00:00 And that chemistry as well, Ronquillo, Maglinao, Campton, they've been playing together for quite some time already.
00:07 Ronquillo and Maglinao from De La Salle, Lipa, so there's a lot of familiarity there.
00:11 That push by Pinto Gilbolo is returned by Nat Del Pilar.
00:14 Adahar back to Ronquillo, blocked this time, Gutz Putin with a rejection.
00:18 I have to say, that set was really low and you have Gutz Putin all over that.
00:23 I mean, Ronquillo tried to brush it off, but yeah, I mean.
00:27 Maglinao, only 5'10", he jumps like a 6'4" player.
00:32 And he's smart. Very smart.
00:36 Almendras, bounces it off the block, Ronquillo keeping it alive, falls awkwardly, but he's okay.
00:41 Campton, picked up by Sumagi, here comes Almendras again, second time and he swipes it off the arm of Adahar.
00:48 Is he graduating already? But it's also his last year, right?
00:52 And he does seem like he has that confidence to just pound away.
00:59 Biggest lead for the Green Spikers at 3, a short-lived lead as Gutz Putin.
01:05 It's a fracture, it's not like a sprain, a fracture really hurts.
01:09 That 4-set win by La Salle against NU.
01:14 Good pass by Mano Sumagi, here comes Gutz Putin, bouncing it off the block and outside.
01:19 With power.
01:22 I mean he's the number 2 blocker in Season 86.
01:26 And right now Gutz Putin starting to gain that confidence, the form is looking good of set number 2.
01:32 They need that, they need to get others going because focus is really on them.
01:36 But seriously, we didn't expect it to be easy for either teams.
01:41 Ronquillo trying to bounce back, no!
01:44 Gutz Putin to National University.
01:47 For me it's a mental issue more than anything.
01:50 It's still early in the set, but I was looking at the reaction of NU, they're saying "Oh, come on!"
01:55 It's like, "It's so high! I mean this time we can't hit it!"
01:59 Here's another block by Choi Diao on Del Pilar.
02:03 I beg your pardon on Aima, another block here!
02:07 There's new life with the Bulldogs here, you can feel it actually.
02:11 Having one hand, being Oareta Mar, so he just weaved his magic.
02:19 Gutz Putin fires one in, that's on the line and side out for the Bulldogs.
02:25 Showing us he has 100% of that.
02:28 Look at that!
02:30 You'll hear coaches say, "Wag nyo na buhayin."
02:33 That's right.
02:35 Good pass.
02:37 Back row, Gutz Putin nails one in!
02:39 I can sense that Putin has got the hot hands right now.
02:43 Eight points, top scoring for the Bulldogs.
02:47 Lasal looking to start a run.
02:51 Gutz Putin, and one blocker ain't gonna be enough for Gutz Putin who's on a roll here.
02:56 He's the first player in double digits for NU.
02:59 Look at Lasal go out with a run, Gutz Putin just finds a way to get it.
03:04 You didn't feel it much because he was up and down.
03:08 Sumagi with a pass, Choi Niauge with a dig.
03:12 Maglino, off speed, Oareta Mar popping it up.
03:17 Gutz Putin for the kill, and he got it! That's it!
03:20 We are tied at one set apiece.
03:22 Gutz Putin delivering his 11th point and the winning point for NU.
03:27 For NU, set number two, doing it and blocking.
03:31 Third set is about to get underway.
03:33 You know Eric, for me the biggest challenge right now for Lasal,
03:36 we always say volleyball is a team sport,
03:39 how are you gonna bring Ronquillo back to the game?
03:43 You don't try to pull him back, so that's the biggest for me challenge.
03:47 And he is the barometer for these green spikers.
03:50 Yeah.
03:51 Especially against the defending champions.
03:52 He scored 22 in their first meeting as Gutz Putin in their second meeting.
03:56 So he's been the man carrying the load of the offense.
04:00 Sixth block of NU in the game.
04:03 Only two blocks for Lasal, the number two blocking team in the tournament.
04:07 Arringo at the Gutz Putin.
04:10 Nice dig coming from Canton.
04:12 Ronquillo, nowhere to go and it bounces off Adahar.
04:16 He didn't touch it.
04:17 It looked like it bounced off his foot.
04:19 It looked like it bounced off his foot. We'll see it here.
04:22 Oh no!
04:24 You don't get it because they won the first set.
04:27 That's right. Good pass.
04:30 Gutz Putin against two blockers and it's like what you said earlier.
04:34 It's like they weren't even there.
04:36 Nice blocking of Lasal.
04:41 Captain with 12.
04:44 Great pass coming from Sumagni. Back row, Gutz Putin.
04:47 And that's going to be overpassed and outside from Captain.
04:51 The green spikers, let's see if they can capitalize and make a run.
04:55 Nice serve. Short pass coming from Almendras.
04:58 Gutz Putin. Oh, he has been on point.
05:02 Well, you know, En-Nu is just pulling away here in the third set.
05:10 Del Pilar, that's dug by Gutz Putin.
05:13 Putin back row. Everything falling in for the Bulldogs.
05:19 Been the highlight of En-Nu.
05:23 18 points.
05:26 He had 12 in the second meeting.
05:30 Gutz Putin.
05:32 What a save. Yeah.
05:34 Coming from Guerrero, Maglinao.
05:37 Retamar. Back to Gutz Putin. Why not?
05:40 And Captain trying but unsuccessful.
05:49 Putin off the head of one of the blockers and outside.
05:54 And a two-time best blocker in the NCAA.
05:58 Good serve. Overpassed. Maglinao almost failed to get it across.
06:03 A bad pass there coming from Sumagi.
06:06 Anima running, Anima hitting.
06:08 Blocked by Gutz Putin. Gutz Putin attacking and drilling that right at the attack line.
06:15 But you have to say, great setting. Look at that. Just one blocker.
06:20 If it sparks something with the Bulldogs, that could be a problem down the line.
06:24 Oh yeah, for sure.
06:25 And a bad pass. Anima rejected Maglinao with good coverage.
06:29 Here comes Ronquillo.
06:32 Retamar. Combination play. Gutz Putin is rejected by Ronquillo.
06:36 Giving him a look as well. Putin tries again. The push.
06:39 Hopped up by Adahar. Campton will play setter. Maglinao against a three-man block.
06:43 Off-speed. Dug by Manos Sumagi.
06:45 Gutz Putin. Power tip. Campton short pass.
06:48 Maglinao from the back row.
06:51 Oh, what a rally. Gutz Putin single blocker.
06:54 Again, Adahar digging it up. Maglinao pushes.
06:58 Could have been out, but Almendras picked it up.
07:01 Putin again. This one is outside.
07:03 There's a block touch against Ronquillo.
07:07 Much needed. They need to build on that lead.
07:14 Gutz Putin against Ronquillo. And again, one blocker, no match.
07:19 For very talented Gutz Putin.
07:21 Mobility much better for NU compared to Lasal.
07:24 I think it's also a lot to do with the setter.
07:27 Really trying to disguise his sets and so on.
07:31 Speaking of blocks, there's a triple block against Maglinao.
07:35 But not to say Adahar is a lesser setter. I mean, he's ranked number two.
07:39 Yeah. In the tournament.
07:40 Couple of good ones. Back in set number two.
07:43 Let's see if he can deliver again for the Green Spikers.
07:47 Gutz Putin on the attack.
07:50 Oh, Gutz Putin.
07:52 Not a safe lead, but better than nothing. Yeah.
07:55 Late in set number four. A must win set for Lasal.
07:59 Gutz Putin again. This time rejected.
08:01 Putin backs up, hits. Ronquillo digs it up.
08:04 Adahar out to Maglinao.
08:06 Maglinao sumagi, digging it up. Gutz Putin again.
08:10 Gets it through. Gutz Putin with 26 points.
08:15 He's stopping.
08:16 That's why I'm sure Lasal knew that they wasted that opportunity when he got stopped.
08:21 He was hesitant because Del Pilar was there.
08:25 So, yeah. And you'll take it.
08:27 Good cover.
08:33 Gutz Putin off the block and outside.
08:36 And then the lead is gone.
08:38 So, it's really a matter of protecting your lead.
08:41 Short pass. Ronquillo far from the net. Easy pickup for Retamar.
08:46 Putin, too close this one. But Gutz Putin.
08:50 First time he hits 21 points against NU.
08:54 11-all. Fifth set.
08:56 Back row. Gutz Putin.
09:02 29 points for Putin.
09:05 In this rotation, the front line.
09:12 The front line, yeah.
09:13 Choy Diaw, Gutz Putin, and Leo Arringo.
09:16 Pablo Estrino is serving.
09:18 Oh, and Retamar is still on the floor.
09:20 Ronquillo blocked by Gutz Putin. Coverage by Del Pilar.
09:24 That pass through.
09:26 Putin, blocked.
09:29 Good cover.
09:30 Almendras out to Arringo.
09:32 Blocked again. Arringo picking up.
09:34 And there's Gutz Putin again!
09:38 30 points for Gutz Putin.
09:40 And NU is at match point.
09:44 Looking for his first ace.
09:48 Short pass coming from Almendras.
09:51 Gutz Putin against two blockers.
09:52 Oh, Gutz Putin with 31.
09:54 Match point number two for the Bulldogs.
