00:00At the end of that first quarter, I say big because that gave them their biggest lead, Coach Ralph, at 14 points.
00:10That was painful for JRU actually.
00:13It's good that they defended. Instead of just holding for 12 points, they grew even more.
00:20Those are the plays that can deflate if you're the other team.
00:24Of course, they still need to keep the ball alive. They still need to motivate each other.
00:29This is still far, 30 minutes. It's still a long way to go.
00:31It's still a long way to go.
00:32So, Commissioner, OG Bernarte talking to our referee.
00:39Okay, we're in the second quarter. That's referee Izuga talking to Commissioner OG.
00:47JRU's defense has changed. They're playing zone, 1-2-2 zone. Let's see if it's effective.
00:52Zone buster. A bit strong. But at the bottom, Bancale getting the offensive rebound.
01:00The weakness of the zone is the offensive rebound. It gives you a lot of offensive rebounds.
01:05Coach, you already forced the outside shot from John Jabonete.
01:11You didn't know the position of the rebound.
01:15So, Checo Bancale will step to the free throw line.
01:20And he will make it a 17-point lead for Mapua.
01:24This is getting big.
01:28The Mapua Cardinals. This is another statement first half for them.
01:37At this point of the season, they are starting to get that chemistry going.
01:43Missed fires. Bancale collects the rebound.
01:47This is Checo Bancale. Steady guard by Coach Randy. He will back up.
01:53Two players are down. Edward Ryan and Ivan Panapanan.
02:01JRU should focus on taking good shots. Actually, that's a good shot.
02:07That's possession by Panapanan.
02:09That's possession by possession. Don't look at the score.
02:12Joshua Guillaume to get a real possibility.
02:16Coming by Edward Ryan.
02:18Now, the two players were jockeying for possession.
02:22JRU, De Leon, and Panapanan will go out along with MJ Raimundo.
02:28Joshua Guillaume is back in the fold.
02:30Lance Benitez is with him.
02:32Raimundo is back in the zone.
02:37Earlier, they forced a missed shot by Guillaume.
02:41Cuenco recognizes that mismatch.
02:44It's really hard. They have a lot of weapons.
02:48They have a lot of weapons in Mapua right now.
02:50Sinclair is still firing.
02:524 out of 4 for Cuenco to begin this game.
02:55Argente.
02:56Oh, that's on JRU. Offensive foul on the heavy bombers.
03:01I thought JRU was going to favor JRU.
03:05Wow.
03:07JRU is stuck in a big hole here for the first time.
03:14Staring at a 19-point deficit.
03:17Mapua wants to add more.
03:20Pancale.
03:22Pancale drives. Pancale reverses.
03:26That would have been a highlight.
03:28That was beautiful.
03:31Raimundo.
03:35Gets himself to the free-flow line.
03:37Raimundo's aggressiveness continues.
03:40He needs to get his numbers here.
03:43As he steps to the free-flow line, let's go back courtside.
03:46With our courtside reporter, Erin T.
03:49Consistency, composure, and communication on the court.
03:52These are the things that need to be taken into account
03:55according to their team captains, Joshua Guillaume of JRU Heavy Bombers
04:00and Clint Escamiz of Mapua Cardinals.
04:02According to Guillaume, they need to focus on their chemistry on the court
04:06and maintain their defense until the end.
04:08According to Escamiz, they can't underestimate JRU.
04:11That's why they prepared for this match.
04:14With both squads determined, it all comes down to execution and art.
04:17Will Mapua maintain their aggressive pace
04:19or will JRU's young squad rise to the challenge
04:22and deliver a breakthrough performance?
04:24Let's see. Back to you, Martin and Rob.
04:26Thank you, Erin.
04:27Well, those are words from the respective team captains.
04:31As Mangubat drains the three-pointer.
04:34Mangubat is now part of the party.
04:36This is now a 21-point lead for Mapua.
04:41The communication and chemistry that's being said
04:45works better for the Mapua Cardinals.
04:49Not necessarily because of their ball movement.
04:52They're just waiting for their timing.
04:54Actually, they're not hoping for a draw.
04:57Whoever is free, whoever has an advantage, that's where they're going.
05:01And this time, it was Lawrence Mangubat
05:04draining a triple that time.
05:07Wait.
05:08Let's follow up below.
05:11For JRU, Coach,
05:15was Mapua's struggle in the offense
05:18accompanied by their breakthrough?
05:21They should just go back.
05:23Actually, they have the most free throws and it's per game.
05:26That's true.
05:27To get that, you have to be aggressive.
05:30You have to outwork Mapua.
05:33That's right.
05:36And that work rate has enabled them to get the two wins so far.
05:43Forward pass, Igleani!
05:45Touchdown!
05:48Off the vision by Clint Escaniz.
05:51If that's how Big Man runs, you should really credit him.
05:57Four assists per team.
05:58Another takeaway for Clint.
06:00Clint is at the back.
06:02Counter.
06:03Turnover.
06:04Three on two.
06:05JRU has the numbers.
06:06Uri!
06:10Here's Raimundo.
06:12What a beautiful pass for JRU Heavy Bombers.
06:15Counting 10th of a foul for MJ Raimundo.
06:18And that's officially his first basket of the game, Coach Ralph.
06:21That's his first?
06:22That's his first.
06:24He got my action.
06:25He's one of the ones Coach Louie expects to take charge here.
06:30With Argente, Guilla, it looks like they need to go.
06:36They're the ones who need to set up.
06:38Because of this game, one of their scorers, Jonathan Medina, again, not suited up.
06:46So, these two players, or three players for JRU really need to step up big time.
06:52One of their problems is giving 42 points with seven minutes left.
06:56That's right.
06:57The defense is really the problem right now.
06:59That's what they're looking for at the bottom.
07:01Just unable to finish.
07:03Here's Igliai.
07:0542-21.
07:07Raimundo.
07:09Benitez.
07:10Pangilinan sends it out.
07:12Raimundo from the baseline.
07:14No.
07:15Ball is tacked around.
07:16It ends up with Mangubat.
07:18Mapuha is controlling the rebounds.
07:21That's what JRU is looking for in his last games.
07:26One and done possessions for the Heavy Bombers.
07:29Mangubat again.
07:31Off to the right this time.
07:33And it goes back to the Heavy Bombers.
07:3842-21.
07:40And we saw earlier in the previous play.
07:43That's the usual shot of MJ Raimundo from the baseline.
07:47But somehow, there's still a challenge.
07:50And before he can receive the ball, how many rebounds did he receive?
07:54He's going to finish your legs.
07:56He's already hit a lot.
08:00Snipes a three.
08:03Badly needed.
08:04Three-point shot for JRU.
08:06That's a big thing for them.
08:07Maybe this is what needs to help the scoring group of JRU.
08:13Jovilian.
08:14Straight away.
08:16Not really his strength.
08:19If he falls in the scouting, that's what you'll give to Chris Jovilian.
08:22The shooting.
08:23At the bottom.
08:25The foul is called.
08:26This is Aguimeñi.
08:28Noel Aguimeñi.
08:30Here he is.
08:32Meantime, here's the sequence.
08:34Joseph Pangilinan.
08:36Off the handoff.
08:37Nailing a three-pointer.
08:39But it's an 18-point lead for Mapuha.
08:42Almost halfway through the second break.
08:55Almost a steal.
08:56Actually, he completes the steal.
08:58Paeng Are.
08:59Bumiting sa Are.
09:01Paeng Are.
09:03And one.
09:05There's a deflection here from Paeng Are.
09:08Condition.
09:09He's caught up.
09:11Full-on defense.
09:13He's waiting.
09:14He's been in the air for a long time.
09:15He's waiting for the ball to come down.
09:18And there's another foul.
09:22And the foul goes in.
09:25Straight away.
09:26What a waste.
09:27He should've had content.
09:28Paeng Are.
09:29Wow.
09:30Over the outside.
09:32Wow.
09:33Over the outstretched arms of Kevin Santos.
09:38This is what Coach Ralph Rivera was explaining.
09:42Paeng Are.
09:43Read the defense.
09:51Mapuha with a commanding lead here in the first half.
09:5342-24.
09:56And leading the way for Mapuha.
09:59Chris Wabilia with 10 points.
10:01Cyrus Cuenco with 10.
10:03Manguvat with 8.
10:04Escanis with 6 points.
10:07Joshua Guillep to the line.
10:10He makes the first.
10:11Mapuha has a lot of e-scores.
10:13It's hard to check.
10:15Who are you going to watch?
10:16Who are you going to help?
10:17If you're going to help one person,
10:19they have an open guide.
10:21They can convert it.
10:22And Coach Randy's replacement.
10:25He knows.
10:28The right combinations.
10:30Clint Muna.
10:32Cyrus Muna.
10:33Okay.
10:34I'll have both of you at the same time.
10:36The firepower won't run out.
10:38Every time they switch,
10:39there's still someone who can score.
10:41That's right.
10:42There's still a shot creator who can go.
10:46Mapuha is going in.
10:48Guillep trickles in the second free throw.
10:52Joaquin Garcia.
10:54Veteran guard.
10:55He's been out of the NCAA for a long time.
10:57Missed all of last season.
10:59With a right knee injury.
11:01Joaquin Garcia's shooting is beautiful.
11:04Designated sniper.
11:06And a very steady point guard as well.
11:08Here he is.
11:09On cue.
11:10Knocks down.
11:11You know why he was knocked down.
11:13He needs a shooter.
11:15Garcia in.
11:18That's amazing.
11:21A beautiful welcome back for Joaquin Garcia.
11:25Nailing a basket right here.
11:26Lorenz Mangubat really gave it to him.
11:29They immediately responded to JRU's zone defense.
11:34And this is a different look for Mapuha.
11:36Wait.
11:37Joaquin Garcia here.
11:38Here he is again.
11:39One more time.
11:40Same spot.
11:42Of the front of the rim this time.
11:45He's flying.
11:48Doesn't get the pectus.
11:49Follow-up.
11:51He's going for the putback.
11:52His length is beautiful.
11:53Joseph Pangilinan.
11:55Nailed a three earlier.
11:56Now he cuts the lead down to 17.
11:59Lorenz.
12:00Gave it to Coach Randy.
12:02Coach Randy can shoot.
12:04I thought Coach Randy had a triple threat.
12:07Ready to shoot.
12:09Here's Pangilinan.
12:11Missed the first challenge shot.
12:13He got it again, Coach.
12:15Amazing.
12:17MJ Raymundo.
12:20Guillermo.
12:22Guillermo hands it off.
12:23Nope.
12:25Instead gives it to Raymundo here.
12:27Slight separation.
12:29That will not work.
12:30It's still a challenge shot.
12:33Here's Lorenz Mangubat.
12:38Another quick lineup on the floor for Coach Randy.
12:44They immediately identified.
12:45Switch.
12:47Big to small.
12:48He immediately went for the post.
12:50This is what Coach Randy learned.
12:53Coach is ready.
12:55The ball is gripping.
13:01You won't let me hold it.
13:08But he has the luxury of playing Cuenco and Latrino, Coach.
13:13He likes this lineup of two quick guards.
13:16Mangubat and Garcia.
13:17Cuenco is in the 3.
13:19Cuenco can play 3-4.
13:21Cuenco has no weakness in defense.
13:24He can guard small.
13:26Even if you give him a big one, his body is ready to defend.
13:31He can take any position.
13:35Such a versatile player.
13:37And he has that scoring prowess as well.
13:41Coach Randy using this time to call his players.
13:46Call his players.
13:48Regroup.
13:51In time, Argente steps out.
13:54He's been struggling in this game.
13:56Argente, 1 out of 6.
13:59His only basket, the 3 points earlier in the game.
14:03Sean is being watched now.
14:05He's focused.
14:06That's the hard part when you're playing well.
14:09You're really preparing for the next game.
14:12Especially if you're against a very good team.
14:15And a very disciplined team like Mapua.
14:18You know that this is a scouting team.
14:20They're always ready.
14:221 out of 2 for Noel Aguimena.
14:24Aguimena also coming off the juniors program.
14:27Mapua Red Robins.
14:32Here's Benitez.
14:35Benitez.
14:37Pass was intended for Mark Barrera.
14:41But Joaquin Garcia caught it.
14:42Joaquin Garcia there.
14:44That's a penalty.
14:46That's what JRU can go for now.
14:48Go to the free-throw line.
14:50They'll slowly reduce it.
14:52They'll get 15 points.
14:54They'll go back there.
14:57So Mark Barrera, this is another guy that they can lean on.
15:01Aside from Argente, of course.
15:04He's one of Coach Dewey's steady shooters.
15:07He's got that nice shooting form as well.
15:10Nice shooting stroke.
15:12Last game, he scored 14 points.
15:15That's a big factor.
15:17If they're going to win, Barrera needs to help out.
15:20Mark Barrera.
15:22Second year in the NCAA.
15:24Rattles in both free-throws.
15:26It's a 16-point lead.
15:29JRU's zone is showing.
15:31Let's see if they'll continue.
15:33Sometimes they fake the zone.
15:35Then it falls to the man.
15:37Cuenco scoops.
15:38Scoops!
15:40Nice baseline drive for Cyrus Cuenco.
15:43Mapua always has an answer.
15:46That scoop was amazing.
15:49It's a foul.
15:51Beautiful feed to the rolling Giab.
15:57They can go for a pick and roll with Giab.
16:00But they can't afford to exchange baskets with Mapua.
16:04Garcia left with space.
16:06Garcia left with space.
16:08The score is high.
16:1048.
16:12There's still 3 minutes.
16:14Here's Samuntanes.
16:16Barrera.
16:18Giab.
16:20Giab goes around.
16:22Giab scores.
16:24Around the world.
16:26That's right.
16:28Go to Giab.
16:30He has an advantage over Hubilian.
16:32Guarding is big.
16:34Hubilian is trying to take advantage.
16:36Here's Cyrus Cuenco's drive.
16:39It's hard to cover Cuenco.
16:42You don't know if you'll give him the 3 points.
16:44If you give him the 3 points, his percentage is high.
16:47If you do a long closeout, you'll be blown away.
16:50That's right.
16:52This is what Coach Randy wants.
16:54We see this feed.
16:56Cuenco really provides that mismatch against the big men of JRU.
17:01Joshua Giab's move earlier, going around Hubilian.
17:04To get the hoop.
17:06Let's timeout first.
17:14If in Season 99, there are new heroes of the game,
17:18in this first century, NCAA also has OG heroes.
17:22It's not just sports legends and famous celebrities
17:26who became the fruits of NCAA schools,
17:29but also the national heroes of the Philippines
17:32and the former president.
17:34The product of the Collegio de San Juan de Letran
17:38are the revolutionary Apolinarios Mabini.
17:43Lone bright spot for JRU here in the first half.
17:47This is their captain, Josh Mugiab.
17:4910 points and a board.
17:52He's gone 3 out of 6 from the field as well.
17:55He and Joseph Pangilinan,
17:59the one who's in charge of scoring.
18:02And again, very limited production from their key guys
18:06in Argente and Raimundo.
18:08They need help there.
18:10The work they're giving to Raimundo is really heavy.
18:13I mean, to Giab.
18:17He's going to get a rest first.
18:20New player.
18:22For Coach Louie here.
18:24This is Magic Bonut.
18:25Magic Bonut.
18:27He's looking for someone to make an impact on the court.
18:32This is...
18:39Garcia.
18:41On the floor now for JRU.
18:47Well done.
18:49I'm looking at Coach if this is his first game.
18:51This is his first game.
18:56Actually, yeah.
18:58This is the first game for Garcia here.
19:04So, Coach Louie is digging deep.
19:07Against Mapua.
19:09You need to take a chance.
19:11Actually, this is an opportunity for others.
19:14You need to show yourself now.
19:17Yes, you can see it Coach.
19:18The band.
19:20The introduction.
19:2536 to 49.
19:28JRU took Mapua's lead by 13 points.
19:32It was as big as 23 points earlier.
19:35Bang! Got it with a counter.
19:40It's really hard.
19:42Coach Louie's head hurts.
19:44He doesn't know what to do.
19:46There's too many weapons.
19:48Cardinals.
19:50And now they're up to 52 points in the first half.
19:53You can't convert.
19:55Challenge shots.
19:57They're all at the same time.
19:59Mapua's defense is not over.
20:01That's a big advantage.
20:03Here's Jovilia.
20:05Bangkale.
20:07Just hit a three.
20:09Cross court to Cuenco.
20:11Strong shot.
20:13Panapanaan just couldn't secure the rebound there.
20:19Step back long two.
20:21It's like Garcia.
20:23He's laughing.
20:25That's what he meant.
20:27Jacob Bangkale with a counter three.
20:31On the other side.
20:33Again, all of the attempts of JRU to come back.
20:37Mapua always has an answer.
20:40Jovilia cleans it up.
20:42Cuenco is down.
20:45He got hit on top of the head.
20:49Let's take a look.
20:51Off the layup.
20:53He's just laughing.
20:55Let's take a look, coach.
21:00Definitely was off.
21:02His...
21:05Attempt.
21:07Then he was followed by Garcia.
21:11But he's okay.
21:13Did he get angry?
21:15Oh yeah.
21:16Clint comes back in for Cyrus.
21:20Good timing to let him rest.
21:23He played well.
21:25He contributed a lot.
21:27Cuenco with 13 points.
21:30And a perfect...
21:33Stint from the field.
21:35Five out of five.
21:37Here he is.
21:39He's being iced.
21:42Cuenco is slowly establishing himself.
21:44He's probably going to be Clint's partner.
21:48Especially when it comes to scoring.
21:50Because this year, for Mapua,
21:53they had some big losses going into this season.
21:56Warren Bonifacio, Joe Pezzoriano, one of their key picks.
22:00Hernandez, is that right?
22:02Paolo Hernandez, that's right.
22:04They said it's going to be tough.
22:06It's going to be tough.
22:08But here, they stepped up.
22:10They should have stepped up for each other.
22:11Raimundo.
22:13Struggling in the first half.
22:15Step-back jumper.
22:17It's hard to hit.
22:19But MJ Raimundo was able to score.
22:21If you were Mapua's coach,
22:23you'd still be happy with his defense.
22:25Challenge, step-back,
22:27still good defense.
22:29That was under duress for Raimundo.
22:32Who now has five points.
22:34Mangubat.
22:36Escamiz.
22:38Bonete.
22:39You can't see Mangubat.
22:41Battle for the board.
22:43It ends up with Benitez.
22:45Here's Mosqueda.
22:47The other way we go.
22:49Yes!
22:51JRU.
22:53Cuts into this lead.
22:55It's a
22:57quick blitz
22:59for JRU to end the first half.
23:02A good bounce for them.
23:05Lawrence Mangubat.
23:07Handles.
23:09Mangubat
23:11against Garcia.
23:13Mangubat.
23:15Counted end of foul for Lawrence Mangubat.
23:18Garcia got veteran moves there.
23:21It hurts.
23:23JRU is slowly coming down.
23:25You have a big lead.
23:27You'll just be given a one-on-one again.
23:31MJ Raimundo's step-back jumper.
23:33That has to feel good.
23:35Sidney Mosqueda.
23:37Double pump in transition.
23:39Here's Lawrence Mangubat.
23:41Isolation
23:43for Lawrence.
23:45ISO one-on-one.
23:47Makua is doing it again and again.
23:49But the recognition
23:51of who will do the ISO is what's important.
23:54And Mangubat, very gifted scorer.
23:56A few months ago he was
23:58with the Red Robins in
24:00high school.
24:02Average, just a shade under 18 points per game.
24:05Last shot for JRU.
24:07And look at the pressure of Makua.
24:10JRU
24:12on the attack.
24:14That's fouled.
24:16Penalty.
24:18Two free throws for JRU.
24:20So Concepcion
24:22will be called for this one.
24:24Concepcion took a long time to catch his breath.
24:26That was the starting lineup earlier.
24:29Their rotation is slow.
24:31And whoever Concepcion passes to
24:33doesn't contribute.
24:35Not only offensively,
24:37but defensively.
24:39What they're doing
24:41is really hard work.
24:43And Sean Argente
24:45to the free-throw line here.
24:47This is his first trip.
24:49And it's touching
24:51to see his shooting on the line here.
24:53It's their way of life.
24:55It's their body language
24:57that you can feel
24:59and they're focused.
25:01You're right, coach.
25:03And that's a testament
25:05of how tough this Makua defense is.
25:06Throwing off.
25:08Makua should be physically,
25:10mentally, and emotionally tough.
25:12That's right.
25:14Final shot of the first half.
25:16And it's with Manguban.
25:18Manguban, no.
25:20And that's how we will end
25:22the first 20 minutes of action
25:24here inside
25:26the Fino-Alec Oil Center, Makua
25:28with a high-scoring first half.
25:30They lead it by 16 points,
25:3257 to 41.
