00:00I'm enjoying the game, especially that it's so fast, 30 to 24, the score is so high.
00:05There's a lot of action.
00:06But maybe both teams, both coaches,
00:09if they pay attention now, their defense,
00:12giving 30 points and 24 points, their defense has a problem.
00:18CJ Delfino, in the game, starting this second period.
00:24I'm sure all the Gen Z-ers watching know this guy from TikTok fame.
00:32Almost 200K followers on TikTok.
00:35Wow. That's why we should wait for this, right?
00:38But of course, TikTok is different from the real game.
00:42Correct.
00:43Let's see if he can translate here in NCAA.
00:48The other player I'm waiting for is Jovel Baliling.
00:53Who was part of Coach Allan Ricardo's championship squad and was his best shooter on that squad.
00:59But for now, he's using outside shooter, Jumawas.
01:08He's not using it yet, right?
01:10Baliling hasn't used it yet.
01:13But you can't miss him with jersey number 91.
01:18Dennis Rodman, we all know him with his jersey number 91.
01:21But Baliling is a shooter.
01:26Here we go.
01:27Paek Are against Delfino, Paek Are.
01:32His upper body is strong.
01:42Actually, there's no execution in San Sebastian.
01:45It's like the owner is giving pressure.
01:51That's why there's a driving lane.
01:53He's constantly driving on the basket.
01:58Again, we want to say thank you so much to all the viewers,
02:01especially the fans from the 90s and people who followed DNCA in the 90s.
02:08We're here with King Lion, Ralph Rivera.
02:15Also, 3-point shooter of Batangas Blades.
02:18We're here with the broadcast team.
02:21I think my mom messaged you.
02:26Welcome, welcome.
02:27Alright, let's also welcome back and here to deliver her second report, Flo Del Agua.
02:35If you're still undecided on which players to look out for for the rest of the game,
02:40I have suggestions.
02:41Veteran Raymart Escobedo of San Sebastian
02:44ranked first as the most efficient collegiate player in a pre-season league,
02:48averaging 22 points per game with 90% from the free-throw line.
02:52But according to Raymart, the real battle is here at NCAA.
02:57For Letran, everybody's excited to see rookie Jimboy Estrada
03:01and his performance so far is a testament of how Coach Allen does not only find the best player
03:06but creates them.
03:07Jimboy's story is when the new head coach stepped in,
03:10he tried out even with the existing players.
03:13So safe to say their spots in the team are hard-earned and well-deserved, Anton Cottrell.
03:19And your report, Flo, is very timely
03:22because Jimboy is in the free-throw line and he just made his first NCAA point moments ago.
03:31But as a guy that you coached against,
03:35we see this drive by Payet Are.
03:37What is the player comparison of Jimboy Estrada, Coach Rob?
03:41He's familiar to me from the 90s.
03:45If you know Rodney Santos.
03:47The stasher.
03:48Yes, he's really creative.
03:51We can see his hangtime.
03:53Those were the old King Stacks.
03:57And Rodney Santos was a teammate of the new Stacks head coach, Arvin Bon-Leon.
04:05Actually, he's one of the King Stacks I remember, Christian Coronel.
04:09So he's one of the people I talk to regarding their team
04:13because he was part of the coaching staff last year.
04:16So those are the legends.
04:21Rodney Santos, Christian Coronel.
04:25Rodney Santos also became the head coach of his alma mater, San Sebastian.
04:31Aguilar snatches the ball away from Santos.
04:35Balikapola here at the net.
04:43Delfino.
04:48With a ball spin.
04:49Short roll.
04:51Cross court pass.
04:52Jimboy Estrada, welcome to the NCAA.
04:57His first field goal.
05:04Coach, it looks like there's a fight going on.
05:07Santos and Aguilar.
05:10Jimboy Estrada.
05:12Jimboy Estrada.
05:14Jimboy Estrada.
05:16Jimboy Estrada.
05:18Jimboy Estrada.
05:20Jimboy Estrada.
05:21Jimboy Estrada.
05:23Jimboy Estrada.
05:39Let's see how many fouls Kevin Santos has.
05:44He has one foul so far.
05:46So he can't afford any unnecessary incidents.
05:53Yes, sometimes coaches, once you reach two fouls in the first half,
05:58they automatically reserve you and put you on the bench for the second half.
06:03It's a waste, it's a waste if you get that second foul.
06:06Especially if you're a player of Kevin Santos' caliber, coach.
06:12I told Anton, I want to see the highlight.
06:17I'm already looking forward to his highlight.
06:196'6". Last year he was listed at 6'6".
06:25Kevin Santos.
06:31A strong punch.
06:37He's still listed at 6'6".
06:40Let's watch the replay to see what happened.
06:50Okay.
06:52Kevin didn't like it.
06:54Niko pulled his jersey.
06:57Actually, they can call him for pulling that jersey.
07:01The problem is, Kevin retaliated.
07:03He threw the ball to Aguilar.
07:07Sometimes, that's what coaches teach you.
07:10Don't react.
07:11Because sometimes, your reaction will be noticed.
07:15That's where you'll be caught.
07:17That's what happened.
07:22You should time it first.
07:24If you want to retaliate, you should time it first.
07:38Kevin Santos.
07:5535-28.
07:58In-your-face defense.
08:01That's Coach Allan Ricardo's brand of defense.
08:05For the Latran Knights.
08:07It's very suffocating.
08:08There's no space.
08:10You can't breathe.
08:31Arre.
08:35Arre wanted to call for a pick-and-roll.
08:37But he said, I don't need it anymore.
08:39I'll go straight for it.
08:43It's like the guards of San Sebastián.
08:45Their idols.
08:46All of them are the Latran Knights.
08:49Points guard, actually.
08:55Arre's influence.
08:58Arre's influence is still there in Basté.
09:05Their point of attack is coming from the guards.
09:07Their offense is really focused on the guards.
09:14You don't know if the pressure defense of the Latran Knights is favorable.
09:19Because usually, the instinct of the guards,
09:22if you're giving me a pressure,
09:24I'll attack it.
09:28Until next time.
09:29Give me some space.
09:35Arre shakes the first free throw.
09:40Paeng is more aggressive when he drives.
09:43Because last time, he was just shooting outside.
09:47But now, he's gotten stronger.
09:49And he's willing to take the contact when he gets to the paint.
09:53Paeng Arre is bulking up.
09:57That's why he's able to take the contact.
10:09San Sebastián's weak side defense is good.
10:12Kevin's weak side defense was good.
10:21Let's see.
10:22Arre's defense is giving space.
10:27Making the adjustment.
10:28Aguilar.
10:31Delfino.
10:32He slipped.
10:37Nice pass.
10:39Free from the corner.
10:41It's a good shot.
10:42That's what you're supposed to shoot.
10:46Delfino.
10:48CJ.
10:49Too strong.
10:50Too strong.
10:52That's a shame.
10:53That'll be a highlight in his story.
10:57He's going straight for it.
10:58What a shame.
10:59He should've had content.
11:00Arre.
11:01Wow.
11:02Over the outstretched arms of Kevin Santos.
11:06Again, you really have to choose Paeng.
11:09Are you going to give him the driving lane?
11:11How many possessions does he have that he's able to drive a basket that clear?
11:16And Estrada draws a foul.
11:27This is what Coach Ralph Rivera was explaining.
11:30Paeng Arre reading the defense and just blowing by the defender and even evading the 6'6 Kevin Santos.
11:44He already has 13 points in the game.
11:468 points this quarter.
11:48They really need to adjust the way they handle Paeng Arre.
11:55Wow.
11:56Letran with a turnover.
11:57Escovino.
11:58With some speed.
12:00For Escovino.
12:04Escovino is leading for San Sebastian.
12:10As Arre goes to the bench.
12:11Guajau.
12:14Deo.
12:15Cross court pass.
12:17Dumawas on the drive.
12:20And James is able to score on the pull up.
12:23Nice pull up jumper by Dumawas.
12:30Escovino.
12:32Off the glass.
12:34Dumawas picks up the ball.
12:40Estrada.
12:44Estrada.
12:47That would have been Kevin Santos' chance to score.
12:54If we look at San Sebastian's offense, it's like a one pass attack.
13:00If the defense of Letran is more disciplined, it will be easier for them to defend.
13:08There's no offense.
13:16Aguilar.
13:17Wild shot.
13:20Escovino.
13:24Wow.
13:26Beautiful.
13:28He didn't jump.
13:31Aguilar is very lucky.
13:35Holding foul on number 7.
13:38He didn't jump.
13:40Aguilar looks like he's sitting.
13:42You'd think he's on the heavy side, not moving.
13:46But he created the drum line.
13:48And he was inside for offensive rebound.
13:51Two feet close for Jimboy Estrada.
13:55So San Sebastian is in the penalty.
13:57Estrada.
13:59Returns to the free throw line.
14:01Let's watch Coach Ralph again.
14:11Those fouls are a waste.
14:14It's hard to get points.
14:18Then you give a foul.
14:21That's a bit painful for the team.
14:31Two for two for Jimboy Estrada.
14:41Jimboy's fourth point.
14:49Unnecessary foul.
14:51It's a good thing Letran didn't get a penalty.
14:57Another foul.
15:01Escovino.
15:04Escovino pulls up.
15:08That's Letran. Nice basketball.
15:10That's what's painful for San Sebastian's offense.
15:13Who's the one who dropped the ball?
15:21Wow.
15:24Nice. Nice pass.
15:26Wow.
15:29Nice. Nice pass. Nice swing.
15:32Again, the pull up.
15:34Like a shooting drill.
15:36That's too easy for him.
15:39That's 11 points.
15:40You'd think that 11 points would be a piece of cake.
15:48Escovino.
15:50That's what Escovino said.
15:52I really didn't need to play.
15:54I can do this.
15:59Estrada.
16:01Luna.
16:04And that's going to be a foul on Aguilar.
16:10That's two free throws for Letran.
16:24Wow.
16:26The green light that Are and Escovino had,
16:29that's the green light that Alid Bulanadi and RK Ilagan had.
16:35John Callejos' 8-second system is still here.
16:39I can't count, but his attack is fast.
16:43The shot clock is still long, but you can see that they're already laying up.
16:46The problem with Coach John Callejos' 7 seconds or less last season was
16:51in the fourth quarter, they ran out of gas.
16:55It was tiring.
16:56That's why, after several games,
17:00they've stepped up their system.
17:06Santos scores on the putback.
17:14Escovino.
17:16Luna with the board.
17:22There goes the foul.
17:23I think that's the second foul.
17:31Yup, Coach.
17:32Second foul for Santos.
17:36Coach Alan Ricardo's second foul for Kevin Santos.
17:40The offensive foul.
17:45That's what we're saying.
17:46If you get your second foul,
17:48in the second quarter,
17:49it's likely that the third quarter will be the game.
18:07It's just a tendency.
18:08Usually, both are giving a lot of pressure to their defense.
18:14Fouls have a high percentage.
18:16You can get a foul.
18:17If it's high, they'll get the penalty early.
18:25Precio.
18:29Bastet still has the ball.
18:32And...
18:33Oh, come on!
18:35He's able to score.
18:403-point deal.
18:423-point deal for Letran.
18:51Montecilio.
18:54Go.
18:55Estrada getting denied.
18:59If they're looking for Estrada in their offense,
19:02in their play,
19:03we're calling an eye call sign,
19:05we'll see that they're looking for Jimboy.
19:09There's a challenge made by Sensitivists and Golden Stags
19:12on the last out-of-bounds play.
19:14All players inside court,
19:16please proceed to the chain lane for respective benches.
19:19Both teams are advised to observe proper bench decorum.
19:25They say that basketball is a game of counters.
19:28You don't know if Letran will favor
19:34the pressure from the fast player, San Sebastian.
19:39And so, the height advantage of Letran,
19:43they can't take it because the game is fast,
19:45so they can't really bring the ball down.
19:53It looks like a good challenge from San Sebastian.
19:57And it is a successful challenge.
19:59A challenge made by San Sebastian and Golden Stags was successful.
20:04All pleasure, San Sebastian and Golden Stags.
20:14So, good strategy by San Sebastian
20:16to deny Jimboy Estrada.
20:19Because among the guards of Letran,
20:22it's Jimboy who really makes a conscious effort
20:26to call the players of Coach Alex.
20:29Letran's defense changed.
20:31They went to the zone.
20:321-2-2.
20:37Or man-zone.
20:42It's a pity.
20:44It's a pity.
20:45It's a pity.
20:46They didn't complete the defense.
20:48It's a pity.
20:49That easy basket was converted
20:52because of the missed steal.
20:57Estrada.
21:02Goal.
21:03Oh!
21:11On health, ladies and gentlemen.
21:13In the defense of Letran,
21:15Coach Alan Ricardo calls a timeout.
21:27It's a pity.
21:29It's a pity.
21:30It's a pity.
21:31It's a pity.
21:33He's a bit fast in his position.
21:36He has agility.
21:38He also has a bounce.
21:39This is Umali.
21:41It's a nice move from Inok Valdez.
21:44A deadly move.
21:46Provided by Inok Valdez.
21:49This is the play we saw earlier.
21:51Inok Valdez.
21:52It's a pity.
21:53We can do it.
21:57It's a pity.
21:58It's a pity.
21:59It's a pity.
22:01Earlier, was called for an unnecessary foul
22:05when he was defending 94 feet.
22:08He was able to recover back-to-back baskets.
22:18Let's see if Letran will continue
22:21with his zone defense.
22:26They removed the pressure in the backcourt.
22:37Gabbat.
22:42Gabbat.
22:43Speed move.
22:45Briccio.
22:46Fixed.
22:47Drives.
22:48Inside pass.
22:50And Rex Gabbat is able to score.
22:52San Sebastian recognized him.
22:54Actually, they will show a zone.
22:56But it will also convert to a man.
23:09Jomalas.
23:10Catch and shoot.
23:12He's automatic in that area.
23:19And last season, he was only averaging 2.6 points per game.
23:24But James Jomalas' responsibility suddenly increased.
23:34Estrada.
23:35On the drive.
23:36Chip Boy Estrada.
23:38Letran immediately recovered there.
23:45Chip Boy Estrada with 7 points in the first half.
23:55Nice anticipation from Montecillo.
23:57Montecillo.
23:59All the way.
24:00Montecillo.
24:10They formed a zone.
24:17Escobedo.
24:20Left to right.
24:21Right to left.
24:22Too bad it didn't go in.
24:24Estrada.
24:26Jomalas again.
24:27Automatic.
24:29Too bad.
24:31Chip Boy.
24:32Fade away.
24:33In the base.
24:369 points in his NCAA debut.
24:44And it's only the first half.
24:49Felibrico.
24:53Felibrico.
24:55Rizzo with the jumper.
24:58Lucky bounce.
25:02Final play of the second quarter.
25:05Ball to Chip Boy Estrada.
25:07Looks like Chip Boy is going to isolate.
25:11It's nasty.
25:12Rookie MVP mode for Estrada.
25:16Good defense.
25:18Good defense.
25:22And that's a stop by San Sebastian to end the first half.
25:27You're watching season 100 of the NCAA as opening weekend continues here on GTV and Heart of Asia.
