00:00For Coach Gerson Cabiltas, who I think is celebrating his birthday today.
00:06Okay.
00:07Here are the hearts of the JRU vs EAC, we are at the tail end of the first round.
00:18So no Erlan Umpad for EAC, it's gonna be Gelo Loristo manning the center as they face an
00:25undersized JRU team.
00:26First crowd at the basket for the Generals, and they need this guy to produce right away.
00:33Gurtiza faces Adobo, here's the swarm by JRU, and that's what they're planning to do here.
00:40Get the ball out of King Gurtiza, then pressure the other teammates.
00:44Yes, JRU's plan here is to beat the others, not just Gurtiza, because of course, they
00:51are scouting already.
00:52If Gurtiza plays well, they will have a better chance.
00:56That's right, to open the scoring though, that's Gelo Loristo banking it home, 2-0.
01:03The Generals again coming off a huge win against LPU, it was a 2-point victory, 92-88.
01:11JRU on the other hand, they want to get back on the winning course.
01:15Guillep gets fouled.
01:18And here you can see, as we see, Coach Luis Gonzalez here, of course, head coach of JRU.
01:24On the other side, his head-to-head, Coach Gerson Caviltes.
01:29Guillep is much shorter than Loristo, but as you can see, he has an advantage on the hips.
01:34He's heavier, he's heavier, that's why he's pausing there.
01:38Actually, they have a better chance if Guillep is touching the ball, maybe here at JRU.
01:45That's a fantastic start for MJ Raimundo, who after breaking out a couple of games ago,
01:52struggled in the previous one, only 3 out of 13 against Mapua.
01:56Gurtiza, the feed.
01:58Oh, Luciano just missed with the left.
02:01That's right, what Gurtiza is doing well now, he's including his teammates first,
02:07and he will attack when he falls later.
02:10You can see Mike Galeano.
02:12He forced an attack there.
02:13Tried to do a little too much.
02:15Pagsanhan.
02:16Gurtiza.
02:17Good D by Mosqueda.
02:19Mosqueda's defense was good there.
02:21He just forced Gurtiza.
02:23This is what we expected, a fast-paced first quarter.
02:28Up and down we go, but JRU is too slow.
02:32Mentes.
02:33Long rebound, sails out.
02:35This gives us a chance to go courtside for the first time.
02:38Here is the first report from our courtside reporter.
02:42This day last year, the EAC Generals bowed down to the JRU Heavy Bombers in Season 99.
02:48This time around, let's see if that will be the case or otherwise.
02:51That's why let's talk about why this game is important for our playing teams.
02:56Coach Gerson of the EAC Generals says that this specific game is vital for positioning
03:00if they want to enter the 4th to 6th ranks in the first round.
03:03He added that the Generals need to take care of their lead no matter what.
03:09JRU Head Coach Louie Gonzalez says that the Heavy Bombers badly need a win
03:13if they want to keep up in the second round.
03:15The coaching staff said that one doing good one thing good is never enough,
03:19and the team needs to consistently do good.
03:21For this game, we aren't going to see EAC's Edmilag, Bakud, and Guevara on the court
03:25because they are recovering from being sick.
03:27Also, Ramos and Medina from JRU are out today due to an injury on the knee and Achilles, respectively.
03:32I'll share more reasons why this game and season are important for our players throughout the game.
03:36Back to you, Martin and Bo.
04:06They are at the bottom of our standing at 7 and 9.
04:09So, Arellano won.
04:12They need to win. They need to start now.
04:14Because our first round is almost over. You only have like 9 after this.
04:18Then, you'll be able to catch up if you don't win.
04:21That's why these two should start now.
04:24This is Mosqueda's shift.
04:26He's down the middle.
04:27Oh!
04:28Flips it up with the left.
04:30He knows that there's a defense on the right.
04:34He's hiding his left.
04:37That was a good move by Joshua Diab.
04:41That's the confidence you have if you were playing good.
04:44You can handle all the defense.
04:47That's your mindset if you're playing well.
04:51Pangilinan steps into it.
04:53Thought about it. Took it.
04:55It's over. Joseph Pangilinan.
04:58His shot was on the line. That's why it was short.
05:02Harvey!
05:03That's it!
05:04Pag-san-han up and in!
05:06He defended Mosqueda Dom.
05:09Pag-san-han seems to be in danger.
05:12He defended Mosqueda Dom.
05:14Harvey is like that. He knows how to use his upper body.
05:17Actually, he knows how to use his body.
05:20Raimundo misfires.
05:23And it goes back to EAC.
05:25Arellano bad!
05:27Made an early entry.
05:29Jello Loristo is in danger.
05:31Here's the face-up jumper by King Gortiza.
05:34But on the other side, Diab with a flip shot right here.
05:38High off the glass and then countered quickly
05:41by the rampaging Harvey Pag-san-han.
05:44EAC is looking forward to the early goings of this game.
06:00The shoot gives it to Montano.
06:02To the corner, Guadagna.
06:03Fourth to shoot, Guadagna.
06:05Fires a jumper! It's good!
06:09Maqulod Guadagna!
06:13Arellano will try once again.
06:15Five seconds.
06:16Basti Valencia from the tree.
06:18No good!
06:20And now, PU Pirates!
06:22This one, it is EAC with a slight lead.
06:26Almost four minutes going by here in the first frame.
06:32This is what we expected, Big Bo.
06:34A fast game as we see the birthday boy right here, Coach Gerson.
06:39What is the birthday of his players to him right now?
06:42It's either a win or a frustration.
06:45Something like that.
06:47You know, Big Bo, if you're a player,
06:49you have two pressures in this game.
06:51Of course, you want to win to improve,
06:53but it's your coach's birthday.
06:55You have to win.
06:56It's like it's hard to have a birthday
06:58that you're nervous about after the game, right?
07:00It's bad, right?
07:01Yes, and you'll eat sadness because you lost.
07:05It's up for the field.
07:06It's up for the EAC.
07:08It's up for the JRU.
07:10That's right.
07:11Continuous action.
07:14Harvey Pagsanan.
07:15Bubuelo.
07:16Good matchup here, Harvey.
07:18Harvey Pagsanan's attack is beautiful.
07:21Harvey Pagsanan's attack is beautiful.
07:23You know, he's good at timing.
07:26He doesn't rush.
07:28If he sees that there's a mismatch,
07:30he'll attack.
07:33Because he went for the pedal.
07:34Bubuelo, right?
07:35Yes.
07:36He dribbled to make it smooth.
07:40Although, Pangilinan has a good defense.
07:43That's why he's still running.
07:45That's what our referees saw.
07:47And here's the problem of the EAC.
07:51From the start of the season, that's their problem.
07:54Free throws.
07:55They were really struggling for the free throws.
07:57You know, if you look at their game against LPU,
08:00they would've won that comfortably.
08:02Yes.
08:03Because 9 out of 24.
08:05Imagine 15.
08:06You make it half of it.
08:07You can't reach Gurtiza's pressure free throw.
08:11That's right.
08:12Right?
08:13And it's a tie.
08:14Good ball.
08:15They're now 0 out of 2.
08:17So, JRU has a chance to retaliate.
08:20Cross court pass.
08:21Touch and shoot.
08:22Mosqueda.
08:23Off the heel.
08:24And the rebound is grabbed by Gurtiza.
08:27Here's the EAC.
08:28Doromal.
08:29Umpad let it go.
08:31Doromal's intention was good.
08:33That's why he did that.
08:34That's what Umpad needs to improve.
08:37Because he was running fast.
08:39He was pushing him.
08:41He was disoping him.
08:42He couldn't hold him.
08:45If he could get that, it would've been a tie.
08:47Yes.
08:48He can even dunk it.
08:49Yes.
08:50He can't reach it.
08:51It's hard.
08:52He's the tallest player in the league.
08:54Last season, there was a contention if it was him or Hopia.
08:57Yes.
08:58Right?
08:59Yes.
09:00Now, it's just him.
09:01Can you imagine him guarding Giyap?
09:04Yes.
09:05How far the disparity of their height is.
09:08That's right.
09:10Son Argente.
09:12Just entered the game.
09:14Umpad doesn't have the ball.
09:15Giyap.
09:16But he gets the second serving.
09:18Umpad grabs it.
09:20Harvey Pagsanhan.
09:22Bubuelo again.
09:24They will wait.
09:25Hand off for Gurtiza here.
09:26King will create.
09:28King.
09:29Sends it out.
09:30Doromal for three.
09:33And a rebound for Raimundo.
09:35Here's Son Argente.
09:38Son attacks.
09:39Base nine.
09:40Giyap.
09:41Piece of piece of shot.
09:42There's still no room.
09:43Raimundo.
09:44Oh.
09:45Harvey.
09:46He let it go there.
09:47Oh.
09:48Pagsanhan.
09:49He should have grabbed it.
09:50He just let it go.
09:51And here in the AAC, what I notice is they need the offense of Luciano.
09:57Yes.
09:58And Doromal.
09:59Because Gurtiza is alone.
10:02Pagsanhan is alone.
10:03Here.
10:04Pass break.
10:05Giyap.
10:07Bucket and beyond for Joshua Giyap.
10:12And he does it in transition.
10:16Right over Erlan Umpad.
10:18Wasn't bothered.
10:20You see, Umpad is trailing.
10:22If it wasn't on the other side, Umpad would have caught it.
10:25But he caught it on the other side.
10:27Umpad tried to catch it, but he couldn't.
10:31Giyap's takeoff is off-foot.
10:34Just to avoid Umpad.
10:36Noby Lucero.
10:38Checks in for the first time.
10:40Lance Benitez.
10:42Also coming in for JRU.
10:46Ivan Panapanaan is in the game already.
10:48Panapanaan is coming off one of his best games here in the NCAA.
10:5415 points for Panapanaan against Mapua.
10:57What are we waiting for?
10:59Because we know the potential of that kid.
11:01Yes.
11:02He's also one of those who are waiting here in the NCAA.
11:06This kid.
11:07Little by little.
11:08He's adjusting.
11:09He's still new.
11:11Lucero is sketching here.
11:13When Lucero comes in, it's like everything is so hot for him.
11:18I don't know if they'll be able to catch Lucero here.
11:23But you can really rely on him.
11:25Yes.
11:26Look at this.
11:27Really.
11:29Lucero knocked out everyone.
11:32It's the same.
11:33You don't want to leave?
11:35It's not one, it's two.
11:36It's two.
11:37It's two.
11:40He's getting into the head of these players.
11:47That's one of his jobs on the court.
11:49To play mind games with the defenders of the opposing team.
11:55I recall that Kapulong was thrown out because of this guy.
12:03Can you imagine?
12:04You threw out the big bun.
12:05Here comes RB Pagsanhan.
12:07Pagsanhan is confident that he can take on any defender on this JRU lineup.
12:12Yes.
12:13He can take on anyone.
12:14When he starts on the outside, he can do it.
12:15You know that?
12:16He can do it.
12:17Wait.
12:18Let's attack.
12:19And he's attacking.
12:20Yes.
12:21He's not settling on the pull-up.
12:23Here comes Harvey Pagsanhan.
12:24Another chance at the free-throw line.
12:27In his first trip, he was 0 out of 2.
12:31Finally makes one here.
12:34He doesn't need to warm up.
12:36Here comes Harvey Pagsanhan.
12:39Again, an up-and-down season for Harvey so far.
12:44This is one of the things we expect.
12:46He's going to make a lot of noise in the NCAA.
12:49Yes.
12:50Even Octana.
12:51Even Wilmar.
12:53If you will see the scoring,
12:55it's only Gurtiza who's in double figures at 15.
12:59After that, it's 9-8.
13:02Maybe it's the lack of contribution from Gurtiza's crew.
13:06That's right.
13:07Gurtiza is providing the points.
13:09The crew, the supporting cast, is not there.
13:11You need that second and third double-digit scorers
13:16to help.
13:17Wow!
13:18Lance Benitez.
13:20Looping that one.
13:22Up and in.
13:24That was a fumble.
13:26His fight was good.
13:28He was forced.
13:29He fumbled.
13:30He fell down.
13:32There.
13:33It's fouls, Octana.
13:34He dropped his hand.
13:36Arjente's defense was helpful.
13:40Arjente is in front.
13:42Octana has no choice.
13:44Benitez is almost there.
13:46He's already giving the shot.
13:49But Benitez's free throws...
13:54That's Benitez.
13:56JRU or Sir Jahed.
13:5811-9 here in the first frame.
14:01Lucero.
14:03Lucero.
14:05There.
14:06Unable to handle the pass.
14:08He is doubled.
14:09Automatic.
14:10He's holding the ball.
14:12He's trapped.
14:15Actually, he's in a good position.
14:19He's being dished out.
14:21That's why he's letting the ball go.
14:23He can't handle it.
14:25If he gets the ball in his low block position,
14:28he can't reach it.
14:31He'll just floater it.
14:33He'll just board it.
14:34That's what Umpad needs to improve.
14:36Because he's big.
14:38He's big.
14:39Those big guys are rare.
14:41Those tall guys.
14:42He's been a work in progress
14:44for EAC for a few seasons now.
14:48Drive left.
14:49Down the middle.
14:50Up and in.
14:51That's good.
14:55What a move.
14:56Coming from Vince Bernardo.
15:00Who used to be part of the reserves in JRU.
15:03Wow.
15:04Dips it through.
15:05Down the middle.
15:06For Nobi Lucero.
15:09Action picking up here in the first.
15:11Let's go first to this quick break.
15:17Off the bench for Luzano.
15:22The players are going to fight.
15:24You don't know who's going to score.
15:28He sent it back out to Goho Cruz.
15:30Good challenge.
15:31He will pull the trigger.
15:32But he will knock it down.
15:35And that's the scoring caliber.
15:39That's the scoring caliber.
15:42That's the scoring caliber.
15:45That's the scoring caliber.
15:49Back to our match.
15:50Just got in.
15:51Vince Bernardo.
15:53Driving down the lane.
15:56But on the other side.
15:58The cutting Nobi Lucero.
15:59He's back.
16:01Wait a minute.
16:03Smooth finish for Lucero.
16:06To counter for EAC.
16:07We are at 13-11.
16:102.45 to go here in our first quarter.
16:16Nico Quenal's shot is beautiful here.
16:20This is more of a streaky shooter.
16:24If you leave a little space here.
16:26It's like Deo Quahau.
16:33Give it a little space and you're done.
16:35Nico Quenal is a much improved three-point shooter.
16:38The match is over.
16:40JRU was unable to get the inbound properly.
16:43So that's a result to a turnover.
16:48Miscommunication there.
16:51The opponent is passing there.
16:54He should get it.
16:55Yes, he should receive it.
16:57Octana, that's a dangerous pass.
16:59Too tight.
17:01They have a good intention of giving it up to Octana.
17:04That's why it's too crowded there.
17:06And there are people in front of him.
17:09Even if he gets it.
17:10Even if he gets it.
17:11You have a defender in front of you.
17:40It went to Pagsanhan.
17:42Harvey.
17:43Quenal for three.
17:45No.
17:47It just went in.
17:48Nico Quenal's first shot.
17:50Son.
17:51Benitez fell.
17:52We have a foul on Lucero.
17:54Can you imagine Lucero?
17:56The big man fell.
17:57The big man fell.
17:58Right?
17:59That's how big.
18:00That's how strong this is.
18:03What did you do?
18:04Did you break your foot?
18:07It's a game there.
18:10Benitez is the one who established how to screen.
18:13If he screens, he's a big man.
18:16You're wiped out there.
18:18But he dropped the big.
18:22A little color in our fight.
18:27Coach Gerson is telling him.
18:29A little brain, kid.
18:31You're too quiet.
18:37That was a chop.
18:40Penalty.
18:41Penalty.
18:42Two shots.
18:43They were going to review it.
18:47That was a chop.
18:48From the review itself, it's a chop.
18:52It's not an open palm.
18:54It's a closed palm.
18:56It's a chop.
18:57Right?
18:58Here.
18:59Maybe that's what he's asking for.
19:01It's a chop.
19:02It's a chop.
19:03It's a chop.
19:04It's a chop.
19:05It's a chop.
19:06It's a chop.
19:07It's a chop.
19:08It's a chop.
19:09Maybe he's asking for a JRU to review it.
19:13This is what you get away with.
19:15In other leagues, it's not televised.
19:19There's not a lot of cameras.
19:21Here, there's a lot.
19:24Aside from the four cameras on the floor.
19:31There's more on the side.
19:33We have a lot of camera options here.
19:37Coach Louie is saying...
19:39They see it as a closed fish.
19:41A closed fish chop.
19:42It's not an open palm.
19:44If it's an open palm, then it's fine.
19:47But if it's a closed fish...
19:49There's a contention.
19:51There's an argument that it's allowed.
19:53Coach Louie said...
19:55He took note of that.
19:57He said it's allowed.
19:59If our referees allow those things...
20:05It's like a regular foul.
20:07Of course, your players tend to do this.
20:09It's just a regular foul.
20:36Garcia.
20:38Garcia.
20:39Pull up.
20:40Difficult save.
20:41But he makes it.
20:43No matter how hard it is, he still makes it.
20:47Here's Noby Lucero.
20:49Bounce pass.
20:50Kinal too deep.
20:51Taken away by Argente.
20:53And Sean is on the move.
20:54JRU has the numbers.
20:564-on-1.
20:57Full.
20:58It's still red.
20:59Bumites.
21:01That's the whistle.
21:03There's a lot of chances.
21:05That's where Argente should be.
21:07It should be a bait basket.
21:08This is the attack earlier by Bagay.
21:10It's free.
21:12That's the problem when you're under pressure.
21:14This is what Garcia hit.
21:16It's really tough.
21:19Better defense, but...
21:20It was a better offense for Garcia.
21:23Lance Benitez to the line.
21:27JRU unable to take care of the fast break earlier.
21:30Argente made a mistake.
21:32It's free.
21:34Easy's defender is smart.
21:36It's a 4-on-1.
21:37It's a 4-on-1 fast break.
21:39He should capitalize that.
21:41That's where it hurts.
21:44You can't convert on fast break.
21:46You made two free throws.
21:48This is the attack.
21:50It's a foul.
21:51It erases the shot.
21:55Benitez will make his move.
21:57Benitez will make his move.
21:59Offensive foul.
22:02He used his elbow.
22:05On the spin.
22:07A little too much.
22:09From Lance Benitez here.
22:12It's a p-hit.
22:13There.
22:14Octana's elbow jumped.
22:18That's right.
22:19On the spin.
22:21Under a minute left.
22:23In the opening quarter.
22:25Lucero.
22:28Perfect timing for Garcia.
22:33Take away for JRU.
22:35Here it is.
22:36Daryl Garcia.
22:38They swing it to Sean.
22:40Who is still struggling.
22:43For the heavy bombers.
22:45Argente.
22:46Drop off.
22:47On the short stab.
22:48Left it.
22:50Short as well.
22:51Sean.
22:52That one was in and out.
22:53They are two.
22:55Lucero.
22:57With a telegraph.
22:58No B!
23:01Taking that one behind his back.
23:03Before he got fouled.
23:08Showtime.
23:22This has turned out to be.
23:24No B Lucero's playground.
23:27It's fun to watch this guy play.
23:30Very energetic.
23:33Changes the complexion of the game.
23:35Every time he enters.
23:36And a hard nose defender.
23:38You will always get hit by him.
23:40That's right.
23:41If you were a guard.
23:43And then you were facing this guy.
23:46You don't look forward to.
23:48Matching up with him.
23:51You are not excited.
23:53If I were a guard.
23:54What I would do is.
23:55Bring me here to the backcourt.
23:57I will tell my big man.
23:58That's it.
23:59Let's switch.
24:01You take care of that.
24:04You bring the ball.
24:06You take care of that.
24:08Kyle Ochavo coming in for Lucero.
24:11But he has dealt.
24:13The damage already for EAC.
24:16Generals are just down by one.
24:19We saw the speed of the game.
24:21But both teams are struggling in offense.
24:23That's true.
24:24Because they can't shoot.
24:26Benitez.
24:28He already had a shot there.
24:31But he tends to pass it here.
24:34To Panapanaan.
24:36So that will give EAC one more chance.
24:41Before we end the first.
24:43To Kinal.
24:45Kinal leads to him.
24:47Goal.
24:50We have a lot like that.
24:51We have a lot like that.
24:53Watching here in the first quarter.
24:56And after the first ten minutes of action.
24:59JRU leads it.
25:01By a hairline.
25:03Sixteen to fifteen.
25:05We'll go back for the second quarter of this one.
25:07Here in the heart of Asia.
