SportsTranscript
00:00 An indication of today's game could be that both teams would have made their adjustments already.
00:05 So we will see.
00:06 And I did have a conversation with some Adamson players as UST scores courtesy of J-Rock de la Noche,
00:13 especially their team captain.
00:14 5-4, Francis Casas, ball up by Van Prudenciado, combination play, de Vega.
00:22 Oh, good save.
00:23 That was by John Gay.
00:24 Back set onto Francis, down the line target.
00:26 Ducks will counter with J-Rock.
00:29 Yes.
00:30 Back row attack, anyone is a threat.
00:33 And then you go to de la Noche there.
00:36 Charlie's replacement last year was Popoy Colinares.
00:42 Ah, yeah, right.
00:43 Attack from the opposite, ball put up by UST.
00:46 Bit of a scramble.
00:47 Chance ball for Adamson.
00:48 Can they maximize?
00:50 Onto the opposite again, Redwell.
00:53 Now it's Aguilar.
00:57 Ibanez got a hand.
00:59 Paulino keeping it alive.
01:01 It's tight.
01:02 Good drop by Aguilar.
01:05 Oh, back and forth the ball goes.
01:08 Bit of a scramble.
01:10 Chance ball again for Adamson.
01:11 There's the set.
01:13 Oh, to the right pin.
01:15 And it's the first point for Dan Gutierrez.
01:17 Well, they worked hard for that point.
01:19 You got to give it to Adamson.
01:21 Save that ball, going to the net and still keeping that ball in play.
01:25 I mean, they deserve to get that point.
01:27 The native of Samar, able to deliver once again.
01:32 Now he will be serving.
01:33 Good serve.
01:36 Here's Josh Ibanez, rejected at the net.
01:40 That must feel good.
01:41 Huge for your ego.
01:43 That was Jude Aguilar, number seven in the league in terms of blocking.
01:48 These two teams went into five sets in the first round.
01:52 That's a service ace for Josh Ibanez.
01:55 Adamson inbound zone one.
01:56 Look at this.
01:58 Completely free.
02:00 Well, after all, Josh Ibanez is also number three in the league.
02:04 The blockers are like on their way down, then you can hit it through.
02:07 Menor with the receive.
02:10 Lawrence opens up.
02:11 Paulino with a cross.
02:12 Oh, much needed point for Adamson there.
02:16 It's been consistent for Adamson.
02:18 Paulino, right?
02:19 In their previous game, he had seven as a starter.
02:23 That's in three sets.
02:25 Service in.
02:26 Aguilar wasn't too happy about it.
02:27 Josh Ibanez soaring from the back.
02:30 Read well by the net defense.
02:32 Nice.
02:33 That looked good for G-boy.
02:34 I like the reason.
02:35 Because G-boy would more often than not go for that power kick.
02:40 So we look for his variation.
02:42 Here it is.
02:43 In general, as a person.
02:46 So it's rare to see him celebrate like that.
02:50 Combination on the other end.
02:53 What you can do, not what you did.
02:55 23-17, Domingo.
02:59 Oh, that's read perfectly by Popoy Colinares.
03:02 And you know, that guy has quite a few stories about engineering students
03:12 transferring out of their courses.
03:15 But it's the reverse for Popoy Colinares.
03:17 Who, by the way, once again, prevailed at the net as that was a good
03:21 attack for Adamson.
03:23 Even architecture students like Choi Diao of NU.
03:26 That was really hard.
03:27 Nice serve by Jayrock.
03:29 You did say he is the top scorer.
03:32 And like maybe Yambao got a hand at that.
03:34 4-6.
03:36 John Gay, two attack points so far.
03:38 Back set to Jayrock.
03:39 Nice hand time.
03:40 Oh, good save though.
03:41 Chance ball for UST.
03:43 It's Colinares.
03:45 Down the ball goes.
03:47 UST would want to pull away, but they're still here knocking at their doors.
03:53 Oh, Josh Ibanez causing some chaos on the defensive side of Adamson.
03:58 And here's Josh.
03:59 Oh, it's so hard trying to defend that man.
04:03 Dan Gutierrez getting ready to serve.
04:07 Last game's magic bunot straight to Josh Ibanez.
04:10 Rainier floor.
04:13 See, that's what happens when you have Josh receiving.
04:16 Francis Casas.
04:18 Ball up by Josh.
04:20 Ducks onto Jayrock.
04:21 Pambawe.
04:22 Not yet.
04:24 And here's Adamson with Paulino.
04:26 Straight to the back.
04:27 That's a back row tip.
04:30 Yambao faking the attack and it's Colinares who puts that ball away.
04:35 Coach OG very, very good.
04:38 Very, very good.
04:40 Coach OG very, very good.
04:42 Looks like it.
04:44 Like he's light.
04:45 Yambao to Josh.
04:48 Nice block by Adamson.
04:50 That would be a great combination.
04:55 Play good defense.
04:57 That's a block by Lawrence Domingo, the setter.
05:01 Look at the height difference between Kogimbal and Domingo.
05:07 And he gets the block.
05:09 Right?
05:10 But can Adamson capitalize?
05:12 It has to start with their service.
05:14 That's in.
05:16 But then Chado receives and here's Josh.
05:18 Straight to the back.
05:20 Nobody was there.
05:21 I think it's the lacking.
05:24 Improvement.
05:26 Well, they're not.
05:28 There's no improvement because that was miscue as we were talking about it.
05:33 Yambao serves with a full front line.
05:37 Received by Calas.
05:38 That was an over-receive.
05:40 Gutierrez blocked.
05:42 It's Domingo who finds the back row.
05:45 But you want them to be that aggressive every time.
05:51 But Domingo is now the second leading scorer of Adamson.
05:55 That's pretty concerning, right?
05:57 Yes.
05:58 That's a block point for Francis Casas.
06:01 Badly needed by the Falcons.
06:03 Can't be too playful here.
06:07 It's Avila who back sets onto J-Rock de la Noche.
06:10 Aguilar fading away on that hit.
06:13 And here's Josh Ibanez.
06:15 Smart play.
06:17 22-18.
06:21 Ibanez now serves.
06:23 That's in.
06:25 Gutierrez receives.
06:26 Back to Dan.
06:27 Got a hand.
06:29 Ball put up by Avila.
06:30 And here's G-Boy de Vega.
06:31 Wow! What a hit!
06:33 Straight to zone number 5.
06:35 And he gets a hug.
06:37 Service in.
06:38 Good pass.
06:39 Domingo onto the quick.
06:41 Nice dig by Josh de la Noche.
06:43 Sends it through.
06:45 And here's the counter.
06:47 Cross-scored for Francis Casas.
06:48 Beautiful.
06:50 Which should be the norm for them.
06:51 Ibanez receives.
06:53 Combination play.
06:55 Wow!
06:56 Great hand time by J-Rock de la Noche.
06:58 Great adjustment into the top 4 or final 4.
07:02 We got to win our games.
07:04 They're playing today like, you know,
07:06 like it's just another day in the office.
07:08 No sense of urgency.
07:10 And just like that,
07:12 USD wins another set off of a point by Popoy Colinares.
07:15 25-19.
07:17 Okay, so now we are in set number 3.
07:20 This is Mixed Commons with Noreen Goh.
07:22 Slide.
07:23 Ball dug up by Avila.
07:24 And Domingo will go back onto Aguilar.
07:27 It's Cudenchado with the dig.
07:29 De la Noche off the block.
07:31 And the ball goes straight to Coach George.
07:34 Control, eh?
07:35 Neutral, eh?
07:36 You have to take risks.
07:38 You have to step on the gas.
07:40 Speaking of stepping on the gas,
07:42 that's the theme for J-Rock de la Noche today.
07:44 And here's Pao Paulino.
07:46 8 points to his name.
07:47 Good serve.
07:50 Receives.
07:51 And here's Josh Ibanez.
07:52 Wow!
07:54 What a cross-court hit.
07:55 I mean, Canlas was there.
07:57 Avila.
07:59 Back set onto J-Rock.
08:00 Not the best of angles for him.
08:02 Chance to counter.
08:03 It's Casas.
08:05 Ball dug up by J-Boy.
08:06 Wow!
08:08 Good save!
08:09 It's a back row hit for Paulino.
08:10 Off-speed!
08:12 Scrambled first.
08:13 And it's a point for Adamson.
08:14 It's been traditional already for them
08:16 to have floor defense still at the high.
08:18 Another one.
08:20 Not much power there.
08:22 J-Boy will set up.
08:24 Josh Ibanez.
08:25 Cross-court hit!
08:26 Will he reach a big number again?
08:30 Coming off of 34.
08:32 Cross-court for Casas.
08:33 Ball dug up.
08:35 Nice save by UST.
08:36 Free ball now for Adamson.
08:38 They send it to John Gay.
08:39 Blocked!
08:40 8 and 7 respectively in the first two sets.
08:45 Combination.
08:47 It's an attack from the middle.
08:48 Rainier floor.
08:49 The backup setter for UST.
08:52 John Gay receives.
08:54 It's Aguilar.
08:56 Pambaway sa kabila.
09:00 14-13.
09:01 Received by J-Boy.
09:03 Aguilar back sets onto J-Rock.
09:05 Pushing it onto the back row of Adamson.
09:07 Paulino against two blockers.
09:09 Dug up by Josh.
09:10 Ibanez!
09:12 He covered himself.
09:14 Chance ball.
09:16 Oh, Domingo with a miss hit.
09:17 Free ball on the other end.
09:19 It's J-Boy de Vega with a cross.
09:21 Not to mention others.
09:26 Paulino serves it in.
09:29 Aguilar onto Josh.
09:31 Looking at the referee.
09:33 There was a touch.
09:34 And he's been subbed out here and there.
09:39 Yeah, yeah.
09:40 Back set onto J-Rock de la Noche who hasn't been subbed out.
09:44 And that forces a scramble.
09:46 18-16.
09:50 10 excellent sets.
09:51 Wow!
09:52 For Joshua Aguilar off the bench.
09:53 Oh!
09:55 Good save.
09:56 Scramble.
09:57 That's quite dangerous for Canlas.
09:59 [Whistle]
10:00 Quick for UST.
10:06 That works.
10:07 How about the efficiency of Rainier Floor?
10:09 Eight points now to his name.
10:11 Just in sports.
10:12 It's Coach OG Mamon.
10:13 Service in.
10:15 Josh receives.
10:16 Joshua onto J-Boy.
10:19 Nice back and save.
10:20 It's tight.
10:21 Still!
10:23 A drop for Adamson.
10:24 Francis Casas scores.
10:27 Aguilar sends that ball in.
10:28 Received by G-Boy.
10:29 De Vega attacks.
10:31 Yes!
10:32 Deadlock at 23.
10:33 Here it is.
10:37 Sherman sends that ball in.
10:40 Received by Canlas.
10:41 Domingo set onto Casas.
10:44 And it works!
10:45 Set point.
10:47 Who would have thought after the first two sets.
10:49 One thing, Adamson, you have to say they've been doing right.
10:53 The slaughter part of the third set is serving well and defending well.
10:57 Here's G-Boy De Vega.
10:59 Pull up by Adamson.
11:00 Chance!
11:01 And it drops!
11:02 We're going to a set number four.
11:05 Coach George Pascoe is so happy.
11:07 You know, towards the last, what, four games of each team.
11:12 Each win is really important.
11:15 Molinares able to score from the middle.
11:18 Let's just go back to the game.
11:21 Three all in set number four.
11:23 Here's G-Boy tipping that ball onto the other side.
11:28 Chance for Adamson.
11:29 Back row for John.
11:30 Good dig.
11:31 Ibanez sends it back to De Vega.
11:34 Nice block by Teoco Gimbal.
11:37 Ibanez receives.
11:40 Duck sets.
11:41 De Vega attacks.
11:42 Chase for Casas.
11:44 And he sent the ball onto the wrong direction.
11:47 Good effort though.
11:49 Taking a look at the previous games of Adamson and UST as Molinares gets blocked.
11:55 Adamson's only five setter was that game versus the Golden Spikers.
11:59 Now they get the point.
12:01 Five points.
12:03 Receive. A better one there for G-Boy.
12:06 But great timing by Judah Gilar.
12:08 How are you going to react?
12:11 You gotta get more creative.
12:12 Receive again for G-Boy De Vega.
12:15 Ibanez getting creative.
12:16 Like that.
12:18 It's De La Noche.
12:19 Ibanez.
12:20 And floor as options.
12:23 In the front row.
12:24 Nice drop by Judah Gilar.
12:26 Will there be a challenge?
12:28 9-8.
12:30 Ibanez receives.
12:33 It's De Vega.
12:34 Blockers are nowhere near him.
12:36 12 serving 9.
12:40 Adamson looking good.
12:41 And they send us to his set number 5.
12:43 Receive by Prudenciado.
12:46 That's a back row hit for the MVP.
12:48 Ball sent across.
12:49 How about the effort by Adamson?
12:52 De Vega.
12:53 Oh, there's a check.
12:54 Yeah, that was a check.
12:55 But you know, again.
12:56 That's their first service error in this set.
13:01 After having 5 in set 3.
13:03 De Vega.
13:04 That drops.
13:05 G-Boy De Vega now at the back row.
13:09 Sharp serve.
13:12 Nice receive by Canlas.
13:14 And it's Paulino.
13:15 Ball put up by UST.
13:16 They go to Josh.
13:18 Very creative again.
13:20 He's smart.
13:21 It's going to be interesting how they can continue to improve.
13:25 And we know they will.
13:28 With a good coach as well.
13:30 Domingo.
13:32 Back to the open.
13:33 John Kay.
13:34 It goes through.
13:35 Bit of a scramble.
13:36 Miss cue as well.
13:37 Chance ball, Adamson.
13:39 Aguilar.
13:40 Back to John.
13:41 It's low now.
13:44 In Menor.
13:45 Bermudez.
13:47 On to John Kay.
13:48 Is it a rebound?
13:49 Still nothing.
13:50 The counter.
13:52 Comes from Josh.
13:53 Ibanez will score.
13:54 Deadlock at 16.
13:55 Well, there's your answer, Mick.
13:57 You were asking about.
13:58 Settle down.
14:00 Make some stops here.
14:01 Canlas receives.
14:03 Slide again.
14:04 Nice dig by Ducks.
14:06 Rainier floor pushes.
14:07 Canlas.
14:09 Back to June.
14:10 Great drop.
14:11 Beautiful read.
14:13 Very smart.
14:14 21 to 20.
14:16 Service in.
14:19 Jayrock de la Noche.
14:21 It's been quite a while.
14:22 That's a good save.
14:24 Regalo.
14:25 Oh!
14:26 It's blocked.
14:27 But straight outside.
14:28 So the point belongs to June Cordovega.
14:29 Set 3 score was 25-23.
14:32 De la Noche.
14:35 Service in.
14:36 Canlas receives.
14:37 Back set.
14:38 On to Casas.
14:39 And they get the point.
14:41 That's Adamson.
14:42 Good serve.
14:43 Yeah.
14:44 That's in.
14:45 Yambau to the MVP.
14:46 And that's it.
14:47 Josh Ibanez walks off with 25 points.
14:48 And the victory for USD.
14:49 And the winner is the USD.
14:50 Josh Ibanez.
14:51 And the winner is the USD.
14:52 Josh Ibanez.
14:53 And the winner is the USD.
14:54 Josh Ibanez.
14:55 And the winner is the USD.
14:56 Josh Ibanez.
14:57 And the winner is the USD.
14:58 Josh Ibanez.
14:59 And the winner is the USD.
