00:00 We haven't seen Cortez thus far but Puno has been a factor.
00:07 22 to 9 to start this second quarter with San Beto in the midst of a 13 to 2 run.
00:16 Let's see how the EAC will respond.
00:22 Ochavo against Puno.
00:26 Oh the shimmy by Guy Ochavo.
00:30 Erlan Umpad unable to get that second serving to fall.
00:34 Look at the height though. I'm just looking at Hopia and Puno.
00:42 Although the backcourt may not be big.
00:45 If that's how you play, it was Jacob Cortez!
00:49 He was able to finish the two.
00:54 I'll stop there.
00:56 You've got huge bigs.
00:58 Even if the guards are small, you know that the bigs are protecting the bigs.
01:02 You can't leave the bigs when the guards are open.
01:07 They can drop you.
01:09 You'll choose who you'll defend against.
01:13 Jacob Cortez is good at reading the defense.
01:18 He even faked it.
01:21 Lizelle Nierves is standing by with the support.
01:24 The sweat and skill.
01:26 That's why San Beto and Lions gave their all in their ensayo.
01:29 They showed that they are hungry to get the win.
01:33 Peter Alfaro mentioned that they fixed their mindset and their shortcomings during their last game.
01:40 We didn't follow the tendencies of the schemes that the coaches gave us.
01:44 That's why we lost.
01:45 One factor that they worked on was to dictate the game early and stop the main men and limit the generals movements.
01:50 Red Lions will be more intense and aggressive in this game today.
01:53 Because with all the teams neck and neck in the standings, Jomel Puno told me that it's going to be a race for the fourth spot below.
01:58 Let's learn from our losses and move forward.
02:00 That's all from the side of the Red Lions. Back to you Chuck and Prince.
02:03 Thank you so much Lizelle.
02:05 Jomel Puno of course has been a factor thus far for San Beto.
02:11 But it has been the guys that have stood out for the Red Lions.
02:14 Definitely has been Clifford Hopia. Six points already. Three rebounds in one block.
02:20 He has just been a menace in the paint thus far.
02:23 Oseho.
02:26 That is a quick double team leading to a turnover.
02:31 Dangerous dribble there by Paiyosing.
02:37 And we have a turnover.
02:40 I'll just mention that Coach Yuri and I were talking about the switch-ups in the offense earlier.
02:45 But if you look at the play before this turnover, they have two fouls.
02:50 Why do the defense have a foul?
02:53 It means that there are instructions that they need to follow and they need to tighten the defense.
02:58 Now they are adjusting to the defense.
03:00 Maybe because they have a sizable lead.
03:02 But you can see how much Coach Yuri wants to set a tone in this game as early as now.
03:10 Oh, they definitely did because they have already been able to lord it over San Beto.
03:15 Especially the rebounds are up 16-11.
03:17 What was the response of the EAC? Let's send it over to Diana Iqbal for the scoop.
03:23 While the EAC Generals made a promising start compared to their performance last season,
03:28 that team is not ready to relax just yet because of the post of Coach Yuri Son.
03:32 They are still far from their ultimate goal.
03:35 Anything Chuck and Prince, their previous matches, won't leave the Generals with a lot of work on moving forward.
03:41 This is just the beginning of players' improvement in terms of decision-making,
03:44 lessening their turnovers and team fouls, and of course, discipline on defense.
03:49 The only thing that they want to do is to carry on the momentum from their last win here in their game against San Beto Squad.
03:56 That's the news on this side. Back to you, Chuck.
03:58 Thank you so much, Diana, for sharing that with us.
04:02 The EAC is looking to really fine-tune a lot of what they're doing right now as you take a look.
04:07 At the ball movement of both squads leading to that nice little floater from Klipper.
04:13 Opia on the other side, of course.
04:15 Erlan Umpad able to get that one over the big boy.
04:18 Erlan Umpad really is the only big man who can match the height of Opia, Andrada, and Puno as well.
04:29 Jose, oh no, no. He's been caught off guard on defense.
04:32 That's why it's a big deal to have a big man standing there.
04:35 You don't need to follow, you don't need to jump, you don't need to pass, you just need to raise your hand.
04:40 Because that's all we need to disrupt the opponent's shot.
04:44 And speaking of Jacob Cortez, who's been quiet since the start.
04:52 The offense is clicking, so there's no need to go beast mode.
04:59 Umpad unable to get that shot to fall.
05:03 You know when you look at Erlan Umpad, Prince, I'm sure he's a prospect that a lot of big men coaches would love to work with.
05:10 Because he has the athleticism and the size, but the offense just hasn't come together yet.
05:15 Yes, yes. Basically, we can see the potential that this player has.
05:22 Those are the types of players that coaches are really looking for.
05:26 Like you mentioned earlier, those are the project players.
05:29 You'll start with them having the skills, the basics, but you'll really fine tune them.
05:36 You'll find out what they can do to become a specialty in the court.
05:42 Josejo has struggled so far against the defense of the big men of San Benna.
05:52 Maguliano, Loristo for EAC, Buntapay for San Benna.
06:05 He's in our game.
06:08 If you think about it, you'll have Hopia, but you'll have Buntapay, and you'll have Andrada inside.
06:15 You won't be able to see their height go down.
06:18 They're still there, and at the same time, they're running, and they're under pressure on the defense.
06:23 Beautiful off-ball movement there, but a miss from Machavo. Maguliano can get the mini-ball.
06:32 Almost a turnover.
06:35 Royo, spin! What a move by Royo!
06:42 It's not over yet.
06:44 Boy, Aaron Royo has been the magic punot thus far for Gochuri.
06:53 The spinner Rooney just couldn't kiss it off the glass.
06:57 I'll just mention it, he's number 77, but the move he did, it's like number 11.
07:03 He's like Ryu, not Luka.
07:06 He's a fast player.

07:54 We talked about guys like Erlan Umpad in our previous discussion.
08:07 It's important that the transition continues for EAC Prince because these are the two star players,
08:15 leading scorers, leading rebounders, all of them for EAC and JP Maguliano and Nat Cosejo
08:21 who will be moving on after this season in NCAA.
08:26 You don't want to waste the transition.
08:30 This has been such a great season for EAC.
08:33 They'll be back in the SQ1 next season. Of course, we don't want that.
08:37 This is their best stepping stone and chance to hone their skills and talent
08:45 that they have to bring to the next level.
08:47 They need to be consistent because when it comes to the next level,
08:51 like you said, they're back to SQ1, back to zero.
08:55 This is where they can get the confidence they need for the next level.
09:00 We've seen this, unfortunately, with our defending champions, guys like Fran Yu,
09:08 Sanggalang, moving on already, graduating.
09:12 -Paraiso. -Paraiso as well.
09:14 Now, obviously, everything goes through this.
09:18 Everything goes through rebuilding Ikanga.
09:21 You don't want to start from the bottom again.
09:24 That's right. That's very important, especially for veterans.
09:28 That's what you'll leave behind. That's your legacy.
09:33 I'll tell you where you came from.
09:35 Cortez is free.
09:38 This is a bit scary.
09:45 I know Diana Igual will have to get this report for us,
09:50 but I'm nervous for her when it comes to the bench.
09:53 What will happen to Coach Gerson Caviltes?
09:57 And what will be his first-half breakdown?
10:00 These are mistakes that EAC did not normally make, does not normally make,
10:05 but San Veda is just so opportunistic.
10:10 The simple mistakes are why Cortez was able to knock down that three.
10:14 You know, that's one thing that I see that San Veda is a bit consistent.
10:25 The mistakes that their opponents make, they maximize them.
10:30 And at the same time, when they're given the chance to set themselves,
10:34 they make sure that they're patient enough to wait for the right time
10:38 so that they can get what they want.
10:41 And I think Coach Yuri is effective in that kind of system.
10:46 It is a huge 17-point lead for San Veda against EAC.
10:52 Less than five minutes remaining in the first.
10:55 Gonzalez.
10:56 We go to the post.
10:59 Bully ball there will not work.
11:03 Enroyo had the jack-up of three, not too much.
11:13 Speaking of size,
11:15 Ophia and Kunta are now together.
11:19 How will they attack there?
11:23 We saw EAC for this first half,
11:26 they were really struggling beyond the arc and of course inside.
11:31 But now that there are two big guys inside, how will they attack inside?
11:36 Exactly what happened there.
11:38 That's a swat there once again by Zipper and Ophia.
11:42 On that drive by Ralph Robin.
11:44 And right now, EAC is just looking for answers.
11:47 How will they break the interior defense so far of the Red Lions?
11:55 Robin, pull-up, finally stopping the bleeding.
11:58 They really need that basket.
12:02 Oh, that is a turnover.
12:06 Good defense there by EAC.
12:07 Luciano.
12:08 Robin, free throw again.
12:10 Back to back.
12:12 Baskets by Ralph Robin and EAC is starting to hum here in the second period.
12:18 This is the defense that we've been talking about in the past games.
12:23 This is where they gain confidence.
12:26 And, just for me, I'll just ask,
12:30 if you know that you can defend like this when the opponent is already strong,
12:36 I mean, you have a tendency to be like this even if you're a bench.
12:39 Why not do it from the get-go entire game?
12:42 Right?
12:43 Who knows?
12:45 Strong move, don't go.
12:47 Nice ball.
12:48 It'll go to Taipa Yosing.
12:51 Bertez will reset.
12:53 Two-man game.
12:56 Bertez gets the switch.
12:58 Almost.
13:02 It is a turnover and good defensive stops by EAC.
13:08 Timeout.
13:09 With less than three minutes remaining and EAC trying to make a run here in the second quarter.
13:14 With less than three minutes remaining and EAC trying to make a run here in the second quarter.

13:51 We say this again, Phil Oil and Echo Oil Center,
13:54 don't forget to bring your A-game if you're watching this,
13:58 because you might be the ones who'll see it on our Smile Cam.
14:02 So, shoutout to everyone who's watching here at Phil Oil and Echo Oil Center.
14:07 Those are the ones you can take a video of and post it.
14:13 Airtime.
14:14 Airtime.
14:15 Ma, look at me later, I'm waiting for the TV.
14:18 There, there.
14:20 And of course, the fans in attendance for San Beto and for EAC,
14:25 both alumni and students alike.
14:27 Oh, that's my friend.
14:28 Shoutout to you, Pia Megano.
14:30 Nigel Gonzales' girlfriend.
14:34 That's why he's early to watch.
14:38 Of course, we need a baby smile.
14:42 The one where you look at the camera but you don't want to be seen.
14:47 Later, when you point at me, I'll show you.
14:49 I'll request for a puppy print later.
14:54 Alright, let's get down to the business of basketball here as EAC trying to make a run at Cosejo.
15:06 Cortez is really hungry from the mismatch, so he wants to get the ball.
15:10 Cortez, though, being whistled for a foul.
15:13 He won't be allowed to get the ball.
15:15 He'll have to get a place, of course.
15:17 What's your take on Cortez's soccer game?
15:22 One is mid, the other is high.
15:24 Two Gen Zs, that's all I can say.
15:27 Sometimes, it has a purpose.
15:30 Sometimes, there are players whose muscles tighten up quickly,
15:38 so they need good circulation of blood in their legs.
15:42 Some of them need to be in the hole because they dive often.
15:47 Some of them don't aim for the right spot.
15:50 These things are important, but sometimes, we think it's just a style.
15:55 There are also players who do it for the style, for the style points.
15:58 But they say, if you don't have the...
16:02 If you can't perform, you can't perform.
16:05 But if you can perform, you can perform.
16:07 There are also people who perform. What do you want from them?
16:10 If San Beta wins, Jacob will be the best player.
16:13 Let's ask him.
16:14 That's right.
16:15 That's a good question.
16:17 But we're not sure yet because EAZ is on a 7-0 run, if I'm not mistaken.
16:25 As Nicole, he's able to get that shot to fall as well.
16:29 In fact, EAZ has outscored San Beta 14-10 here in our Executive Park.
16:38 There goes Hofia. High-low play, no goal.
16:41 Dive, dive!
16:44 Secured by Quinal, all kinds of red lions on him.
16:50 It looks like the Lions are looking for a free.
16:52 But Quinal is able to survive, but the ball will go back to San Beta.
16:56 But you can see how much he wants to get the ball.
17:00 That's what we want.
17:01 That's what we want because eventually, his save will bear fruit.
17:07 Again, this was just mentioned by a wise coach.
17:11 Coach Eric Gonzales, shoutout to you.
17:13 That's one thing that a coach can't teach a player, his effort.
17:17 You can really see it in his blood.
17:21 He really wants it.
17:23 Alvaro over to Cortez.
17:26 Cortez getting some space.
17:28 You give this man a little bit of space.
17:30 It's dangerous.
17:31 Pull up three, will not fall.
17:37 San Beta has been scoreless for the past three minutes.
17:41 They're looking for their offense.
17:43 But that is going to be two free throws for EAC.
17:47 As a foul is going to be called.
17:49 On Yuken Andrada.
17:53 On the RAP Beijing.
17:56 JC Oceano.
18:03 Cortez to the bench.
18:05 Seven points thus far on three of four.
18:08 Jacob Cortez is also marked.
18:11 Oceano getting free throw on ball.
18:13 First point of the game for JC Oceano.
18:22 Coming into this game.
18:25 One of the things coach Jerson was hoping for.
18:31 But one for two from the free throw line.
18:33 We'll give one more because we entered a little early.
18:38 Lane violation there.
18:40 And extra free throw for Oceano.
18:42 Averaging around a point and two rebounds per contest.
18:47 There, that's a beautiful one.
18:58 32 to 24, a minute and 30 remaining.
19:01 Biggest lead was 17.
19:05 Extra pass and Hopia able to finish.
19:09 Bigan mo pa lang isa.
19:11 A basic drive and dish that led to an easy shot para kay Clifford Hopia.
19:17 Again, iiwanan mo yung big para dun sa may bola o hindi.
19:22 Pero syempre, ang mga sasabihin ng all, sino ba mas importante may bola o wala.
19:26 Ngayon, nag-iisip yung gwardiya na ibigay niya ngayon yung passes sa big man.
19:30 Ganda, ganda panuurin.
19:32 Clifford Hopia has been beasting thus far.
19:40 Meron na po siyang nine points sa ating loro at two blocks as well.
19:44 Maguliano, lusot!
19:48 Floater will fall and a nice response by the main man of EAC.
19:55 As JP Maguliano getting those two points to drop.
19:59 Pinag-uusapan lang natin kanina, no, na kung gaano nahihirapan itong EAC mahanap yung groove nila.
20:06 At si Maguliano na medyo tahimik pa.
20:08 And ngayon, nagsistart na siya magpangilala bago matapos tong first half natin.
20:12 Hindi natin napapansin.
20:13 Eight points na lang.
20:14 Yes.
20:16 Nine points ang naitapyas sa biggest lead of 17.
20:19 And may free throw pa.
20:20 Yes, a minute and 10 remaining.
20:23 Okay, the response there, lead is...
20:26 Down to seven.
20:29 Andrada, ako delegado to.
20:33 Delegado to.
20:34 Delegado to.
20:35 We already called this, delegado yan.
20:38 Maguliano, ako counter steal!
20:40 Naging three on one pass break.
20:42 Andrada, Alfaro, Hopia.
20:49 Na-imagine mo ba ganyan kakalaki tas ipinapasa sa'yo yung bounce pass.
20:52 Kailangan mo ba pumuha mo ko?
20:54 Three on one pass break executed.
20:57 Luciano Moposte kontra kay Alfaro.
21:02 Libre si Robin!
21:03 In and out, sayang yan!
21:07 Royo, Alfaro.
21:14 Alfaro.
21:15 Pinagpag.
21:22 Look at Hopia, the sky for that board.
21:26 Nako, naistealan pa ni Royo.
21:28 Royo, extra pass.
21:30 Three pointer on the way, no go.
21:32 Sa kanyang rebound.
21:34 Another try.
21:36 A miss there.
21:42 To end the second quarter.
21:44 Alam mo nakita mo si Coach Uri nung nakuha nila yung rebound.
21:47 Normally, binabangkit talaga ng coach sa players niya.
21:51 Hawakan nyo, last shot tayo.
21:53 Kasi halimbawa man, na-nomintease yung nakuha ng EAC,
21:56 magkakaroon sila ng chance na may baba pa yung lead.
