00:00 And of course JL Kapulong this is gonna be a test for the rookie against the
00:05 veteran. First crack at the basket here for LeTang. Here's Deo Quahau. Swishing.
00:13 Wow, that's really a lot of shots. They're all perimeter shots.
00:16 He's had different stops in his collegiate career. Talking about Quahau.
00:20 Here's JL Kapulong.
00:23 Adamson spent a year in their juniors program and in the seniors program as well.
00:30 Javier Habilionar will challenge Kapulong. Pump fake, scoop and the hoop for Javier Habilionar.
00:37 You can see Javier Habilionar's beast mode here. He's up and under.
00:42 He's leading Kapulong to that fake.
00:45 He really wants to get revenge after the opening basket here.
00:49 Aureliano at least for JL Kapulong. Habilionar retaliating right away.
00:55 And with a bit of flux.
00:56 Habilionar held on to that 24 point lead. I believe that was midway through the third quarter.
01:02 Villarente firing and knocking it down from Datong Aureliano.
01:08 Especially of course, Axel Durmal is no longer with them.
01:12 In the meantime, speaking of point guards, Kurt Ricks.
01:15 He denied it in the first pass. I admit that there was a baseline inbound.
01:20 Quahau from the top of the key and Quahau knocks it down.
01:24 Five early.
01:25 He's going to go for a drive.
01:27 They go to Zunga.
01:28 Zunga drives.
01:29 Zunga yes!
01:31 And a foul for Lars Zunga.
01:33 Lars Zunga is just a free-liver.
01:36 Malyari the drive.
01:39 Oh a confident move.
01:41 Very versatile. He can dribble, he can compose and he's also a defender.
01:46 That's right.
01:47 Quahau fading away.
01:50 Deo Quahau starting off hot.
01:53 Just hands active.
01:55 Villarente shot clock winding down.
01:58 Kapulong drops it in.
02:01 Player Grayson hits the back iron.
02:04 Saved by Monge.
02:06 And Grayson attacks.
02:08 He sends it out to Quahau who strokes it again.
02:12 From the challenge.
02:15 He's a tough opponent.
02:17 Here's the short stab from Clint Ariar.
02:21 Stephanie, thank you very much.
02:23 Well, they lost a lot of key pieces from their championship team as we see.
02:28 That jumper from Pasti Valencia.
02:31 Going to be more seamless on the court.
02:33 Grayson, again.
02:36 Here's the forward pass and Lars Zunga on the touchdown.
02:41 Letran has a problem here.
02:43 They're not passing the defense like Quahau, Santos and Monge.
02:49 Two straight turnovers for Letran.
02:52 Here's another one.
02:53 Pasti Valencia handles.
02:55 It's a four-on-one break.
02:57 And Danny Malyari finishes on the other end.
03:00 Two quick baskets for the Chiefs.
03:02 First for Letran.
03:03 Here's another one.
03:05 Pasti Valencia handles.
03:06 It's a four-on-one break.
03:08 And Danny Malyari finishes on the other end.
03:11 One of the coaching staff told me that they need to see how the players will react when Kapulong is not around.
03:19 And then they have to adjust on that, capitalize on their alibi.
03:22 He's not a scorer, but he's a team player.
03:26 And he's quicker on his feet.
03:27 Oh, Pasti Valencia.
03:30 Squeak. Oh, Abastillas with another steal.
03:35 Abastillas is on the move.
03:36 Sidesteps and able to make the basket on the other end.
03:40 Against San Beda.
03:43 You see how the defense is tight?
03:45 Yes. Kevin Santos.
03:48 Valencia is on the move.
03:50 He threw the ball away.
03:51 And here come the Knights.
03:52 They have the numbers.
03:54 And Quahau finishes with the left hand with 12 points in the first quarter.
04:00 A beautiful drop-off.
04:01 That's a basket and beyond for Josh Abastillas.
04:05 Letran is good.
04:06 He turned over, he was tight, the Aurelianos were forced to.
04:10 But that's their problem.
04:12 They have a problem with transition defense.
04:14 Unable to get back down on the defensive end.
04:17 Let's take a look at this sequence.
04:19 Let's look at the attack here.
04:22 Here's the catch.
04:23 Sidestep and then the drop-off to Abastillas.
04:29 Four seconds.
04:31 Monge going straight to the cup.
04:34 Nice move for Letran versus Aureliano.
04:38 They're looking for the first win in our competition.
