00:00A lot of our starters in Hanzo.
00:02This is Celis, Gabby Cometa, I was talking to him.
00:07Tony Eno, some of them were gone.
00:09Their families were affected by the recent flooding around.
00:13So we're hoping that all is okay with them, and we're praying for all of you.
00:16Both by the earthquake and the typhoon.
00:19But we begin this ballgame between Benioz and Adran, both teams at number 2 and number 3, but with identical records.
00:28And again, higher stakes this time around for them in their second matchup of the season as they try to secure twice-to-beat advantage in Group B.
00:38A quick foul given up here by John Morales.
00:40You guys have Martin Aguirre, Coach Hammer, Martin Antonio.
00:43Coach, what do you expect in the early goings of this game?
00:47Well, first possession, it's a good call.
00:50The cross-screen, we don't call our referees.
00:54So they would let the players play.
00:56Oh, that time, over-committing was Tony Eno.
01:00And if you're Benioz, that's not what you want to see.
01:03Especially in the first 30 seconds, two quick fouls for the White Shirts.
01:09This is Coach Alan Ricardo.
01:12Ever since that 0-3 start, they've gone 6-1 since then.
01:18AJ Buensalida makes his move.
01:21Umani denies him.
01:23Buensalida.
01:25Shortstab.
01:26That was partially blocked by Morales.
01:29But there is another whistle, Coach.
01:31Three fouls in the first 34 seconds of the game.
01:35Yeah, three quick fouls.
01:36Yeah, three quick fouls.
01:37Para dito sa Benioz Blazers.
01:39And that's aggression for you.
01:43With, uh, let's try.
01:45And then engage their bigs nila.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Dalawang looks na agad.
01:50One from Kevin Santos and one from Buensalida on that left post-up.
01:55And this is Chad Gamad at the free-throw line.
02:00Again, he was in double figures.
02:02And early on, champion of Katiwalaan eh.
02:05Ito ni, uh, Coach Alan Ricardo at the two-spot.
02:08Phil Canadian, they know what he can do on the floor.
02:11Especially his, uh, sniping from the outside.
02:15It's a tough, really tough player.
02:19Yeah.
02:20Physical player.
02:21Full-court pressure being applied here by the Litran Knights.
02:29Easily ran across by Benioz.
02:33Morales, Enot.
02:35Again, the Blazers are coming off a loss against Salbera.
02:39So that's what they want to bounce back from.
02:41But Joanette Anceta nails it from just inside ER.
02:45Nice pull-up shot by Anceta on the floor of their offense.
02:49When Salida stops, surveys the floor, and gets it to his point guard, Titing.
02:55Gamad from the corner.
02:57Gamad knocks it down.
02:59Strong side help.
03:00Never leave the shooter open.
03:02That was an easy recognition by Manalili to the corner shooter.
03:07The Tran hitting their shots early on.
03:09Jomel left with space.
03:11No good.
03:12And there's a foul underneath as we go courtside for the first time.
03:18Here's Aaron D.
03:19Aaron, go ahead.
03:20Great to be back with you today, Martin and Coach Hammer.
03:23Bad news once again for the Benioz Blazers.
03:25As the reigning MVP, Alan Liwag, remains out for today's ballgame.
03:29Now that puts a lot of eyes on another big man of the Benioz Blazers, and that is Sean O'Malley.
03:34Sean O'Malley actually got a chance to talk to Sean O'Malley just before the ballgame, and I asked him if he feels any pressure with Alan Liwag being out.
03:42And the answer is, he doesn't have any new role that he gave to me, Coach.
03:46As a veteran, I want that challenge.
03:48In fact, O'Malley received a text from Coach Charles Jue challenging him, and even telling him, show them what you got.
03:55Even with all the pressure coming into the day, O'Malley still takes this as a normal game.
04:00And once again, will we see Sean O'Malley unleashed in today's ballgame against Letran?
04:04Back to you, Martin and Coach Hammer.
04:06Thanks, Aaron.
04:07Well, that is the expectation from Sean O'Malley.
04:10Now fully solidifying that center spot for the Blazers.
04:15As we see Alan Liwag here still nursing that left shoulder injury.
04:20For Sean, Coach, he's the center.
04:23He's no longer at the front board.
04:26Well, we saw it in the fourth quarter of the San Bede game.
04:30Basic basketball.
04:31They went for a cross, spin, pin, down, post-up.
04:34They've got a lot of points.
04:36They've got a lot of looks.
04:40This is going to be a foul on Rafi Semis.
04:44And for Sean, you know,
04:46he's looking at the Blazers getting the rebound and pushes the other way.
04:52He throws it away, though.
04:54Coach, for Sean, you know, a lot of people consider him as undersized.
05:00Especially against the likes of Prince Saluda and Kevin Santos.
05:03But he knows how to use his weight and weight.
05:08Remember, he's one of the best defensive players that we have.
05:12When he was with LPU, he can contain the ball screen.
05:15That's number one.
05:16He can switch on guards.
05:17He can be in front of the guards.
05:20Number two, he can be a post defender.
05:22So, he is a very good help side shot blocker.
05:24So, size is relative, especially now with the way basketball is played.
05:31And remember, first matchup of the season between these two teams.
05:34And his new one also didn't play.
05:36Sean Titig Manalili is able to score his first two points.
05:40And Latran is ahead.
05:427-4, first basket of the game for Titig Manalili, who is averaging nine assists per game.
05:51And his very impressive first year in the NCAA.
06:00We call him the best playmaker in college basketball.
06:05Am I putting my money on that?
06:08Okay.
06:09No question.
06:10Just by the effect that he has.
06:12You can trade him with any player in any school right now.
06:16And he would be able to run that system to a T.
06:19He just sees the game on a different field or from a different field.
06:25And Cheta, Enot, Enot drops it in.
06:30That's been a difference in the last few games for Tony Enot.
06:34He's been hitting his outside shots.
06:36And not only that, 23, eight, and two and a half assists a game in the past two games with Tony Enot.
06:42He's got a lot from Titig Manalili.
06:4610-7, tit for tat here in the first.
06:50They spray it to Morales, who drops in the triple from the other corner.
06:56I've been telling you, this guy is a very good shooter.
07:01He is a star in his role.
07:03He gets rebounds.
07:04He knows how to defend.
07:05Very important.
07:06And he knows the cracks of the defense.
07:08He's just in the gaps.
07:09What a great complimentary piece in this lineup of good Charles Chu.
07:14And Cheta will be whistled for the foul.
07:17And as early as now, with 6.23 left,
07:20Letran has two threes for the Blazers.
07:25And Panalili answers with a step-back banker.
07:32But these are the last three points of John Morales.
07:35And this is why he is in the starting lineup.
07:39And he lost a lot of weight too.
07:41He lost a lot of weight.
07:42Looks like he's in great shape.
07:44So it helps his game.
07:46Especially with the way the game is played.
07:49You don't have any bigs in front of you.
07:52You can see the tandem of Kevin Santos and Buensalida, Omega.
07:58Two bigs in front of you.
08:00So he's like four wings and one big guy.
08:03That's how he plays.
08:04Chad Gamad.
08:06We've got the start today with some early production for the Letran Knights.
08:12He only played seven minutes against JRU.
08:15Coach Allen with Manalili.
08:21Manalili has the basketball.
08:25Gets into the paint and puts it up and in.
08:29Manalili!
08:30That's maturity for Manalili on offense.
08:3514 to 10.
08:39Morales left open again.
08:43And he hits another three.
08:45So we've been countering shots here in the first.
08:50That's up to eight points now for John Morales.
08:53We have our first time out.
08:55Go for it.
09:05See you later.
09:08We're back to our fight and again, Tony Inot has been on fire as of late for the video
09:38Blazers and we love to see an offensive-minded Tony Inot here at the NCAA.
09:44Well, he's their point guard.
09:46Make no mistake about it, they are the best squad when he has a running point.
09:50They are at their best.
09:52And he's the point of attack.
09:5321-8 and 2 in 29 minutes against Sandeda.
09:5723 points a game the past two games.
10:00Eight boards, two and a half assists.
10:03That's on average, that's the Tony Inot that we know.
10:06And he's a mythical five-member last season.
10:10Get his first shot today with a board and a block.
10:14Going into our Unda's break, he only hit four three-pointers.
10:18Since the break, he has hit nine more.
10:22There's a team that needed that break and that canceled game.
10:25It was the Benilde Blazers for them to get healthy.
10:28It's very good then.
10:29It gives them more time to let Allen percolate than the Cogman.
10:33Oh, Tony Inot making his second triple in the opening frame.
10:39And Benilde takes over the lead, 16-14.
10:44AJ Buenzalita misses the short hook.
10:49Here's the Benilde Blazers.
10:52Morales in rhythm.
10:56Morales drops in the three-pointer.
11:01Trail guy.
11:02Just jumps down on top of the key.
11:04Ball reversal.
11:05Good pull of three.
11:0611 points in the first quarter.
11:09And Benilde has already hit five threes.
11:12Jimboy is in the game.
11:15Buenzalita knocks down the short chain.
11:18It's also a sneaky good matchup on to Posta.
11:21Umali and Buenzalita.
11:23Both big guys that would like to bang and get those boards.
11:27Buenzalita didn't even notice.
11:30He switched the guards.
11:32But mostly, he parked the left.
11:35Corner shot.
11:36Jomelancheta.
11:37It's a three-point party for the Blazers in the first frame.
11:42Yep, knocking down all those open shots that Benilde gave him strong side help.
11:46Laging dun sa mga kantong.
11:48Kasi tumutulong yung mga defender sa kantong pag may downhill drive.
11:51Six threes for Benilde.
11:54Six out of nine from long distance.
11:56Naktapika ni Sean.
11:59Here na si Ancheta.
12:01Morales unable to save the basketball.
12:04Teo Quahaw comes in for it.
12:07And placing Chan Gamma for more firepower.
12:11But how about the Blazers creating the separation through their shooting?
12:16Well, it's basic.
12:17It's basic.
12:18They've been knocking down shots.
12:19Ito po ka mga downhill drive.
12:21Pagka mga kick out pass on that corner pag humay help.
12:26Yang trail big.
12:27Laging libre yan on the reversal.
12:29Ang masakit diyan yung nasa harapan di tirahan kayo.
12:32Pero, you know Coach Charles say.
12:34He's killing this.
12:35And they know where the help side is coming.
12:38Oh, Panarili missing the layup.
12:42Here comes Jomel Ancheta.
12:44Ancheta dumidiscarte.
12:46Tahu kong.
12:47Thought about the three.
12:49Here's Jomel.
12:51Covered by enlarger defender in Omega.
12:54A pickpocket by Jimboi.
12:56Will be called a foul.
13:00Yep.
13:01So this is a guy that has to get going, Jomel Estrada.
13:06Before he went for the swipe.
13:14Another timeout here.
13:15The Blazers all of a sudden are ahead.
13:36Welcome back to the coverage and a guy who has had to defer to a role off the bench.
14:01Jimboi Estrada.
14:03Finding the killer in him.
14:06In the previous game against the Heavy Bombers coach.
14:08Really, he would get his touches.
14:10Make no mistake about it.
14:12He is their sixth starter.
14:15Ganon sila kalalim.
14:16Diba?
14:1720 points, 3 rebounds.
14:18That's the important thing.
14:19Assists in 24 minutes.
14:21That's a big number.
14:22When you got 23 assists in.
14:25I'm doing my mental math.
14:2715 assists coming from the most of all dominant players.
14:30That's a big number.
14:31Unselfish basketball.
14:32And again, we got elite playmakers from Letran.
14:35But Tony Inot continues his hot start.
14:37Third triple for Tony.
14:38And the lead is 9.
14:39Attacking that switch.
14:40Big to small switch.
14:41And Tony Inot is just a clean up by Mark Denver Omega.
14:42So now, Letran will try to delay Benilde's offense.
14:44Inot with attack.
14:45With the intention.
14:46With the intention.
14:47Playmakers from Letran, but Tony Inot continues his hot start.
14:53Third triple for Tony, and the lead is nine.
14:56Attacking that switch, big to small switch.
15:00He's just been shot by Tony.
15:01Manalini's cleanup by Mark Denver Omega.
15:07So now Letran will try to delay Benioed's offense.
15:10Inot will attack with the intention to pass it to Gaspai, and there's another whistle.
15:20This is the big to small switch.
15:22That's too far for Tony Inot.
15:25Especially, he's already seen the ball in two times.
15:30The moment that he sees the backpedal and he gets into that jump stop to pull up, it's a big deal.
15:37Torres to Gaspai, behind the back, extra pass.
15:43Yousef, you had to force it.
15:45Torres, and Santos secures the rebound.
15:50This is the best position to play for Jake Gaspai, for five.
15:55Because he's a guy that can switch on the pick and roll, can be a half-side defender.
16:00Beautifully done.
16:01Two-man game between Manalini and Omega.
16:04There's communication there.
16:05He doesn't know if he's going to switch or jump switch.
16:08Two times he's not seen the screen.
16:11Eusebio left with space.
16:13Eusebio joins the three-point barrage.
16:21How about Benioed's start in this game?
16:24Especially from long distance.
16:28Santos denied by Gaspai.
16:30And there's a whistle against Manalini.
16:3628-20.
16:37What a start here for the Blazers.
16:40As we take a look at this sequence, Omega getting it from Manalini on the roll.
16:46That's where there's miscommunication.
16:48I don't know if Torres is going to battle over or switch to Gaspai on the downhill.
16:53Because the simple, simple, when you stop and when you pick the dribble,
16:59the defense is going to have a lot of space.
17:02The defense is going to have a conflict.
17:04It's important to talk about it, but it's hard because there are drums.
17:06And that's why, you know, what Manalini is doing is so impressive, coach.
17:12The guys who are playing.
17:14They're veterans.
17:15Yeah, veterans.
17:16You can only get to play.
17:17And it disrupts, you know, whatever defense is thrown at them.
17:22Here's Omega.
17:26Offensive foul.
17:27On that screen, the screener, actually.
17:31Or is that still been able to screen the screener?
17:34See, Eusebio is calling here.
17:37That's his second.
17:38I think that was on Estrada.
17:39Oh, Estrada.
17:40Yeah.
17:41Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:42Jimboy, yeah.
17:43The cross screen.
17:45So, second one on Estrada.
17:48He has to be careful.
17:50Eusebio, hit one earlier.
17:52He's catching up here.
17:53He's got a ball on it.
17:54Picked up by Santos.
17:55Here's Peter Rosilio, pushing, pushing, and he draws contact, and a foul on the floor.
18:04Jake Gaspai on the seal of Mark Omega.
18:12So MDO will be tested early on here from the free-flow line.
18:16Jake Gaspai on the seal of Mark Omega.
18:20He's got caught in the shorts.
18:24That's why he's going to counter him.
18:30This is MDO from the free-flow line.
18:35Last time against Benio in their first matchup of the season, only played 13 minutes because he was in foul trouble majority of the game.
18:46I'm going to tell you, Martin, these two teams, they're the two that are the best players when it comes to talent.
18:51They're just talent.
18:52You just see by the names and by the receipts that they left wherever they played.
18:58They're the best players, these two teams.
19:00And it's scary to see them in the playoffs, when you match up this matchup.
19:04That's a hard time.
19:06Even though they're new, they're experienced.
19:08Yes.
19:09Oh, Justin Sanchez is now in the ballgame again, going off the bench today.
19:14Stolen by Rosilio.
19:16Good challenge by Sanchez to prevent the hoop.
19:19That's right.
19:20I'm being healed.
19:22Sanchez will force it.
19:26No.
19:27That's a little too wild for Justin.
19:30That's right, Peter Rosilio.
19:33Letran just down by six.
19:36After all they've been through here in the first.
19:38Jimboi turns, and Torres picks up the foul.
19:48So Ian Torres gets his first foul here, as Estrada made his move.
19:59Jimboi Estrada, in the free throw line.
20:03If he was born a little bit earlier, later, late 90s, early 2000s, his game would've been perfect.
20:13Perfect.
20:15Post-up wing.
20:17But now he's a good one because he has a mid-range.
20:19But he would've been a little bit more amplified with the way that he's playing.
20:24Because now he's a mid-range.
20:25But he's extended only three points.
20:27He's a mid-range killer, really.
20:29And we had, you know, slower pace before.
20:31Yeah, exactly.
20:32So he's still playing that way.
20:34He's still playing that way.
20:35He's still playing that way.
20:36He's still playing that way.
20:37Sanchez pulling the trigger and goes for the swish on the three.
20:44Ninth three-pointer for the Blazers.
20:46And that equals their production from last game.
20:48Wow.
20:49Could not make it.
20:50And that's how we would end the first 10 minutes of action.
20:55The Blazers starting off really hot here in the first frame.
21:03They're ahead 31-24.
21:05They're really hot.
21:07Let's do this for a longвинieważkeep.
21:09ecors конечно to the ball for court.
21:10Let's go and add in a little bit beef in the court.
21:13MUSIC PLAYS
21:15JASSI
21:30Let's go
21:32that little bumpbies
22:04Welcome back to our coverage.
22:09And now we shall introduce the members of the Mancom.
22:12Father Vic Alvo Jr. OP from Letran is here at the VIP Boxer.
22:18Dax Castellano of Delisog College of City.
22:21Second quarter.
22:23Also in attendance here, second quarter begins.
22:28This is the match between the Benil Blazers and the Letran Knights.
22:32Martin of the Air, Coach Hammer, Martin Antonio.
22:35Later on, we'll hear from R&D again.
22:38Coach, first quarter, as we see Gaspai here draw the foul.
22:43First quarter, it was actually Letran who got the faster start.
22:46And then, Benil caught fire from long distance.
22:51Nine three-pointers made for the Benil Blazers.
22:54That's 27 points out of the 31 if you're doing that.
22:58That's almost 90% of their total production.
23:02Nine free throws made for Letran.
23:04So, give or take, the scoring at the first quarter.
23:08You saw Sir Frank Ducey Jr. off Perpetual.
23:12His team will be in action later on.
23:13And Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo from Emilio Aguinaldo College.
23:21Imagine Letran shot it 7 out of 19 from the field.
23:27But Coach mentioned 9 out of 9 from the free pro line.
23:30They fully took advantage of the foul trouble of Benil early on
23:34because they were in the penalty with 6 minutes and 23 seconds left
23:38in the opening quarter.
23:40Jim Boy from mid-range.
23:43He drops it in.
23:44Automatic for Jim Boy.
23:47Let's turn you over to our courtside reporter.
23:50We got Aaron D on standby.
23:51Aaron?
23:53Coming into this big rivalry game,
23:55the Letran Knights are looking for redemption.
23:57And they did just that in their last one versus JRU,
24:00a team that beat them in the first round.
24:02Now they're looking to repeat that against the Benil Blazers.
24:05Got a chance as well to talk to Coach Allen Ricardo before the game.
24:08And I asked him, what's different from their first matchup to the day?
24:11And his answer was, we're healthy now.
24:13And Jim Boy Estrada is playing today.
24:15Speaking of Jim Boy Estrada, he had a great game against JRU.
24:18And tinanong ko siya about the thought process heading into today.
24:21Ika ni Jim Boy.
24:22Sobrang excited ako for today because wala ako sa last round.
24:26During that time, confined ako sa ospital.
24:28And gigil na gigil ako noon.
24:29Gusto ko lumabas ng ospital at matulungan yung team ko.
24:32Pao finally suiting up against Benil.
24:34Can he be the missing piece to get the W?
24:37Balik sa inyo, Martin and Coach Allen.
24:39Thank you so much, Aaron.
24:40Well, so far he's starting to make a difference for Letran.
24:45And for the Knights, like what you mentioned,
24:49have a chance to get revenge on a first encounter tormentor
24:53as Kevin Santos takes it straight to the cup.
24:56But back the other way we go, Justin Sanchez with a quick reply.
25:00Yup, early forward pass.
25:02Both teams scoring in transition.
25:05Isa, galing off a stop.
25:06Pasa kay Kevin Santos.
25:07Sa kabila naman, forward pass.
25:09Justin Sanchez, downhill drive.
25:10Walang ball stop.
25:12So score is 35-28.
25:15Blazers maintain the lead.
25:17Jim Boy.
25:18No.
25:20And Eusebio secures it.
25:22The Blazers are off and running.
25:24Sanchez.
25:27Sinalubong ni Mark Denver Omega.
25:29Let's check out this sequence.
25:35Kevin Santos running.
25:37Stop pass.
25:39Traffic enhanced.
25:42Treading the needle, you saw different arms.
25:46Doon sa path nung bola doon.
25:50Martin, three team fouls na na yun.
25:53Ang Letran.
25:55The sort of this quarter.
25:57Sila naman, Coach, no?
25:59Buen Salida and Quahaw are back in the contest.
26:03Ay, no.
26:03Si Luis Tapeno pa na.
26:05Yung pumasok.
26:06Pinalitan si Omega at Santos.
26:09Fourth team foul on Letran in the first two minutes.
26:12Of the second frame.
26:18This is too aggressive.
26:20Interesting, yeah.
26:20Too aggressive.
26:22But that's only one part of the equation.
26:25Okay, sige, mafoul ka na mafoul.
26:26You gotta knock down your free throws.
26:27You gotta knock down those free throws.
26:29Because it would be a huge disservice to your offensive packages and the things that you're doing offensively.
26:37Kung hindi ka makashoot ng free throws.
26:39Kahit ma-penalty pa pa na ma-penalty diyan.
26:43That's true.
26:45Only one trip to the free throw line for Benio.
26:48This will be their second.
26:50And Rosilio was called for a technical foul.
26:56And Ian Torres calmly sinks the free throw.
27:01So Benio now ahead by eight.
27:08And double black.
27:09Ay, para sa Letran na technical kanan.
27:12Tapos, yun na lang yun natitira mong foul to give sa second quarter before you enter the penalty situation.
27:18Ito na.
27:21Penalty na.
27:24The Letran Knights.
27:28With only two minutes and six seconds going by in the second quarter.
27:38So you gotta get a big inhale, exhale, defend properly.
27:46When you say defend properly, you pressure but you don't cross chop.
27:50You pressure, you don't put an arm bar.
27:52It's easier said than done.
27:54It's true.
27:55Kasi detalyan eh.
27:56Kailangan disiplinado kang team.
27:57You have to be disciplined.
27:59Especially now, you're behind the eight ball.
28:00Limang team fouls yan.
28:02Penalty, you're down 10.
28:05Ang hirap mag-effort pagka wala kang room for error.
28:08And coach, you're adjusting on the fly dun sa tawagan sa laban.
28:16Kung kailangan mong ibahin yung tendency mo, you have to adjust to it real time.
28:22Traveling pa.
28:23Ano lang nasa sa January game.
28:26Defense is all about being disciplined.
28:29May mga ibang ibang principles ng mga coaches that do you want to be aggressive, really aggressive.
28:34Do you want to play in space?
28:35Do you want to play in zone?
28:36Pero, it all boils down to one-on-one defense.
28:39Moving your feet, not holding onto your opponents.
28:41Walling up, taking contact.
28:43Yun ang pinakamahirap kasi yung taking contact.
28:45Pag binabangga ka, nanginangat ka.
28:47Dun ka na madalas mamapalo.
28:48Dun ka na madalas maahawak.
28:50Lalo na pag hindi ka ready.
28:52So that's a challenge right now for the Litran Knights.
28:55They are already in the penalty with a lot of time left in the first half.
29:00Ian Torres, laser on the three.
29:03And that enables Benio to build their biggest lead of the game, 40-28.
29:12Tapeno.
29:15Buensalida.
29:17Backing down on Gaspai.
29:21Buensalida.
29:21This is his move.
29:23Short hook goes in.
29:24Yup.
29:24Backing down on that left block.
29:26Getting into the middle.
29:27Traffic na nga dun.
29:28Pero he can shoot over the defender.
29:31Gaspai flips it out.
29:33Tawukom.
29:38Tawukom got the switch.
29:39He's got Quensalida on him.
29:41Tawukom.
29:43Not recognizing the mismatch.
29:45Again, you have to be smart enough to recognize.
29:49Oh, two fouls on Estrada.
29:51Big to small switch.
29:53Morales is going to post up.
29:53Give him one time, one bump.
29:58As we see this jump hook.
30:00Tawukom.
30:00Tawukomom.
30:00Tawukomom.
30:01Tawukomom.
30:01Tawukomom.
30:01Manalili.
30:03Straight to the cup.
30:04And with the left hand.
30:07So, two quick baskets for Letran.
30:12Torres.
30:13Swing, swing.
30:15Gaspai.
30:16Natapikan saligod.
30:17The defense of the Letran Knights as we see this downhill drive by Manalili.
30:26Full head of steam.
30:27Four of them.
30:28They're not going to do it.
30:29Five points on the first down.
30:31Defense of Letran giving up a lot of open looks from the outside.
30:34Coming off downhill drives.
30:36Skip passing and strong side passing.
30:38Unrecognized by the Blazers in a couple of plays already.
30:42Only shot.
30:44Jiboy over Tawukomom.
30:48That's an easy call.
30:49They would call that because you're jumping towards the body of the shooter.
30:53Especially for post-up guys.
30:55Wing post-up guys who would just elevate.
30:58What we can
31:02do is
31:03call.
31:04That is his cylinder.
31:08Buti hindi nga sa paan naglandi.
31:10So, two free throws for Jimboy Estrada when we return.
31:38Oh, FanCam tayo!
31:50Oh, you have beautiful faces all around PhilOil.
31:55And students from De La Salle College of St. Benil.
32:02And of course from Colegio de San Juan de La Tran.
32:04They traveled from Taft and Intramuros just to witness their team in action.
32:09And their favorite players, of course.
32:12Maming salamat mo.
32:13They know it's a big game, Coach.
32:15And they know their teams need a sixth man today.
32:19And that's the energy they are going to provide in our FanCam.
32:23Yeah, no, dapat kanyang.
32:24Pinadidjoin niyo.
32:26Yung nga sarili ninyo.
32:28But we thank you for joining us.
32:29And to those who are watching live on TV, Heart of Asia, tayo.
32:35Kanyang kami mapanood.
32:37And NCAA Philippines GMA Sports PH via live stream.
32:41Two shots for Jimboy Estrada who was done well in preserving himself.
32:47Because he picked up his second foul, Coach.
32:49Tail end of the second quarter.
32:52Dito.
32:54Disciplinado siya.
32:55Quick numbers reset, Martin.
32:5875% of the output of the Beneath Blazers came 10 three-pointers men.
33:0710 three-pointers men.
33:09That's crazy.
33:0971% shooting clip.
33:1272, 71.4.
33:13Good.
33:14Ganyan yan.
33:15Sa ibang games, sa ibang cases, pang-boom game na yon.
33:20Oh, yah.
33:20Diba?
33:21Maybe, they just made 10 three-pointers.
33:24One more than they had last game.
33:28So, Sanchez.
33:30Too many steps.
33:32Will give the ball back to Letran.
33:36Right here.
33:37Tumbled a bit.
33:38Nampaganda y'y sundod ni Pwensalita.
33:41Sasabihin ng coaches, huwag na wakasusundod siya poste.
33:43Baka mapihitan siya.
33:44Nampaganda ba.
33:45Off balance, Justin Sanchez.
33:47Turnover count natin.
33:48The Blazers have more.
33:52Manalili.
33:53Oh, manalili.
33:53Jim Boy gets to the paint.
33:59Pwensalita.
34:00Money shot.
34:01Nito ni AJ Pwensalita.
34:02Yup.
34:03Short corner.
34:04Just a little bit of a one step back doon sa dunker spot.
34:08Meron ka niyan pagka-traditional ka ni big guy.
34:11Pero ngayon kasi, iba na talaga.
34:14Naka-stretch ni mga bigs.
34:16Kaya marami rin talagang opportunities for guards to drive.
34:19And now, Letran tightening the screws defensively.
34:22Estrada no.
34:23Roque, the clean-up.
34:25Welcome back, Jun Roque.
34:27Another.
34:28Another.
34:31No, he wasn't competing.
34:32Oh, yeah.
34:33Another turnover for the Blazers.
34:35That is number 11 on them.
34:38And Letran is fully taking advantage.
34:40AJ Pwensalita with his six-point of the first half.
34:45And off the gym boy miss, the trailer, Jun Roque.
34:52So almost one is one.
34:54Nine turnover points out of 11 turnovers from Letran.
34:58This is keeping them in striking distance.
35:02By the way, it's been a 10-0 run for Letran ever since going down 40 to 28 minutes ago.
35:11And a lot of those coming, of those wild passes, being nailed.
35:20Manalili on top.
35:22Screen provided.
35:24Manalili.
35:25This is badly.
35:27Cometa.
35:28And Cometa has the free lane.
35:30And Cometa.
35:35Getting a stop there.
35:37And they score on transition naman.
35:39Their fifth transition basket.
35:41Fifth points of turnovers.
35:43Fifth point nila.
35:44That ends the 10-0 Letran run.
35:48Manalili.
35:50Roque from mid-range.
35:51It's good.
35:52Roque!
35:54It scares me even more.
35:56It scares me even more.
35:58Ganon sila kalalim na in Jun Roque.
36:00Apat pang lima pa nila na wing.
36:03Kasi he's also coming off an injury.
36:06So trying to get his timing and rhythm back.
36:08Remember, this is a top scorer of Perpetual a few years back.
36:13Mythical 5 member.
36:14Mythical 5, exactly.
36:16Manalili.
36:17Ah, Sean.
36:19Meeting him up top.
36:21Enot.
36:212-on-2.
36:22Sanchez.
36:23Yes!
36:25Good and selfish play by Tony Enot.
36:28Perfectly executed.
36:29Bounce pass in traffic.
36:31A fast blast here for Benio.
36:36They maintain the lead.
36:40Jim Boy.
36:43Still has it.
36:45Tapeno.
36:47Eight on the 24.
36:49Luis Tapeno will make his move.
36:51Called his own number.
36:52And the tip-in goes in.
36:54For Buen Salida.
36:55Activity inside the shaded area.
36:58Missed box out right there.
37:00Second chance points.
37:02That is number 11 for the Letran Knights.
37:06The lead is down to two again.
37:09Umali.
37:10Umali.
37:11With carved space.
37:13And he goes for the reverse.
37:16Me like it.
37:16Me like it.
37:18The big man.
37:19Big man.
37:20Delivering the points in this stretch.
37:23And the Blazers.
37:24Maintain the four-point lead.
37:25And he goes for the next step.
37:55We're back to the coverage and continuing our action here in the second frame.
38:04Sean O'Malley blocking Manalili with his left hand.
38:11And Manalili was looking for the foul afterwards.
38:17And here's Big Sean able to get by Buensalida on that post-up.
38:22That was good defense.
38:24Walling him up.
38:25Pushing him underneath the backboard.
38:29Looking at the footwork.
38:31Coach Jerry's voice was saying.
38:33Prince will also be able to cover.
38:35You'd like Big Guys to be able to move as nimble as possible.
38:41Both offensively and defensively.
38:43You're going to be a good shot.
38:44You're going to be a good shot.
38:45You're going to be a good shot.
38:46That's why he gets help side blocks.
38:48He's a good shot.
38:49He's a good shot.
38:50He's a good shot.
38:52Two good examples of that.
38:53Buensalida and O'Malley.
38:56Mid-range jumper.
39:00Off the rim.
39:02And here comes Litran.
39:05Manalili.
39:06Manalili.
39:08Matthew Oli secures the board.
39:10And here comes Cometa.
39:13Lobbing it up.
39:15Easy pickings for Buensalida.
39:19Jimboy to the corner.
39:22Roque knocks it down.
39:25Seven points off the pines.
39:27June Roque.
39:28Allow me to reintroduce myself.
39:31Well, for us, we don't need it.
39:36But in the NCAA community, they're going to see that.
39:39As Morales draws the foul in that sequence.
39:44Look at this.
39:47June Roque.
39:48This time from just inside the arc.
39:51And then, off the extra pass.
39:54That's the favorite spot.
39:55From three points.
39:58Corner.
39:59Pocket.
40:01And it's easier now.
40:04Ah, Karina.
40:05Well, I was in practice and I was in a workout.
40:09I was asking the coaches around.
40:10What are the two types of players that you want to join in the team?
40:14Hyper-competitive glue guy.
40:16And scorer and a facilitator.
40:19Letran has those.
40:21So, Manalili is a scorer.
40:23But he can facilitate.
40:24They have a handful of glue guys here.
40:27Kevin Santos, for one.
40:29Superstar in his role.
40:30That's right.
40:31That provides extra possession.
40:32And it's scary.
40:33Even the build.
40:34That's right.
40:35If you put Kevin Santos on any other team,
40:38he'd be the star of that team.
40:39Oh, yeah.
40:40No question.
40:41Robbie Celis.
40:42Three on one.
40:44And Morales.
40:45Count it, plus the foul for John Morales.
40:50Just being disciplined.
40:51Don't see ya, Morales.
40:53Running the lanes.
40:55Ang nangyari pa do na yun, oh.
40:57It's a fast break.
41:00Ang instruction sa kanya is to stretch out sa lapas.
41:03And then, pag may umatake, go inside to get an offensive rebound.
41:06Pinag saka ng bola, finishing it with a finger of 13 points.
41:10In the first half, with John Morales.
41:11Coach, ang masakit para sa ni Tran.
41:14A guy who is playing very well so far, Aaron Buensalida, just picked up his third.
41:21Eto siya ngayon.
41:22He has eight points.
41:24And Cyrix Celorio will check in for AJ Buensalida.
41:29So the rookie will get some burn here.
41:31So now they would run a smaller line-up.
41:35Santos will be posting up.
41:36Eto yung magiging flip nila.
41:38Or, they would run a five-out.
41:40Kasi Celorio, we've seen stretch for it.
41:42It's a little bit on the outside.
41:43Nakaka-dribble handoff.
41:44Yung yung skill set niya.
41:46Eto yun natin kung dadali nila sa poste si Santos dito.
41:48But still a lot of versatility for Teletran Knights.
41:53Here's the trigger by Estrada.
41:59Manalili.
42:01Jim Boy against Celis now.
42:05Crossover.
42:06Drive, floater is off.
42:08And Oli now.
42:10Manalili interferes.
42:12Behind the back.
42:13Pinakagat.
42:15Good recovery by Mati Oli.
42:18But Jim Boy will pull it back and reset the offense.
42:23Estrada.
42:25Celorio.
42:26Denied by Sean.
42:28His third block of the game.
42:32And that's a fantastic defensive sequence for Benilde.
42:37Good scramble for the Benilde Blazers.
42:40This was the kind of back pass.
42:42But great defense by Mati Oli right there.
42:47And then Sean Humani denying Celorio.
42:49Tony Inod.
42:51Miss Myers.
42:54Jim Boy nagmamadari.
42:56Manalili.
42:57Yes.
42:59Two.
43:00Plus one for Jonathan Manalili.
43:03Metran is within a point.
43:09Downhill and finishing.
43:10Taking the contact.
43:12Born ready.
43:14No?
43:14That's born ready.
43:17It's like the feel of the game.
43:20Other coach.
43:22And developed in the system of Metran.
43:25And his...
43:29It's a different vibe that he's giving.
43:31The aura.
43:32As the younger guys who told him.
43:34And to think as...
43:36Oh.
43:37Let me proceed to our third deadlock of the game.
43:4048 apiece.
43:41Letran climbing back from 12 points down.
43:45It was 40-28.
43:47At one point here in the second quarter.
43:50Letran Knights came back.
43:52Cometa.
43:59Being closely guarded by Manalili.
44:02Five to shoot.
44:03Enod off the catch.
44:05Tony loses it.
44:07Enough time to get it.
44:08Here you go.
44:09Touchdown, Santos.
44:10Yes!
44:13And Letran...
44:16overtakes at the buzzer.
44:19How about this?
44:25Again,
44:26court awareness for Manalili.
44:28Recognizing
44:29his running big, Santos
44:31was way ahead of everybody.
44:35And remember last season,
44:37Kevin Santos had a game winner
44:39against his Benioke Blazers
44:40on a final second shot then.
44:43That's right, that's right.
44:44Ah-ah.
44:45It's a bit late.
44:46This is Kevin Santos there.
44:4750-48.
44:49They're reviewing it.
44:50But from what we saw in the replay,
44:54clearly counted
44:55for Kevin Santos.
44:59...
