00:00 The wings have to be extra noisy, especially the opposite hitter for LaSalle.
00:04 As Etamar goes to a back quick and Bengt "Tagibolos" will get a point.
00:09 See how well they have been performing, but I guess in this game,
00:13 NU set a big tacker, hence this serve from JM "Ronquillo".
00:18 No green card yet here in the UAP, but glad we have some honesty showing off here.
00:23 But there, that was an honest point for NU. Very clean point.
00:28 That's right. And this is the effect, when you activate your middles early on.
00:32 See how well Diao "Anima" is taking the open hitter.
00:36 ...against NU. This is something you don't want to see if you're coach Joe Roque.
00:40 At the heart, trying to tip it over. Etamar reading that well.
00:44 Guerrero goes up to the pipe.
00:47 Kept alive by NU.
00:51 Off the block there for Almendras.
00:55 Trying to protest the call while the rally was ongoing.
00:59 So these are some things they need to avoid.
01:02 What's that? Nonchalant. LaSalle, that's Eko Adahar.
01:06 Kaamton going for that hit. That is blocked by NU.
01:11 NU on a rampage here.
01:15 After Adahar set that ball, he failed to cover.
01:18 Because usually, the setter doesn't cover there.
01:22 Ronquillo to serve now.
01:26 Etamar goes up for the quick and Diao brings NU.
01:31 NU waiting until the last second to call the players.
01:39 You know, if we'll put it in modern Gen Z terms,
01:43 as we recognize this point coming from Leo Ayingo.
01:47 Nonchalant, Eko Adahar.
01:52 Let's see if he gets a sixth with an ace.
01:58 Goes for a serve. Sumanggi with that pickup.
02:01 To go up to Budin from the back row.
02:04 Great strategy from Owaret, Etamar. That wasn't the usual.
02:08 There was also anticipation that he would set in the open.
02:11 Just look at Budin moving on the left pin for that pipe in.
02:15 Left and right. You wouldn't expect it.
02:18 From the back, he chased it inside.
02:21 That's set up to Diao. Converts for NU.
02:25 Activating his middles every time that Dasal gets a point.
02:30 They're cutting momentum.
02:33 Maglinao going for that jump serve picked up by Almendaz.
02:37 Etamar goes up to Ayingo from the back row.
02:43 And it was out. This whole set, they are unable so far to...
02:51 NU. Adahar going to Anima. Denied there.
02:57 NU. Second six.
03:00 Stupid at that. Beautiful pass to Anima. That was a hit.
03:04 Crucial contributions from the middle will be very important here,
03:07 as the serve comes from Maglinao, picked up there by Budin.
03:11 One-handed set coming from Retamar Conversion.
03:14 Coming from Buds.
03:16 That's the call, but there's no challenge for that kind of...
03:22 Overreach. That's a judge's side of the court.
03:26 Adahar with that serve.
03:29 Ayingo tipping it over. Ronquillo will pop this one up.
03:32 Camton winning that joust.
03:35 Camton denied by Etamar. Oh, Etamar!
03:40 Oh, Etamar.
03:41 When it comes to playmaking, but he also displays his talent in blocking.
03:46 He's also the number one server right now, but he didn't play well.
03:52 Ronquillo to serve.
03:55 They go up to the back row. Desquitado gets a check.
04:01 Occasion.
04:03 Rising it is. Look at that jump.
04:06 Getting a touch from Billy Anima. Set point advantage for the...
04:12 Although they're already at an advantage on the attacking department,
04:15 but it helps in terms of being as steady as how NU has been playing.
04:22 I did mention how NU did not rely.
04:25 But it's freebies. Eight free points earlier in the second set.
04:30 But we'll see if they remain the same team.
04:34 Good thing now to serve. Picked up by Maglinao.
04:37 Adahar sets this up to Vince.
04:39 Vince single block by Oh, Etamar!
04:43 Campton to Campton.
04:44 Ronquillo is really leading the Green Spikers, but Etamar
04:49 is really carrying his team well here in...
04:53 Talking about the Green Spikers, jump serve for Vince.
04:56 Picked up by Sumanggi.
04:57 Etamar goes up to Desquitado.
04:59 Oh!
05:02 And that's it! National University enters the finals for ninth consecutive time
05:10 and has a chance to defend their title.
