00:00And Gael Montano can shoot from the outside and the attackers are with him.
00:07Penebrinco with the interception, Escobedo runs, and Rayfart Escobedo will finish on the break.
00:14Being a bull, on the way that he attacks, he's good.
00:19Gabbat off the glass and in.
00:22And Sebastian is off to a great start.
00:25Great start.
00:29No rust at all for this team.
00:37Villegas.
00:39Montano.
00:41Montano drains to the range.
00:44All four points of LPU coming off the hands of Emeric Gael.
00:49Montano changed his mind.
00:51Montano.
00:53Guadagna on the foot back.
00:56Just misfired.
00:59Escobedo zigzagging his way to the basket.
01:03And Suico gets fouled.
01:05Good ball control on Raymart Escobedo.
01:10The guards made a traffic cone.
01:14Going cross, cross, scoop pass.
01:17And Suico at the right spot.
01:21On the most perfect time.
01:23Get that end.
01:25Here's Paek.
01:27Pareng-aren.
01:29He saw Litol.
01:31And that's what you want to see when your big guy is running.
01:35He gets rewarded.
01:37Quick transition basket for Atobarba.
01:42And the steal here.
01:44Wow, he is a bottle of energy.
01:47Versosa is.
01:49Good stop.
01:51I think that was Risho.
01:55And look at this find by Are.
01:58And there, he fell asleep on the bench.
02:02According to him, you need to know the tendencies of the opponent.
02:06How to attack in offense and who should be defended.
02:10On the other side of the stadium, according to team captain CJ Salabrico,
02:13a defensive strategy with strategic positioning might be a good fit for their team.
02:18As a leader, he set out to everything I can to contribute defensively and offensively.
02:23Now, with these two methods in play, I'm sure everyone is eager to know
02:27which method shall prove effective in this basketball tug-of-war.
02:31Let's hear your thoughts, Anton and Coach Hammond.
02:33Well, at this point of the season, as we see this pull-up J by Guadagna.
02:38So that means there will still be two more full weeks of NCAA basketball.
02:43That's on the 15th and the 16th, if I'm not mistaken.
02:47Oh, what a pass.
02:49But, Manelo.
02:51He didn't get a good pass.
02:53He got a ball swing.
02:55Villegas on the drive.
02:57And Renz Villegas finishes at the heart of the defense.
03:00A tough finish by Renz Villegas.
03:03The LPU has built-in blocks.
03:05It's only the second year of Renz Villegas.
03:07Peña Fielo is on his, I think, third year.
03:10And these two guys will be really exciting.
03:15Wow.
03:17From close to free throw line.
03:20You know, Peña Fielo is a bit erratic.
03:27He doesn't know how to play.
03:29He doesn't know how to change gears.
03:31He only has one gear.
03:33Once he gets the hang of it, it's like a new car.
03:36Once he gets it, how will he drive it?
03:38It's hard to watch him because he also has a big wing.
03:41Celebrico.
03:43There's the pass.
03:45The basket is good.
03:47Cruz.
03:57Renz Villegas is really tough.
04:00And then, look at this takeoff.
04:03It's just Gord.
04:05Gord and Villegas will play.
04:10San Sebastian fighting for their lives here.
04:13Baroga.
04:15Extra pass.
04:17Baroga.
04:19Awkward looking shot, but it doesn't matter.
04:21It went in.
04:23It doesn't matter how it looks.
04:25The only thing that matters is if it goes in.
04:34Kaduyak will try to respond.
04:38Oh, Panelo working hard on the boards.
04:41And length for Panelo.
04:45Tapping it to himself.
04:47And then finishing in front of three defenders.
04:52DJ taking the handle.
04:57And Celebrico.
04:59Now that's what you call a strategic decision.
05:03Knowing that Villegas, the much smaller defender, was right in front of him.
05:08This is what Baroga will do.
05:12This is the offensive rebound by Panelo.
05:15There's the snap-touch.
05:17And DJ Celebrico on the other side.
05:21Going downhill.
05:23And then when he saw Villegas in front of him, he knocked him down.
05:29San Sebastian cuts the lead to one.
05:32Reverse.
05:34You know they're looking for a transition look.
05:38Talking about LPU.
05:4010-4.
05:44Baroga throws it out.
05:46Celebrico.
05:48For three.
05:50DJ Celebrico.
05:53And immediately as the shot went down, the whistle was blown.
05:59Pretty finish by Renz Villegas.
06:03There's a push underneath.
06:05To Baroga, who was called in.
06:08You know, Baroga's body is still a bit tense.
06:13He's still reacting when he's being hit.
06:15You shouldn't be offended when you're being hit because you're getting a rebound.
06:18Wow!
06:20Renz Villegas with a rondo.
06:23Or should I say, the Trae Young.
06:25It's the Trae Young.
06:27Now I'll take the rondo any time of the day.
06:29He's the OG.
06:31The OG is Rod Strickland.
06:40To the left.
06:42Baroga again with that jumper.
06:45And Villegas is leaking out.
06:47Catch me if you can.
06:49Three layups here for Villegas.
06:53There's a transition layup by Peña Fiel.
06:57Eight points in the quarter.
06:59Renz Villegas has nine in total.
07:01Celebrico lets it fly.
07:03It's a little bit short.
07:05Balikabola to LVU.
07:07And Gunanan is always looking up ahead.
07:11Simon.
07:13Wow!
07:15Another daredevil drive by Simon Peña Fiel.
07:18This is the weakness of San Sebastian's defense.
07:21If you're a team with a lot of attackers,
07:23there's the CC dash.
07:25Ball fake by Renz Villegas.
07:28And just finishing right at the rim.
07:31Little big heart.
07:34LPU on top by four.
07:36To the left.
07:38Escobedo.
07:41Short from the corner.
07:43Balikabola to LVU.
07:45Villegas from the corner.
07:48And Renz Villegas reaches.
07:50Can they do the small things?
07:53When we see the teams that are co-contending,
07:57it becomes more intense.
07:59Doing the fundamentals way better.
08:01Wow!
08:03Villegas finishing with the left hand.
08:05In traffic.
08:08And that was a two-foot takeoff.
08:11For maximum elevation.
08:14Nico Aguilar.
08:20Velasco.
08:22Pascual.
08:24Oh, good pass.
08:27Baroga.
08:29Wow!
08:31A skip.
08:33One-handed floater by Vince Pascual.
08:35Tough shot.
08:37Gocha Alvergara was laughing at the shot.
08:39It's an awkward-looking shot.
08:41But he was in rhythm.
08:43He gathered his feet for that floater.
08:46Guadagna.
08:48Well, as you said earlier,
08:51as long as it goes in, right?
08:53That's it.
08:55Barba, finally.
08:57There's a signal.
08:59Out of Barba.
09:02Draining it.
09:05Aguilar.
09:07Aguilar creating space.
09:09Nico Aguilar with a floater.
09:11Nico Aguilar had a nice touch
09:14when he was in the shaded area.
09:15And his weight is
09:18an asset when he bumps into
09:21the defenders.
09:23He creates space.
09:29So, Aviles on the other side
09:32gets the basket under him.
09:36Daban.
09:38Wow!
09:40Threw it straight into the hands of Guadagna.
09:42And it gives up an end to it.
09:43Barba wisely
09:45creating contact,
09:47drawing the foul,
09:49and scores off the glass.
09:51Bonus free throw coming right up.
09:53So, off that steal
09:55at Barba.
09:57And Gabat swinging at the ball
09:59instead of just going vertical.
10:01Giving up a three-point play.
10:05San Sebastian's got to make something happen
10:08at this moment.
10:13It looks like Migs is going for a spitty kill.
10:15That's what he's going for.
10:17Migs plus one.
10:19Barba!
10:20How about that?
10:21A step through.
10:23Getting a step through.
10:25Getting swiped at the head.
10:27No problem for Hato Barba
10:29finishing in transition.
10:31Specialty of the house.
10:33Hato Barba is ahead.
10:35And eight.
10:38Aguilar.
10:41Bounce pass.
10:43Rico.
10:44Gabat.
10:46Gabat in and out dribble.
10:47Step back.
10:49Oh, he used
10:51pretty much every move in his back
10:52for that one.
10:53Tough shot.
10:54And good job.
10:55Stop.
10:57Not lifting his pivot foot.
10:58Getting into that step through.
11:00Basic basketball right there
11:02for Paulo Gabat.
11:05Good jump stop step through.
11:07Now going downhill.
11:09Jump stop.
11:10Step through.
11:11Low turn.
11:13Happy birthday, Mel.
11:14Happy birthday.
11:20Barba.
11:22Finishing with the left hand.
11:25It's like he's been fighting for a long time.
11:28That's what Paulo Gabat plays.
11:29Old school basketball.
11:32Attacker.
11:35Finisher drop.
11:39Tapak.
11:41Prince Villegas.
11:42Villegas is ahead.
11:44He's not being watched.
11:46It's already day 7.
11:49Gabat's low ball here.
11:52No where to go.
11:54Emergency pass.
11:57The Pirates

12:00a whopping
