02:54The balls to your middle blocker,

02:56because, you know, chances are if you set the middles,

02:59you catch the blockers off guard on cue right there.

03:03How cool and answered back, though, by Juanco.

03:08There is also that recognition, though,

03:10that they will need better passing for them

03:12to deliver those plays in the middle.

03:15Correct.

03:16Textbook play.

03:17Perfect pass, like you mentioned,

03:20set up for the middle

03:21as one of the outside hitters for today's match.

03:25I think a lot of people have missed seeing this.

03:29Definitely.

03:31A lot awaiting her first attempt later on, no?

03:37Pagbabalit.

03:37Here we go.

03:38Liban.

03:39Getting the set now.

03:40They go to Dindin.

03:42Easy catch up there to the middle.

03:45You see them actually look at Manab

03:48as we look at this hit from Manabal.

03:51You know, I can no longer remember

03:54because now, of course,

03:57we were so used to seeing her playing defense.

04:04With authority.

04:06Look at that this time from the previous set.

04:09I think that's something that we need to avoid.

04:12Really avoid committing these errors.

04:16Frukawa.

04:19Bumawe gets the point this time.

04:24They got a one-point lead here.

04:28Two serving.

04:29Hakulan with two points in this game.

04:34Tied with Rasnano, also with two points.

04:37Perfect pass from Nisperos.

04:39Perfect set to the middle.

04:42Maraginot, rather, playing also starting in this set.

04:47Nisperos.

04:48Yes.

04:50Up and above her blockers.

04:52Defensive.

04:53She's been doing the defensive role for quite some time.

04:57Sanraslan with three points.

04:59Setting us up to start here.

05:03Bersoza out of system.

05:07Fifi Sharma in the middle.

05:09Complete in attendance.

05:13Never missing a game.

05:17Oh, I was watching a football game.

05:22Of a strong group athletics.

05:24Pretty girl.

05:24Fifi Sharma sets us up.

05:27Bersoza rejected at the net.

05:31How cool on this time.

05:33Wow, look at the effort there on the side of the Chargers.

05:38Bersoza once again.

05:39Sharma was there.

05:42Back row for Nisperos.

05:44Romero putting the ball up.

05:46Raslan.

05:48Good exchange here.

05:50Oh, good one-arm save.

05:59Romero out of system to Bersoza.

06:02Rejected at the net.

06:03Once again to Bersoza.

06:05Down the line.

06:06That goes in.

06:08There's Akkari here.

06:09Two-point deficit.

06:14Oh, wow.

06:14Look at that.

06:16Maraginot taking matters in her own hand.

06:20The net really well.

06:22Hard serve from Maraginot.

06:25To Bersoza.

06:27Cuanco was there.

06:28In the middle.

06:29Rejected by Hao Kulan.

06:33Something that could be an advantage,

06:37like what we saw in the first set.

06:39Sultan is still on the service line.

06:43Oh, nice serve.

06:44But a good pass from Bersoza.

06:49Again, back row to Raslan.

06:52Malapit.

07:00Manabat.

07:02Manofer was there.

07:04Malapit will try again.

07:06Soltones pops it up.

07:08To Nesperos.

07:09Oh, nice coverage from Cuanco.

07:12Smart play denied there.

07:15Manabat.

07:17Romero with a dig.

07:19Bersoza.

07:20Rejected.

07:22And she gets the point.

07:26Oh, nice serve.

07:26Short serve from Bersoza.

07:3116-9 here in set number two.

07:33One set up as well.

07:35Bersoza with that first pass.

07:37Malapit.

07:39To the middle.

07:40Nice chase down by Maraginot.

07:41Look at that.

07:43Swing by Manabat.

07:45But what a way for Jaja Maraginot to control that set.

07:51Dolly.

07:54Easy pick up there from Soltones.

07:56They go to Manabat once again.

07:58Romero was there.

07:59Kaule.

08:01Malapit.

08:02Denied.

08:04You got Bang Pineda in here.

08:10There you go.

08:10Backslide kagad.

08:11But Fifi was there.

08:13Back set to Raslan.

08:16Kaule to Joy.

08:18Maraginot was there.

08:20Manabat will try again.

08:21Good check.

08:23Romero to Raslan.

08:25Denied again.

08:27Kaule to Raslan.

08:29Still denied.

08:30Great blocking from Akari.

08:32Bersoza from the back row.

08:34Baluton was there.

08:35Sharma ending that long rally.

08:39A couple of people in and out.

08:41Mixing it up with that nine-point lead.

08:47Miss cue there.

08:50Raslan finding that corner pocket.

08:57Of course, all these, it doesn't happen overnight.

09:00It is a process.

09:03You really get it.

09:04You get better at it in time.

09:07Baltizanzo.

09:10Last five points.

09:11Let's see if Jaja's gonna give a lot of attempts to Bang Pineda.

09:15I was waiting for that earlier.

09:18Ooh, a block point for Fifi.

09:22Sharma wants it.

09:24Nine-point lead.

09:26Nesperos with that jump serve.

09:27Wow.

09:29Free ball.

09:31Manabat was there.

09:34Bersoza popped that up.

09:36Raslan cross court.

09:38Nesperos was there.

09:40Bang Pineda, that was her first hit.

09:42Ooh, and a block by Sharma.

09:48It was a compliment.

09:49Yes.

09:51Raslan with that serve to Nesperos.

09:53Great first ball.

09:54Pineda rejected at the net.

09:58Coverage was there, but not enough.

10:00Bang.

10:00Even before, because she's not one of the tallest that we see,

10:04but her leaping ability.

10:07This time, still Jaja Maraginot starting in set number three.

10:13Bersoza goes cross court.

10:23No coverage there.

10:26You got Faith Nesperos here, jump serve.

10:31Bersoza with that pass.

10:35Ooh, Rebleza denying.

10:39They have to put a little bit more effort in,

10:41and they have to amp up their energy.

10:44It reminds me of my conversation with Coach Onyok before the game started,

10:47and he told me that he always tells the girls not to be,

10:50nothing is stopping them from going all out in this match.

10:54Now, this report was brought to you by the Pilipinas Live app.

10:56Get the most extensive PBL coverage for only 149 pesos a month.

11:00Back to you, Zian Anne.

11:02Thank you, Franny, for that insight.

11:06You were a passer back in your...

11:09Were you?

11:10Back in the day.

11:20If you're passing the ball,

11:24and you lose the chance to be able to set up the ball.

11:27So sometimes the coaches tell you to slow it down.

11:30You know, this is her fourth time serving already.

11:34When was the last time she really actually served in the game?

11:38But you're also very good ball control.

11:41Oh, yes.

11:42I mean, she has once been a beach medallist in the UAAP.

11:48And you know, they say if you're a beach volleyball player,

11:51you can really have so much control with the ball.

11:56You got Fifi Sharma.

12:00Romero was there.

12:02Oh, nice coverage by Kaole.

12:08From the back row.

12:09She's anticipating it too early.

12:12Those are the hits that are difficult to read.

12:15Yeah.

12:18There you go, Bang Pineda, playing defense, back row.

12:22Raslan will try again.

12:24And yes, she gets another point from the back row.

12:29That's zone five.

12:34Maraginot in the middle.

12:36And Rose Baliton powering through.

12:41Wonder what he's thinking right now.

12:45Well, they have such a big lead there.

12:48He is letting the girls make the decisions for themselves.

12:52And so far, it's going well for them.

12:58Good coverage from Juanco there.

12:59Making sure the ball stays up.

13:01Rebleza.

13:03Oh, this time tooling the blockers.

13:07All right.

13:08Call stays.

13:09Puntos para sa strong group.

13:12Good first ball.

13:13Manabat from the right.

13:14Easy tip.

13:15Lecauco was there.

13:17Bersoza with that pass.

13:20Oh, wow.

13:22Balita ng bola.

13:23Bersoza, back row.

13:26Manabat was there.

13:26Maraginot.

13:28Replay to Manabat.

13:30And she gets the point.

13:32A sign of a good setter.

13:34Always adjusting to all the balls that come her way.

13:40Raslan continues to score this time in front.

13:44A number of two attempts, back to back.

13:52Wrong read there.

13:57Still a good serve here.

14:01Babalik ng free ball.

14:04Maraginot.

14:06Nice read.

14:07Pineda.

14:08Goes crossbar.

14:10Her first point.

14:19Pineda.

14:21Oh, two points for Bang Pineda.

14:27Raslan.

14:36Don't forget to use hashtag PVL 2024 and our unofficial hashtag.

14:42Hafifi birthday.

14:44This birthday girl has scored five block points and four attack points.

14:50Jaja Maraginot.

14:52Setting up the serve.

14:55And she gets the ace.
