00:00 quarter four out of five from downtown
00:08 you gotta credit that offensive rebound activity on the glass the same time
00:13 their ball movement is so good. Free! Almost those three three points here to end that
00:20 first quarter. JB was an 8 to 0 run of Mapua. At the end of the first.
00:26 Mapua is really ahead.
00:31 Jumper is way short there.
00:38 Araylo Cristo. And this is also the problem of the generals on their last game against the Red Lions.
00:44 This kind of pace, this kind of defense that they are doing now.
00:47 Too many open shots, too many missed shots here on the first quarter
00:52 Maguliano back at a free-throw strike.
00:59 Just hit one out of two. JP 0-3.
01:09 And he gets both.
01:15 If you're EAC, you had a good start but you really cannot afford you know any
01:23 lapses especially you know four out of five three-pointers for Mapua.
01:30 So what do you do? What adjustments on the defensive end are you doing here?
01:33 You just really need to weather the storm here by the EAC at the same time.
01:38 That's what I'm saying. Berdy Asuncion again with a second triple and this shot is very deceiving.
01:45 It takes time to set up. Asuncion is hesitating.
01:50 Meanwhile, JB Maguliano finally hitting his first field goal. That will be good news, good sign.
01:56 For EAC for their team captain to knock down his first field goal here in the second quarter.
02:01 They really need to change up their defense because Asuncion is always free.
02:05 They're having a hard time because the Lee Sae-oh is on the right wing.
02:10 So they can't rotate here to Asuncion.
02:13 And Asuncion was already on the left wing earlier.
02:15 There's too many easy shots here for the Cardinals.
02:27 All of their triples are open. Actually, it's a very good point.
02:31 Rosilio, you don't want to leave him open too.
02:36 The Lee Sae-oh, dangerous pass.
02:37 Robin will be pulled. Robin all the way.
02:40 Easy layup for Ralph Robin.
02:43 So this is maybe the spurt that EAC needs but they have to do it also on this end.
02:48 Hernandez attacks, gets fouled. He will head to the line for two.
02:51 Let's head back court side. Christine Sanagustin for her second quarter report.
02:56 This is our biggest and last push. Make sure to make it count.
03:01 Coach Gerson reminded us earlier during the huddle.
03:04 In which he reminded them that they really want to make this battle count if they want to make it to the final four.
03:11 Coming into the second quarter, Coach Gerson was quick to remind them to be careful of the extra passes that they make.
03:17 Which can sometimes lead to some easy baskets for Mapua before the huddle ended.
03:21 Coach Gerson made sure that the team is starting off with a clean slate by reminding them to shrug off every bit of inconsistencies and uncertainties in their systems.
03:30 So that they can chase the points that were taken from them during the first quarter.
03:35 First, the news from EAC side, Andre J.
03:38 Thank you Christine. Hernandez knocking down those free throws.
03:41 You know you're down ten. You're EAC.
03:45 JB, Coach Gerson as you see.
03:47 And the coaching staff of EAC, there's a foul, holding foul.
03:51 Called on Kobe Dalisay.
03:54 So how do you...
03:57 It's a crucial game for the Generals. We talked about that earlier before the game started.
04:04 Losing to Sanbel in the last game.
04:06 You need wins, especially here at the end of the second round.
04:09 But how do you handle a juggernaut like Mapua who's hitting it from the outside.
04:14 Robin tries again.
04:16 Earlier hit one but missed that time.
04:19 Ball will stay, oh no. Ball will go back down to Mapua.
04:23 And more bad news for EAC because Fashio is back in.
04:28 EAC is really making it hard for the Cardinals.
04:33 But as Christine said, according to Coach Gerson,
04:37 this inconsistency, they should be in a clean slate now.
04:41 Because from last game, against the Red Lions,
04:43 they were inconsistent the way they run their sets, the way they run their plays.
04:47 Defensively also.
04:49 So how did they get to this spot here?
04:51 They have a chance to get to the Final Four.
04:54 What strength did they use?
04:55 It's to run their system and really play defense all out.
04:59 Because that's their only advantage here.
05:01 Cuengo giving up his dribble, wanting to go down to Bonifacio.
05:07 It's a post up. Bonifacio underneath.
05:10 Bumping bodies with Maguliano.
05:12 And that cross court pass, too strong.
05:14 Turnover for Mapua. Let's head now court side.
05:17 This time for Mapua's side, Micky Santos has more.
05:20 You know what, Andre and JB, if there is something that Coach Randy wants to instill in this batch of the Cardinals,
05:26 he told me that he wants the players to display the character of a winner.
05:31 Because with that, Coach Randy also gives props to Clint Escamiz
05:34 because he has a different way of running the league and the Cardinals being the energy guy of the team.
05:39 And with other rookies, notice who is stepping up for this game.
05:42 The coaches only ask the team to take care of every possession and give it their all until the last minute of the buzzer.
05:48 Because Assistant Gochiyo Garcia is already tired, he sees something special in the season's lineup.
05:52 But in order for that to produce results, he wants the players to become more involved in the team
05:57 and go on winning this game.
05:59 Now back to you, the panel, Andre and JB.
06:01 Thank you, Micky.
06:02 Oh, look at that ball movement leaving Escamiz 3 for 3.
06:05 Give it up, goes for the left, blows it up.
06:08 But there's Warren Bonifacio doing Warren Bonifacio things.
06:12 That was a great ball movement there by the Cardinals.
06:15 I said that the defense is questionable here for the Generals
06:19 because there are too many free-opens that passed.
06:21 We saw that Clint Escamiz was super open on that corner.
06:25 12-point lead, their biggest here.
06:31 34-22.
06:32 And look at the defense, the swarming defense of Mabua.
06:37 They really aren't giving the EAC a free shot.
06:42 You saw that when Robin went for the drive, Clint Escamiz was already on the help side to double him on the baseline.
06:48 Cortiza back in, replacing Art Cosa. Now Robin at the line.
06:52 Ralph Robin, EAC's third leading scorer.
07:00 For the second time, the Heroes of the North are coming up.
07:06 And we also saw Quinal coming in for the first time.
07:10 Robin sinking the free throw.
07:14 You know for a 3-point shooter, as brilliant as Ralph Robin,
07:18 I said that he's a 34% 3-point shooter, one of the top 10.
07:23 For a free throw shooter, 42%.
07:26 There.
07:28 It's like there are two worlds.
07:30 Maybe he wants the free throw to be on the 3-point line.
07:32 That's just the back of the line.
07:34 That's the wrist.
07:36 Escamiz trapped.
07:38 Binds Bonifacio.
07:40 Working with an 11-second shot clock.
07:44 Escamiz seeing an open man at the corner.
07:46 Too strong.
07:48 Cosejo tracks the ball back for the Generals.
07:50 Ahead of Quinal.
07:52 But Quainco is already waiting for the defense.
07:54 Quinal going down low to Cosejo.
07:58 Guarded by Bonifacio and EAC.
08:02 Or there, for Nat Cosejo.
08:04 And that's what you want.
08:06 If you're EAC, let Cosejo attack the interior.
08:10 They really want to attack.
08:12 Warren Bonifacio on the post every time.
08:14 Every possession.
08:16 That's their first look, first point of attack of the Generals.
08:20 Oh, and a push.
08:26 Escamiz, it will be a foul.
08:28 Obviously called on Quinal.
08:30 I think the problem today, aside from the Cardinals' open shots,
08:40 is the offensive rebounds.
08:42 Once they get offensive rebounds, they kick out on the outside.
08:44 That's why the 3-point line is open.
08:46 Escamiz on their knees.
08:52 And Escamiz getting just a second field goal after knocking down a 3.
08:58 We checked that after knocking down a 2 earlier.
09:00 But he's good enough for 7 points.
09:02 Oh, sorry miss.
09:04 For Maguliano.
09:06 Hernandez trying to hit a General last touch.
09:08 But Robin has it.
09:10 Fresh 24 seconds to shot clock.
09:12 And it will be a foul.
09:14 It will be called.
09:16 Oh, Nasuncion.
09:20 I told you, Trey, Robin is having a hard time.
09:24 Every time he makes a ball-sketch,
09:26 I guess the ball just collides with the defense of the Cardinals.
09:28 Daniel Tantara wants to talk things over.
09:30 But Mapuas still way ahead.
09:32 By 11, 36-25, 541 left in the second.
09:48 Sports has a unique way of making memorable moments.
09:52 And NCAA Season 98 was an absolute showcase.
09:56 So let's go back and watch the unforgettable moments of this past season.
10:02 To make the fans more excited for the season that just started, Season 99.
10:06 Honorable mentions.
10:08 Upset Alert.
10:10 EAC, Pinataubang Binil.
10:12 [MUSIC]
10:14 Just a little bit of recap earlier today.
10:20 In the first game, it was the Elettra Knights and the San Sebastian Sags
10:24 where the Knights dropping their 13th game.
10:28 As opposed to only one win.
10:30 And here's San Sebastian getting win number 5.
10:38 At the 8th spot in the team standings.
10:42 We're looking at the team standings.
10:46 Mapuas still number 1.
10:48 Tight tied with LPU, win over the others.
10:50 Mapuas number 1, LPU number 2.
10:52 Binil now peaking at the right time.
10:54 They're at number 3.
10:56 San Betta, your San Betta is at number 4.
10:58 JRU is at number 5.
11:00 I think that's where it will continue.
11:02 Here at 3, 4, 5, 6.
11:04 Those spots.
11:06 As Robin lets that 3 fly short.
11:08 Hits the front ire.
11:10 Back to Cuenco and Mapua.
11:12 But still, it's still a trade.
11:14 Even though it's not 3, 4, 5.
11:16 How about Cuenco getting that lucky drop.
11:18 That was Recto rather.
11:20 JC Recto now.
11:22 Extending this Mapua lead to 13.
11:24 This is exactly what happened on their last game against Red Lions.
11:26 In control.
11:28 The Cardinals are now in control.
11:30 JC Recto.
11:32 Now at 4.
11:34 This is a solid 5.
11:36 They go back to Recto.
11:38 He's feeling it.
11:40 Feeling confident.
11:42 And but a foul.
11:44 It will be on Cortiza.
11:46 Let's take a look at this move from JC.
11:48 You know Recto is one of those guys
11:52 also that they have a lot of confidence in.
11:54 They're not afraid to make a move.
11:56 They're not afraid to make a move.
11:58 You know Recto is one of those guys
12:00 also that they really need.
12:02 This Mapua.
12:04 Rookie out of the Armillano
12:06 Junior's program.
12:08 6-3 JC.
12:10 Pescanes.
12:12 Sets his feet. Let's it fly.
12:14 Short on the corner 3. Maceo gets another rebound.
12:16 Maguliano.
12:18 Up top.
12:20 Back to Maguliano. Up top.
12:22 He knows that Warren is still a poster.
12:26 He knows that Warren is still a poster.
12:28 But a help.
12:30 By Asuncion.
12:32 He gives Maguliano a last touch.
12:34 Mapua.
12:36 Ball will stay with EAC with 6 to shoot.
12:38 We're going to give it to Warren.
12:40 He's holding his own.
12:42 Joseo scored a score.

17:51 Good afternoon.
17:52 Andre Felix, [speaking Filipino]
17:55 on this Wednesday, earlier today,
17:57 the two Martins,
17:58 or actually, on the call,
18:00 Martin Avier and Coach Hammer,
18:02 Martin Antonio,
18:03 with the San Sebastian Stacks,
18:05 prevailing,
18:07 dealing the Littron Knights
18:09 another loss, their 13th.
18:11 [speaking Filipino]
18:12 As we watch this game,
18:15 resume.
18:16 [speaking Filipino]
18:19 Three-time defending champions
18:20 and then having to go to a rebuild right now.
18:22 [speaking Filipino]
18:28 [speaking Filipino]
18:33 Rob's a Coach Renzi also, you know,
18:34 he's trying to keep his head up,
18:38 his chin up,
18:39 and also motivating the players.
18:40 I think,
18:41 [speaking Filipino]
18:42 He's trying to motivate your players
18:44 to just keep on going, keep on going,
18:46 and get through the season.
18:47 That's Cortiza, after that layup,
18:50 jumper, and it's King Cortiza
18:52 on a 4-0 spurt.
18:55 Now, chipping this Mapua lead
18:58 to single digits at 7.
19:00 Recto out to Hernandez.
19:02 Talisay.
19:06 Now sees Recto.
19:09 That was a good pass.
19:11 [speaking Filipino]
19:16 [crowd cheering]
19:19 Maguliano.
19:25 Sees Luciano.
19:27 Wide open, letting it fly.
19:29 Short on that three.
19:30 Maguliano, offensive board.
19:31 Hernandez falling to the ground, though.
19:34 He's holding on to his leg.
19:36 [speaking Filipino]
19:45 I think it's nothing serious.
19:46 He's just going to shake it off here.
19:49 Cyrus Cuenco comes in,
19:55 replacing Paulo Hernandez.
19:57 We've got an update on Paulo.
19:59 He seems to be okay,
20:01 but jogging gingerly to the bench.
20:04 I think it's his ankle.
20:11 Yeah.
20:12 Yeah.
20:13 [speaking Filipino]
20:18 Delaying on the 2-2-1.
20:20 [speaking Filipino]
20:22 40 seconds left on the shot clock.
20:24 Six to go.
20:25 Bonifacio, up fake.
20:28 Bonifacio, what a move.
20:30 But he'll head to the line for two.
20:34 Mapua is just doing what they want here
20:38 on the offensive end.
20:39 Scoring from the outside, from the inside,
20:42 from the post.
20:43 Taking hitting middies here.
20:45 So, defense is the problem for EAC
20:49 because they've been scoring here
20:51 on their offense.
20:52 Running their sets, running the break.
20:54 They just couldn't make a stop.
20:58 [crowd cheering]
21:01 Warren has been solid.
21:11 [speaking Filipino]
21:14 15 points.
21:15 One rebound shot, double-double.
21:20 He led the way.
21:24 Absence on the scoring end.
21:27 Absence with his commies.
21:30 And also solid numbers for Warren this season.
21:36 11.6 points a game, eight boards,
21:38 almost two assists, and a steal.
21:41 Cortiza goes to Robin.
21:52 And look at that closeout.
21:54 There will be a foul.
21:56 Almost good defense there.
21:59 Ralphie saw it otherwise.
22:01 But defense is good here.
22:03 Robin.
22:06 Lianne, going for the foul.
22:08 You saw it.
22:09 You saw the closeout.
22:10 Not just one.
22:11 There's a hellsight running.
22:13 Robin is a markman here.
22:16 But I told you,
22:17 this is the story of Ralph Robin's life.
22:19 He's really good at the three-point range.
22:22 But when it comes to free throws,
22:24 he's struggling.
22:25 He's long.
22:26 His wrist is really good at three-pointers.
22:29 You see, they're both Mentes.
22:33 But if you put it in the three-point area,
22:36 it might be a swack.
22:37 That's six points.
22:38 [laughter]
22:40 But sometimes,
22:46 I think,
22:49 we need to talk about that.
22:51 Is there a science to it?
22:53 For a three-point shooter,
22:55 it's really high.
22:56 34%.
22:57 Free throw shooter, 42%.
22:59 His stroke is good.
23:01 His throw is good.
23:03 That's interesting.
23:05 Right? Science.
23:07 Escamiz, kicking it out.
23:09 Good look.
23:11 What a miss from three.
23:13 Out to Clint.
23:14 Six to go.
23:15 Clint inside.
23:16 Trapped.
23:17 Good defense by C. Cortiza.
23:19 One second.
23:20 He has to throw this one up.
23:22 That was way short.
23:24 Ooh!
23:25 [laughter]
23:26 It went in.
23:27 It went in.
23:28 I thought it was short.
23:29 [laughter]
23:30 So, is that counted?
23:31 No, no, no.
23:32 I think it bounced.
23:33 It bounced.
23:34 I bounced.
23:35 I'm crazy.
23:36 [laughter]
23:37 It's a good one.
23:38 Up 9, 44, 35.
