00:00 Here is Bo Belga, he gets it and now a fast break.
00:04 Now here is the first basket of the game, finally coming at around 1 minute and 40 seconds into the game.
00:11 Will have to shoot really well from the outside because they want to bring him out.
00:16 And sometimes Junmar does not want to come out because he knows that the paint will be compromised without him there.
00:24 Rodney Brondial gets the first basket here for the San Miguel beer men. Rodney Brondial always comes in with a lot of energy.
00:31 Escapes Norwood, attacks Junmar Fajardo, but of course we will hear from her later on.
00:35 And there is Gabe Norwood missing on the jumper.
00:38 Here is another look at a touchdown pass, hopefully here for Rodney Brondial.
00:43 Oh, finds CJ Perez.
00:45 CJ Perez, they call him the predator because he snips out the scoring opportunity.
00:51 That's right, he lurks out there waiting for that missed shot and then follows it up.
00:58 The amount of offensive rebounds that Rainerscheid conceded, 19 as you mentioned a while ago.
01:04 As we take a look at the referee's off having to end possessions for the San Miguel beer men.
01:10 Because just like that, an offensive rebound, a basket from CJ Perez.
01:14 Offensive rebound, also the penetration of CJ Perez just like what we are seeing here now.
01:19 And then of course the post ups of Junmar Fajardo.
01:22 You know, for Rainerscheid is now expected to score.
01:29 Just like that, just like that on cue, Dianne Mamouya creating a three pointer.
01:34 Remember his career highlight actually came, I believe in high school.
01:41 As Rodney Brondial sails in for two, left open there, two wide open.
01:45 Apart from that one blowout I believe in game two.
01:48 But you take a look at the fact that the team was almost there against San Miguel.
01:53 Just haven't really put all the pieces together.
01:55 As Jorick Larito finally gets a bucket.
01:57 Yeah, they're able to stay with San Miguel all throughout the game until the fourth quarter.
02:02 And you know, against San Miguel they can't afford to make a lot of mistakes.
02:09 The margin of error is very small.
02:12 And San Miguel will obviously capitalize on it.
02:16 CJ Perez finding his scoring groove here, already eight points for the Predator.
02:20 That is eight of the twelve here for San Miguel Beerman.
02:23 He has been leading the charge.
02:25 Gabe Norwood now, bringing that around to Big Bo Belga.
02:28 And CJ Perez like a thief in the night.
02:31 Coming in like the Predator that he is.
02:34 Gives it to Junmar Fajardo, the crack and the side step.
02:38 Well we never see that often, inside steal, Eurostep.
02:42 Junmar Fajardo, that was a Eurostep from Paris to England, coach.
02:46 At that time, Gian Mamuyak answers back immediately.
02:49 Let's take a look at this step again.
02:51 Junmar Fajardo, the big man, showing us that he has guard moves.
02:55 Junmar with the under after the Euro.
02:58 One point lead for San Miguel, we'll be right back.
03:01 He's not just lethal beyond the arc, but he's also able to drive whenever he's needed.
03:11 You see CJ Perez, swing, swing, Chris Ross, very suffering.
03:15 Oh, no home.
03:17 Runs in to Junmar Fajardo, but here's an easy lay in for Gian Mamuyak.
03:22 And Gian Mamuyak, before his options, he goes at it by himself.
03:25 And he misses, but Junmar Fajardo, there to clean things up.
03:29 That's one of the things that Rainers have to take care of, their turnovers.
03:32 Because obviously San Miguel will pounce on those turnovers.
03:37 And Bo Belga hits a big triple there, did we not mention that he's had a good shooting night.
03:42 A chance here for Rainers to try to extend the lead.
03:44 They're running, they're gunning, and Jonathan Carrito hits the two.
03:48 Junmar Fajardo, he's running the other way, and Junmar misses, but CJ Perez is there to collect.
03:55 Keep up with the speed of Rainers.
03:58 And it proves driving, and oh, what a swap from Santi Santillan.
04:04 Back to Caracut, Santillan, he got the stop, now he gets a three.
04:10 Those transition threes will really hurt San Miguel in this game, especially if they make those threes.
04:18 Now for those wondering, what does it mean for a 3 and D player to just play the last minute from Santi Santillan.
04:25 Getting the block a while ago, but then, just as I say that, Santillan, a blown by by Don Troiano.
04:31 And Keith Datu swings that around to Santillan, we just talked about him a while ago.
04:35 This time going inside, applying pressure on Jericho Cruz, the turn around, the shot, he gets that as a full.
04:40 Shaking, baking, shooting, and can't score.
04:44 Here's Nictimouzes on the run, he goes at it with Motau too, preoccupied by the threat of Keith Datu.
04:52 Here's Ildefonso, driving, attacking, and voila, parein!
04:56 It has been a struggle here in terms of scoring, reminds us of the first two minutes of this game.
05:01 As Terrence Romeo finally gets a bucket.
05:05 Asistio gets free, pulls up for three, and gets that.
05:11 It's another thing to be ready, it's another thing to really stop them.
05:16 And there, another turnover from San Miguel, and here's Garito, oh!
05:21 Able to avoid Chris Ross, the sidestep, the finish gets the crowd, Uing 9!
05:27 This is three straight possessions where San Miguel turned the ball over,
05:30 and Rainer Schein was able to capitalize on those transition baskets.
05:34 CJ Perez driving, attacking, and scoring high off the glass.
05:38 But then take a look at this, Rainer Schein running the other way, Gabe Norwood to Anton Asistio, pulls up for three.
05:44 Rainer Schein have been scoring freely, and all of a sudden they up their lead 46-38.
05:51 Well, I think that should be the formula for this game, you know, 3 and D, like what you said.
05:57 Make their threes and play defense.
05:59 CJ Perez, blocked by Big Bo Belga, they go on the attack.
06:03 Garito makes the extra pass and gets the finish, cue the timeout for the San Miguel Beermen.
06:10 Rainer Schein scores a steal, a turnover, and an easy point.
06:13 7-0 run here for Rainer Schein, coach.
06:15 What has happened here to San Miguel?
06:18 As I say that, don't troll Yano, he's a three.
06:20 He does, he gets his own miss, and he tries again, wala parin!
06:24 Gabe Norwood says, "Let's bring it out to Big Bo, Bo Belga, splashes home a three!"
06:30 That hurts, that hurts for San Miguel, imagine.
06:32 Let's take a look at that again, Gabe Norwood playing it to Big Bo Belga.
06:37 There are only three players from Rainer Schein who played in the last semifinal.
06:42 What they're hoping to be a historic run, maybe they can steal more than just one game.
06:48 And that is a great defensive stop there coming from Jhonaren Clarito.
06:53 We're going to see more of the run and gun of Rainer Schein, or if San Miguel have a way to slow this down.
06:58 They immediately go to Juma Fajardo, and he gets a 2-1.
07:02 It was a stable combination that would give them a spark here in the third.
07:07 Adrian Nocum gets a big triple, or triple doubles, because he does everything.
07:14 He's not flashy, but he'll get it done.
07:16 And another turnover here, Rainer Schein off to the races,
07:19 Jian Mamuyak on the attack, on the move, and he scores!
07:22 That miss by CJ Perez was able to convert off that putback.
07:25 Oh, what a find from Bo Belga to Jian Mamuyak!
07:28 That's the way to beat that zone, trying to get that point.
07:31 A rivalry here with Adrian Nocum. Terrence Romeo trying to get free of Nocum, and Nocum with the swat!
07:38 Good anticipation there by Nocum. He really waited on that fake by Terrence, who was able to get that block.
07:46 Adrian Nocum gets it in the corner, he'll pull up for a 3, and Nocum has been on fire!
07:52 Nocum has been a man on a mission here in the third quarter.
07:58 Ronny Brondial.
08:01 There on 10, feeding Junmar Fajardo inside. Junmar getting really deep into position.
08:07 Yeah, exactly.
08:08 That side, almost getting a steal there by Don Troiano, but then will the gamble fail?
08:12 Terrence Romeo misses on a short jump for Don Troiano, second chance opportunity.
08:16 Junmar with the third, and Junmar end one!
08:19 You could see the absence of Bo Belga inside really hurts Rainer Schein at this point.
08:24 Best move of the game, brought to by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
08:28 79-68, 2.34 left here, we'll be right back, don't go away.
08:32 Geron Teng, who's playing because of the foul trouble of Marshall Laster.
08:37 And Junmar Fajardo loses the handle, and all of a sudden, Anton Asistio's going the other way.
08:42 Andre Carajo, back to Asistio. Wide open 3, and Anton Asistio, now up to 13!
08:51 Rainer Schein did a good job there, really plugging that paint and not giving Junmar enough space to attack in the post.
08:59 Geron Teng strikes back with 2, and a chance to get the bonus.
09:03 Second chance opportunity here for the Rainer Schein Laster Painters.
09:06 That time, Santi Sandilian almost lost the handle.
09:09 Andre Carajo looking for his first 3, and he gets it!
09:12 Are just struggling to play their own brand of basketball, and are forced to adapt to Rainer Schein's style.
09:19 That would have been difficult, but let's take a look at this again.
09:22 This spin move from Jericho Cruz, that attack.
09:25 What a find to Chris Ross, touch pass to Don Troiano, he keeps possession here, he drives it, that's it, it's 10.
09:31 The lead is down to 10, and another steal here by Jericho Cruz.
09:35 Those are costly turnovers for Rainer Schein.
09:39 Take a look at Bo Belga, trying to push away Junmar Fajardo, but what a cut from Don Troiano!
09:44 Whether or not he can get close to that at the very least.
09:49 Bo Belga, trying to contain Junmar.
09:52 Another cut, and what a swat coming from Gabe Norwood!
09:56 That's why he's there.
09:59 Oh, Gabe Norwood able to get the job done on the defensive end.
10:05 And let's see if Rainer Schein can use the energy from that play.
10:09 Gabe Norwood, long jumper, long two, no good.
10:15 Don Troiano, off the attack, and that's an easy two!
10:20 Don't look now, it's only a six point lead, with a lot of time remaining here in the fourth.
10:26 89.83, eight minutes left in this one, as Mamuyak gets it off the glass.
10:31 The bank is open, Virgian Mamuyak, past banking hours.
10:35 That's a big shot there for Mamuyak to stop this big run of San Miguel.
10:39 The gamble there from G.M. Mamuyak means there are only four defenders for Rainer Schein.
10:43 They move things around, and Don Troiano!
10:46 Rains a big triple!
10:48 Don Troiano, again, rising to the occasion, as same as what he did in game three.
10:57 San Miguel, shut the door on Santi Santillan.
11:01 The rest of the beer men have come to play, let's take a look at this again.
11:05 Don Troiano, finishing the touchdown pass.
11:09 And here he is with a big triple as well in this game.
11:13 Yeah, we knew that, we knew that they were going to make a run, it's only a matter of time.
11:17 Except an if, but a when, and there you go.
11:21 That's his first basket of the game.
11:23 He averages 16 points per game, and this was his first basket.
11:29 Now, turnovers this quarter, four for Rainer Schein, a bit different.
11:33 And Mamu continues his scoring tear, 28 points here for G.M. Mamuyak.
11:37 As he ups the lead again to five.
11:41 He's the only guy that's able to break the zone defense of San Miguel.
11:47 And now Jumar Fajardo, pushed a bit back here by Big Cole Belga.
11:51 Jumar will try to back him down, ball moves around here.
11:54 Marcia Lasser, the Jericho Crew is in the corner.
11:56 Gets G.M. Mamuyak off the drive, scores and one.
11:59 A bit late on the closeout, that's his third foul, let's take a look at this again.
12:02 There he saw the fact that G.M. Mamuyak didn't have the position on the left side of his body, and he attacked right.
12:09 And here they are running again, this is what they like to play.
12:14 G.M. Mamuyak, great in the game so far.
12:16 Shoots and scores, G.M. Mamuyak with a 30 point outing here today.
12:20 And the Reconfederate are only leading by four, Adrian Nopum attacking, pushing.
12:26 Bo Belga gets an open look from three.
12:28 Bowe drains it down the pipe.
12:31 91 is the count, let's take a look at that again.
12:34 Nopum attacking and then kicking out to a wide open Bo Belga.
12:39 And Bo truly delivers a big triple.
12:42 Foul coach Eric, looking at game one and two, we saw a struggling Don Troiano with just an average of 8.9 points per game.
12:48 But in game three, it was 20 big points from him.
12:51 Well, speaking to Don, the biggest thing that has been helping him is definitely the importance that he has put in his conditioning.
12:56 It really started when he came into the Beerman Squad where he put in the necessary focus on that because of the high level SMP competes in.
13:02 According to Don, he's really conscious about that.
13:05 And assessing his performance now, he's pretty thankful because it's definitely helping him more than ever to keep up with the Rain or Shine Young Squad.
13:11 For Don, there's no slowing down and all the more that he expects himself to do what he's been doing, but double the effort.
13:16 Gentlemen, back to you.
13:19 Wow.
13:21 The guy, Peas Gudera, just talked about.
13:24 Gian Mamuyak, back to Adrian Nocum.
13:27 Nocum, working, finding a seam inside, gets his own miss.
13:31 Now Mamuyak, Mamu, no!
13:34 Here's Nocum again and Nocum scores!
13:38 Got his own miss, kicked it out and finished the play.
13:43 Let's take a look at that again.
13:45 Adrian Nocum, Nocumpo!
13:48 197!
13:51 He's really not giving up.
13:54 Those are big baskets, especially at this time of the game.
13:58 But CJ Perez!
14:00 Over four Rain or Shine defenders!
14:04 Hands it off to Junmar Fajardo, working on Big Bo.
14:06 Bo stays in step with him.
14:08 Marshal Lassner pulls up for three and no good for Marshal.
14:11 But Junmar is there and Junmar will score!
14:14 They're taking their time here.
14:16 Junmar Fajardo to CJ Perez, a three will be big.
14:19 CJ Perez gets a big three to make it a two possession ball game!
14:24 104 to 100, 25.7 seconds left!
14:29 With the biggest triple of the game!
14:33 Uses the pick of Junmar Fajardo and all the potential.
14:37 Definitely, this is a team to reckon with, especially moving forward.
14:42 And they showed it in this game.
14:44 This San Miguel team is a team to be reckoned with here in this conference.
14:49 As we formalize things here, 107 to 100 is a final score.
