00:00where Chocomucho gets the first point.

00:02Now, Neil, a lot of that game number one,

00:06as we see Todd Scarless here,

00:08score the first point for Green Line.

00:10Reminded me of the finals last December

00:12of the seven titles of Green Line.

00:15This has got to be the toughest conference

00:17that they've gone through,

00:18other than the losses that they've had, obviously.

00:22And that is credit to all the teams

00:23that have really improved their lineup

00:25and given incredible challenge to the defending champions.

00:29They were at the brink of elimination

00:30against the Petrogas Angels,

00:32and that win just propelled them forward.

00:35When they won that nail-biter of a game against the Angels,

00:38they weren't that jolly,

00:40because they were just very serious

00:42because they want to extend this to a winner-take-all.

00:45I'll tell you a quick story,

00:46but let's finish this rally first.

00:49During the introductions,

00:51don't mind the crowd, the cheering.

00:54So maybe that has something to do with it today, Neil,

00:57for a team that's desperate for a win

01:00to stay alive in this series.

01:0215-9 is the score.

01:03Dina to Maddie, Maddie hangs!

01:06-...reception efficiency in game number one.

01:10She was an underrated player in game number one

01:13because of the performance of Gemma Galanza.

01:15Medyo na-overshadow yung numbers ni Kyla Tenza,

01:18but there were a lot of instances

01:20that she saved Green Line

01:23dahil sa mga depensa at yung mga hinahabal niya na bola.

01:27Also in check for the Flying Titans.

01:30Just enough balance of celebration and focus.

01:35Zizi Rodina, because you can't just put her in the left pin.

01:38She's very athletic.

01:40You can put a combination play in the middle,

01:43in the right side, even in the back row.

01:45Zizi Rodina, who looks very determined today

01:47after the loss of their school yesterday in the finals.

01:50They're probably feeling a little wounded

01:52for their school, too.

01:54Dots rolls it to the other side.

01:57Bumalik, Zizi with a dig.

02:00Domingo, Bumalik, Dina, back to Royce.

02:04Royce changes the angle, and Tenza was there.

02:07Risa tips it.

02:10I think they're going to call that one already.

02:12Four-touch.

02:19Once with the pass.

02:24Molde with the attack, sent back.

02:26They'll go to Tobino.

02:27No, they go to Zizi.

02:29Bumalik sa Chocomucho with another rehash here.

02:32Recycled offense.

02:34Dug by Tobino.

02:36Zizi again, rolls it.

02:39Dots will save this one, and sent it to Gemma Galaza!

02:44Na, isya pa!

02:45And that's the kind of...

02:48Get it, get it, get it, get it!

02:53Gemma.

02:55PDL, nakahatak ng konti do, Neil.

02:58Isa gilas on the left side,

03:00head channel management programming.

03:01Right in the middle, Ms. Shana G. Olaso,

03:04channels and content management.

03:06Signal TV, Incorporated, all in attendance here,

03:10watching this Chocomucho first set win.

03:14And when we use the word easier,

03:16we're talking about four, Zizi Rondina.

03:21Zizi tries again.

03:23The slide by Atienza.

03:24Thoughts on the counter-attack, bumalik.

03:31Kill bump!

03:32Sherry Nunag, 16-15.

03:37Ready for Coach Sherwin.

03:39They go back to Zizi here.

03:41Dug by Galaza.

03:44Nobody taking the second ball!

03:54Finally, a stop to the run,

03:57as Sherry Nunag hits that ball.

04:02Down by three.

04:04Here's you from the top from Sherry Nunag.

04:07They need more of those hits

04:09if they want to come back here in set number two.

04:12That's good!

04:13It's playable!

04:15Good reaction there by Chocomucho.

04:17Good reaction by Nunag.

04:19Michelle delays it.

04:22And Tina Wong moves away from the ball.

04:24Coach Sherwin-Meneses have worked for the Cool Smashers.

04:29Mapping Galanza, dishing out a couple of hard serves.

04:31Michelle Gumabao now joining the scouting picture.

04:35Bernadette Pons also helping in offense.

04:40Galanza joining in for the fun of defense,

04:42talking about mapping Galanza.

04:44It's going to be the end of set number two.

04:48Four-point deficit.

04:52Dug by Arrocha.

04:57Dug by Wong.

04:58Arrocha with a chase!

05:00Great pick up there.

05:03Rebound, deflection,

05:05back set,

05:07Arrocha gets it.

05:09And again, Wong,

05:11Madayag puts it away!

05:15These are the effective substitutions

05:17for Coach Dante Alinsunuron.

05:19Her main goal is to defend that floor.

05:28Sharp serve by Regine.

05:30Michelle deflected there.

05:34Cece from behind had to adjust though.

05:37Mafe able to dig it up.

05:40What a tough...

05:42Spank by Gemma.

05:44Tobino just sends it over.

05:45Counterattack here to Michelle again.

05:48Off the rebound.

05:49Wong.

05:54Too close to the net!

05:57Gumabao, second set win.

06:04Cece.

06:08Michelle.

06:10Cece with a dig.

06:12Tobino.

06:15Gemma asking for it.

06:16She gets it!

06:17And that's why anyone can score for their squad.

06:22The style is different, right, Neil?

06:26Gemma all alone!

06:28Nobody home!

06:31Scissor play, suddenly back to the left.

06:35Tobino with a good serve.

06:38Calansa.

06:40She's coming over for herself.

06:42She scored again.

06:43This time, return to center!

06:46This is what we've been looking for, numbers.

06:49When it comes to blocking,

06:50because every time she has a big number in the...

06:53Wednesday, we'll have the UEP...

06:56Game two.

06:57Yeah.

07:00Nice adjustment there in midair by Royce Tobino.

07:05What is your opinion?

07:07It's not as fast as Creamline wants this game to be.

07:11Just raise it up.

07:12That's what they're saying to players like that.

07:15Whatever.

07:16That's the mentality of 1CC Rondina.

07:19What a pickup there by Arrocha.

07:22But a chance ball for Creamline here.

07:24De Grito will go to Panaga, who puts it away!

07:2918.

07:32De Grito is trying to establish a faster...

07:35She might be the third person

07:38to actually get into the double-digit mark

07:39more than flying tight.

07:40Much needed.

07:42Ooh, very tight!

07:45Ponce apologizing.

07:46That's like the second tight, second ball.

07:51Valdez gets us going for this rally.

07:53General receiving.

07:55Sisi on the right pin!

07:56Good reaction by Gemma.

08:00Rondina again.

08:01Oh!

08:02What a spot!

08:04But it's still playable!

08:07Look at this!

08:09Choco on the attack!

08:14What a scramble by Creamline!

08:18On the floor for the Cool Smashers,

08:20but Cherry Munag was just so resilient

08:24in a transition.

08:25Look at that.

08:26She was able to backpedal properly

08:29to get into the proper form for that quick attack.

08:33Into an intense finish for the fourth,

08:36maybe fifth set.

08:37Who knows?

08:38As Tots skirts the net there, Tubino.

08:41From behind!

08:43Two straight points!

08:45They need to survive.

08:46Creamline.

08:47Oh, they need to survive without her in front.

08:50Issa!

08:51Blocked!

08:53Sisi from behind!

08:55Tots with the dig!

08:56Counterattack by Ponce!

08:58Bumalik sa Creamline!

09:00De Grito balik kay Ponce!

09:03And her good friend, Sisi Rondina, unable!

09:06With Bia, Regine, and now Mars.

09:11Sending it to Gemma.

09:13Ponce.

09:16That's a great decision.

09:17That was already the second ball.

09:20Ponce with a push.

09:21A chance here.

09:22Wong.

09:23Tubino.

09:25And Choco Mucho takes it too!

09:28They are in the lead, two sets to one.

09:34Panaga always with a tricky serve.

09:36Oh, nobody home!

09:38The ball is asking for it.

09:40That means they're ready for an attack.

09:42Right.

09:43Cricket to zone five, rather.

09:44The net moved, but it was the ball.

09:47Mitch, very close.

09:49Mitch keeps it alive.

09:50Chance for Choco Mucho here.

09:52Down three, with Sisi!

09:54Activated!

09:57Strategic here for defensive purposes.

10:00And of course, Mars can set.

10:02And will set.

10:03Fresh legs for Coach Dante.

10:05There it is.

10:06It's also a different tempo when Mars Alvarez sets.

10:12It makes it easier for Creamline to defend the attacks of Sisi Rondina.

10:16She's thinking of a counterattack!

10:20Ponce's production in every single game.

10:23People don't notice it, but it's a big impact for the Cool Smashers.

10:27That's why the production of the wings is high.

10:30Because she's doing well in her role.

10:34Check out the direction.

10:36And by the way, we are tied at 18-all, Neil.

10:41Carracha in the middle!

10:44We feel a little bit of tension here.

10:47Or more tension, I guess, would be the better word.

10:52Hatupino.

10:54Didn't go for it.

10:56So Creamline on the counter.

10:57Panaga!

10:59She deserves that point, Neil.

11:01Wants a game number three.

11:05General.

11:07Shaky first ball.

11:08Sisi will send it over easily.

11:10Kyle will go to Ponce.

11:13Sent back.

11:14Thoughts waiting for it, but they go back to Ponce.

11:16Inunahan yung blockers!

11:1921 serving 18.

11:21What a serve by Gemma Galatza.

11:24And Tom Ponce over-receives.

11:29Or are we going to a third game?

11:31Those are questions that we need to answer.

11:34Kyle, the thoughts over the blockers.

11:38And Molde could not keep it in play.

11:41So it's a three-point lead.

11:43Across court, Neil!

11:45The trajectory also is...

11:48The trajectory also is also an aspect you have to consider

11:51every time she goes for an attack.

11:54Trajectory and speed.

11:58Very tight.

12:00Chance for Chocomucho here.

12:02Sisi asking for it.

12:03Dogged by Ponce.

12:05Thoughts.

12:06Rolls in!

12:08What a smart play by Tots Carlos!

12:10Clutch!

12:11...conversion to send us to a fifth and final set.

12:15To a fifth and final set.

12:19Here comes Bernadette Ponce!

12:21With a hit out!

12:23And we are going to a fifth set!

12:30Issa receiving.

12:32Sisi.

12:34Back to Chocomucho.

12:36Maddie.

12:37Ooh!

12:38Two players stepping on each other.

12:40Maddie and Tang Ponce.

12:42For the franchise's eighth.

12:47Thoughts on the left side.

12:49Dogged by Madayag.

12:55And a free ball for Green Line!

12:58When it comes to fast transition defense.

13:04Seeing Shiki passing from the flying title.

13:06Right.

13:07Gemma digging.

13:08The pass was sent.

13:10And here comes Green Line.

13:12Looking for separation.

13:20Nobody home!

13:23Can't blame them.

13:27Kyle.

13:28Sharp serve as usual.

13:31Sisi.

13:32Really putting in.

13:35Three points away from an eighth championship.

13:40Good.

13:41That is a great and gutsy play by Dina Wong.

13:48Carlos is back.

13:49Dina Wong saw that.

13:51But Dina!

13:53Coverage there.

13:55Counterattack by Ponce.

13:57And she puts it away!

13:59In front of a capacity crowd.

14:02And a smart Aranetha Coliseum.

14:04Valdez serving.

14:07Wong chasing.

14:10BDL!

14:12Wins the championship!

14:14For Green Line!

14:16Green Line!

14:30That will be championship number eight.

14:33For the Green Line Kool Smashers.

14:36The first of BDL.

14:39As a Kool Smasher.

14:41And they're back on top.

14:42And how poetic is that, right?
