00:00 Wow.
00:02 Here's Clarito over to Belga, handoff back to Clarito.
00:06 Karakot for three, wow!
00:09 On fire!
00:10 He'll be undersized or not, but if he shoots that three ball with consistency, wow.
00:15 Demus is there, the hoop and the harm for him. Beautiful pass from Paul Belga.
00:20 Let's take a look at this once again. Bullet pass coming from Belga to the cutting Demus, the hoop and the harm.
00:25 Six seconds to shoot here for the white shirts.
00:32 Wammy lets it fly from downtown, got it!
00:35 You know, I'm really amazed by the way Wammy Chongzun has been really shooting.
00:41 I mean, Terrafirma has become a home and Wammy Chongzun is the cornerstone of this franchise.
00:47 In and out that time for Big Boat Belga.
00:49 I was shocked when I, when I, about five.
00:56 Look at it right here, a step back.
00:58 You know, this is not an easy three point shot to make because it's coming off a step back.
01:03 Very good IQ and a good feel.
01:06 Also, a very rough play.
01:11 You were probably trying to figure out the perfect description.
01:21 Strong, strong, strong.
01:24 Crazy athleticism there by Nick.
01:31 Just elevating and slamming it home.
01:34 Here's Ramos over to Calvo.
01:41 Isaac, nice pass to home down low.
01:44 You know, Isaac has developed his passing skills, most especially here in the pro league.
01:49 It's very critical for you to be able to execute those pinpoint passes similar to what Bo Belga is doing.
01:56 But what a nice 360 spin move there.
02:00 Clarito working some magic on the floor.
02:04 11 to 7 is a count, nine minutes and change in the opening period.
02:07 Ramos.
02:09 Now with Holt.
02:11 Holt lets it fly from downtown.
02:13 Got it.
02:15 Three point shooting has really been a weapon.
02:20 Because he's been one of the big weapons in the three point shot.
02:26 Big Bo Belga putting the ball on the floor.
02:30 Looking to coach John there.
02:32 Look at the way, look at right here, right here.
02:36 Part about guarding Wamee Johnson because if you know he can hurt you from three
02:40 and then you would have to close out into the Ole's opening sub.
02:44 Bor-Boran, the ageless wonder.
02:51 16 to 12, nice steal here from Caldwell.
02:54 He's going to be all the way for two.
02:58 Easy basket right there, turning defense into offense.
03:02 He's the kind of player who will always compete even if he's undersized.
03:07 Belga.
03:10 Over to Bor-Boran who puts it in.
03:12 And that's part of the system of coaching.
03:14 You know, he would always get mad at his players if he would just be watching around.
03:18 So, you know, there's a lot of -- he puts a lot of emphasis on movement.
03:22 Did he get mad at you a lot?
03:23 Oh, yes, of course.
03:24 Of course.
03:25 I saw Coach turning the negative into a positive.
03:27 All my coaches got mad at me a lot.
03:30 Both leagues, the PBA and the NBA, approaching a crazy postseason
03:37 as Demusus has been tearing it up here in this first period.
03:44 It's also, you know, it's like it's a crucial part of the tournament already.
03:49 Even in the PBA, even if you say it's the elimination round of the Philippine Cup.
03:55 Under five minutes to go in opening period.
03:58 Bor-Boran.
04:00 I mean, they just read it so fast.
04:03 Clarito sends it back out.
04:05 That's a three ball on the way.
04:07 No good for Andre.
04:10 Here's Wami on the other end.
04:12 Chongsun sends it over to Jello Alolino.
04:15 Puts it up and gets the hoop and the harm.
04:19 Beautiful play by Chongsun Alolino.
04:22 Chongsun did the right thing by just, like, going to the right.
04:26 And Jello just went straight to the hole.
04:28 This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda,
04:31 the official motorcycle of the -- using the cams on screen.
04:34 Alolino, baseline jumper in and out for him.
04:37 Rebound back, stolen by Carino.
04:39 Trying to make that -- that's going to be Camson scoring down low,
04:43 but that's a steal by Sanggalang.
04:46 Dokum.
04:49 Using the sandy screen.
04:51 All the way.
04:52 Nice pass.
04:53 And Santellan with the finish.
04:55 The thought of the team.
04:56 Look at it right here.
04:57 Drove.
04:58 He saw the lane.
04:59 Draw that help.
05:01 And all it takes is just a nice drop.
05:03 Here we go.
05:04 Jello Alolino.
05:05 His team currently down by three.
05:08 Now with Jello.
05:10 Look at that pass.
05:11 Beautiful finish as well.
05:13 Jello.
05:16 Rainer Shine on the counter.
05:17 Dokum almost loses the handle.
05:19 Bello wide open all day to shoot this one, and he drills it.
05:23 Let go, Jake.
05:24 Shout at me.
05:25 I don't care.
05:27 Holt against Il Difonso.
05:28 Nice pass over to Isaac.
05:30 Go with the finish.
05:31 Both teams have really been issuing a lot of great passes here.
05:40 Dokum.
05:43 Bello.
05:44 Turnaround jumper short.
05:46 Here's Alolino.
05:47 Four-point game in favor of Rainer Shine.
05:50 Holt will turn on the Jets and draw the foul.
05:55 And he also has a nice broadcasting career.
05:57 Oh, yeah.
05:58 He's very good at that.
05:59 Very talented already.
06:00 Yeah.
06:02 Three-ball here from Kahilig.
06:04 Wow.
06:05 Four-point play opportunity here.
06:07 Let's take a look at this once again.
06:13 This is the right foot of Kahilig.
06:16 They're just joining us.
06:17 This contest has been really close throughout here in the first half
06:20 as Chongsun throws it up and puts it in.
06:24 That's an off-balance shot right there.
06:27 It's also pointing at the referee.
06:29 Looking for the foul, but he does get the steal instead.
06:32 Wame leading the way over to Holt.
06:35 Holt finds himself wide open and puts it in.
06:40 Both sides.
06:41 Very true.
06:42 I mean, you see a lot of these guys really been taking a lot of those threes,
06:45 and they're making it.
06:47 The nice part about it is they never hesitate to take that three.
06:51 And that was in a conference when there was an import.
06:55 So, of course, both dominant imports.
06:57 But here in the All-Filipino, he is showing why he deserves to be the number one pick.
07:01 That's very true.
07:02 I mean, in the early part of the first couple of practice games,
07:06 I've been talking to some of the guys in Terrafir, mind you,
07:08 saying he's the real deal.
07:10 But then when I saw him already in the real game, and, yes,
07:13 that was an import conference in the Commissioner's Cup,
07:16 he did struggle for a while there because you always have to give--
07:19 in an import conference, you have to give it to the import.
07:22 But then, you know, when they're no longer here because it's the Philippine Cup,
07:26 that's where you appreciate the Terrafir Batim getting Stephen Holt
07:30 because he's giving import-like numbers every single night.
07:34 It's raining threes inside the Kalaokan Sports Complex.
07:39 Stephen Holt wants to answer.
07:41 He heard you.
07:42 He heard you.
07:44 What a game this is here in the first half.
07:47 Tied at 59.
07:49 Both teams not giving an inch to the other.
07:56 Karakot, 10 seconds to shoot.
08:00 Sends it over to Belga.
08:01 Let's it fly from downtown.
08:03 Drills it.
08:07 Against Carino.
08:08 Karakot kicks it back out.
08:09 Clarito for three.
08:11 Got it.
08:12 Three points again.
08:15 Here's Calvo.
08:17 Sends it over to Ramos for three.
08:19 Got it.
08:22 Now, with Wame.
08:23 Chongsun will attack.
08:24 Chongsun.
08:27 That's the second time he has done that, Gino.
08:30 Those magical shots.
08:33 Oh, that bad, bad man.
08:37 They seem to be unassuming, but they will do this if you give them that opportunity.
08:44 Carino, back to Holt.
08:46 Five seconds to shoot.
08:48 Holt will attack.
08:49 Holt.
08:50 The extra pass to Javi from the corner.
08:52 Got it.
08:53 Great patience.
08:54 Yes, yes, exactly.
08:56 And they really took their time, Stephen Holt.
08:58 You know, the veteran in him, the experience, he was able to still find his teammate wide open on the opposite side.
09:05 Belga.
09:07 Can't convert.
09:08 Here comes Javi on the break.
09:10 Holt back to Javi.
09:11 Bolognese de Leano with the finish.
09:16 Here's Bello.
09:17 Back to Mamu.
09:18 Mamu with a series of moves, kicks it back out to Borbaran.
09:21 Corner three ball.
09:22 Got it.
09:23 Good.
09:24 Garakut with the rebound.
09:25 That's a big no-no on the weak side.
09:28 To have a guard out-rebound you because of Paso.
09:31 And he trails it.
09:32 --of the ball game now with the rain or shine, it lasts the Painters.
09:38 As they are up 13 points.
09:42 Holding down teams to below 90 or around 85 or 80 points per game.
09:47 Magnolia did that in the previous conferences and they went all the way to the finals.
09:51 Kahelic stops the bleeding for Terafirma with that.
09:55 Clarito had a great first half.
09:57 Stephen Holt coming alive also in this ball game as he takes that layup.
10:03 So a chance here for Terafirma to get closer.
10:06 Javi puts it on the floor.
10:09 Nice move by Javi Gomez de Leal.
10:11 That's excellent read there on the part of Javi.
10:14 Stephen Holt sends it out to Isaac for three.
10:20 Good from downtown.
10:22 Great baseline inbound execution.
10:25 You could hear assistant coach Mons Gaviris trying to tell his players to delay that entry pass from the baseline drive
10:33 because they were able to get some action on the weak side or the opposite side.
10:38 7-0 run for Terafirma brings them within threes.
10:42 Limiting Rainer's hand to just one shot attempt and it's off to the races for them on the other side.
10:48 Karakut puts it on the floor.
10:50 Karakut all the way to the cup.
10:52 Gets it to fall.
10:54 In the initial, yes, it looked like he flopped.
10:56 I apologize, Clarito.
10:58 That was clear.
11:00 That's what they were trying to say. They have to really clear that rebound and not give Rainer Shain a second chance.
11:05 That's exactly what Doreen reported coming from Johnny Del Cardel and they paved the way big time.
11:10 Yes, that's ouch right there.
11:12 Making it more difficult for Terafirma to read what kind of sets they are playing on the court.
11:17 Karakut wants to break down Isaac Gomez.
11:20 Decides to take a triple and drill it.
11:22 Back to their biggest lead of the ballgame.
11:25 I mean, Isaac played him correctly already because he went beyond the three-point line.
11:30 A shot from the parking lot there.
11:33 He hit one over Carino earlier. Now he hits it over Isaac Go.
11:36 Wame Chongsun stops the bleeding there for Terafirma.
11:39 5.22 left to go in the fourth and final.
11:42 Here's Wame over to Isaac.
11:45 Go with the push shot. It's no good.
11:47 He gets his own miss and will turn the negative into positive.
11:50 Galang tried to keep that ball alive and he was able to at least fight for that loose ball.
11:56 Four-point run for Terafirma.
12:02 It's back to a three-possession game.
12:07 Belga open for three.
12:09 Wow! Big Bo Belga unconscious from downtown.
12:14 Over to Javi.
12:15 Javi sends it back to Wame.
12:18 Touch pass. Great defense there.
12:21 And they're going to find Big Bo Belga all alone for the easy basket.
12:25 Stephen holds hand.
12:27 To the waiting arms of Big Bo Belga.
12:30 That's why. This is what really hurts the most.
12:33 Gino with the weight.
12:34 There's never been a question about Big Bo Belga's knowledge of the game
12:38 and his also ability to play the game of basketball.
12:41 I mean, I would remember back in the day when we were in the national team.
12:47 Of course, I wasn't in the PBA yet.
12:48 He did make a contribution because of course, you know, that size of Belga and that skill set,
12:53 that is actually going to be good for their national competition.
12:56 They were getting a lot of assists also.
12:59 And that in itself will relieve you of the pressure of having to really carry it on your own hands.
13:05 But after a couple of tough wins against Ginebra, a tough loss against San Miguel for Terafirma,
13:10 it looks like they're going to be able to or it looks like they're going to end up dropping this game against Rainer Schein.
13:20 Stolen there by Holt.
13:21 Here is Javi with a little bit of a getaway all the way to the basket.
13:27 And with under a minute to win it, the Rainer Schein Elazo Painters.
13:32 Santi Santillan scores once again on that layup.
13:35 But it looks like Rainer Schein will get their fourth win in a row here.
13:45 So this gives Keith Datu enough time to be able to recover because to at least give them a complete lineup.
13:54 You saw Datu earlier in the bench in street clothes.
13:57 Their prized rookie.
14:00 But what a fantastic showing here for Coach Yang Yao's side.
14:05 Really from start to finish.
