00:00More momentum. It's a game of momentum, especially now in our second round because you left the film and you also scouted.
00:07Now what I want to see with LPU is if they're going to try to get Montano going right away because against Sanbeda, they were feeding him that basketball in the first quarter.
00:19That's what happens when it comes to seeing teams being exposed Mapua in the pick and roll game.
00:27Let's see if LPU is going to screen and roll or they're going to go to the post.
00:33Meanwhile, Escam is finding Kalangan.
00:37Or Kalangan, excuse me.
00:41Kalangan knocking down that triple.
00:48Villegas.
00:50Dayleg.
00:52Dayleg backing down. Recto comes up with a steal. That's a foul on Jonathan.
00:56So different the initiation of LPU. They went, screened the screener.
01:00Dayleg.
01:01Dayleg.
01:02Dayleg.
01:03Yes.
01:04First.
01:05One on the Pirates.
01:06That was the first triple in his collegiate career.
01:11Icy Kalangan.
01:13Prior to that, he only took one three.
01:15Steady guard. Not really a shot taker here when he starts his career.
01:20But he moves the needle here for Coach Randy.
01:23The rotation of his backcourt.
01:29Villegas.
01:32Mapua starting with a zone here.
01:35And Clint in the middle.
01:36In the middle.
01:38Concepcion.
01:39Atake.
01:40Sinabayan ni Montano.
01:42Reyes.
01:43Bothered by Aviles.
01:44And Aviles has been solid this season.
01:47Rebounding and being a big body on the middle.
01:49In the middle.
01:50Kahit na hindi pa nagtatranslate sa panalo.
01:52He's a solid big guy.
01:54Genesis Aviles.
01:55Hey Coach.
01:56Montano in the post and making things happen as he finds Aviles.
01:59Nahanap na nila yung mix eh.
02:00Kasi they need to have a guy on the post attacking.
02:03Sinusumpukan nila nun kay Aviles.
02:05Pero si Montano kasi may tira.
02:07Kaya mag-create sa post.
02:08Saka marunong pumasa.
02:10Escamis inside to Recto.
02:12Recto.
02:14Binomba pa.
02:15No foul called.
02:16And now we go to Aaron D for his first courtside report.
02:20Great to be with you today Anton and Coach Hammer.
02:23The Mapua Cardinals now hold a 4-5 record.
02:26And that's not something you would have expected heading into this season.
02:29But something even more surprising for the defending champions is that 0-18 start against the Benilde Blazers.
02:35Now as they head into this game against LPU, the Cardinals are looking for their own strong start.
02:40And according to Coach Randy Alcantara, it all begins with effort.
02:44Ika ni Coach Randy na asa kanila ang problema last game.
02:47Di na nga kami makashoot.
02:48Hindi pa kami makabawi sa depensa.
02:50Ang maganda doon, all of that is in our control.
02:53Kung magpabaya kami today against LPU, hindi kami mananalo.
02:57Walang ganun-ganun na nasa baba sila ng standings.
02:59And then asa second place kami.
03:01Coach Randy also praised Coach Gilbert Malabana and saying that a team mentored by him will always prove to be a challenge.
03:08That's all from courtside.
03:09Back to you Anton and Coach Hammer.
03:11Thank you very much Aaron.
03:12Coach, to what do you attribute that lethargic start by Mapua against Benilde?
03:19It's not lethargic per se. It's the way Benilde started.
03:23Hindi naman about the start of Mapua yan.
03:27Siguro effort lang.
03:28Dahil nashoot din yung mga tira ng Benilde.
03:33At saka tatandaan natin as we see this replay by the book of Concepcion.
03:38Okay?
03:39In-review natin mga reference.
03:40But going back to that game.
03:41Tony Inot knocked down 3-3 pointers in that sequence.
03:44Allen Liwag scored the first 7 points.
03:46So, you can attribute it to the execution of the Benilde Blazers.
03:51Kasi nandudun yung depensa ng Mapua.
03:53Nakukuha nila yung bola.
03:54Pero mas maddiin lang talaga.
03:56And it's something of a payback for the Benilde Blazers.
03:58Yun yung tingin ko.
03:59Yung tingin ko yung 18-0.
04:00Ang kailangan nilang makita is yung 4th quarter.
04:02It's not the first quarter how they started.
04:04Because they got momentum in the 3rd quarter when they were able to provide stops.
04:08And that was a game where Mapua, in any point of the 4 quarters, did not have a taste of the lead.
04:18So, Benilde lording over the Cardinals in that finals rematch.
04:253-2 ang ating talaan. Mapua up by one.
04:28Escamis defending Villegas.
04:31Something that he has taken responsibility for defending the opposing team's best score.
04:40Kalangan with a rebound.
04:42Recto spins.
04:46Recto throws it out to Clint.
04:49Clint binagay dito kay Concepcion.
04:51And Concepcion will head to the line for two.
04:54And good presence of mind by Clint Escamis to look for that guy cutting on the baseline.
05:03Two free throws for Yam Concepcion.
05:07Contact body to body.
05:12So, Yam Concepcion.
05:14First basket from the free throw line is good.
05:20A 64% free throw shooter for the season.
05:24Concepcion has become one of Coach Randy Alcantara's most trusted words as he has only come off the bench one time.
05:44Clint with the deflection.
05:46Mananatili ang bola dito sa LPU.
05:4922 seconds on the shot clock.
05:53And another deflection that time by Kalangan.
05:58Shot clock still and 22 seconds.
06:01And this is what you're saying, Coach,
06:04that he's really good.
06:05He's really good.
06:06He's really good.
06:07He's really good.
06:08That's the bread and butter of their team.
06:10Because their coach is also a defensive player.
06:13So, it reflects.
06:15Montano.
06:16Dayleg.
06:17Dayleg.
06:18Finishing with the lefty lane.
06:20Right there.
06:21No help side on the baseline.
06:22On the rip move.
06:23And Dayleg using the offhand to finish on top of defenders.
06:27Reyes.
06:28Concepcion stepping back.
06:30More about the three.
06:31Binigay muna kay Escamis.
06:33Escamis contra Moralejo.
06:35Escamis.
06:36Kalangan.
06:38And Recto stepping on the sideline.
06:40Yung pag-open drop ni J.C. Recto.
06:44And off the reversal.
06:45But this was a move.
06:53Dayleg with that length and athleticism.
06:58Moralejo playing in his final season.
07:00For the Pirates.
07:01Villegas.
07:03Villegas.
07:07Villegas.
07:08Ooh.
07:12Dangerous drive.
07:15Renz Villegas.
07:16He put on a show.
07:17On opening day.
07:18At the Areneta Coliseum.
07:20Scoring.
07:21A game-high 23 points.
07:22A game-high 23 points.
07:26Guys like him, you don't want him turning the corner.
07:29Either right or left.
07:30Kasi sobrang...
07:32Pag na-dip yung balika, tapos naka-downhill na.
07:34Pababa.
07:35Ang hirap pigilan.
07:36Mapa-foul talaga yung kakampi mong big guy eh.
07:38Kasi maliksi na.
07:39Mabilis.
07:40Tapos ang tigas man ng katawan.
07:41Pababa.
07:43Renz Villegas
07:48this season
07:51second on the team in scoring
07:53behind Otto Barba
07:54averaging 14.9 points
07:57per outing
07:58and that 23 point performance
08:01on opening day was a season high
08:03for Villegas
08:04Concepcion
08:13Escamis gets it back
08:17from Concepcion Reyes
08:18that pass was
08:21so unsure
08:23Villegas
08:24no doubt
08:26on that finish
08:27I told you Sonic
08:29I'm so fast
08:30I'm so fast
08:31I don't have to turn over
08:32this pass
08:33but sure hands
08:35on the catch
08:35contact balance
08:38underrated
08:39it's important
08:40when you get hit
08:42you can still finish shots
08:43that term is
08:45upper body strength
08:46and it's overall balance
08:47because the whole body
08:48is going to be on the back
08:49so you have to finish that
08:50under the rest
08:51and just to make that
08:54catch
08:55with two defenders
08:56on his tail
08:57very impressive
08:58great concentration
09:01by Renz Villegas
09:02LPU
09:03with a four point lead
09:05with six minutes
09:06and 37 seconds
09:07to go
09:07in the first
09:08is
09:11we're going to see
09:13this
09:14the following
09:17is
09:26For Mapua to be able to defend their championship this season,
09:44they're going to need Cyrus Cuenco to be the player that he was in Season 100.
09:50That partner in crime of Clint Escamis, that assassin in the fourth quarter prior to this game,
09:58he was scoring in single digits, so he refocused a little bit.
10:03You have to, you have to be a little bit more demonstrative dahil point of attack nga si Sai Cuenco
10:08and we know that he is a very good defender, two-way player,
10:12and given the looks that he got against Benil, okay naman, pero yung fourth quarter lang talaga nila
10:18and Sai will always be an assassin.
10:21One of the guys that's not afraid to take and make big shots for Mapua.
10:26Yeah, it doesn't matter if he goes 0 for 11, 0 for 12, this guy will let it fly.
10:33Recto. Reyes.
10:35Good patience by Reyes, yun lang.
10:38Di na finish, pero he will head to the line for two.
10:40And for a very young big guy to be that patient underneath the basket.
10:45Dahil ganon din talaga yung naroon, yun lang.
10:47Hang on about this pass.
10:51By Recto.
10:56So, Basti Reyes.
10:59Sinks the first free throw, high arcing shot.
11:05And throughout the season, he lost weight.
11:07Yeah.
11:08He lost weight. He lost a lot of weight.
11:09It's very evident right now.
11:11It looks like, hindi ko alam kung nagkasakit.
11:13Laki nang yung binawas ng timbang niya.
11:15And it's better for his game, ha.
11:17Don't get me wrong, mas maliksi siya ngayon.
11:19And he can defend on this, yung mga switch na ganyan.
11:22But for Reyes to start, that says a lot about how much moving parts Mapua has here in Season 101.
11:31He was the fourth center behind Igleane, De Los Reyes, and Gulapa.
11:38It's starting today.
11:40Might be a better matchup for the more mobile guys ng LPU.
11:45Kasi LPU would be running and gunning.
11:47So, ma-may-expect natin that Concepcion, Sabasam, and Recto will be playing three and four.
11:55Na ipoposte nila, na ipoposte.
11:56Of course, Cuenco, Clint, and Cy Gonzalez would be rotating on that guard area.
12:03So, yung bigs nila.
12:04Baka mas gumamit ng mas maliliit na bigs si Coach Randy.
12:08Just to match up with the speed.
12:10Kasi yung Versosa, wing size din, 6'2 eh.
12:13Pero big yung nila.
12:20Oh, a lot of fouls for Concepcion.
12:24The score it there.
12:25Only fouls for number 34, Yung Concepcion, is second.
12:29Three on the Cardinals.
12:3418 seconds on the shuttle.
12:40Still a three-point lead for the LPU Pirates.
12:44And now, Andre Igleane comes in for Concepcion.
12:49So, now you've got Basti Reyes and Andre Igleane on the floor at the same time.
12:53I want to see this matchup, Reyes and Montano.
12:58Kasi yung Reyes mahaba na kayang gumalaw.
13:01Oh, wow.
13:02Good play.
13:03Aviles.
13:04Aviles.
13:05Going backdoor on Igleane, who is cold off the bench.
13:13Aviles.
13:14I remember him scoring the first basket of the season.
13:19Kalangan mula sa Canto.
13:23Reyes.
13:24Reyes is active today.
13:26That is a guy who looks determined to make the most out of the opportunity given.
13:35This was the baseline inbound play, attacking the, just inserted, Andre Igleane.
13:41Coach, this is the second time I noticed that the pep squads from both teams are starting
13:53the game, not banging the drums.
13:55Maybe there's a meeting in Mancombe.
13:56Last time was Beda Perpetual.
13:59Yes.
13:59And last year, it was Letran San Beda.
14:02Hindi sila nag-dramas.
14:03May meeting yung Mancombe, definitely.
14:08For further plans.
14:09You know what you like, coaches?
14:14The good transition attack.
14:17Goodness.
14:19The best in the league at that.
14:21Number one scoring team.
14:23Number one attacking team when it comes to transition.
14:27Feeling ko is, dalawa lang yung nakasulat kay Coach Gilbert eh.
14:31Sa mga coaching board niya.
14:33Run and effort.
14:36Hindi mong matatalo sa effort ng team na ko.
14:37Yo!
14:39Did you see that take off?
14:42You were just saying run and effort.
14:44Yun lang yung gagawin sa yun ng LPO.
14:47And if you're, if you didn't drink your vitamins, if you didn't have enough sleep the night
14:51before, you'd be in for a long game.
14:55And again, Mapua falling behind in the first period.
15:00At eto na naman, a familiar sight.
15:03Montano in the post.
15:04Oh!
15:05Basic!
15:08Basic!
15:09Up and under.
15:12Yun yung nawala sa execution nila.
15:14To start of the season.
15:15Hindi nila gano pinupuntahan si Montano.
15:17That's why he's iffy din.
15:19And then when he, when he was getting a little bit more touches,
15:23alaking bagay para sa kanila.
15:25Reyes blocked.
15:26And that's a good stop by Montano.
15:32Because if you look at Gael Montano, he is, what, pack strength, pack strength.
15:42Hindi siya malapad.
15:43Pero, sturdy pag binibigyan siya sa mga post-ups.
15:46And he has been a match-up nightmare for a lot of teams who don't have that 3-4 guy na matangkad, na maliksi.
15:55Kasi imi-match-up mo, big man eh.
15:57Montano, trying from the outside sa pagkakataon na yun.
16:05And again, effort plays for Benil, for L.P. rather.
16:08And during our post-game interview with Coach Gilbert Malamanan,
16:25sinabi na sa amin ni Bo Belgan,
16:26na yun talaga yung inaabangan niya, na bumalik yung dating Gael Montano.
16:30Because he hasn't been himself.
16:32Buti naman, pinuntahan mo.
16:34Yun yung kailangan.
16:34Kailangan mo rin talaga ng touches.
16:36And you need to have looks fabricated by the offense for you.
16:39Dailag drains it from the corner.
16:43And again, Mabua digging themselves into a hole.
16:54Another slow start for the defending champions.
17:00Lazarte.
17:01Escamis for three.
17:03Escamis grabs his own miss.
17:05Clint Escamis with a pretty finish.
17:12And LPU calls a timeout.
17:15And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:16And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:16And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:17And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:17And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:18And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:18And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:19And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:19And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:20And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:21And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:22And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:23And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:23And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:24And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:25And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:26And I'm going to be right into a hole.
17:27Josh Moralejo.
17:54Yan yung sinasabi ko kanina na line-up niya, na hindi na siya nakatingin sa basket na ipasok pa.
18:01And this was that, oh my god, OMG moment by Josh Moralejo.
18:08I'll give you a few stats on this.
18:10Opening day last year, LP was beaten black and blue by Sunbeda.
18:14Only guy who played really well and was not afraid was this guy.
18:18He was the third point guard na Pinasok.
18:20Season 98.
18:21So, spot minutes, competing, Moralejo, thumbs up.
18:26So, he has that confidence going up against that team.
18:30And then when he broke out, he didn't care.
18:33He didn't respect anybody that was in front of him and he plays hard.
18:37So, yan yung importante.
18:39It was just a matter of time for their team because they play really hard.
18:42Speaking of playing hard, Atom Barba going hard to begin this contest.
18:51I'm so happy to see him playing really well.
18:54Even in the losses, he's been playing well.
18:56Yeah, he quietly moved up the rankings in scoring.
19:04And Cuenco.
19:06Will that be the spark that starts a fire?
19:11Good actions there.
19:12And Cuenco denying Barba.
19:2010 on the shot clock.
19:22Versosa.
19:24Versosa.
19:24Pinasan dito kay Villegas.
19:26Villegas for three short.
19:29And Escamis has the ball.
19:33Escamis.
19:33Villegas.
19:35Igliane.
19:36Back to Clint.
19:37Clint on the move.
19:40Cuenco.
19:41Cuenco off the glass.
19:44And Villegas picks up the loose ball.
19:47Villegas!
19:52Pretty move with that ball fake.
19:56He's reaching back.
19:59So, what's the thing that's going to do in this generation?
20:01Because for us, Jason Kidd and Region Rondo.
20:04So, for this generation,
20:07ball fake at the front.
20:09In transition.
20:11Jamal Crawford for us.
20:13So, yeah, it was a pretty finish.
20:18The finish by Barba.
20:20The triple by Cuenco.
20:22And then,
20:23Villegas doing
20:24the Rondo.
20:27That's it.
20:28To answer your question, I don't know.
20:30No, I don't know.
20:31Because he's not going to attack the transition.
20:33Pull up three now.
20:36So, how about this number two?
20:37Five to one
20:38when it comes to turnovers.
20:39That's a lot for Mapua.
20:41Make that.
20:43I don't know.
20:44He's going to be a six.
20:46Cyrus Netura.
20:48Instant offense.
20:50I can only imagine
20:51the transition for Cyrus.
20:55Now,
20:56he needs to play off-ball
20:57and out of position
20:58as a power forward.
21:01See, because he is
21:02a natural
21:03one-two.
21:05Combo guard too.
21:06When he was in Perpetual,
21:07he was more of a
21:08point of attack.
21:09He's going to throw the ball.
21:10But with this team,
21:12the field is too long.
21:13So, he's just
21:14plugging in
21:15and playing his role.
21:23Netura
21:23missing on the bonus.
21:26Barba.
21:27Pirates ahead
21:30by double digits.
21:34Versosa.
21:37Origue pops out.
21:40Versosa.
21:42Rebound.
21:42Cyrus Netura.
21:47Lazarte.
21:48Wild shot.
21:49Wild finish.
21:50Wild finish.
21:52Just knifing that defense
21:54on that downhill drive.
21:55Attacking the miscommunication.
21:58Secondary break.
22:03Origue.
22:04Pulls up from way out.
22:06Origue.
22:07Drains the triple.
22:09His third triple of the season.
22:11Fake handoff.
22:12Three-point shot.
22:14Masyadong malayo.
22:15Yung defender.
22:15Netura.
22:22Netura.
22:23Susubok.
22:24Mula sa labas.
22:24Nothing but the bottom of the net.
22:36Netura.
22:37Netura defending Barba.
22:39Barba taking as much time
22:41off of the clock as he can.
22:43Ato
22:44Almost falling down
22:47And he draws a foul
22:49It's hard to attack the defense
22:53It's really necessary to put the logo
22:56Because
22:56They're very hard
22:58Outside shoulder
22:59Inside shoulder
23:00So if they don't get the ball
23:03They're going to impede the movement
23:05So if you're a bit slow
23:06You're going to throw the ball
23:07You're going to throw that
23:08But it's also a bar
23:11So when you make off
23:12You're going to throw the ball
23:13It's either mapa-foul sila
23:14O ma-out of balance
23:15Kaya yun lang yung pwede mangyari
23:16Kaya a reminder ng coaches is you
23:18You attack strong
23:20And be strong with the ball
23:22Mapua still has time for the last shot
23:27Here in the first period
23:29As Barba sinks the free throw
23:31Cuenco still on the floor
23:36Mitura
23:38Binalik muna dito kay Lazarte
23:40Cyrus
23:42Inside pass
23:43EJ
23:44Sa pass up
23:45And that looks like
23:47It's going to be goaltending
23:48Yep
23:50Coach Gilbert checking
23:55If it was a goaltend or not
23:57With this player
23:58Goaltend yun
23:58Goaltend yun
23:59Kasi tinamaan yung net
24:00And gumaw yung cord
24:02Even if
24:02Inanayin
24:04Nasaan yun eh
24:04Kahit hindi na pababa yung bola
24:06Basta tinamaan mo yung net
24:07Tapos gumalaw yung basket
24:09It would be considered the goaltend
24:10Kahit walang pag-asang mahulit yung bola
24:12So he fought for it
24:16He pushed for it
24:17Coach Gilbert malabanan
24:19Let's investigate
24:21Ito sumabit kasi yung kamay sa net
24:23Ayan
24:25Goaltend talaga
24:26Kasi sumabit
24:27Sumabit sa net
24:28Gumalaw yung ring it
24:29Pati yung board
24:29Tatawagan talaga ng goaltend
24:31That's why Coach Gilbert
24:33Asked orrique
24:35Kung
24:35Goaltend ba talaga
24:36O hindi
24:37Sumabit yung hinlalaki
24:38Sumabit yung hinlalaki
24:40So no surprise there
24:58Basket counts
25:00For Mapua
25:01So that was a
25:08That was a consistent call
25:11Kasi kahit na mga bata
25:12Pagkihinawakan mo yung net
25:13Tatawagan talaga yun
25:14Ng goaltending
25:16So good job by our officials
25:17At the end of the first period
25:20The LPU Pirates lead
25:22The Mapua Colonels
25:2428-21
25:26After that opening day escape
25:36Where Mapua won
25:38In double overtime
25:40In double overtime
25:4090-89
25:41Anton Ross together
25:42With Coach Hammer
25:43Merton and Tonian
25:44We have Aaron D
25:44With a south port side
25:46That's a foul on
25:47Cyrus Cuenco
25:49Pinafiel
26:00Pinafiel sings the first free throw
26:14Simon Pinafiel
26:20Interesting stat here
26:22Anton
26:22All of the 5 turnovers by Mapua
26:26Was converted into points
26:2810-0 points of turnovers
26:30After the first quarter
26:32And despite of that
26:33They're just leading by 7 points
26:36It goes to show that
26:37Mapua is right there
26:39They might be having trouble
26:41Executing the past few first quarters
26:44Not only Binyild and this game
26:46Even their two prior games
26:47That's how it happened
26:48So we'll see
26:50We'll see if they can figure it out
26:51And they can sustain it
26:52There have been a lot of games
26:55Where Mapua was down big
26:57And then they just came back
26:58But then also fell short
27:01F4 team din kasi yung Mapuwe
27:02Ang hirap din yun
27:03Nanghabul ka nanghabul
27:04Kakapusin ka rin eh
27:06So they just really have to find a way
27:11To avoid these
27:12Lethargic starts
27:14Barba from the logo
27:18Gonzales
27:20Lazarte
27:22Finishing with the left hand
27:24Good score there
27:25And good look up by
27:26Sai Gonzales
27:27Off that forward pass
27:28They go to the post
27:30Origue
27:30Pinigay dito kay Versosa
27:32Palingayan is now in
27:37Origue
27:38Susubok muli
27:39Versosa
27:40Offensive rebound
27:41JM Versosa
27:43Short on the reverse
27:45Origue
27:45Strong on the reverse
27:47And Versosa
27:48Steps on the baseline
27:49And we throw it over
27:51Right now
27:51To Aaron D
27:52Despite being the last place
27:54Team in Group A
27:55Despite going up against
27:57The number one team
27:58In Group B
27:58The LPU Pirates
28:00Pulled off one of the
28:01Biggest upsets
28:02In this NCAA season
28:03By taking down
28:04The San Bernard
28:05Lions
28:05Now with that game
28:06Done and over with
28:07They set their sights
28:08On a new goal
28:09And that's to prove
28:10That that win
28:11Was no fluke
28:12Mahirap manalo
28:13Pero mas mahirap
28:14To do it consistently
28:15According to Coach
28:16Gilbert Malabanan
28:17Dagdag din niya
28:18That we're going to
28:19Test that consistency
28:20Today
28:20This is the last phase
28:22Every game is important
28:23And kailangan na namin
28:24Ibigay lahat
28:25Alam namin
28:26The standings
28:27Don't favor us
28:27But we don't look at that
28:29This is a big challenge
28:30Para sa LPU Pirates
28:31But this is an even
28:32Bigger opportunity
28:33For them
28:34To get on a winning streak
28:35Back to you gentlemen
28:36That's exactly
28:39What LPU needs
28:40Thank you Aaron
28:41For that report
28:42LPU riding off
28:45The momentum
28:45Of that big
28:46Sanbeda win
28:47And see where
28:50They end up
28:51Gonzalez
28:52Creating space
28:54Pirates are running
28:56Peña Fiel
28:57Touchdown
28:58Peña Fiel
29:03Taking it all the way
29:04To the end zone
29:05And LPU

29:36We're heading towards the weekend, and the ladies are out here early at the Phil Oil Center in San Juan.
30:03Those pimple patches are a trend as well.
30:06You know, the stars, the shiny stars.
30:10Your generation.
30:12We're both in line of demarcation and generation.
30:15Same age but different.
30:17I'm the lower limit of the older generation.
30:20You're the upper limit of the new generation.
30:24We'll just take a look at it, Prea.
30:27Speaking of trends, that's what's the plan.
30:29Everybody seems to have that in their pockets.
30:33The small portable fans.
30:36It's a flex, the bigger your fan is.
30:42We used to play the game.
30:46Recto, faking the pass.
30:48Recto.
30:50It's already been on.
30:52And LPU gets another stop.
30:54Recto.
30:58Paligayat.
31:01Barba.
31:07Barba against Nitura.
31:10Versosa can go for the reverse.
31:12Malakas.
31:12Daming mga point blank shots na nakukuha ni Versosa due to his activity.
31:19And you gotta give credit to him.
31:21He started as an offensive rebounder.
31:23But now, he's getting a lot more involved in their offense.
31:28Almost a steal for Montano.
31:30No sorry miss by J.M. Versosa.
31:37Getting some encouragement from Coach Gilbert Malabanan.
31:43Clint Escamis is back.
31:44And entering the game for the first time, the 6'8 Drex De Los Reyes.
31:49With a clear height and size advantage against these Pirates.
31:54I'm going to give up one of the offseason in the weight room.
31:57You need to have a size.
31:58You really don't have to be able to do it for you.
32:01Mismatch.
32:02He's nimble on his feet.
32:04You just need to lock him up in the weight room.
32:07They're the two of Joe.
32:08That's a problem of the other teams, I told you.
32:12Drex.
32:13Had to take the ball out so he didn't have 3 seconds.
32:17Drex.
32:17Too much time in that shaded area.
32:23Calls for traveling.
32:24Mahirap din ni Usog si Aviles dahil naka-anchor siya.
32:27And he's heavy too.
32:29And saka naka-anchor eh.
32:30Naka-stay low, nandrun sa hip.
32:32Matututunan pa yan ni Drex.
32:33And hopefully he unlocks that part of his game.
32:36I'm telling you man.
32:38Every time we cover him, I'm telling you that.
32:41Montano.
32:42Airball.
32:47So look at this zone press half-court.
32:52Just to delay.
32:532-2-1 zone press.
32:57And then dropping into a...
32:59Let's see if they're going to zone here at the bottom.
33:02Ayan, naka-zone na.
33:05Gonzalez.
33:06Escamis gets it to De Los Reyes.
33:11Concepcion.
33:14Concepcion.
33:16Gonzalez.
33:16Recto.
33:19Interception.
33:20By Villegas.
33:22Josh.
33:23Moralejo with the finish.
33:27Pumosing pa sa ere.
33:29Ganda rin yung pasa ni...
33:30Vince Villegas.
33:33And off this deal, look at the pass ahead.
33:36Eh, tinuturo sa mga figure 8 drill.
33:38Pass ahead so that you would hit the finisher in stride.
33:41What is free throw for Josh Moralejo?
33:45And that was the 9th turn by Mapua.
33:49That was converted into a basket by LPU.
33:53Despite missing the free throw, that was a good take for Josh Moralejo.
33:58So now that total is up to 14.
34:01Yung points off turnovers that you mentioned.
34:03JC Recto.
34:05As it comes for JC Recto.
34:07Pumupu sa ere, finishing with the left hand.
34:09Eh, you know, it's JC Recto in a Jonti Miller with the highest degree of difficulties
34:15ng mga finish inside the shaded area.
34:18Yung mga binabali, ang taking contact.
34:21Yung mga Tony Inod, when he's healthy, past game, we saw it na.
34:25Yung mga isina-sau-sau pa, ibinabali, tumi-take ng contact.
34:29Yung mga, athletic ka rin kasi to finish those shots.
34:33First field goal of the game for JC.
34:36And he completes the three-point play.
34:40Last intercepted by Recto.
35:07Drex, now the drums are banging, Moralejo, handoff to Villegas, Montaño,
35:36cross-court pass, Dileg, Aviles from the elbow, and Montaño snatches it away from JC Recto, Moralejo, Villegas, short, oh, oh no, a collision between Dileg and Recto,
36:02now he's okay, both of them were going for a rebound, Jason didn't pass solid, he was able to gather himself,
36:17it's more of the shock of the contact, look at this, because it's different from the apex of your jump,
36:24he would just shake this one off, but that's a little bit, but both of them were going for the rebound,
36:31and he's just landing, he's just landing the right leg, so definitely he's doing his single leg RDLs,
36:41doing a lot of forward to be able to withstand that landing, because he's also a crash, he's also going to rebound,
36:51so we'll see if this would be an unsportsmanlike foul, but it looks like it's just a regular foul, oh, it's an unsportsmanlike foul.
37:03For just that, JC Recto is okay, because,
37:32Just looking at it, it's a scary sight.
37:43Recto able to get that ball to trickle in.
37:47So it's excessive hard contact, Anton.
37:50I was asking our officials here.
37:53Crashing for an offensive rebound and then a defensive player just jumps.
38:00Excessive hard contact.
38:01The point of contention of coaches is they will ask,
38:04how do you feel your momentum if you're trying to sprint for the ball and just jumping?
38:11But that was a good call.
38:22Play resumes.
38:25Escam is on the drive.
38:27De Los Reyes.
38:28Didn't seem to bother catching it.
38:33Concepcion.
38:34Escam is to recto.
38:35Blocked by Aviles.
38:36Concepcion with the foot back.
38:40Here come the Cardinals.
38:44From a 13-point lead, it is now down to six.
38:48Come on.
39:00Yes.
39:01You're down to 10-point lead.
39:04Take a look.
39:08Goodbye.
39:10Go ahead.
39:11Let's take a look at some of the ladies here inside the Phil Oil Center in San Juan,
39:36enjoying the action between Mapua and LPU.
39:41Later on, we have another exciting ballgame between the Benil Blazers and the San Mettorette Lions following this one.
39:52So it's the opening day matchups happening again.
39:58Second time this season that Mapua and LPU are facing off against each other.
40:03The Benil Blazers is like the Angry Birds.
40:16Those are the type of things that you purchase at a theme park.
40:23Yeah.
40:25Avines.
40:27Montaño.
40:31Moranejo back to Montaño.
40:34Montaño for three.
40:36Separation.
40:38Separation.
40:39That's what you need.
40:43You don't need to hesitate shortly from the Blanco's first attempts.
40:47I think he had four attempts prior to that game.
40:49J.C. Recto finishing on the spin move.
40:54Omar Gornan is in for the first time.
41:03Villegas.
41:07Escam is almost getting a steal off of Villegas and he forces the turnover.
41:17You can't tip your hat off then to Clint Escam.
41:20A lot of people are being debbie downers with this offense.
41:24But you have to watch him from both lenses.
41:27Even on defenses.
41:28Because that guy will not be able to do it.
41:30The effort to Clint to defend, you can't question it.
41:34So he might have bad shooting games.
41:36He might have the yips.
41:37But he can defend consistently the whole season.
41:42Meanwhile, Concef Sean cuts to the basket for an easy two.
41:48This is five.
41:49Contaño contra Concepcion.
41:56Contaño to Gordon.
41:58Escam is.
42:00With a steal.
42:01Escam is to Concepcion.
42:04Gonzalez.
42:09Now this is the one that we know.
42:12One attempt per possession lang.
42:14Yung kalama nila.
42:15And they forced fast breaks, turnovers.
42:19And they want to put pressure on you.
42:22On defense.
42:29Sidon Gonzalez finishing at the rim.
42:34The junior players are so good.
42:40That's the drip right now.
42:42There are drips.
42:43Baggy pants.
42:44Gray sweaters.
42:46Sweaters.
42:47It's like we're back in the late 90s or the 2000s.
42:50But unfortunately for us.
42:58Too much cloth for your old man.
43:00Too much cloth.
43:01Too much cloth for Coach Hammer.
43:03I must stick with my two XL shirts that fit me properly.
43:09But it's the generation.
43:12We went through it too.
43:15That's what we grew up with.
43:16Yeah.
43:18Escam is to Recto.
43:19Recto.
43:20Recto.
43:21Down low.
43:22And Versosa rises up.
43:24But before that, a whistle was blown.
43:26It's so loud that we can't even hear the whistle sometimes.
43:30So,
43:31So,
43:32Kanina pa na pupuntahan din ang Mapua.
43:33With their offensive sets against this zone.
43:36Yung elbow and free throw line area.
43:40Kay JC Recto.
43:42Ito yung kakapasang sila sa interior.
43:43Ngayon kailangan lang nilang maka-convert.
43:45Nakakuha si Pastor Reyes kanina ng free throws.
43:48Kasi sa pass up naman ngayon.
43:50Meron silang zone buster yung nabao.
43:52Wow.
43:57Sapasap had a 16-point NCAA debut on opening day against these same Pirates.
44:06Big reason why Mapua was able to escape with that double overtime victory.
44:12Barba.
44:14Oh!
44:16And the pressure of Sapasap making that pass difficult for Barba.
44:21That's Mapua for you.
44:22They won't let you give easy entry passes.
44:26Easy forward passes.
44:27They would always be on your grill defending.
44:32Gonzalez.
44:36Pass deflected by Moralejo.
44:41Moralejo just two points so far in this game.
44:48Recto.
44:5010 minutes.
44:52Concepcion.
44:54Gonzalez with a crossover.
44:56Gonzalez.
44:57Concepcion with a putback.
44:58Young Concepcion!
45:00So crashing the boards is young Concepcion.
45:03Really making a good account of himself.
45:09Right now he has eight points.
45:10Versosa.
45:11Seven on the shot clock.
45:13Montano.
45:15Recto gets it to Escamis.
45:16Mapua with a chance to take the lead.
45:18Escamis to Gonzalez.
45:19Gonzalez.
45:20Gonzalez.
45:21Gonzalez.
45:22Zabasap offensive rebound.
45:23Zabasap has a travel.
45:25Toe drag.
45:26Toe drag.
45:27Toe drag.
45:28Toe drag.
45:29Toe drag.
45:30Toe drag.
45:31Toe drag.
45:32Toe drag.
45:33Toe drag.
45:34Pass-up, offensive rebound.
45:36Pass-up as a travel.
45:40Toe drag.
45:42Could have been a good play on a different sport with that toe drag, but how about this move?
45:50And Concepcion scavenging for that offensive rebound.
45:56Going back to that point earlier,
45:58the lineup that's used for Mapua is less than that.
46:02Because LPU has a smaller lineup, but really pesky.
46:06So ngayon, palikan natin yung sa pass-up, recto, at Concepcion,
46:11magagamit nila ng mas magkakasabay.
46:13Dahil sumuson ang LPU, they need offensive rebounders.
46:16Tapos, magbaba nila sa depensa,
46:18kailangan nila ng mas matibay dumipensa ng on-ball.
46:25Barba, 1 for 2 today, 1 for 3 now after that miss.
46:2959.6 seconds remaining here.
46:32In the second period.
46:44Barba.
46:45Good on the second, back to a two-point ballgame.
46:48One ball.
46:50And one game, Barba.
46:52Small ball lineup for the Cardinals.
47:00No center on the floor.
47:01And you can say the same for the LPU Pirates.
47:07Yep.
47:08Sabasa, posting up Barba.
47:12Concepcion!
47:12He has put Mapua on his back in this period.
47:20Pagkatinignan nila yung Mapua, especially si Concepcion.
47:23He moves like a 3.
47:25But he is more of a 4 and 5 when he plays offensive rebounder, mobile, can dribble handoff.
47:33And he's so long, so he plays bigger than his listed size.
47:37And Concepcion gives Mapua their first lead since 3-0 in the first quarter.
47:49So, 11 points for Concepcion.
47:51Or rather, he just tied the game.
47:55It's 4-0 right now.
48:06Alright, so they adjusted the score.
48:09Mapua, yes, they did take the lead off of that Concepcion free throw.
48:132-0, Earl Zapasa, penalty.
48:162-0, Earl Zapasa.
48:192-0 for Redsville Yegans.
48:25Concepcion was Mapua's biggest X-factor during their championship run.
48:30Because you're going to be busy with Hobilia.
48:34You are busy with Mangobat, Escamis, and Cuenco.
48:38And then, recto.
48:39And then, when you start with Concepcion, you won't do it.
48:41You won't get extra possession.
48:43But the X-factor's biggest X-factor was 3 points.
48:46And Concepcion, 2-0, Igliani in the finals.
48:49Back breakers.
48:51Yeah, that Igliani won.
48:54Win in that game, bro.
48:56You fake handoff to 3 points.
48:58That came from out of nowhere.
49:00Overboard and coming headquarter in 5 minutes.
49:11Saka, 8-8 lang yung main 3-pointers ni Andre the whole season.
49:162-0, Igliani in the finals.
49:17Finals game 2.
49:19Cuenco.
49:21Netura for 3.
49:23In and out.
49:25Versoza with a board.
49:33Peña Fiel.
49:34Nabasa.
49:36Pero, hindi na secure.
49:41And that will do it.
