00:00A lot of great teams, including that match at 5-setter against Chocomucho, really struggling
00:07in the last two.
00:08It started with that 3-set defeat against Cherry, Figo, where they really looked like
00:15they were scrambling.
00:16And then the loss to Signal, which really hurt them and helped everybody else get into
00:22the semifinals.
00:23I mean, that's just a testament to how intense this conference has been and unpredictable.
00:31It's like our first rally, partner.
00:33Yes, exactly.
00:34Thoughts would come off the bench, or the import would come up, right?
00:37She would replace the import.
00:40They said, MG is so competitive.
00:44Yes.
00:45Well, everybody in the team, but when I speak with Ella or Elisa, there's a mental aspect
00:52to that.
00:53And I guess, really trying to milk that starting 6.
00:59And it also goes to show how they react to a situation.
01:04Before, she became this level of thought, Carlos.
01:07Right.
01:08Or Gemma, even.
01:09Gemma as well, of course.
01:12Santos.
01:13Nice off-speed.
01:14Could have gotten that already, over on 1.
01:22But they move on.
01:24Yep.
01:25Swipe.
01:26Gemma with a pancake.
01:27Elisa from behind, with the aid of the net.
01:32Yes, you know, you mentioned full minutes in their last game against Chocobocho.
01:37And then now, you know, you see glimpses of her, how strong and formidable she is.
01:42Kept in the semifinals.
01:44Oh, that's a good one from Manjoy.
01:48Trajectory.
01:49Nakapatong sa bola.
01:51And a perfect pass.
01:54Most likely means a set to the middle blocker.
01:59Out of system.
02:02And two straight points by PLD team.
02:07Yes, of course.
02:11This team is going to look very different.
02:14Very dangerous.
02:15Very dangerous with them.
02:17Jovi too, of course.
02:19That probably when Creamline gets into the semifinals, there will be a game, if not the first game, of their semifinals.
02:28Katalsik lang.
02:29Katalsik lang talaga siya.
02:31Kasi ang bigat pumalo.
02:33Correct.
02:35What a good reaction there by the younger Galanza.
02:40Fajardo chooses Palomata.
02:43Who goes for the kill?
02:46What a first set so far.
02:49Two serving.
02:50Oh, no.
02:51That was called in.
02:53Learned from Coach Tai, because I remember, you know, sitting beside him, he would always say, make sure your serves are on point.
03:01Speaking of on point.
03:03The set was on point.
03:05The run was on point.
03:07The swing was on point.
03:11Bangs Banaga once again.
03:14The competition really, this conference, just amazing.
03:19Galanza on that scissor play from Greenline.
03:23A trademark already for the Cool Smashers.
03:26Kahit nakapikit na tong mga tog, magagawa ng tama.
03:30Alam ko yung sinasabi mo.
03:32Usual play, pero...
03:34Ang daming usual play.
03:36Oo, parang ang hirap paring bantayan.
03:38Correct.
03:39Because there's just so many plays in their book right now.
03:42Kim saving this one.
03:44Chance ball.
03:46That's a good ball by Aliza, or by Kat Arado to Aliza.
03:50A tip.
03:52Kim will send it and shoot it.
03:54The savvy and savvy scores.
03:58The friends and families in attendance.
04:02For both of our squads.
04:04Friends, families and celebrities.
04:06Yes.
04:08For serving eight.
04:10What a serve.
04:12And what a receive.
04:14What a receive by Savvy Davison.
04:17Of a very sharp serve.
04:19Serving.
04:24Galanza.
04:26By the opening.
04:28Nobody home down the line.
04:306-11.
04:35Sav from behind.
04:37Bumalik.
04:39Atienza.
04:41But my joy will not be denied.
04:46Great start by PLDT here in the set.
04:51Arado with a one-handed dig herself.
04:54Our liberos are so good here.
04:57Every spot is a showdown.
05:02Another one.
05:04Sav.
05:06With an angle.
05:09Biggest lead of PLDT is right now at 7.
05:15Chema in the middle.
05:17Kim was there. Kat will send it to Sav.
05:21Jesus.
05:25Fajardo to Majoy.
05:28Jesus.
05:30Will set to Gumabau.
05:32Kept alive by Ceballos.
05:34And Savvy will just roll it over.
05:37In the middle.
05:38Doug.
05:39Counterattack.
05:41Bang.
05:43Bigger picture it seems like.
05:45The Cool Smashers have yet to find the good rhythm in this set.
05:50Wow.
05:53Kill block.
05:59Out of system.
06:00Kat will send it over.
06:04Dog by Ceballos.
06:06Santos on the other end.
06:09The lead is 7.
06:15Sorry, the lead is 9 rather.
06:19Wow.
06:20Beautiful answer here.
06:23Arado with coverage.
06:25Sav will do it again.
06:27And puts it away.
06:30One of the heavier servers in the league.
06:35She receives there.
06:36Galanza.
06:37Oh wow.
06:38Will be rejected.
06:39What an emphatic, impending second set with...
06:43...adjustment from Chema.
06:46Erika's wingspan is long.
06:48That's right.
06:53Free ball.
06:54For Cream Line.
06:57PDL.
07:06Combination play.
07:09Kim Fajardo executing it.
07:11Erika Santos finishing it.
07:14But look at them there.
07:16That's why credit has to go to them.
07:18Because they came out here with all guns blazing.
07:22Kim Fajardo winning the jousts here so far.
07:26Savvy from behind.
07:28Fires one.
07:33Ceballos helping out Davison.
07:36Davison.
07:37No need for help there.
07:40Pons gets it back.
07:42Good dive there by Sav.
07:46Negrito will go back to Pons.
07:48Arado again.
07:52PDL.
07:53Fajardo puts it up.
07:55Ceballos right behind the blockers.
08:00Seeing how both of these squads floor defenders are doing so well.
08:07Nine will be serving ten.
08:12Good pass there by Savvy.
08:15Sets up Erika Santos from the right pin.
08:18When you're tired, you're not going to think anymore.
08:23And that's the goal overall.
08:26That's a perfect pass from her.
08:29Dive by Bernadette.
08:32Negrito takes it.
08:34That's a third touch.
08:36Shoot to Galanza.
08:38And she puts it away.
08:40Prior to the spank.
08:42If we can catch another slow-mo replay.
08:45That's a perfect pass from her.
08:47And she puts it away.
08:49That's a third touch.
08:51Shoot to Galanza.
08:53And she puts it away.
08:55Prior to the spank.
08:57If we can catch another slow-mo replay.
08:59That's a third touch.
09:01If we can catch another slow-mo replay.
09:03Of Gemma Galanza.
09:05Try to notice.
09:07And again, nothing to lose.
09:09Here at the tail end of set number three.
09:11And sometimes.
09:13The challenge is to get out of the momentum.
09:15And get back a little bit of it.
09:17As Gemma Galanza does there.
09:23Gemma receiving.
09:25Bangs with the left hand.
09:27And she gives PLDT set number three.
09:31Number one in scoring.
09:33If I'm not mistaken.
09:35Davidson.
09:37High up on that one.
09:3921 points.
09:53At this level.
09:55Especially the competitiveness level.
09:57Of this conference alone.
09:59It's measured in.
10:01Inches.
10:03Minutes.
10:05Height.
10:07Length.
10:11Seven-all.
10:13Overpass again.
10:15Set to Ceballos.
10:17She saw that one.
10:19A little bit to go.
10:21But yeah.
10:23Their timing was ruined.
10:25Ceballos gets it back.
10:27How about her?
10:2912 points in this match.
10:31For a running attack.
10:33Our running attack.
10:35The variations are different.
10:37There's a short.
10:39There's a long.
10:41Also the speed varies as well.
10:43Dots got a hand on it.
10:45So did Kyle.
10:47Covers in time.
10:49And Kremlin still gets the point.
10:53Looks like she's.
10:55Cramping up.
11:03Adarado has been working hard.
11:05Yeah.
11:07It's not even a.
11:09Place anymore.
11:11Yes.
11:15And they're still keeping balls alive.
11:17Jules.
11:19Gets one.
11:21Gemma quick to the second ball.
11:25Savvy will get this one.
11:27Panaga with a dig.
11:31What a block there by Samonte.
11:33On her.
11:35Adarado still being attended to.
11:37Galanza with a pass.
11:39Chance to counter here for PLDT.
11:41DMACC goes to Savvy.
11:43Savvy.
11:45Pulls.
11:4715.
11:49They wanted a combination play.
11:51They got a perfect one.
11:53On the right pin.
11:55Elisa was ready to snake in.
11:57So a lot of things.
11:59You have to consider.
12:01And you have to make that decision.
12:03In split seconds.
12:05Exactly.
12:07Like this one.
12:09Another one.
12:11I can't tell where.
12:13Kyle was going to set it.
12:15To Gemma there.
12:17Being an in system.
12:19Or out of system pass.
12:23Chance to counter here.
12:25Pitik to Tots.
12:29Majoy.
12:31Serves it up.
12:35Gets it back.
12:37High speed hitters.
12:43Valdez.
12:45Setback.
12:47Carlos.
12:49Setback.
12:51A chance to counter for PLDT.
12:53Palomata.
12:55Unable to put it away.
12:57Valdez.
12:59Davidson.
13:01Davidson again.
13:03What a rally.
13:07Fajardo.
13:09Back to Savi.
13:11Who puts it away.
13:13Making short.
13:15Out of all the attempts.
13:17And look at that.
13:19Chased down by Kim Fajardo.
13:21What a tough pass.
13:25Safe serve.
13:27Valdez.
13:29Fajardo.
13:31Fajardo.
13:33Simpalios.
13:35Tots gets it back.
13:37Arado.
13:39Easily takes that.
13:41Palomata is challenged.
13:43To the other side.
13:45Santos.
13:47Valdez will go for it.
13:49Arado.
13:51Coolly takes that one.
13:53Long rally alert.
13:55And it goes to the hands.
13:57A lot of variation behind
13:59the swing this time.
14:01Going across court.
14:03Chema gets it back.
14:05And puts it away.
14:11Savi.
14:13First ball.
14:15Combination play.
14:17What a time.
14:19To pull it out for Kim Fajardo.
14:21Luxury year for Kim Fajardo.
14:23Third set.
14:25Third match point by the way.
14:27And that's it.
14:29BLDT.
14:31Stays strong.
14:33Kim.
14:35Looks like there isn't.
14:37Looks like there isn't.
14:39No there isn't.
14:41And BLDT.
14:45Officially.
