00:00 of the serves of the Creamline Cool Smashers
00:02 and they were able to contain her attacks.
00:04 She had 17 points, but when you take a look at the percentage,
00:08 she's not that high.
00:10 Her efficiency is at 28%.
00:12 So she needs to add that up today.
00:15 Anil's 17 points is hard.
00:18 This is where Creamline starts making their moves.
00:28 So Chocomucho has to be more mindful at this moment
00:32 as this one drops in.
00:35 And trying to prevent any kind of comeback here.
00:40 And everybody's just focused.
00:41 You can see it in their eyes.
00:43 Yeah, look at that.
00:44 Denied at the net!
00:47 Bangs!
00:56 Sends it to an open spot.
00:58 Double figures.
00:59 15 serving 21.
01:01 They go to the other side.
01:05 Gemma.
01:08 Cross court.
01:09 A little sauce on that cross.
01:12 Two straight points for Creamline Cool Smashers.
01:15 23-19.
01:16 Good first ball for Creamline.
01:19 In the middle, Gemma.
01:21 Denied.
01:22 Bangs from the opposite side.
01:24 Dogged by Regine.
01:25 They open up to CC.
01:28 The bounce goes to Tang.
01:29 Back to CC.
01:31 Nobody in front of her.
01:33 Bad news!
01:33 That's the difference.
01:37 A little bit of pressure.
01:38 And Maddie.
01:39 Unleash this one.
01:40 But great dig there by Kyle.
01:42 Frogs on the right pin.
01:44 Tang is there waiting.
01:46 CC.
01:47 There's two slides.
01:49 Bounce.
01:50 Goes down the line.
01:52 Two straight points.
01:53 Two set points saved.
01:55 Very tricky task.
01:56 Because if you notice,
01:58 her target is always at the end.
02:01 So you have to be able to position your--
02:03 Tina.
02:08 Bump set to CC.
02:09 Gemma got a hand on it.
02:13 Tots.
02:14 Rolls it to the other side.
02:15 Back to CC.
02:17 Close to the net!
02:18 Bone to bone!
02:24 Here's set number one.
02:25 Six points and look at this!
02:27 Close to the net!
02:28 And she fires a rocket!
02:30 It's so nice.
02:33 10-0 is the head-to-head count.
02:38 Open.
02:41 Bounce.
02:42 Maddie was there waiting.
02:43 CC.
02:45 Cleared for takeoff.
02:46 But this time denied at the net.
02:52 Gemma continues to serve.
02:54 3-0 run, by the way, for Cream Line.
02:58 Running attack.
02:59 The ball was caught by the shrimp.
03:01 So they counter here.
03:02 CC.
03:05 Maddie.
03:06 Dial is chasing.
03:09 Underhand.
03:10 Wong will set it up to CC.
03:13 CC!
03:14 With a pickup by Dejesus!
03:17 Here's another chance.
03:20 Maddie asking for it.

03:28 Back to Maddie again!
03:30 And she puts it away!
03:32 Maddie!
03:34 You know, it's also a common theme, Sam,
03:41 when you talk to the players,
03:42 whether it's Tots, Eliza, Mitch,
03:45 they all say the same thing.
03:46 They are competitive in practice,
03:49 and that's why they have six championships
03:51 in that franchise.
03:52 Tots Carlos knows a thing or two
03:55 about winning finals MVP.
03:57 What a first ball by Ponce.
04:03 Bumalek and nobody home!
04:06 That one's gonna drop in!
04:13 The lead is down to one!

04:19 You gotta be ready to play any time.
04:22 Good save there by Ponce.
04:26 Gemma on the counter!
04:28 Denied!
04:29 Open again to Kate.
04:40 Dug up by Ponce.
04:42 Here comes Gemma!
04:43 Cross court!
04:44 Slide by Ponce!
04:48 Kate did not waste, or did not risk it anymore.
04:52 Tots!
04:52 Long, back to Vinay!
04:56 That's too high!
04:58 Back to Tots!
05:00 Blocked!
05:02 Tots again!
05:04 Good touch there!
05:08 Long rally.

05:11 And Greenline takes the lead!
05:13 Comebacks by Greenline.

05:32 Unbelievable!
05:34 Powerful attack!
05:37 It's sent back!
05:46 An 8-0 run!
05:48 - After that 8-0 run,
05:50 they continue to challenge Shisirondino's receiving.
05:55 Mitch, that's too low!
05:59 This crucial swing set.
06:04 The third set.
06:05 Gemma!
06:09 Unleashes!
06:14 - Such a good feeling if you're a setter, you know?
06:17 That's him.
06:18 If you're a setter and...
06:21 Bangs!
06:28 Pawns!
06:31 Kat asking for it, it's a bit too low!
06:35 Tots on the other side!
06:39 Puts it away!
06:44 Sisi takes it.
06:45 Sisi!
06:47 Nobody in front!
06:48 What happened there, Neil?
06:50 - 23.
06:51 Good serve by BDL.
06:54 It's alive!
06:57 Regine sends it over!
06:59 Gemma!
07:01 Maddie!
07:03 And BDL will give a free high ball to Greenline.
07:06 Galanza, denied!
07:11 Set point shifts to Choco Mucho.
07:14 Nervous moments.
07:18 That is in!
07:19 Gemma and Bangs joining her in front.

07:29 That is in!
07:30 Set point back to Greenline.

07:38 What a serve!
07:40 (crowd cheering)
07:43 There's a check!
07:44 There's a check!
07:46 Bangs gets it.
07:51 Ooh!
07:56 A chance for Sisi to swing!
08:00 A chance for Bernadette to do the same!
08:04 And Greenline!
08:08 Takes set number three!
08:10 Nina Wong will try to design a different play.
08:13 Good dig there by Bangs.
08:22 Ooh, Bernadette's doing her thing
08:25 as Regine pushes it from behind.
08:28 Another chance ball here for Choco.
08:30 Sisi asking for it.
08:33 That's wide!
08:35 (crowd cheering)
08:38 Gemma gets it back.
08:44 Regine was there.
08:46 Sisi from behind!
08:47 What a dig.
08:50 Tots had to adjust.
08:52 Dina.
08:53 Regine.
08:55 Gemma.
08:59 Good reaction there by Kat.
09:01 Sisi again!
09:02 Dug up by Tots.
09:05 Exchange, Gemma able to squeeze it!
09:07 No.
09:08 Sharp serve by Regine.
09:16 Out of system again.
09:19 Joust.
09:20 And a chance here for Choco Mucho.
09:25 Maddie.
09:25 Haven't heard from her in a while.
09:28 Gemma.
09:29 Kyle reverses to Tots.
09:35 Oh, what an effort by both Ponce and Arrocha!
09:38 Ooh!
09:40 - Almost hit the scoreboard.
09:41 - Bangs puts it away!
09:43 What a perfect set by Kyle Degrito.
09:46 16-0.
09:49 Dina underhands it.
09:53 Bea unable to put it away,
09:58 and that is always dangerous because on the counter,
10:01 you have Tots Garbus waiting.
10:04 This is where it gets a little tight and tense.
10:07 18-0.
10:09 She has been cold.
10:12 Good serve, good first ball by Sisi.
10:16 Combination play here.
10:18 Gemma!
10:21 Kat sends it to the back line.

10:38 - That's right, 22-20.
10:39 Chance to counter here.
10:40 They go to Kate.
10:42 Kate sends it over.
10:43 Nafey.
10:45 Nahipo.
10:48 Dina reverses.
10:49 Maddie.
10:50 What a block there!
10:55 But it's still alive!
10:57 Dina tries to go for the one-two.
10:59 Wong.
11:01 Maddie puts it away!
11:03 Gemma asking for it.
11:11 It's sent back.
11:12 Back to Gemma.
11:15 Bumalik na naman.
11:16 A chance to counter here for Choco.
11:21 Hirai.
11:22 Pick up by Ponce.
11:25 Shoot to Gemma.
11:27 Gemma!
11:27 In this game.
11:32 And she is ready to attack.
11:34 Sent back!
11:42 The set was a bit far, Gavreel.
11:46 Medyo malayo din yung distansya sa net.
11:49 First things first, you need to pass it up to Dina Wong
11:53 because she also has a--
11:54 - Before the set started, Eliza Vargas huddled her team
11:56 and really led a prayer.
11:58 Now, I got some notes on their huddle and it was a Kripkon.
12:02 Some reminders on service receives.
12:04 Kailangan nilang ayusin araw.
12:05 Araw nilang ginagawa.
12:07 And it's a basic reminder, it's like always saying "mine."
12:10 Now, communication is a huge factor.
12:13 - And miscommunication's been happening.
12:15 Two-three after that Eliza Valdez kill.
12:19 CC.
12:20 Tots on the other end.
12:25 Dina up to CC again.
12:28 Bangs, able to handle that one.
12:30 Valdez is rejected at the net!
12:33 - Throughout the years in fifth setters.
12:38 - Yeah.
12:39 She's won and lost in this set number five.
12:42 Back to Eliza.
12:47 Back to Creamline.
12:49 CC had to adjust.
12:56 Gemma up for it.
12:57 For the pickup.
12:58 Thoughts, nobody going with her.
13:01 Cine, good decision by Creamline here.
13:03 But, Rally's still alive.
13:06 Valdez.
13:07 Rejected again!
13:11 Castelletino this time.
13:13 - Helping Chocomucho right now, defending the net well.
13:17 And they're just ganging up on Eliza Valdez.
13:22 Scott Carlis in the back row.
13:24 - Scramble here for Choco and a free ball for Creamline.
13:32 Down two!
13:33 Make the down one!
13:35 Sako-san!
13:35 Good serve again.
13:39 Pidiel.
13:41 Gets the point!
13:43 What an impact for her off the bench.
13:45 Five points on four attacks in a block.
13:49 (crowd cheering)
13:52 Back set again to Cat.
13:55 Thoughts was up for it.
13:56 Cat will try again.
14:00 What defense here by Creamline.
14:03 But what net defense!
14:06 Oh!
14:09 That is big!
14:10 And that is her third service error,
14:13 but this one the most expensive.
14:15 - If it were up to Creamline.
14:17 (crowd cheering)
14:20 - Back to Cece.
14:22 Rejected!
14:22 Oh, that was big!
14:26 Safe serve.
14:29 Cece says, "We're not done yet."
14:35 14, championship point, one saved.
14:38 Eliza.
14:40 And Creamline has done it!
14:44 (crowd cheering)
14:47 And Eliza Valdes delivers the killer blow once again!
14:55 Once again.
