00:00 of the day. Letran versus Arellano, both teams coming in 0-4, hungry for a win. We'll see
00:08 who can break into the win column first. Martin O'Bier alongside the defense minister,
00:15 coach Jerry Cotinera here in the broadcast. And as we saw earlier, two courtside reporters
00:21 from both sides, Arellano, we have Gleisel Galpo and of course from Letran, Stephanie Benito.
00:28 Good to have you with us here and happy lunchtime. It's 1218. Thank you so much for tuning in live
00:33 on GTV via NCAA Philippines on YouTube and Facebook and X and Facebook at GMA Sports PH,
00:40 Coach Jerry. Okay, let's talk about the starting line-up of our match. Obviously,
00:46 this is going to be a great matchup at the center position between Javillonar
00:53 and of course JL Capulong. This is going to be a test for the rookie against the veteran.
00:58 First crack at the basket here for Letran, it is Deo Quahau
01:02 swishing the mid-range turnaround jumper. Letran opens the scoring right away.
01:10 He's had different stops in his collegiate career. Talking about Quahau, here's JL Capulong
01:21 showing us the touch.
01:24 JL Capulong,
01:29 without his son Adamson, spent a year in their junior's program and in the senior's program as
01:36 well. Javillonar will challenge Capulong. Pump fake, scoop and the hoop for Javillonar.
01:44 You can see Javillonar's beast mode here. He's got a fake up and under.
01:48 He's going to bring Capulong to that fake. He really wants to get home after the opening
01:54 basket here. For Arellano at least, for JL Capulong, Javillonar retaliating right away
02:01 and with a bit of flux afterwards and he completes it.
02:05 Bart, our league is good today. There's a lot of post play.
02:08 Yeah.
02:09 It's really a mess underneath.
02:12 You don't want to go home.
02:13 It's really for you.
02:16 Oh, the ball is tapped out. It will stay here at Arellano Chiefs.
02:21 We mentioned, if you guys were not able to watch that epic game between LPU and Arellano,
02:26 it was the Chiefs who held on to that 24 point lead. I believe that was midway through the
02:32 third quarter. Villarente firing and knocking it down from downtown.
02:39 Villarente has shown us the stability at the point guard position.
02:51 In the meantime, speaking of point guards, Kirk Raison stopping, popping and dropping in the jumper.
03:10 Follow on the floor. This is going to be on Kobe Monge.
03:21 And back and forth we go. This is the pace that we like.
03:26 Felix Villarente got the space he wanted, pulled the trigger and was able to find the target.
03:34 Here's Kirk Raison. He won't let the other team win.
03:37 He answered right away.
03:39 Kirk Raison, again, I mentioned in the pregame, looking for a more efficient game today.
03:47 Coming in, he is only 28% from the field.
03:50 Monge's steal was beautiful there.
03:54 Marto, he denied it in the first pass. I admit that Kobe's baseline is inbound.
04:00 Quahog from the top of the key and Quahog knocks it down.
04:03 Five early points from Quahog.
04:07 Natural shooter, Quahog.
04:11 10 to 5.
04:13 That outside shooting.
04:19 They go to Zunga.
04:23 Zunga drives.
04:24 Zunga, yes!
04:26 And a foul for Lars Zunga.
04:29 He's going to flex.
04:30 Veteran move from Lars Zunga.
04:32 He saw it. He's a big guy.
04:34 He attacked the lane when everyone was going.
04:37 There, no buy.
04:38 And how about this? Teo Quahog.
04:41 Firing early on.
04:44 But countered quickly rather by this basket of Lars Zunga.
04:50 This is Lars Zunga.
04:53 Did not see playing time towards the end of that game against LPU.
04:57 But here he is showing us the activity as he gets the offensive rebound.
05:01 He's not using it.
05:03 Lars is just a reliever.
05:06 Lars Zunga is just a reliever.
05:08 Malyari, the drive.
05:11 Oh, a confident move from Danny Malyari.
05:15 This is what I'm saying.
05:17 He's a three-way winged player.
05:20 Very versatile.
05:21 He can dribble, he can compose.
05:23 And he's also a defensive player.
05:24 That's right.
05:26 Quahog fading away.
05:28 Teo Quahog starting off hot in this one.
05:33 Three of three.
05:34 Two from mid-range.
05:37 One from long distance.
05:39 He has seven points so far.
05:42 Talambas.
05:44 Zunga, crossover.
05:48 Driving, stopping, double team.
05:50 Gets it to Kapulong.
05:51 Ball sailing out.
05:53 Last touch on Letran.
05:55 Five seconds to work with for the Chiefs.
05:57 Letran's trait, especially with his coach, Reyn Sibahar, he's always like this.
06:03 He's always square up, no one's going for a shot.
06:05 No one is lunging.
06:06 He's just hands-active.
06:08 Villarente, shot clock winding down.
06:11 Kapulong drops it in from beyond the arc.
06:16 And he showed that against LPU.
06:19 Nailing two three-pointers in the first quarter.
06:22 That's rare, Mark.
06:25 Kirk Rayson is in the lead.
06:26 Rayson will be found on his way up.
06:30 So, toe-to-toe battle in the first frame, Coach Jerry.
06:34 It's really expected because both teams haven't won yet.
06:39 So, they shouldn't settle in the fourth quarter.
06:42 They're here in the first-frame quarter.
06:44 How important is that for JL Kapulong showing us the range.
06:50 Of course, those big men need that.
06:52 As Kirk Rayson knocks in the first free throw.
06:55 Rayson coming in, averaging 16 points a game.
06:58 But he can do a little bit more, Coach Jerry, if we're being honest.
07:03 He's shown that here in the NCAA.
07:05 He's shown it in the preseason leagues.
07:07 And we're just waiting for it to translate this season.
07:11 But it's a different scenario for him, Coach Jerry.
07:14 Because this year, he's the go-to guy.
07:16 Correct.
07:17 All the defense is on top of him.
07:20 He's a markman in this league.
07:24 Rayson really needs to leave his team.
07:26 Lars Sunga tried to bank it home.
07:30 Gets his own miss.
07:31 Sunga couldn't get the follow-up.
07:32 Battle for the board.
07:33 It ends up with Rayson.
07:35 Kirk Rayson.
07:36 Crossover.
07:38 Drive.
07:38 Sending it out.
07:39 Monje.
07:40 Oh!
07:40 Denied by Maliari.
07:42 One more time.
07:43 It didn't go in for Monje.
07:44 Alampas secures it.
07:47 It's a little bit of a struggle, Mark.
07:50 The left-run.
07:50 On the side of the left-run.
07:53 That was great perimeter defense.
07:55 Soon by Maliari.
07:56 And here's the move by Villarente.
07:59 Passing it to Alampasana.
08:03 Nakumat na.
08:04 Bago pa maibasa neto ni Villarente.
08:07 All right.
08:08 Early timeout.
08:09 Halfway through.
08:10 Or at least almost here in the first frame.
08:12 Apate ang letra ng dalawa.
08:14 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:16 We'll take flight 'cause you're living.
08:18 Look at me now.
08:26 I'm flying so high.
08:28 I can see the whole world.
08:30 Look at me now.
08:33 I'm ready for victory.
08:36 It's my time, my turn.
08:38 Hero.
08:41 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
08:43 Come around for the feeling, yeah.
08:46 Hero.
08:48 We're back to the action.
08:50 Oh, more than just an option.
08:52 What a matchup here.
08:53 Tima Ongutan and Teo Cuahau.
08:56 Ongutan, of course, not a rookie in the NCAA.
09:00 He spent a season under his belt.
09:03 Last year, meron na siyang playing time.
09:06 Pero eto si Teo Cuahau.
09:07 Nagpapakilala sa NCAA community.
09:10 Both averaging double figures in scoring in the season so far,
09:14 Coach Jerry, this is a great matchup.
09:17 Pero nakauna na si Cuahau dahil parte siya ng starting lineup.
09:20 Yes, oh, parang mga shock trooper eto.
09:22 Mga bawat komponant.
09:24 Talagang paaasano doon.
09:25 Napakalaking pull to sa double figure, ha.
09:29 Parang sa isang team, talagang malaking tool na to.
09:31 Ito yung isa sa mga kailangan mag-deliver din
09:34 para makatulong sa mga starters.
09:36 Tima Ongutan is the second-leading scorer of Marileano
09:40 right behind J.L. Gapulong.
09:41 Eto naman si Cuahau, pakalawa rin.
09:44 Right behind Kurt Rayson.
09:47 Ati Lunar.
09:48 May go to Kent Ariar, who is a utility player.
09:54 Rayson hits the back iron, saved by Monje.
09:58 And Rayson attacks.
10:00 He sends it out to Cuahau, who strokes it again.
10:03 From the outside, Cuahau now with 10 points in the first frame.
10:08 Grabe yun. Galing yun sa flex play ng Letran.
10:11 Kaya yun, di na-anticipate yun ang pagpalo.
10:15 Oh, Javillonar is down.
10:16 Got hit in the back of the head.
10:20 Tignan natin kung ano nangyari dito kay Pau Javillonar.
10:25 Nasa ikod daw siya sa may likod ng ulo.
10:30 Or likod ng ulo o batok ang hahawak dito ni Javillonar.
10:34 Parang nabagsakan siguro si Pau.
10:37 So we'll see what happened.
10:38 And who made contact with him.
10:42 17 to 12.
10:45 Babati ang Letran sa ating first frame.
10:47 Let's take a look at what happened.
10:49 I don't think we could see it here in that sequence.
10:52 Eto, eto, eto. May kita natin dito.
10:54 Kapulong.
10:55 Oh.
10:56 Yeah, it was Kapulong.
10:59 Okay.
11:01 Ano yun, eh?
11:05 Siyempre, tinag ni Kapulong.
11:07 Minark niya lang sa rebounding.
11:09 Pero kaso baka hindi nagusto ni Kapulong yung pagtag.
11:12 Baka nakasobran.
11:13 Oh.
11:13 It was a retaliation yung ginawa niya to ni Kapulong.
11:17 Oh.
11:18 Pagkatapos nung slight contact ni Javillonar.
11:22 Kailangan mo i-tag e sa rebounding.
11:24 Oh, yeah, yeah.
11:25 Tag, close, backs out.
11:27 Eh baka napalakas.
11:28 Oh, yeah.
11:30 So Pau Javillonar stepping into the free throw line here.
11:34 Kapang official call, ah?
11:41 Di ba tinatawag kung i-upgrade to.
11:44 Oh, may foul?
11:45 Very vital to si Kapulong sa kaponan ng arellano, eh.
11:48 Oh, yeah.
11:48 Para nila madali 'tong letran.
11:50 He has to stay in the game.
11:51 Oh.
11:52 Coach.
11:54 Yes.
11:54 A disqualifying foul.
11:56 Disqualifying foul on number four, JL Kapulong.
12:00 Kapulong is out of the playing court.
12:03 Oh, sayang naman.
12:05 Elbow to the back of the head will send Kapulong out of this game.
12:11 So you mentioned the leading scorer and a vital piece on this arellano team
12:21 has been ejected.
12:29 Had a double-double in the previous game, averaging 12.2 points per game and
12:35 seven rebounds per game today.
12:39 At least at this point, moving forward, it's not gonna matter anymore.
12:45 Yes.
12:47 Alam mo, to siyempre sa mga big man, nasanay na yung mga 'yan.
12:50 Sa practice pa lang talagang 'yan ang training ng mga coaches 'yan.
12:54 Yeah.
12:54 Walang medyo physical talaga.
12:57 So, but, siyempre, may mga officials na dapat medyo ingat ka, lalo-lalo na key player ka,
13:02 hindi ka role player.
13:03 Yeah.
13:04 Lesson learned to para kay JL Kapulong, who is, of course, a newcomer in the NCAA
13:09 and in the collegiate scene.
13:12 He has been ejected.
13:17 Josh Abastillas coming in quickly for him as a billionare, misses the first free throw.
13:23 Pero alam mo talaga to si Pau Javillonar.
13:28 Proud nito, lagi to.
13:29 May nakakamangaan eh.
13:31 Every game.
13:31 Zero out of two on that trip, but they get another possession.
13:36 Patindi dito kay Pau Javillonar.
13:39 Kayan tumanggap ng tama ito.
13:41 Oo.
13:42 Hindi na pipikun.
13:43 Si Javillonar, physicality at mind games.
13:47 Yan ang challenge na pagkakalaban mo siya.
13:52 Here's the short stab from Clint Arial.
13:56 Yan ang mahirap.
13:58 Pag gina-double mo sa kick and roll to si Kurt Rayson, ipapasa niya yan.
14:02 Ayan, libre si Arial.
14:03 Alright, punto tayo sa side ng letraan.
14:05 Here is an update from Stephanie Benito.
14:08 Stephanie.
14:08 Miscommunication.
14:10 Tendency to collapse during the second half and failure to execute the game as planned.
14:15 These are the lapses that coach Renzi Bahar pointed out when I asked him kung saan sa tingin
14:20 niya nahihirapan ang team.
14:22 Isa rin sa mga ikinahihinayang daw ni coach.
14:25 All their previous games were close ones.
14:27 Kaya naman for today's game, e bawal na daw ang magkamale.
14:31 Maintain your intensity and communicate inside the court.
14:33 Ito ang paalala ni coach Renzi sa letraan na.
14:36 It's para sa araw na ito.
14:38 Ito muna ngayon, sparring ng letraan.
14:39 Balik na sa inyo.
14:40 Stephanie, maraming salamat.
14:42 Well, they lost a lot of key pieces from their championship team as we see.
14:46 That jumper from Pasti Valencia injecting some life in that Arellano offense.
14:53 Sa letraan, ang daming nawala key pieces.
14:56 Encara Litio, Cararizo, Caniu, Luis Angalang, Tommy Olivario nawala na rin.
15:03 New, same system but new pieces.
15:06 So, it's taking them a while to get used to each other and to get used to it.
15:10 But now four games in, they're hoping that the execution is gonna be more seamless on the court.
15:16 Grayson, nakaga ulit.
15:19 Here's the forward pass.
15:21 Lars Zung na on the touchdown.
15:24 Medyo may problema ang letraan dito.
15:27 Hindi sila bumababa sa defensa.
15:28 Katulad ni Quahog, ni Santos, tsaka ni Mone.
15:32 Two straight turnovers for letraan.
15:36 Here's another one.
15:37 Pasti Valencia handles.
15:39 It's a four on one break.
15:41 And Danny Maliari finishes on the other end.
15:43 Two quick baskets for the Chiefs.
15:46 Medyo may transition deep eh sa problema ng letraan dito sa oras ngayon.
15:51 And of course, they've become turnover prone.
15:55 Quahog.
16:00 Letraan coming in, averaging 19 turnovers per game.
16:06 And they're actually third worst in the league in that department.
16:12 So, that's something, you know, they're still trying to figure out.
16:16 And it's because of the continuous process of getting familiarized with each other.
16:22 But we have a timeout on the floor.
16:25 It's a one-point game with 2.48 remaining in the first quarter.
16:29 [Music]
16:39 [Music]
17:03 [Music]
17:07 Balik sa ating laban.
17:08 Fan cam muna tayo mga kapuso.
17:10 Ayan po yung mga umatend on a Sunday.
17:12 It's a good-sized crowd here inside the Phil Oil Egg Oil Center in San Juan.
17:18 And only our second offering today.
17:21 Dito na po sila na ng haliyan.
17:22 Yung audience sa atin today.
17:24 Friends from both teams, Arellano and Letraan, flocking the venue.
17:28 All right, warning has been called against Letraan's bench.
17:38 Or improper bench decorum.
17:40 Pumasok na para si Letraan ng kanilang first-year player mula sa Dumaguete.
17:45 Neto si Stephen Garupil who introduced himself to the NCAA with 11 points
17:51 in that Beta Letraan matchup last Friday.
17:53 All right, let's now go to Arellano, sa nandito ngayon si Glycel Calvo.
17:59 Glycel.
17:59 Don't be selfish and sacrifice for the team whatever it takes to win.
18:03 Yan ang patuloy na paalala ni Danny Maliari sa kanilang kumunan.
18:06 But with the unexpected turn of events with Kapulong sitting out of their game early on,
18:12 of course, necessary adjustments has to be made.
18:16 Nabangit nga sa akin na isa sa mga coaching staff na kailangan muna nilang tignan kung paano ba
18:20 mag-react ang mga players sa pag-awala ni Kapulong.
18:23 And then they have to adjust on that, capitalize on their advantages, and move from that.
18:28 Let's see how they will play out for the rest of the game.
18:30 And back to you, Martin and Coach Jerry.
18:32 Glycel, thank you so much.
18:34 Well, if you talk about the reaction of Arellano ever since the exit of Kapulong,
18:39 they've reacted well so far.
18:41 They've got the lead down to one earlier before the arriere basket.
18:44 [INAUDIBLE]
18:46 against the defending champions, and they've gotten a few turnovers in this stretch.
18:51 [INAUDIBLE]
18:53 [INAUDIBLE]
18:55 [INAUDIBLE]
18:57 [INAUDIBLE]
18:59 And he's quicker on his feet.
19:01 Oh, Basti Valencia!
19:03 Squeezing that one in!
19:05 [INAUDIBLE]
19:07 [INAUDIBLE]
19:09 [INAUDIBLE]
19:11 [INAUDIBLE]
19:13 [INAUDIBLE]
19:15 20 to 21. It remains close in the first frame.
19:19 [INAUDIBLE]
19:21 Oh, Abastillas with another steal.
19:23 Abastillas is on the move.
19:25 Side steps, and able to make the basket on the other end.
19:29 [INAUDIBLE]
19:31 At least, knock on the door.
19:33 Coming from his feet.
19:35 That's their veteran big, Joshua Abastillas.
19:37 Arriere, driving, and missing the layup.
19:41 [INAUDIBLE]
19:43 Chiefs have overtaken the Knights here in the first frame.
19:49 [INAUDIBLE]
19:51 Giannis.
19:53 [INAUDIBLE]
19:55 Rebounded by Santos.
19:57 And here comes Stephen Garupil.
19:59 Garupil again, made an immediate impact for Letran against San Beda.
20:07 [INAUDIBLE]
20:09 Oh, Kevin Santos!
20:11 Kevin Santos!
20:13 Getting that one on the roll.
20:15 And that's what he can give you. He's a high-flying big man.
20:21 Talking about Kevin Santos from Pampanga.
20:23 Giannis.
20:25 Magliari.
20:27 [INAUDIBLE]
20:29 Six to work with for the Chiefs.
20:33 It's now at three.
20:35 [INAUDIBLE]
20:37 He threw the ball away, and here come the Knights.
20:39 They have the numbers.
20:41 And Quahau finishes with a left hand.
20:43 Deyo Quahau with 12 points in the first quarter.
20:47 A beautiful drop-off.
20:49 That's a basket and beyond for Josh Abastillas.
20:53 Letran is good. He's got a turnover, a tight one, and the Aurelianos are trying to force it.
20:58 But that's their problem. They have a problem with their transition defense.
21:02 Unable to get back down on the defensive end. Let's take a look at this sequence.
21:07 Let's look at the attack. Here's the catch.
21:11 Sidestep, and then the drop-off to Abastillas.
21:15 And one opportunity.
21:19 Here's Joshua Abastillas.
21:22 One of the veterans, especially in front line, Coach Chico Manaba.
21:26 Used to be a backup for Justin Arana in season 97.
21:31 And Kate Flores.
21:33 They're now at one-two-two.
21:35 Will they get a little turnover here, or will they slow down?
21:38 Oh!
21:39 Monge recovers.
21:41 Rejected by Giannis.
21:45 Monge is now a larger role than Letran.
21:49 He was a bit of an ace scorer last year.
21:51 Monge is just a role player.
21:53 He needs a coach.
21:56 That's Kobe Monge.
21:58 Four seconds.
22:00 Monge going straight to the cup.
22:03 Nice move from Kobe Monge.
22:06 To give the lead back to Letran.
22:09 As we end the first quarter.
22:12 Knights held onto this lead 27--
22:19 or holding onto this lead, rather, 27 to 25.
