00:00Third, because it's hard.
00:02How would you stop that level of confidence of the players?
00:06That's right. Off the bench.
00:08Justin Sanchez started to go to work.
00:11Coach, in double digits today.
00:14He was in his bag, hosting up, going downhill.
00:18One of our first-half LPU players, Gael Montano,
00:23alongside Makwadanya.
00:25We got three dunks today from Biniyod.
00:27That one was the most spectacular.
00:30Anton Eusebio with a put-back gem.
00:33Makwadanya tried his very best to keep LPU within striking distance.
00:39But again, everything clicked for the Blazers in that first half.
00:43Anton Eusebio from the outside.
00:46John Morales, who scored eight points in the first two quarters
00:52as part of the starting unit.
00:54Here's his pass to Liwag at the bottom.
00:57With a gem right there.
00:59And Liwag just having fun against LPU.
01:03Yes. It's all about scoring for LPU Pirates.
01:06But when it comes to defense, you can't just celebrate.
01:11You have to do it technically correct.
01:13You need to have a solid rotation on the ball,
01:15and a solid wick side help.
01:19And we check out the numbers at the half.
01:23Seventy percent shooting for the Biniyod Blazers.
01:26Again, we mentioned maybe a few minutes left in that second quarter.
01:30Eight misses only for Biniyod on the other side.
01:34Forty percent is not bad.
01:36Coach, that's solid already for a first half.
01:39But if your opponent is 70 percent,
01:41it's really hard for you to keep up.
01:43And we check out the leading scorers as well.
01:46Look at the balance attack of this Blazers team.
01:48Sanchez with 13.
01:49Morales with 10.
01:51Liwag with 10.
01:52On the other side, Guadagna with 16 points.
01:55He's leading here in LPU, followed by Montanos with 10.
01:59After those two, the third leading scorer in LPU has four points already.
02:05Alright, Kapuso, we are still promoting, of course,
02:07our NCAA Season 100 Siglo Uno shirt.
02:11If you guys want to avail it, it is exclusively sold right there at GMA Store.
02:17www.gmastore.ph
02:18Also worn by our courtside reporters, including our courtside reporter today, Ms. Aliyah Pedilliaga.
02:25Please do avail if you like the design via gmastore.ph
02:31Second half is almost here.
02:33Good to have you with us.
02:34This is still Martin Oviera alongside Philippine Basketball's Defense Minister Coach Jericho De Nera.
02:40This is quite a deficit faced by the LPU Pirates.
02:46You mentioned a lot already about some adjustments defensively.
02:51But I feel like they should be playing their running game, their pressuring game already
02:59and start applying it against the Blazers if they want to put some points in quickly
03:07and put together some runs here in the second half.
03:11Yes, if you can cut it by at least half.
03:1510 points.
03:1712 points.
03:20You can cut it down.
03:21You can make progress there.
03:23And coming to the fourth quarter, you might get a ticket.
03:26But you won't be able to get it.
03:28Of course, the CSB shot it to the Blazers.
03:31One stop at a time, one basket at a time.
03:35This is how they usually win.
03:38They're still holding on, Coach.
03:43And that is the task now for the five players.
03:47Tito Richards, Eusebio overshoots a quick outlet for Kunana.
03:54Does not have the numbers.
03:56Wisely waits.
03:57Parva steps into a three and Parva knocks it down.
04:00It's a product of good defense earlier.
04:03Because of that, their zone is solid.
04:06It should all start defensively for LPU, Coach.
04:09Yes.
04:11To be able to manufacture some offense as well.
04:14Kunana with a perfect read.
04:17Apo Varva now with seven points.
04:20It's time to shine after being saddled with foul trouble
04:24in the first two quarters.
04:25Guadagna uncorks and misses.
04:32And the Blazers
04:35will settle down here on the half court.
04:39Inot is thinking.
04:41Kunana is about to steal.
04:44Another steal by LPU.
04:47Outlets.
04:48Inot with a counter steal.
04:53Pometa.
04:59This is, believe it or not, the first attempt at the first basket
05:03for Capcometa today.
05:05And Guadagna is called for the travel.
05:09This is a turnover for the LPU Pirates.
05:12Especially if you're chasing.
05:14If they're in danger, they should pull the ball.
05:18That's right, Coach.
05:19You know, don't force the issue, especially if you don't have the numbers.
05:22You can't afford the mistakes.
05:25Remember, the Blazers are slowing down quickly.
05:28That's why they know they're up.
05:29They don't want to get caught up in that.
05:31They don't want to repeat what happened in the net.
05:36That was an early wake-up call for the Blazers.
05:40Mark Sampo.
05:43Pometa outside.
05:45Galapet floats it up and puts it in.
05:47Capcometa.
05:50Starting to produce for Pinil.
05:52Two baskets here in the third.
06:00Montaño contested.
06:02Three is good.
06:03Perfect for Montaño.
06:05Now we use this opportunity to go courtside.
06:08A report from the dugout.
06:11Here now is Aliyah Fideliaga.
06:13Aliyah.
06:14This is only the first half.
06:16The third and fourth quarters will be ours.
06:19That is what Coach Gilbert Malabanan told the LPU Pirates.
06:23He also noted that they lack focus and discipline.
06:26And they need to listen to the game plan and execute their plays.
06:29Only 19 points down.
06:31And they can still recover in the second half.
06:34So let's see if the LPU Pirates can steer the ship towards the right direction to make a comeback.
06:38That's all from courtside.
06:39Back to you, Martin and Coach Jerry.
06:41Thank you, Aliyah.
06:43Pinil knows that.
06:44LPU, that's in their DNA.
06:49Fighting back, even when facing bigger deficits.
06:54They're known as a team who can come back.
07:00That's the resilience of LPU all these years in the NCAA.
07:06We've seen that.
07:07Season 97, 98, 99.
07:10And usually, we notice that when the LPU has a sense of urgency.
07:17They become stronger.
07:19And they have more stops.
07:23Correct.
07:24That's it.
07:25That's where the victory is.
07:27When the time is running out.
07:30You can see that time is not on your side.
07:33Yeah.
07:34But it's a hard battle against this talented new team.
07:38You want to talk about talent.
07:40Ato Barba.
07:43Making up for missed time in that first 10 points already for Barba.
07:49If you're playing, you don't want to lose.
07:52You're too cautious.
08:06Another hassle for Kunanan.
08:08For a big guy, he snatches them all.
08:19For a total of 10 points.
08:20So, he's starting to hum.
08:22This is what we've been waiting for.
08:26When in doubt, look for Barba.
08:30He's the leading scorer of our league.
08:3223 points per game.
08:34Here's McLeod.
08:35Pull-up jumper is good.
08:39Coach Jerry's comment is on point.
08:4218 points for McLeod.
08:46Liwag underneath.
08:47Liwag against 3 defenders.
08:49Liwag will recover.
08:52And that's on Guadagna.
08:58Look at this.
08:59Cross-court pass.
09:00Guadagna.
09:01One dribble in.
09:02Simple as that.
09:04But effective for McLeod Guadagna.
09:08You can see that Cometa is operating on the other side.
09:11Cometa's opponent is really painful.
09:14He's involving a big guy.
09:30But, he has a lot of passes.
09:33And the next pass leads to the assist.
09:42Liwag with 11 points and 6 boards with a block.
09:46Those are his numbers.
09:542 out of 2.
09:56So, the lead is back up to 16.
09:59Even with the work done by LPU early on in the third,
10:06Blazers still have a long way to go.
10:12It's really hard to catch up.
10:15Especially when Blazers are controlling the rebound.
10:19Big dot.
10:2021 points now for McLeod Guadagna.
10:27And that's his first triple of the game.
10:31Lead is down to 13.
10:33Oh, an offensive foul on Oli.
10:38Greg Cunanan getting into the scene.
10:45And Coach Charles wants to prevent this LPU uprising.
10:53Time out on the floor.
11:03Montecito.
11:06Estrada is on the move.
11:08Estrada puts it up here.
11:12So, Jimbo is on the move.
11:14Montecito.
11:16Surveys.
11:18Providing the screen again.
11:24Right time to call the time out for Coach Charles Chu.
11:28And they're doing it behind their two main gunners.
11:32McLeod Guadagna.
11:34Nailing a triple.
11:37And there's that play earlier.
11:40Greg Cunanan.
11:43Sacrificing his body.
11:45Getting bumped by Oli that time to force the offensive foul.
11:51And that's a foul.
11:52Getting bumped by Oli that time to force the offensive foul.
11:57You can do everything.
12:01But offense or defense, you have to do it.
12:05And LPU will have it here.
12:07A chance to continue to cut on to this lead.
12:11Attu Barba will bring it in.
12:17Here comes Pinoyog.
12:19Cometa.
12:21Sets it up from the top.
12:25Sanchez.
12:28Liwag.
12:29Doubled.
12:30Sanco is open.
12:32Spray for Cometa.
12:34Overcooks it.
12:36Rebound is grabbed by Aviles.
12:38Here comes LPU.
12:41It is with McLeod Guadagna.
12:43It is with McLeod Guadagna.
12:46They swing it to the left side with Cunanan.
12:49Here's the lob.
12:50It didn't go in.
12:53Montaño didn't see it.
12:59Two missed chances for LPU.
13:01Coach Jerry.
13:02The last two plays.
13:07Plays that they needed.
13:09And they should have scored because they got a stop.
13:19Inot.
13:20Inot to Liwag.
13:21Liwag.
13:22Shortstop.
13:26Now with 14.
13:30Guadagna.
13:32McLeod brings it in.
13:33Guadagna.
13:35Yes!
13:37Plus one coming up for McLeod.
13:46He's making good reads today, Coach.
13:51Timing to attack.
13:53And finds another crack in that Benil defense.
13:57Count it and the foul.
13:59McLeod has 23 points now.
14:03Across his name.
14:07It's a foul, right?
14:08Yes.
14:11They have to cut down on their turnovers so the game will be even.
14:17It is back down to 13.
14:22Sanco thought about it.
14:24Oh, an offensive foul on Ali Liwag.
14:28Sometimes he's been asking for the ball earlier.
14:30Liwag didn't see it.
14:33Maybe there was eye contact.
14:34Liwag's guard didn't have eye contact.
14:40Liwag is hot.
14:41He just finished his jumper.
14:44That's why he's looking for it again.
14:46Coach.
14:49The LPU got another turnover.
14:52And this is how they are creeping up on Benil.
14:56Here's the drive by the baseline.
14:59Stays with the Pirates with 14.
15:04And it's a foul.
15:09Joshua Cahugo is back in the game.
15:12The height that the LPU gave to the Pirates
15:14compared to Sanchez, Sanco.
15:17Almost 2-3 inches.
15:20It takes guts, effort, everything.
15:23To offset that.
15:24Correct.
15:29Here's Sanchez.
15:30Ian Torres also back in the game.
15:35Let's see if he can make a difference.
15:38Torres.
15:40Ali Liwag has been the man of the quarter for Benil.
15:45Liwag.
15:47Torres has three.
15:48He pulls the trigger.
15:51Nothing there.
15:52Sanchez.
15:53Loses it.
15:54At the barbell.
15:55Pull-ups.
16:01Barbell.
16:03Saw the opening.
16:05Off the heel.
16:06Montano's turn.
16:09He pulls it.
16:10Strong.
16:14Empty trip for the Pirates after three attempts.
16:17Sanco.
16:18Lost it.
16:19In the bottom.
16:21That's a shame.
16:22At least they got a shot.
16:24Right?
16:25But CSP again.
16:28It's not just...
16:33And that's Greg Cunanan.
16:35Way smaller than Mark Sanco.
16:38But he took Sanco off the dribble.
16:43Colin Sanco.
16:44Meantime.
16:47We have a timeout called by Coach Gilbert.
16:51They're getting close.
16:52But they can't keep up.
16:55They're gonna look for solutions here.
17:02We own the future.
17:04This is a league.
17:06This is a moment.
17:08In your heart.
17:10Pagsantan Falls.
17:11They're attacking.
17:12To the basket.
17:15Lead is down to 2 for Pimient.
17:18Torres.
17:19Sanco.
17:21In the bottom.
17:22Sanchez.
17:23Cleans it up.
17:25Sanchez.
17:27Three more to go.
17:28Boom.
17:31We have a smile cam.
17:33On our return here at Fill Oil.
17:36We should be smiling.
17:38We should be able to see what's happening on our big screen.
17:42So you know we're on a smile cam.
17:44Here.
17:45He knows.
17:46Nice.
17:48That's a fan from Pimient.
17:51He should be looking.
17:52There.
17:53Q doesn't need this anymore.
17:55He's already smiling.
17:58Right?
17:59Yes.
18:02You're on TV.
18:03Your time to shine.
18:06You gotta...
18:08Flash that smile.
18:10Coach is always smiling.
18:12Right?
18:14It's only Friday.
18:17But the coaches of both teams can't give up.
18:20They're not smiling.
18:21It's dangerous.
18:23ESPN Benil Racers are back in the big line-up.
18:26They're going to fight for three wins.
18:28Wait.
18:29Dailek and Sanco are exchanging.
18:34Barba.
18:35Pinagisipan.
18:36Migo to Claude.
18:38Guadagna against Kahupo.
18:39Guadagna.
18:41Guadagna.
18:42Nowhere to go.
18:43Dailek has one.
18:44He needs to take it.
18:46And a shotgun violation.
18:49That's a great stop for Benil.
18:53Renz Villegas.
18:55Renz Villegas.
18:57Will come back to the game.
18:59Along with...
19:02Palingayan.
19:07So the Blazers...
19:10Steady in the third quarter, coach.
19:12Despite...
19:15You know, the avalanche from LPU.
19:19Steady.
19:20They're steady.
19:22But the LPU Pirates need a miracle or a magic bullet.
19:28That's a foul on...
19:30Genesis Aviles.
19:34Coach Gilbert is looking for a spark.
19:37For a rally.
19:38That's right.
19:41John Morales.
19:43Makes his way back to the game.
19:46After scoring ten points.
19:48In the first half.
19:49Ten points, two rebounds, three assists.
19:53As a starter.
19:56Liwag.
19:58Nahupong.
19:59Step back.
20:00Three.
20:01Got it.
20:02Bottom of the net for Joshua Nahupong.
20:06Beautiful.
20:09And that hurts if you're LPU.
20:13Lira's been stretched...
20:15To 18 points again.
20:17Once again.
20:24Aviles...
20:26Counters right back.
20:27With a three of his own.
20:33And they need that production from the other guys, coach.
20:36Whatever it takes.
20:37That's right.
20:42Torres.
20:43Well handled.
20:45Kahukom on the cut.
20:47Met up top.
20:48Liwag cleans it up.
20:50With a flex.
20:53And then Liwag with another continuation.
20:59Let's watch this.
21:01Kahukom.
21:03Crossover.
21:04Step back.
21:05Three.
21:07On the other side.
21:08Genesis Aviles.
21:12But again.
21:14The number one rebounder in the league.
21:19Gets his third offensive rebound.
21:24And the putback as well.
21:27Too strong for Ali Liwag.
21:33So it stays...
21:35At 17.
21:37In the lead of Vinil.
21:41Parva against Liwag.
21:43Liwag's defense is tight.
21:46Parva scoops.
21:47Too strong.
21:50A little too ambitious that time for Atobarba.
21:52Here's Ian Torres.
21:55Ali to Sanchez.
21:57Liwag to the bottom.
21:58Liwag.
21:59It's too easy for Ali Liwag.
22:08Ball is tapped by Daileg.
22:10Broken play.
22:12Villegas.
22:14Parva down the middle.
22:15Parva falls down.
22:19Torres.
22:20Sanchez stops.
22:22And waits.
22:23No, he will go to Morales.
22:25Liwag going downhill.
22:27Liwag puts it up and in.
22:29This guy is on a roll.
22:3120 points for Ali Liwag.
22:3220 points for Ali Liwag.
22:39He has gotten better.
22:45Coach, Liwag has doubled.
22:4720 points and 11 boards.
22:52Villegas.
22:53No.
22:56Vinil.
22:58Tying their biggest lead of the game.
23:02And that's how we will end the third quarter action.
23:04The Blazers restoring their lead.
23:0780-59.
23:10We'll be back in the fourth and final chapter of this game.
23:12We'll be back.
23:13INCA Season 100.
