00:00 Rosilio, given to Clint Escamiz
00:02 Gonzalez, given to Clint Bonifacio
00:06 Wow, shooting a 3!
00:08 Wow, okay!
00:09 In the game, Warren is already showing his range
00:12 Prior to this shot, Warren Bonifacio was 5 for 18 from this season
00:18 From beyond the arc, great
00:21 Escamiz, Cardinals are on the run
00:23 In and out dribble, Escamiz stops, pops
00:25 It connects!
00:26 Clint Escamiz puts Mabua on top by 5
00:29 As we get this, Kuenco goes here
00:32 They go down low
00:33 To Bonifacio, Boni working against Hopia
00:36 Bonifacio, fadeaway works!
00:38 And it's a 7th!
00:40 Hopia with a reverse
00:42 Clint Hopia finds a way!
00:44 Now that's what you want to see, rewarding your bigs
00:48 You can see Hopia and Andrada setting great screens
00:51 These are things that you don't see in the stat sheets
00:53 Setting good screens, they will pop or they will roll
00:56 And what's nice here, as they roll, they attract players
00:59 And the thing is, even if you defend, they're big
01:01 So they're gonna have a hard time defending that
01:03 So they will take advantage of their height and their length
01:05 Cliff Hopia, 6'8"
01:08 Getting a lot of playing time here
01:12 Hopia gets the ball
01:13 Escamiz, Bonifacio with a jumper!
01:18 And his...
01:19 Jommel Puno
01:22 Who played sparingly, by the way, in the first round meeting
01:28 Escamiz shoots a 3 under the rest!
01:30 Clint Escamiz!
01:32 You can already see, San Beda is really doing well by guarding the paint
01:37 Like no one's being able to tap
01:38 But you know what, Mapua has a way
01:40 Dre, as we see this shot by Clint Escamiz
01:43 The craftiness, the body control, the confidence
01:48 Escamiz has it all!
01:56 Cuenco, Chopin Soriano
01:59 Find a better way in defending that by communicating
02:02 And on the part of San Beda on their offense
02:04 It looks like they're falling in love with their outside shots
02:07 Which is a good thing if they're...
02:08 Puno controls it
02:10 Puno grabs his own miss
02:13 Puno creates some space
02:15 And scores!
02:16 The film Canadian Jommel Puno
02:20 Going to work
02:25 Look at him
02:26 All six foot six of him
02:28 Folding his body in the air
02:30 A jackknife move for the finish by Jommel Puno
02:36 What I liked about what he did, confidence back
02:38 But what I liked about what they're doing
02:39 Is they're finding their ways inside the basket
02:42 So it's good to see that they're adjusting already as a team
02:44 Cortez for three!
02:48 Jacob Cortez!
02:49 The ball grazing the rim
02:51 Puno's the last time!
02:53 Jommel Puno!
02:55 At the buzzer!
02:56 It's beyond the arc
02:58 Royo
03:01 Andrada for the lead
03:03 There it is!
03:04 The first lead!
03:05 Ong finds Rosilio
03:06 Rosilio
03:08 Asuncion for three!
03:11 Right back at Chamapua
03:13 This guy does make a difference
03:14 We're gonna see you in the Sunbend
03:15 Back to you, Antonio Nandor
03:17 And Jommel Puno has already been the major difference in this game
03:21 Five points for...
03:22 Anyone and everyone will be here
03:24 Supporting their teams
03:25 Cardinals are on the run
03:27 Rosilio changes his mind on the last minute
03:30 And it was...
03:32 San Andray
03:33 1991
03:34 That was season 67
03:37 So back-to-back titles for Chamapua
03:39 1990 and 1991
03:41 That's what they want
03:42 Love with their outside shots
03:44 But what I failed also to see
03:45 Was that the green light they have
03:47 Even if they're missing
03:48 They'll still get that confidence to keep on shooting
03:50 Because they know they can make those your way
03:53 And as you were saying that
03:54 Lin Escamiz breaks into double digits
03:56 But...
03:57 Wow
03:58 And Jacob Cortes going back and forth
04:02 Escamiz feeling it
04:04 Another one!
04:05 Seven seconds on the shot clock
04:11 Jacob Cortes from the right wing
04:14 Jacob Cortes!
04:15 ...play
04:16 Bonifacio!
04:17 Those are the players...
04:21 ...back
04:21 Royo
04:24 To Tagle
04:26 Andrada for three
04:29 Already 27 rebounds in
04:32 While Mapua is 12
04:33 So it's good to see that
04:34 San Andray is being aggressive once again
04:36 Yes, who had to
04:40 He had to knock down the triple
04:42 Oh, what a move by Tagle
04:46 Switching hands in basketball
04:48 Oh!
04:50 Cortes has to shoot
04:52 Cortes has time
04:53 Cortes lets it fly!
04:54 My!
04:55 Oh!
04:56 My!
04:57 Wow!
05:00 Thank you!
05:00 What a finish
05:04 To the first half
05:07 Jacob Cortes
05:09 The King Lion
05:11 Throws up a prayer
05:18 As it throws it up to the heavens
05:20 And it is answered
05:23 Jacob Cortes had to chase that loose ball
05:28 Payosic for three
05:32 Wow!
05:33 And James Payosic gives the lead
05:35 Or eight on the shot clock rather
05:37 Bonifacio
05:39 Wow!
05:42 Everything that San Bernard throws at Mapua
05:44 Problem
05:45 And this is why like you mentioned earlier
05:46 This is an exciting matchup
05:48 Because they're both almost similar
05:49 Because they always have someone to answer back to
05:51 Pass
05:53 Cuenco
05:54 No
05:55 Escamiz
05:56 Trying to tap it to a teammate
05:58 Rosilio for the tie
06:00 Or Fritki
06:01 Gives the lead back to the Cardinals
06:04 Andrada wants to give the lead back
06:08 To San Pedro
06:09 And he does
06:10 And talk about play
06:11 Cross court pass
06:14 Yukien steps back
06:16 Escape dribble
06:17 Yukien and Andrada
06:18 Give San Pedro its big royal
06:21 Vizere's rolling
06:26 This is what we were saying earlier
06:27 This is what you were saying in the first half
06:29 Fernandez missing a wide open jumper
06:32 Escamiz
06:33 Great anticipation
06:35 Escamiz
06:36 The two of them looked at each other
06:39 Usually if you see players try to go for a steal
06:42 It's a foul
06:43 But here, it looks like he mastered it
06:46 Vizere with a putback though
06:48 He gets his teammates involved as well
06:52 Escamiz against Puno
06:54 Two star rookies
06:56 Escamiz
06:57 Right running
06:59 Recto
07:00 To Hernandez
07:02 Cuenco for the lead
07:03 Just like
07:06 Top tier point guards at the NCAA
07:08 Trying to lead their teams to victory
07:10 Contapay
07:12 Hats it off to Cortez
07:13 Cortez for three
07:14 Over Escamiz
07:17 The switch comes
07:19 Royal
07:20 Throws it out
07:21 Puno
07:21 To Contapay
07:22 Dami
07:23 Damage
07:24 From beyond
07:26 Contapay
07:27 Oh he was
07:30 He was spending a lot of time in the paint
07:33 Cortez
07:33 Off the glint
07:36 Jacob Cortez has caught fire
07:43 Here in the third
07:45 One from the right side
07:47 Now from the left wing
07:49 Off the glass
07:51 And a proud father
07:53 Who rarely smiles
07:55 Mike Cortez
07:58 Always cool
07:59 At the place that needs to be called
08:00 Royal
08:02 No
08:04 Puno
08:05 Putback
08:06 Sanvera with a 10
08:09 Puno
08:11 Saves it
08:13 Saves it
08:14 Royal
08:16 To Jacob
08:17 From way out
08:18 Let's take a moment
08:21 To appreciate
08:22 Greatness
08:24 Because this right here
08:26 Is what a king lion does
08:31 And let me remind you and everyone else
08:34 During the first matchup
08:35 Jacob Cortez only had nine points
08:37 And to think now
08:38 This is pretty much payback
08:40 I don't care if he's young
08:42 I don't care if he's in his third year
08:45 Give Jacob Cortez the crown
08:47 He is the king lion
08:49 Sanvera misfiring from beyond the arc dray
08:52 Rosilio gets it to Escamiz
08:54 And of course speaking of misfiring
08:56 When it comes to trying to fight back
08:58 They need to really
08:59 Put a body near
09:00 Walker
09:01 And a steal here
09:04 By Rosilio
09:05 Rosilio all the way
09:07 And it's like you can say right now
09:09 The amount of time to make smart their plays
09:11 Because now you know that
09:12 Your shots are not going in
09:13 It's best to find players inside the paint
09:16 Or a different type of play in other words
09:18 Reclaim the lead
09:19 Ball to Cuenco
09:21 No Escamiz on the floor
09:24 No Paulo Hernandez on the floor
09:26 But Warren puts it fast so
09:28 Cortez double team
09:31 Andrada
09:32 Pinaza
09:32 To Royo
09:33 Royo
09:34 Puno
09:36 On the move
09:37 Puno stretches
09:38 And scores
09:40 Back to Paulo
09:41 For the lead
09:42 Paulo Hernandez
09:44 March
09:50 But who would have thought that Hernandez would be there
09:53 To take that shot beyond the arc
09:55 And he took this dray with one second remaining in the shot clock
09:59 Who would think because usually when they're playing like that
10:01 You want to go inside
10:02 You want to cut
10:02 But he was just there
10:03 Controlled
10:04 Poised
10:04 Wow
10:05 You know what's so amazing about that moment?
10:10 Flynn Escamiz
10:12 Their usual number one option was not on the floor
