00:00Limiting their offense, limiting even what they can do defensively.
00:05Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to game number four.
00:08And this tip-off is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
00:12I'm Paulo Del Rosario, joined by Coach Mark Molina.
00:14Coach Mark, we talk about strong starts, especially for a guy like CJ Perez.
00:18But it's not just him who needs to get going here for the San Miguel Gearmen.
00:22And we see the first adjustment here as San Miguel goes straight to Junmar.
00:27He had a bit of a slow start in the last game.
00:30Took him a while to get going.
00:31He did eventually finish scoring in the double-digit figures
00:35as Bonquito finally gets the first field goal here for the Meralta Bulls.
00:39Important basket for Bonquito there,
00:42as Meralta was without a field goal for about three minutes already.
00:47Remember, Bonquito did torture San Miguel Gearmen with 13 points in the first half in the last game.
00:53Both out, two up.
00:54Trying to play fully ball inside.
00:56Is able to score despite the defense of Kliff Hodge.
00:59Offensively, a struggle so far for the Meralta Bulls.
01:03They're going to make a couple of changes by going very big.
01:05You're going to see that in just a bit as Junmar Pajaro pulls his way inside.
01:09You know, there's a running, there's always a running superstition
01:15that if you win an individual award, you might have a bad game in that same day.
01:19But not the case for Junmar.
01:20That does not apply to Junmar because he's so used to it.
01:23Just how good Brandon Bates could be as a defensive player.
01:26We're seeing flashes of it in this series in particular.
01:28As Alain Maliksy with the drive.
01:32Chris Pankero trying to unlock this San Miguel defense and has been on point here so far.
01:37Brandon Bates offering the pick here, attacking Junmar Pajaro.
01:40Chris Newsome getting past Jericho Cruz.
01:43Free throw jumper, that's good.
01:45Cruz to Marsha Lasser, they find Junmar Pajaro again.
01:48Bates, the young center, trying to hold him off.
01:52Terrence Romeo has a short shot clock.
01:54What does he do? He pulls up and he scores!
01:58Top plus minus player in this group is actually Chris Ross,
02:01who has yet to register a point here.
02:04He's just been doing a lot here that's not seen on the box score as Alain Maliksy attacks.
02:09And oh! Brandon Bates with the follow!
02:12This best move of the game is brought to you by Honda, the official motorcycle of the PBA.
02:16And Alain will tell all of us that that was actually a pass.
02:19Very well without the ball.
02:21Active hands here for the Moralco Bolts and it almost results in a turnover.
02:26But Junmar gets it inside and blocked from behind by Cliff Hodge!
02:30Because Cliff Hodge has taken advantage of that matchup.
02:33Another turnover here and Marsha Lasser is off to the races.
02:36Marsha attacks and scores!
02:40Little bump there from CJ Perez.
02:42CJ Perez, Chris Boquero felt the news of getting free here.
02:45Working against Chris Ross. Gets the bucket and one!
02:53Can't really tell from that angle.
02:55But either way, the referee made the decision and it looks like Coach George Gallen,
03:00Junmar was the more active member offensively for the San Miguel Beermen.
03:04They were getting it all done as Chris Ross, able to get the finish and one!
03:13As we take a look at that again, Chris Ross getting the basket and one.
03:19And again, they were able to weather that play which is basically perpetual motion from the Moralco Bolts.
03:25And here's Junmar Fajardo inside for his first field goal of the second quarter.
03:30But of course, San Miguel making a run in that end of the second quarter.
03:34Botol Dua working on Cliff Hodge and scoring there.
03:38Cliff Hodge saying that he got elbowed under the jaw.
03:42And Botol Dua getting the score up the lead here to 13.
03:45This is San Miguel playing big once again.
03:49Attacking Cliff Hodge in the low post.
03:52Oh and Cliff Hodge answers back with a reverse.
03:57Continue playing in here. Cliff Hodge, excellent player as far as off the bolts.
04:04CJ Perez to Marshal Lassiter.
04:07Marshal answers back three with three.
04:11He has been a difference maker here in game number four for San Miguel.
04:16And Chris knew some back-to-back baskets here.
04:20Live in this game. Let's take a look at this first Marshal Lassiter.
04:23He can bring threes off the ball, on the ball, as long as it's a three-pointer.
04:29On the ball, as long as it's a three-pointer.
04:32First quarter, found five against the second.
04:34And these are minutes you have to win if you're a Marauder.
04:37And Chris Newsome is making sure that they have a shallow back.
04:41And Terrence, Terrence blocked by Bates.
04:44Sends it all the way back.
04:45Botol Dua attacking Bates.
04:47And Bates is there again!
04:50Pull up jumper, blocked by Bates.
04:52And then once again, Bates blocking this shot coming from Botol Dua.
04:58Terrence working on Bates.
05:00Passes out to Mike Moe.
05:01Big Moe can't get the three.
05:05Mid-alpha fans up and asking for more.
05:09Bonquito finding Bates.
05:11Bates with the baby hook!
05:13Wow!
05:16And Jokara, the pull-up and the block from CJ Perez.
05:20CJ on the attack, on the move, finding Jericho Cruz in the corner.
05:25Thought about it.
05:26Attacks Babquero.
05:27And scoring off the glass!
05:30Here's Chris Newsome.
05:31On the drive.
05:32And Chris Newsome has been willing.
05:36The Marauder bolts back into this one.
05:38Chris Newsome having a big third quarter.
05:41In the same manner that he did in game number three.
05:45With this excellent play.
05:47Excellent work towards that end of the third quarter.
05:49Marauder still won that third.
05:5034 to 31.
05:53Jericho Cruz gets the second chance points to go.
05:57When they needed big men.
05:59Eight points in that third quarter for Big Moe.
06:02Here's Chris Newsome.
06:04Pull-up J.
06:05Right in front of CJ Perez.
06:08In that situation.
06:10Lane Melixsi misses but gets his own rebound.
06:13Trying to fake out Jumar Pajardo.
06:15And finishes up close.
06:18Shooters know when they miss.
06:20And Lane followed his shot.
06:22And got the offensive rebound.
06:24Here's Jaren Jaramillo.
06:26Oh, he lost the handle.
06:28And now Chris Newsome keeps it.
06:30Newsome.
06:32Working on CJ Perez.
06:34Scored on him just a while ago.
06:36Here's Newsome.
06:37Trying to do it again.
06:38And he does it again!
06:4084 to 80.
06:42And Chris Newsome has 29 here.
06:44Chris Newsome has 29 here.
06:46He has been pouring it on the beer men.
06:50CJ Perez driving.
06:52Finding Don Trolliano.
06:53Now it is Terrence Romeo working on Rios.
06:55The jumper at the free throw line is good.
06:59Terrence Romeo will never lose his confidence in a basketball game.
07:03Even though he has missed a few shots here.
07:05He will take the next one.
07:07Proper shooters mentality.
07:09As Cliff Hodge finishes strong inside.
07:12Remember.
07:13The San Miguel beer men.
07:15When they hit the 100 point mark.
07:17Have yet to lose his confidence.
07:19As Terrence Romeo pushes him up to 19.
07:21Five point lead for San Miguel.
07:23It was a one possession lead just a while ago.
07:25Jumar Fajardo.
07:26Newly minted VPC and you.
07:28Working on.
07:30And finding Botau Tua.
07:32Who finishes despite the pressure from Bates.
07:34Let's take a look at that again.
07:38The feed there from.
07:40Jumar Fajardo to Botau Tua.
07:44Jumar Fajardo rather getting it inside.
07:46And that would be.
07:49Maralco Ball.
07:50For some reason.
07:52And that was thrown up.
07:53Banquero.
07:55With the finish.
07:56And that.
07:57Was one of the strangest sequences.
07:59I have ever seen play in front of my eyes.
08:02Let's see if they can find Jumar again.
08:04Who announces the defender on him.
08:06Quick double there.
08:07Marshall Lasseter in the corner.
08:09And Marshall splashes home a three.
08:12Six from beyond the arc.
08:14TJ Perez.
08:16In and out.
08:17Jumar Fajardo with the rebound.
08:19He knows that Bates has five fouls.
08:20And Bates is not aggressive.
08:23He's going to play with five fouls as well.
08:25Jumar.
08:27And they put him in the action.
08:29That's what we're going to look for.
08:30Going.
08:31To attack.
08:32Jumar Fajardo.
08:34It is Botau Tua with the foul.
08:36And Chris Yusup.
08:38Now with a career high 35.
08:40Chris Yusup did not work now.
08:42It's attacking Jumar Fajardo.
08:44Especially with the five fouls.
08:46That turns it to an open.
08:48He can get a lot closer.
08:50In the next few minutes here.
08:51CJ Perez.
08:52Bonquito right in front of him.
08:53Jumar Fajardo with the pick here.
08:55Working on Bates.
08:56And Jumar Fajardo.
08:57Dumped inside.
08:58Scores an easy two.
09:00And the San Miguel Vieira men.
09:01Will take their time with this one.
09:05And CJ Perez.
09:06With the extension.
09:07He hung up in the air.
09:08And the Predator.
09:10Adds to the count.
09:1211 point lead here.
09:15For the San Miguel Vieira men.
09:16As Chris Yusup.
09:18Unable to get the finish.
09:19But Hodges there to clear it up.
09:22But for the San Miguel Vieira men.
09:23An impending victory awaits them here.
09:25They'll take their time.
09:26As we're under the minute mark.
09:30CJ Perez.
09:32Able to get the floater in.
09:34He's been a finisher here.
09:37This is a reminder coach.
09:39That it is always going to be difficult.
09:41To get into a scoring match.
09:43With the San Miguel Vieira men.
