00:00 side of NU hence this serve from JM Ronquillo. No green card yet here in the UAP but glad we have
00:07 some honesty showing off here but there that was an honest point for NU very clean point. Number
00:14 six top server of the league. Now targeting Almendras. You know he looks way lighter now
00:21 that he doesn't have the captain ball line under him but on the other side of the court Buds Budin
00:26 looking very light on that hit. Great effort. Well the trajectory of the ball was already
00:31 heading towards the side of NU but on the outside side of that serve checks right in for Buds Budin
00:38 continues to serve here they're now up by one off the tape of the net checking right on the line
00:46 defenders of LaSalle left stunned here. What is that? Nonchalant LaSalle that's Echo Adahar.
00:54 Kaamton going for that hit that is blocked by NU. NU on a rampage here.
01:00 Earlier. Telpilar with that serve over received picked up by Maglinao. They go up
01:08 to a combination Maglinao tipping it to the other side. Budin off the blockers. Aringo.
01:21 Serve coming from Peng. Maglinao denied by Diao.
01:25 I mean you don't see Buds Budin he did not came off the bench last game he started in those five
01:38 sets but I guess since throughout the season he didn't play he didn't get scouted by the
01:43 Green Spikers. Now on the side of LaSalle they're looking for a surprise.
01:51 Tip coming from Etamar. Maglinao was there to go to Telpilar.
01:56 Telpilar guarding the net three Bulldogs down and that will be a point for the Green Spikers.
02:06 Crucial especially in a tight game like this. Owa with that serve. Echo going to Kaamton with a tip.
02:13 That falls down on the court of NU that becomes a LaSalle point.
02:21 Ready for floor defense except for that drop. Serve coming from Kaamton. Etamar going to the
02:27 opposite side. Dolbendras. Look at the seniors. Ronquillo to serve now.
02:36 Etamar goes up for the quick and Diao brings NU.
02:41 Serve coming from Aingo picked up by Kaamton.
02:48 They go up to Maglinao over the triple block and LaSalle stays alive.
02:53 Maglinao to serve one of the top servers of the league. Cross court picked up there by Gale.
03:05 Sumanggi was there for the pickup. They go up to back quick to Diao. Kept alive by Maglinao.
03:10 Kaamton will try to answer off the blockers. Etamar going for the touch. Kept alive by DLSU.
03:17 Shoust won by Anima. Budin denied by Anima. Oh, long rally we have here as it's ended by NU getting
03:28 set number one to their favor. The playoffs that could be anybody's ball game as that first serve
03:34 comes from Kaamton. They go for a quick and Peg Taguibolos gets the point. The players, you know,
03:41 if we'll put it in modern Gen Z terms as we recognize this point coming from Leo Aingo.
03:48 Diao just get the ball. Aingo getting that one through on the other side of the hard
03:55 sets this one up to Kaamton denied by the blockers. Great collaboration between Etamar and Taguibolos.
04:03 Let's see if he gets a sixth with an ace. Goes for a serve. Sumanggi with that pickup.
04:08 They go up to Budin from the back row. Great strategy from Etamar as it wasn't the usual.
04:15 For three times this season already. The familiarity that's present here
04:22 that's over received. Kaamton going down the line. Aingo was right there. Almendraz denied by Ronquillo.
04:31 So far in this game it has become a trend that it's either they're netting or they're getting a point
04:36 when they're triple blocking. Usually the closing the gap between the three blockers is the most challenging part.
04:46 But Almendraz, no need to challenge the blockers as he went over them on that last hit.
04:52 As you see the numbers of Noel Kaamton. Five points with four points off of his attacks and one ace.
05:00 Back set for Almendraz. Over dug there by Aingo. Denial coming from NU. Kaamton saves that one.
05:09 Chance ball for NU. Let's see what Etamar will do. He goes for an opposite set. They go to Almendraz again
05:16 for the third try. But that is going out. They're looking for a check here. They're saying there's a check ball here.
05:24 It's hard because you don't know if the set went up because of the set or was that a combination play.
05:30 Block covered there by Lasal. Off speed coming from Maglinao. Almendraz sets this up to Aingo.
05:38 Denied. Aingo with a tip. Diao picking that up. They go up to Aingo again.
05:44 Set up to Kaamton from the back row. Picked up by Etamar. Long rally we're having here.
05:54 Dumping it over. Maglinao off the blockers. Kept alive by Buds.
05:58 Off speed coming from Aingo. Adahar sets this up.
06:03 Turong Kilio. Kept alive by Guerrero. What defense shown by both teams.
06:09 Guerrero's been all over the place for the Green Spikers and it pays off after that Maglinao hit.
06:19 And new serves with Leo Aingo.
06:22 Adahar going for that quick oh that finds a perfect spot for Billy Anima.
06:31 Maglinao with that serve. Etamar going for that dump on the other side. Adahar will answer with a dump.
06:38 The number four best setter.
06:44 Maglinao going for the jump serve picked up by Almendaz. Etamar goes up to Aingo from the back row.
06:52 Adahar to serve for the set. Almendaz picked up. Almendaz saving a set point here.
07:04 Are things that you don't consider anymore in games like this because it's really just about
07:09 the match and this is what these two teams are showcasing here as we recognize this point coming
07:15 from JM Roquillo.
07:17 Talagang may mga cut shot a lot of off the block hits as well.
07:23 What a serve from Campton. They go up to Aingo but a single block for JM Roquillo.
07:30 Three blocks already out of that 14.
07:33 And imagine yung timing niya at yung tapat niya dun sa bola.
07:39 Serve coming from Almendaz. Down by one. Now they tie the ball game at two.
07:45 The teammate of yours that's worth five all that serve coming from JM Roquillo has
07:53 had big points here. The tip coming from Budin on the other side. Adahar going to Maglinao
07:59 finds the corner. Very easy point for Vince Maglinao. We've seen him.
08:06 NU. Adahar going to Anima. Denied there.
08:10 Aingo to serve. Bump set going to Campton. Oh! Triple block against Noel Campton.
08:22 I think they heard me.
08:22 They really closed it out and worked well for NU.
08:30 Roquillo picked up there by NU. Budin with the answer. Anima converting.
08:39 Crucial contributions from the middle will be very important here as
08:46 the serve comes from Maglinao picked up there by Budin.
08:49 One-handed set coming from Retamar Conversion. Coming from Buds.
08:53 I think holding violation eh. Matagal.
08:58 Because Geo's sinenias is overreached.
09:04 Easy recovery here for Lasal.
09:08 13 points already for the captain. Almendaz showing why he's the reliable
09:15 one on the other side of the court. For just a bit.
09:19 Over-received. So Mangui was there for the pickup.
09:24 Diao tipping that. Beng Taguibolos rather tipping that over to the other side.
09:29 Look at the frustrations of Owa Retamar.
09:32 Retamar now will set this one up to Aingo. Aingo finds the corner.
09:40 Adahar now goes to Anima to convert.
09:50 Retamar going up to Aingo. Denied by the blockers. Kept alive here by NU.
10:01 They set this one up to Budin. But a solid block coming from Lasal.
10:06 As we see different lead changes so far.
10:15 Swings of momentum has been going from left to right as Maglina goes down the line.
10:21 Don't give you to serve. They go up to the back row. Desketado gets a check.
10:40 Serve coming from Peng. They go up to Maglina.
11:06 Just trying to add more context in this discussion as this jump set coming from Owa.
11:12 That swipe coming from Desketado. Maglina going down the line. That's his favorite angle.
11:17 Desketado answering back going to the corner. But Menard was there. Camton
11:24 hanging out over the blockers. Aingo will answer down the line. Menard was there but that is going
11:30 to shank away from the court. Almost half of his previous game output. 15 points already for Buds
11:37 Budin. Maglina going for that tip and they get a point. From Maglina. Maglina now going for another serve.
11:48 Retamar slowing it down for Budin who hits it from the pipe.
11:56 But now, mas marami nang sinesitan sa pipe and all the spikers are really involved.
12:03 But when we talk about involvement, we get tonight J.M. Ronquillo, the captain. Still a good call by our referees.
12:12 Anima to serve. Retamar going to Taguibulos and Taguibulos gets the point.
12:21 We saw Niko Almendras earlier getting some exercises on the sideline.
12:26 And you of course looking to close this out here as they closed out that block there.
12:32 At nine points. Desketado with that serve. Six attack points already in this ballgame.
12:40 The tip coming from Ronquillo just changing things up. The backswing but it was suddenly returned.
12:50 Floater coming from Arringo. Ronquillo going cross court. Set up for Retamar.
12:57 Ball is alive. Maglina will answer. Kept alive by Jade. Budin going in between the blockers.
13:07 It's the same team. Budin now to serve. Picked up by Maglina. Odahar sets this up to Vince.
13:13 Vince single block by O.R. Tamar. You're looking to enter the finals if they do win this.
13:25 But Lasalas other plans and that starts with that serve from Maglina. Budin trying to find a corner
13:31 but they're looking more confident. A bit jolly on the sidelines. That serve coming from Choi.
13:41 Hit coming from Campton. Gets a point for Lasalas. A bit shy compared to that but already halfway
13:48 there. 11 points for Campton as Budin has the answer. For one they did pull off a seven to none
13:58 run earlier and we know Lasalas is also capable of such runs but they can't allow any to be this
14:04 confident. Just look at them. Pumping themselves up with a three-point lead as well. Desketado
14:10 with seven attack points in this ball game serve. The Campton with an answer.
14:15 Campton like we did say the time is now. From re-entering the finals the serve now
14:23 starts from J.M. Ronquillo. Desketado with that pickup they go to Buds Budin
14:28 who has been really hot for the Bulldogs. Talking about the Green Spikers. Jump serve for Vince.
14:35 Picked up by Sumanggi. Retamar goes up to Desketado.
14:38 And that's it. National University enters the finals for ninth consecutive time and has a chance
14:51 to defend their title.
