00:00It's Justin Sanchez, Alan Liwag, Oli, Mark Sanko, and Anchetta.
00:07The starters and the bench are big.
00:10The Benil's Blazers' team is really strong.
00:13They have size, and they have the rotation, and the coaching is top-notch.
00:19They're really a title contender.
00:21I'll be back. I already said that in our Battle for 3rd.
00:25We did that game.
00:27This squad will be stronger than what they had last season.
00:33That's the way it's looking in terms of the team standings right now.
00:39I remember last season, because the expectations were so high for the season 99 Benil Blazers.
00:46We kept waiting and waiting and waiting for them to turn it up.
00:52And it never happened, unfortunately.
00:54This is a better pecking order.
00:56They have more conventional guards leading.
00:59Because Roby Naive is a combo guard.
01:01Prince Carlos was a combo guard, compared to JC Collier and Jimboy Pasturan, who were really facilitators.
01:09And it's not enough for Prince and Roby.
01:12We mentioned Prince earlier on the broadcast team.
01:17But again, it's a different kind of Benil team right now.
01:20The pieces seem to fit better.
01:50Sanchez, in his actual listed size, likes to compete.
01:53And he's very physical and tough.
01:56Without being dirty.
02:00Sanchez, with a rip through.
02:03Alan Liwag, trying to get that offensive rebound.
02:07But MJ Arrebuto gets to it first.
02:11And this squad is very young.
02:12Coach Luis Gonzalez is 5 years old.
02:16Four of them are first-year players, if I'm not mistaken.
02:21Pakilina.
02:24Floats it up. Sanko with a board.
02:26Balikambola to Benil.
02:29Sanko zigzagging his way to the basket.
02:31Oh, too strong off the glass.
02:33Alan Liwag was there and he was fouled.
02:36This is the difference with Alan Liwag.
02:38Alan Liwag, on that right block, you have to feed him.
02:42But as we see this pass by MJ Arrebuto.
02:47But his habit is to crash the boards.
02:49A lot of his points either post up on the right block
02:52or he crashes the boards.
02:54So that's a big thing because you don't need to
02:56keep holding the ball.
02:58His habit is to be a rebounding guy.
03:02So it frees up a lot of touches for Justin Sanchez
03:05and Tony Inot who is very good when they have the ball on their hands.
03:10And I guess that's the balance and unpredictability that you need.
03:15Because as Paul Belga said, he's been stressing it.
03:18There are only a few players, three to be exact,
03:21who are really post up guys.
03:23Kapulong, Liwag, and Bismarck Lina.
03:27So that's the expectation.
03:29But if Liwag can give players like Sanchez and Sanko
03:33the space to operate in post up,
03:34it's going to be more hard for defenses to defend them.
03:38Exactly.
03:40And because Allen Liwag knows how to pass,
03:43it's a different kind of animal when you know how to hit the open, guys.
03:48Alright, let's get our first report from MG Balidad.
03:51Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head?
03:55Since it's been 10 to 16 years of CSP winning against GRU,
03:59coach Charles Chu said that every time we face the heavy bombers,
04:02it is really a tough game because they make us earn for everything.
04:06And every time it is really a difficult game,
04:09but regardless of the team, we always play hard
04:11because we value every game.
04:13For them, aside from playing hard, height advantage is one of the key factors in their success.
04:17Meanwhile, for coach Ruby Gonzalez,
04:19after one game suspension,
04:21facing CSP Blazers for the second time this season 100,
04:24they just want to play loose, have fun,
04:26and treat their previous mistakes as a new learning.
04:28And the heavy bombers will not be quiet
04:31because what they bring on the court is their hustle
04:33and strong connection on the team.
04:35Also an update, five players are not playing today.
04:37Four from JRU, Benitez and Medina,
04:39who's suffering from a left ankle sprain.
04:41Garcia because of allergies, and Ramos for having a fever.
04:44And Tony Enon from CSP Blazers still hasn't recovered from his left ankle sprain.
04:49Will the CSP Blazers extend their winning streak?
04:53Or will the JRU heavy bombers rise for redemption?
04:56What do you think, coach?
04:58So a lot of players injured.
05:01I think the two biggest names there, Jonathan Medina and Tony Enon.
05:04Yup.
05:07They both have a left ankle issue.
05:11Ollie drains the triple.
05:14And this guy is a guy that I would like on my team.
05:19He plays very good defense.
05:21He's a silent operator, but you know that he knows his spots.
05:25He knows what to take away from the guys that he is defending.
05:30And he's a high IQ guy.
05:32He knows how to do things the right way.
05:36And Ollie has started four games prior to this one.
05:41Four out of Benilde's nine games.
05:47And there you go, Tony Enon on the side, nursing that left ankle injury.
05:51So hopefully he gets back soon because it's more exciting to watch the NCAA.
05:59We'll take a break.
06:01JRU just called a timeout.
06:03They are up by three against Benilde.
06:10These guys are the smallest players on the floor.
06:14But they thrive in the pit, in the land of the giants.
06:17And one of the reasons for us to say that is because they have the biggest heart.
06:22And that's what really matters.
06:24Now, San Pedro is coming off a loss.
06:28I have a feeling that they're not that big.
06:31But that's where you'll see that this is their last game combined.
06:40I never thought I would describe a Joshua Gia move like what we just saw moments ago.
06:46But that was a graceful layup, smooth layup.
06:51But Joshua Gia is a little bit undersized.
06:55No, he is undersized at 6'2".
06:57On a good day, in shoes.
07:00But he just knows how to play.
07:02That's a big thing because usually the size matters.
07:07But shot making, if you have soft hands, if you can anchor your feet,
07:12if you can move and find creases in the defense, you can play in the paint.
07:16But moving forward with his career, he needs to be able to, of course,
07:20handle perimeter players, defending, serviceable rebounder.
07:24His body is strong, so he can anchor himself in the shaded area.
07:30That's Team Harang.
07:32But we can see him now, Coach, him expanding his game.
07:36He's developed a three-point shot as well.
07:40He's taken several attempts already.
07:42That's a switch that they want.
07:44Para-paraan.
07:46And he steps on the baseline.
07:48He didn't just do paraan, the kick-out, but good crash boards on Ivan Panapanaan.
07:55And the key here for JRU is how will they sustain this?
07:59A solid start for them.
08:01Not the best, but a solid start competing here.
08:05Ancheta.
08:07Liwag back to Ancheta.
08:11Liwag back to Ancheta.
08:14Jomel Ancheta drives, blocked.
08:17Gia Bambola, Argente, whips the pass.
08:20Good pass.
08:21Paquilina, good patience.
08:24This is Paquilina and Lozano, long athletic wings.
08:32They know how to play.
08:34And the kids, they just need time to percolate in that system.
08:37And JRU lost a lot in the endgame.
08:39This year, the tickets.
08:41And then I lost in the end last three minutes.
08:45Sanchez.
08:48Oli.
08:49Back to Sanchez.
08:51That's a play by Matthew Oli, crashing the boards.
08:54And being a little bit faster than his opponents in getting that 50-50 ball.
09:01Because this kid has it.
09:05Has the moves for the ball.
09:09Gia, pinasa dito sa canto.
09:12Argente, just a little bit short.
09:15And that's a good box out by Oli.
09:18He knows how to play.
09:21Playing the right way.
09:23Here's the pass by Sean Argente.
09:26Threading the needle with that pass.
09:28And some hands by Paquilina.
09:35Just in for Lozano.
09:39Eusebio has checked in.
09:41Benil down by three.
09:42Torres is also in the game as well.
09:48Masyado mababa yung pasa.
09:51Now Liwag wants to post.
09:53Throws it back out.
09:55Ian Torres.
09:57Instant offense from the bench.
09:59Good extra speed on the top of the key.
10:02Enough friction para ma-delay yung tao ni Ian Torres.
10:07So first deadlock natin in the game, Anton.
10:09At nine all.
10:13Paquilina.
10:14Sanchez.
10:16Standing in front of him and the rim.
10:19Paquilina, inside pass para kay Gia.
10:21Napitawan ang bola.
10:23And look at the big man.
10:24Handle the ball.
10:25Eusebio on the drive.
10:26Anton Eusebio.
10:28Count the basket plus the foul.
10:30Hard drive by Anton Eusebio.
10:32Great forward pass there.
10:34But again, yung defense same Benil.
10:36Just shrinking and clogging the lanes.
10:38And Anton Eusebio taking the contact and finishing.
10:41Right on top of that defender.
10:44So we've seen a couple of highlight dunks already from Anton Eusebio.
10:49But what we are waiting for is that breakout performance.
10:53Well, he has been solid the whole year.
10:56He's been providing a lot of depth para dito sa komponente JRU.
11:00Komponente St. Daniel Blazers rather.
11:03Dahil, he has size.
11:05He's 6'4". He's listed 6'5".
11:07Eto si Anton Eusebio.
11:08He has a combo forward.
11:14Paquilina waking up.
11:16Feeling dangerous.
11:18He's got eight points in the game.
11:20JRU on top by one.
11:27Mapua Cardinals now with 4-2 win-loss standing after their bounce-back win
11:35against the San Sebastian Golden Stags 91-72.
11:40What a great game mula rito sa Mapua Cardinals.
11:42Talagang minama mula umpisa hanggang dulo.
11:45And it's because of their one of the best players this game sa laban na to.
11:51Napangarami.
11:53Ito nga si Bancale.
11:56But one guy is for...
11:58It's like they're having a good time.
12:01Coach Dax Castellano and Sir Paul Supan, best buddies.
12:05I love to see it.
12:08From Benil and JRU respectively.
12:11Stockton Tumalun, Ernie and Bert.
12:17Coach Paul and Coach Dax together.
12:23Alright, let's take a look at this last play right here.
12:25Eight points for Pangilinan.
12:27Sumabit sa pin-down si Matthew Oli.
12:29Yung kinawa niyo sa kabila, setting an extra screen.
12:32Yun yung sumabit siya, extra screen by Panapanaan off that pin-down action.
12:38Good shot. Good looping. Ganda ng pitaw nito.
12:42Pangilinan tsaka Aki.
12:44Ayun, sabay pa sila ni Lozano.
12:47Oh, Lozano is...
12:50He's got scary athleticism.
12:54And length as well.
12:55Eusebio.
12:58Finishes the play. Good set-up job by Sanchez.
13:01More than the highlights, this is what we want to see from Antonio Eusebio.
13:04Production off the bench or production as a 3-4 guy.
13:07And just putting a lot more pressure sa second group ng mga kalaban or on the starters of their opponents.
13:16Lozano.
13:17Bounce pass Eusebio with a steal, but the whistle was blown.
13:21Nakahawak yung right hand ni Justin sa hip.
13:25Pero ito, a little give and go.
13:27It's just good pass here and great court sense by Antonio Eusebio.
13:33Just going downhill, waiting for that drop pass.
13:37Kasi instinct ni Justin is to go right. Strong right.
13:39Very strong right rather ni Justin Sanchez.
13:42Especially pag may pwelo.
13:45They just get in with the depth and talent.
13:49You get an energy guy out, somebody else in.
13:54So eto, kakapi to ni Ian Torres, si Roger Ondoa.
13:59So they won a championship together.
14:02Tatlian atsaka yung bago nilang big man na nasa team ni nila.
14:09Oh, Alan Liwak with a finish.
14:12There go pocket passing again.
14:14Alan Liwak's favorite calling card.
14:16Ball screen action.
14:17Get a pocket pass on the elbow.
14:19Isang saw-saw.
14:20Finishing up top.
14:22So etong apat na to.
14:25Eusebio, Torres, Ondoa, and Liwak.
14:28They were part of the recruitment class.
14:30As we see our hand, the three.
14:33The three.
14:34So next year, pwede na yon.
14:36Si Gaspay, yun yung big man nila sa ICC.
14:40Nakasama na rin nila ngayon sa Binil.
14:42Spent a year in TAF, but on the opposite end of TAF.
14:47Ian Torres, double crossover, pulling up for the three.
14:51So next year, meron din silang Sean Umali.
14:54Sean Umali, Gaspay, S.J. Moore, Afiseles, si Daha yung shooter.
15:01So malalim din yung recruitment class nitong Binil Blazers.
15:07Ondoa.
15:10Roger.
15:12Ingat, ingat.
15:13Roger Ondoa goes all the way.
15:17Eto namang player na ito, go hard lang talaga.
15:20You love hearing his story, and you even love more the way he plays.
15:27Talagang diin kong diin.
15:32Alan Liwak hindi parang papalingan dito, coach.
15:35Ayun, papalingan na.
15:36All tour ko.
15:38Getting cold.
15:40Ayun.
15:44Eto naman yung binila kanina ni Sean Argente.
15:48But the double crossover by Ian Torres.
15:54Ondoa with the steal.
15:58Torres.
16:03Turpo providing the screen.
16:06Torres likes this matchup.
16:08Torres line drive.
16:10In and out.
16:11Sarmiento with the board.
16:18Argente.
16:19A ataque.
16:20Argente.
16:21Wow.
16:23It's a problem with the closeout right there.
16:25Good recognition on that kick out pass by Josh Muguia.
16:28Going downhill with Sean Argente.
16:34Torres waves off Eusebio.
16:37Reject.
16:38Puro reject screen to.
16:40Dalawang sunod na ito na possessions.
16:43And Argente gives up the foul.
16:45He still has two more fouls to give.
16:51Two free throws.
16:53Oh wow.
16:55Wait.
16:56Two free throws ba?
16:58Wow.
17:00Wow.
17:01So Torres wisely.
17:03Putting up the shot.
17:05Sean is saying no he did not.
17:08See the foul was.
17:10Yeah it looked like it was on the floor.
17:12Presence of mind.
17:13Kasi nakita nga nila ng JRU na meron pa silang isang foul to give.
17:16Yeah.
17:21Ayan o.
17:22Ito yung foul anton.
17:23The foul was sa baba.
17:25Ayan o.
17:26May extra steps ba kasi bago tumira.
17:27But again.
17:28That was the fourth team foul.
17:29Ganina nakita ko three team fouls each.
17:32That's what I saw too.
17:34Kaya sila pumawal kasi may isa pa silang foul to give.
17:37So we're not yet in the penalty.
17:39Pero nakasulat dun sa taas natin biglang na lima na yung fouls nila.
17:48Well that's how the first quarter ends.
17:51The Benil Blazers.
17:53Hunting for another win.
17:55Win number 10 to be exact.
17:57They need JRU.
17:5921 to 17.
