00:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:09 Anyway, second half is officially here.
00:19 Martin Avere, Pablo Avere, coach Benji Paras,
00:22 bringing you game number two of San Pedro versus Mapua.
00:26 It is the Red Lions with a 12-point lead
00:30 to begin the second half.
00:32 But that's not an encouraging start for them
00:35 as they turn it over.
00:36 So it's coach Yuri maintaining his starters today.
00:41 Still AJ Arroyo for them in the fourth.
00:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
00:45 Paolo Hernandez making a start in the third.
00:52 And that is why he creates right away.
00:55 He sets up JP Soriano, or Jope Soriano, rather, inside.
01:00 JP Soriano reporting for the air.
01:03 Soriano very undersized compared to Jope,
01:05 but he knows how to position himself.
01:07 Yeah.
01:08 Recto with a one-handed board.
01:12 And it's Clint Escamiz, hard screen provided.
01:15 Escamiz gets the bounce.
01:18 Mapua with four straight right out of the gates
01:22 here in the second half.
01:24 This is a good start from Mapua.
01:29 Now, if there's one team we cannot count out,
01:33 it is the Mapua Cardinals.
01:35 They've shown time and time again
01:38 that they can come back from big deficits.
01:41 But San Pedro stays steady with Clifford Hopia inside.
01:45 And again, you're focusing--
01:46 Mapua's focusing their defense on Cortez.
01:49 And that's the result, that he played with Hopia.
01:55 Duenco, we're seeing some explosive action so far
01:58 to begin the second half.
01:59 Hernandez, extra pass, recto for three.
02:04 Hits the top of the backboard.
02:06 And here comes Jacob Cortez.
02:10 So that's something that hasn't fallen for Mapua today.
02:14 A three-point shot, Cortez, leaving it short.
02:20 And here's Paulo Hernandez.
02:24 Escamiz using that Soriano screen.
02:27 Escamiz for three.
02:30 All air for Clint.
02:32 But he felt he was fouled.
02:34 No call, though.
02:35 That's a good, clean contest, according to our referees,
02:41 by Alfaro.
02:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:46 Here's Arroyo.
02:54 AJ.
02:56 [INAUDIBLE]
02:58 And Sarus Duenco getting the rebound.
03:01 Wow.
03:02 OK.
03:04 Clint Escamiz--
03:05 Oh, what a pass.
03:06 Oh!
03:08 A sorry miss.
03:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
03:13 OK.
03:14 Clint Escamiz is a game low, minus 14 in this game.
03:22 So far, he hasn't been a factor when he is on the court,
03:26 despite the scoring earlier in the first half.
03:29 Arroyo off the top of the backboard again,
03:34 happening on both sides.
03:37 Recto, zooming straight to the cup.
03:41 That was a good screen from Soriano blocking Hopia Sano.
03:47 Defensive end, he's not recovered.
03:51 Here's Alfaro.
03:52 Hopia.
03:56 Mapua, back with an eight.
03:58 Andrada.
03:59 Ooh!
04:00 That one swirled around the iron.
04:04 That's what happened to Mapua before the end
04:06 of the third quarter is happening to San Pedro now.
04:08 Yeah.
04:10 Ooh, and Hopia is whistled for the foul.
04:14 So two takes for Soriano about this pass.
04:21 The spin, and then the lead for Soriano.
04:25 Just couldn't finish everything but the bucket.
04:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:33 With a cradle in midair.
04:36 Getting the two points, cutting the lead.
04:40 Down to eight.
04:43 Six and a half to go.
04:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
04:46 We're seeing some signs of life from the Mapua Cardinals.
04:51 Jumping Soriano, who has been scoring timely baskets
04:57 for Mapua today, misses the first as we go to Mapua's side
05:02 from the dugout.
05:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:06 Miki.
05:06 Thank you so much, Martin and Baba Bear.
05:08 After suffering a 12-point disadvantage
05:10 at the first half of the game, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:18, and it take the redirection.
05:20 Increase the physicality, but remember, no dirty tactics.
05:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:51 Forcing the issue again.
05:53 And he earns another trip to the free throw line.
05:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:58 Andy Alcantara holding to make a teamwork and defense.
06:02 Baba Bear, which they are showing in the early moments
06:07 of the second half.
06:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:12 Adjustment for Mapua.
06:15 Not to be tough on defense.
06:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:28 Jokic Soriano is a 60% free throw shooter.
06:32 Goes one out of four on two trips.
06:35 Cortez lost it.
06:37 It is with Paolo Hernandez.
06:40 Mapua continues their surge.
06:42 Paolo, kick out.
06:43 Cuento.
06:44 No.
06:46 And it stays with Mapua's side.
06:48 Cyrus Cuento still struggling from the outside.
06:55 But Mapua will take possession right after this break.

08:12 The yellow and gold crowd coming alive
08:16 during the third quarter.
08:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:20 Mapua Cardinal is only down by seven.
08:22 Energetic fans.
08:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:30 They will have possession here.
08:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:38 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:41 Escamiz with a separation.
08:43 In and out for Clint.
08:46 Paiosin comes away with it.
08:49 Sanbeda looks to weather the storm.
08:54 Not the best start for them here in the third.
08:57 They're outscored by Mapua, 72.
08:59 Oh, Soriano is down.
09:03 Got hit in the midsection.
09:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:08 I will see.
09:09 Took contact.
09:15 So I guess the officials need to review it.
09:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:21 [MUSIC - "HEROES"]
09:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:23 Suspected act of violence.
09:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:27 Oh.
09:31 OK.
09:32 So it was--
09:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:35 Was it a slight swing on Soriano there?
09:39 But they need to look on another angle.
09:44 So we'll see if there's going to be an upgrade.
09:47 This is a potential momentum swing
09:52 if ever this is upgraded, Papa Bear.
09:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:56 This is our wide angle.
10:02 Watch the left arm.
10:04 Oh.
10:05 [CROWD CHEERING]
10:07 OK.
10:10 I'm unsure of the impact, Papa Bear,
10:12 but that was a clear swing.
10:13 Yeah, clear swing.
10:14 Oh, that's why dropping Soriano went down right away.
10:22 Our referee's deciding if they'll upgrade this one.
10:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:32 Despite the non-goal, Papa Bear, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:40 into an unsportsmanlike foul if ever this call falls
10:46 into one of our conditions.
10:49 The energy of the game, extremes of energy.
10:54 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:57 This is the championship game.
10:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:02 So we're getting bigger exposure today,
11:18 courtesy of the Capuzzo Network.
11:20 As we see--
11:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:24 Cheering on.
11:42 They want the extension.
11:44 Oh, they upgrade it into an unsportsmanlike foul.
11:50 So one free throw in ball possession.
11:56 Actually, in ball possession, Anthony.
11:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:01 Falls to condition one.
12:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:18 Because they stopped the play when Soriano went down.
12:24 Yes.
12:25 So it was mid-play for Sandeda.
12:28 All right, Soriano will take two.
12:30 We'll determine in a bit who's possession this is.
12:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:41 Remarks from Coach Yuri Escueta for the first half
12:44 performance of the Red Lions.
12:46 Martin and Papa Bear, we are seeing a more aggressive,
12:49 hungrier, and faster Red Lions.
12:52 At the start of the third quarter,
12:54 Coach Yuri Escueta emphasized on focusing
12:56 on their defensive rebounds.
12:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:01 Coach Yuri also reminded them to not rush their shots,
13:04 keep their hands active, and keep the same intensity
13:07 until the end.
13:08 Because according to them, it is evident
13:10 that this is something that the Cardinals couldn't expect.
13:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:16 Excellent way to point out the major problem,
13:19 at least from Sandeda's side.
13:21 Despite the lead, though, they're trailing it
13:24 in the offensive rebounding department 16 to 8.
13:28 So times two.
13:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:32 When it comes to offensive rebounding.
13:35 And then 11 to 2 start for the Mapua Cardinals
13:39 in the third quarter.
13:41 They are officially back in it.
13:45 Too early for the Mapua to be back in the game.
13:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:51 Padle pulls the trigger.
13:53 Too strong.
13:54 Escanez ending up with the ball.
13:58 And here come the Cardinals, carrying a massive momentum.
14:02 Hernandez knocks it down.
14:05 And we are all tied up for only the second time of the game.
14:11 Hernandez with 11.
14:13 How will Sandeda respond?
14:18 14 to 2 run for Mapua.
14:22 Padle.
14:23 Ayosin for three.
14:25 Off to the left.
14:26 Padle getting it.
14:27 Couldn't secure it completely, though.
14:30 And here comes Clint with Mapua having a chance
14:34 to take back the lead.
14:36 Escanez, no.
14:37 One more time for Clint, and he gets fouled.
14:40 Good effort, good intensity coming from Escanez.
14:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:53 How about the slash from Cyrus Guenco?
14:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:59 And then Paolo Hernandez knocking it down
15:04 from that corner pocket.
15:06 11 for Hernandez in this game.
15:08 14 to 2.
15:10 Make that 15 to 2 run for the Cardinals in the second half.
15:15 And they retake the lead, 45 to 44.
15:21 What a swing.
15:25 Here in the third quarter, and it is your rookie MVP
15:30 taking another one.
15:34 Two-point lead for Mapua.
15:38 What a turnaround in this game.
15:41 These finals have truly been unpredictable.
15:47 Last time [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH] 1991.
15:50 And Mapua won that series.
15:54 Jacob Lau at Guenco is whistled for this foul.
16:01 Those are the era of Benny Cheng and Boy Victoria.
16:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:09 Benny Cheng was also against the Red Lions, as you mentioned.
16:14 1991.
16:17 A capital back-to-back championship,
16:20 if I'm not mistaken, for the Mapua Cardinals,
16:23 and they won it in '90 and '91.
16:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:28 32-year drought now up until this point.
16:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:33 Jacob missing on the first, takes care of the second for this.
16:45 Again, a shade under 70% from the free throw line this year.
16:52 He's got 12.
16:54 Oh, he missed the second.
16:56 That's the third.
16:58 Scramble for the ball.
16:59 It is with Guenco.
17:01 Oh, navigating it to Hernandez.
17:04 And the Mapua Cardinals are off the other way.
17:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:13 Puno on the move.
17:14 Puno.
17:16 Puno by Recto.
17:21 So JC Recto forced to give up the foul.
17:26 Jomel Puno got hit hard on his way up.
17:33 Here's the action earlier.
17:35 Sidestep.
17:36 And then Recto was waiting for Puno,
17:41 colliding with him in midair.
17:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:46 So they need to--
17:48 Love the shirt.
17:50 The officials should be consistent on reviewing plays.
17:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:58 Aiming for the--
17:59 Basketball.
18:00 Basketball.
18:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:08 That's a winner.
18:09 So I guess this is going to be an ordinary foul.
18:12 So just a push against JC Recto.
18:15 But the theme continues here in game number two.
18:22 Because in the first game, Papa Bear,
18:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:30 Yes.
18:31 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:36 Third quarter was owned by the Cardinals up until here
18:40 in game number two.
18:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:44 Only three minutes to go.
18:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:50 But Jomel Puno takes care of the free throws.
18:53 Oh, Robert Pollock, former King Lion, in attendance here.
19:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:07 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:09 Yes, Benny Ching was here.
19:11 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:12 Difficult take, but we got a foul inside.
19:16 Juan Bonifacio is down.
19:19 Kochi Uri doesn't like it.
19:21 Oh, Taguino Plana, former NCAA MVP.
19:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:29 Shooter, again, of the Sunbedder Red Lions.
19:34 One of the best three-point shooters I've personally
19:36 seen because of NCAA.
19:39 In the meantime-- oh, OK.
19:43 So it was Andrada who bumped into Juan Bonifacio.
19:47 Wasn't upgraded.
19:49 It's just Bonifacio taking a trip to the free throw line.
19:54 One of the best in the league.
19:57 Oh, Dave Marcello, former Sunbedder big man,
20:01 who is now in the pros.
20:04 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:07 Former players from each team.
20:10 And I think supporting their college team.
20:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:21 In time, it's a pass and a lead.
20:25 The erasure from a PUA's defense.
20:30 Rosilio gets the stoppage.
20:36 And that's going to be on Jacob Cortez.
20:40 2 and 3 to go.
20:43 It's a 3-10 loss.
20:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
20:46 Third quarter.
20:48 Let's go to this quick break.
20:50 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:53 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:05 [MUSIC PLAYING]
21:08 I'm flying so high I can see the whole world Look at me now I'm ready for victory It's my time, my turn
21:21 Hero, oh oh oh oh Come around for this living day Hero, oh oh oh oh Take my touch and live this day
21:37 Hero, oh oh oh oh
21:40 Look at me now I'm flying so high I can see the whole world
21:57 Still inside the Mall of Asia Arena Game number two live on GMA, GTV, NCA, Philippines and GMA Sports VH
22:08 Mike Tan, Embaline, Fonte Negro, Stars of Love, Die and Repeat
22:16 The pilot will air on January 15 as GMA Prime Time or on GMA Prime Time Drama Action Thriller Series
22:29 And clearly also our sports fans, Mike Tan and Valin Montenegro
22:36 Meantime, Rosilio missing two, offensive board for the Mapua Cardinals
22:46 This is what Coach Yuri wants to solve in the halftime, it's becoming a problem here in their third quarter
22:55 And again, Mapua
22:58 Oh, that was a foul
23:03 Wow
23:06 Called by Harry Santos, San Beto doesn't like it but here's the take
23:12 Battle for positioning, Andrada falls down
23:15 Scramble, scramble, Recto got it
23:20 Oh, they called it on Puno
23:23 Who looked like he pushed, or he pushed rather Recto out of the way to get to the ball
23:31 Interesting
23:37 So, everything we see, now what's happening are all in favor for Mapua
23:48 So, JC Recto heading to the free throw line for a couple of shots
23:58 And he take back the lead
24:05 Recto, a rookie in the NCAA
24:10 But him and Peter Rosilio has been unfazed of the finals pressure as he goes two out of two right there
24:19 49-47, Mapua is back in front
24:23 Offensive rebounding, six alone in the third quarter for the Cardinals
24:29 And a total of 20 offensive rebounds in this game so far resulting
24:36 Oh yeah, 20 offensive rebounds resulting to 11 second chance points for Mapua
24:43 There's nothing there, the free throws for them, Aspallosin takes the difficult shot and misses
24:54 Here come the Cardinals
24:58 Rosilio, Bonifacio falls down again
25:03 Third quarter field goals for us, huge disparity here
25:08 It's like bowling, a lot of people are falling
25:13 The physicality has been heightened here in game number two
25:20 Here in the third quarter to be more specific
25:24 A lot of reviews
25:27 Okay
25:31 Let's see if
25:35 Yukien and Warren
25:40 Bumping into each other several times here in our third quarter
25:47 Well, even if it's not finals, it's really happening
25:52 So we'll see, this is another review, potential upgrade
25:57 Let's see
26:01 So let's see what's
26:06 All right
26:09 Harry Santos, Anthony Zulet talking to Coach Yuri Escueta
26:26 Let's see
26:28 I don't know why the officials need to talk to the coach
26:32 If they're going to make a decision
26:36 So no one called
26:38 No upgrades, no call
26:42 It's like the officials said, "Stop that"
26:46 So let's just continue
26:49 Repossession for the Mapua Cardinals
26:54 49-47
26:57 Rosilio
27:00 Against Cortez, Rosilio
27:03 Last second pass, Recto from mid-range
27:06 That's good
27:08 J.C. Recto extends Mapua's lead
27:11 Yes, good interior offense coming from Mapua
27:16 And this is the problem now for San Beda
27:19 Mapua has outscored the Red Lions 21-5 in the third quarter
27:27 Jacob, difficult take
27:30 Paiyosin, it's hard to shoot
27:33 It's hard to shoot for San Beda
27:35 That just means that Mapua's defense is upgraded
27:41 The Cardinals tightening the screws defensively here in the third quarter
27:47 Rosilio, Bonifacio
27:51 Here's Recto, attack, J.C.
27:54 Butz set up in the end
27:56 J.C. Recto
27:59 With another basket, he's got 10 points in the game
28:05 Alfaro overcooks it
28:09 This is what Coach Eurine said, "You need to settle down"
28:14 But what happened is, San Beda wants to get their lead back
28:20 This is the only chance for Mapua
28:23 Ball in the hands of Paolo Hernandez
28:27 Paolo, step back, jumper
28:31 It's the back iron that time
28:33 Here comes Jacob Cortez, by the way, 8 of the 10 points
28:36 J.C. Recto has here, all here in the third
28:40 Cortez, hard bump, it's going to be a foul on Warren Bonifacio
28:45 So Warren now committing his fourth personal foul
28:51 Here it is, J.C. Recto, earlier the drive, here's the mid-range J
28:58 Here it is, the attack of J.C. Recto
29:03 Can do it all for Mapua
29:06 What a performance so far from the rookie
29:12 But Recto came out, Rosilio came out
29:19 The problem is coming, Papa Bear
29:21 So the problem is the threat of San Beda, continuously
29:29 Coach Yong Garcia was the more active head coach for Mapua today
29:38 Although Coach Randy is right there at the bench
29:44 Meantime, Cortez at the free throw line
29:52 Jacob, with 13 points in the game, that's his dad
30:00 The cool cat and college basketball legend, Mike Cortez
30:07 13-7, 2-2, 1 out of 2 though
30:13 On that rip, final play of the third
30:18 Earlier, Hernandez took the last shot before finishing the first half
30:24 Here's Paolo again, step back three, off to the left
30:29 By the way, J.C. Recto has been the man of the quarter for Mapua
30:34 Scored the entire San Beda team 8-6
30:38 And they grabbed the five-point lead courtesy of that avalanche in the third quarter
30:44 Cardinals are ahead, a chance to make history as we go to the fourth frame
