00:00He's got the headband on, you look here, and that's the shot from the same spot where he hit the game winner.
00:09First shot of Mabuha, they go right to where they took their last shot before the dust break.
00:16The start of the game, Perpetual is already in the zone. Usually, teams do a man-to-man at the start of the game.
00:21But in their game plan, they're already in the zone.
00:24They're already in the zone.
00:26It's over.
00:37And that's the spot where Escamiz hit the clutch 3-pointer in the first round meeting.
00:46So there's still the outside touch of Clint Escamiz from the sweet spot.
00:54Good D for Rubilla, pumping body.
00:56Abis is really challenging him.
00:59Pizarro.
01:01He's loading it up.
01:04That's a big connection, Pizarro and Abis.
01:11Igneanin gets it to Escamiz.
01:13They switched to man-to-man, so they're only in the zone in the first possession.
01:16They're in the zone.
01:20You noticed Coach Olsen-Rosella's defensive strategy right away.
01:25And there we see the matchup of the coaches, Coach Olsen-Rosella and Coach Randy Alcantara.
01:33Coach Olsen, his first season here in the NCAA as the head coach of Perpetual.
01:38Coach Randy in his fifth season as the head coach of the Mabuha Cardinals.
01:43Let's get the first report now from Erin T.
01:49Success comes from a blend of hard work and knowing when to recharge.
01:53In line with this, both the Cardinals and the Altas have made the most out of their own dust break.
01:58Although they've lost time for their families, they've also lost time for their trainings and practices.
02:05In line with the Altas, Mark Gohok Cruz said that they want to make up for their losses when it comes to crashing the board and securing their rebounds.
02:13That's why they practiced a lot last November 1 and 2.
02:17In line with the Cardinals, they also continued their strength and conditioning training to be at their peak performance as we get closer to the playoffs.
02:25Because they understand that every game is crucial for building momentum and confidence.
02:29Both teams hope that their hard work during the on-dust break will pay off.
02:33How about you, Anton and Prince? How was your on-dust break?
02:37Well, I'll throw the question to you first. Busy boy, Prince.
02:42Well, I took a break. I took care of the on-dust break.
02:45It was fun!
02:46Actually, I just got back.
02:47Wow!
02:49That must have been really fun and relaxing.
02:51But of course, for these NCAA teams, there should be no break there.
02:55The elimination round is not yet over.
02:58So, they still need to continue their training, especially during on-dust break.
03:02As reported by Eric, they still need to continue their strength and conditioning.
03:08There's no break there.
03:10I thought that during the off-season, the strength and conditioning was only during on-dust break.
03:18They still have to be in shape.
03:20That's what I miss when I was still playing.
03:24Even during the holidays and breaks, there's no break.
03:27It's all about training.
03:29Hashtag, no days off. Hashtag, ball is life.
03:36Jovilia.
03:38Jovilia scores off the glass.
03:42Bright future for this guy, Chris Jovilia.
03:45Imagine, he's still a rookie.
03:47But he's playing like a senior player.
03:51This player is strong.
03:54But you know, Jovilia is not an ordinary rookie.
03:58Because he actually sat out one year.
04:01So, he played his last high school year in Season 98.
04:08He did not play his first collegiate year in Season 99.
04:12So, he's been resting and waiting for one year.
04:16So, he's not an ordinary rookie.
04:19I'm sure during that one year of not playing, he really gave it his all for this season.
04:24Because you can see his performance.
04:29He's one of those guys, Prince, when he was young, he played like a mom.
04:36I feel like he's still in grade school.
04:39Some guys are just born like that.
04:41Clint Escamiz, short on that three.
04:44First miss for Clint Escamiz.
04:47Manuel Axel.
04:48Wow!
04:49Oh!
04:50Just rattled out.
04:53Pizarro.
04:54Oh, look at the defense of Escamiz, denying FGC.
04:58He's challenging the rookie.
04:59Oh, wide open, Pizarro.
05:01Oh, Pizarro took the push.
05:06To Jovilia.
05:09Drop step.
05:10Oh, my goodness.
05:12That was a grown man move by Chris Jovilia.
05:17When Jovilia took the push, he was able to protect the ball.
05:22Yes.
05:25Boral against Concepcion.
05:27Abis from the elbow.
05:29Igliani, good box out.
05:34Escamiz, speed move, post up.
05:37King out to Chris, set up first to Lawrence.
05:40Game for Igliani and Mangubas.
05:43Let's see what they will do.
05:45Good.
05:47Escamiz, three for three.
05:50Come out and all.
05:51Clint Escamiz was just waiting for the shot.
05:55He said, oh, open.
05:56He's just having fun with it.
05:58He's just enjoying playing.
06:00And JP Boral flexes after scoring underneath.
06:05We have a timeout.
06:06Flexes after scoring underneath.
06:09We have a timeout.
06:10Papua is up by one.
06:17Carlos Yulo is well-known for his double gold in Paris.
06:21But did you know that there was a former Carlos who played in the Olympics and became NCAA?
06:27He is none other than Carlos Caloy Loizaga,
06:30who was the champion of the San Pedro Red Lions three times in the 1950s.
06:34Loizaga played twice in the Olympics,
06:37as well as the Asian Games, FIBA Asia and FIBA World Championships,
06:41where he won many medals.
07:05You're watching this matchup between Papua and Perpetual,
07:09a tightly contested game.
07:11Just one point separating the two teams.
07:13And we say hello to Mr. Frank Gusi,
07:16Mancom rep from UPHSD.
07:34Full-court press now for Perpetual.
07:362-2-1.
07:37And it worked for them.
07:38Turnover now for Papua.
07:54Boral.
07:55He can hit that.
07:57In and out.
07:59Perpetual still has the ball.
08:00Pagaran is now on the floor.
08:03Goho Cruz.
08:06Wow.
08:07Challenging the veteran, Cuenco.
08:10Goho Cruz has a big heart.
08:13We can see that he's not that big,
08:15but his mindset is still the same as Cuenco's.
08:23Oh.
08:27Wow.
08:28But all pets are found here.
08:31Moving screen there.
08:35Good sell too.
08:40So JC Recto is now in.
08:42Jabonete is also in.
08:44This is Mark Goho Cruz.
08:45He has a bigger role now,
08:46especially out for the season.
08:48He's Sean Orgo.
08:49He's Coach Olsen's main point guard.
08:53At the start of the season,
08:54we can see Goho Cruz's capability as a scorer.
08:57But his main point guard is different.
08:59The pressure is on you.
09:01You need to be the extension of the court.
09:03So it's a big challenge for these rookies.
09:07Good rebound.
09:08Snatched by Recto.
09:11Hubilia.
09:12Downhill.
09:13And Hubilia draws a foul.
09:16It's hard to stop Hubilia once he gets a foul.
09:21And look at this.
09:23Backed out all the way.
09:25Wow.
09:26And then creating space.
09:28Mark Goho Cruz.
09:39Hubilia is really different.
09:41Especially when he gets ahead of steam.
09:44He feels like he can run through a brick wall.
09:48And he knows he's stronger than a lot of guys.
09:50So he's using his power.
09:59Goho Cruz.
10:01Goho Cruz.
10:04Goho Cruz.
10:07Goho Cruz.
10:11Confusion.
10:13Goho Cruz.
10:15Goho Cruz.
10:18Goho Cruz.
10:20Not quite sure what the discussion is centered on here.
10:26Let's see.
10:35Alright, so he clearly got Hubilia on the arm.
10:40He initially got the ball.
10:42But his hand was too tight and it hit his arm.
10:46That was a good call by the ref.
10:50He thought Hubilia made the first one.
10:56One for two.
10:58One for two for Crecio Billa.
11:02And now Concepcion
11:04returns to the game.
11:05I like this guy.
11:06Concepcion, very aggressive when it comes to rebounding.
11:10Especially when it comes to offensive rebounding.
11:13So if you're prepared well,
11:15Concepcion should be able to box him out.
11:21And now,
11:22It's just a concept show to box him out.
11:28Montemayor.
11:31More traction.
11:33Oh! A steal by Recto.
11:363 on 1.
11:38Escamiz. Oh!
11:42Could have been an end one.
11:44But a trip to the free throw line for Clint Escamiz.
11:48Number 14, John Evans.
11:51He's strong.
11:54Here's the rebound for Clint Escamiz.
12:05Oh!
12:09Clint Escamiz missing on the first free throw.
12:19Clint is a 73.1% free throw shooter.
12:26And he's good on the second.
12:32Bankale in for Clint Escamiz.
12:37Another score for Mapu, this Bankale.
12:49Oh! Good backdoor there.
12:52They didn't see the pass.
12:54Tunez.
12:56Strong old team.
12:58Good team for Mapua.
13:03J.C. Recto has been intercepting a lot of those entry passes.
13:07We'll take a break. Mapua is still up by one.
13:09The moment sa puso mo, the sky is the limit.
13:15Ang unang pumapasok sa isipan pag NCAA ang napag-uusapan ay basketball.
13:21Pero kahit sa ibang larangan ng palakasan, lalaban pa rin ang NCAA.
13:25Tignan nyo ang tubong Mapua na si Chess Grandmaster Eugene Torre na isa na ang Hall of Famer.
13:31Ang taga College of St. Benilde na Season 92 Men's Volleyball Champion at MVP
13:36na si John Vic de Guzman na nakapagkamit ng silver medal sa seeding.
13:40We have on hand from San Bernardino University, attorney Jonas Cabuchan.
14:09And com rep.
14:11Sitting right beside Sir Frank.
14:15Three minutes to go here in the first.
14:18So far on Tunez, wala pang lumalayo. As in very tight game tayo ngayon so far.
14:22Tignan natin kung may lalayong team dito.
14:25Perpetual applying a 2-2-1 again.
14:28It worked for time last time, so tignan natin kung paano ngayon.
14:32Di basta-basta ibibigay ng Perpetual ko sa Mapua.
14:36And feeling ko magkailangan talaga nitong panalo na to.
14:39Since they're down sa Final Four and they need to reach that Final Four.
14:43As you see Concepcion, strong finish for him.
14:48You know if there is a player that improved the most, Concepcion's gotta be one of them.
14:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:57And as I said earlier, grabbing and rebounding, very aggressive on the board.
15:00Although this is his first season with Mapua, but he has improved in-season.
15:07Especially when JC Recto got hurt.
15:11Lahat na binutol ni Recto, napunta kay Yam.
15:14And if you're Mapua, you gotta be thankful for that na nag-step up itong si Concepcion.
15:20Lalo na hindi masyadong nakapag-perform ngayon si Recto this season.
15:24But I believe compared to last season, scoring-wise, parang bumaba yung team.
15:28Scoring-wise, parang bumaba yung scoring average ni Recto ngayon eh.
15:33But despite that, nasa ko-contribute pa rin si Recto.
15:36His rebounds, his steals, but yung points lang talaga yung medyo bumaba siya ngayon.
15:47Wild pass by Cuenco.
15:49Recto's open.
15:51Concepcion from the corner.
15:55And Manuel comes up with the rebound.
15:59Pakaran.
16:01Helsano.
16:03Floater, masyadong malakas.
16:05And Helsano snatches the ball away from JC Recto.
16:09Low foul call there.
16:12Good defense by Cuenco.
16:14Duñez.
16:16Under-goal stop.
16:18Duñez, no.
16:20Nakulangan sa Pechug.
16:22Pakaran.
16:24Wala pa rin.
16:25And Recto gathers the rebound.
16:28Papua running.
16:30They don't have the numbers here.
16:36Recto's that type of player who's a pig.
16:40Playing a big-man position, but likes to dribble the ball and go coast-to-coast.
16:45He likes to run.
16:46And he's a big-hook and ISO rin.
16:49Hindi siya more of a post-up player.
16:51More of a slasher type of pig.
16:56Yeah, I remember in the finals last year, he was very aggressive against Zanveda.
17:01Ball dominant din to si JC Recto.
17:03Iwan sa kanya yung bola.
17:05Tendency pwede siya mag-clear out.
17:07Get that ISO.
17:09And blow by his defenders.
17:12Wild pass by Cuenco.
17:14Pretty much the entire bench of Papua stood up.
17:17As soon as Cuenco received that pass.
17:19And you can't leave him wide open.
17:21He's the shooter.
17:26So in a way, with the emergence of Yam Concepcion,
17:30the improvement of Cuenco,
17:32and with the return of JC Recto,
17:35pwede na kaya?
17:37Pwede na kaya.
17:39Pwede na kaya.
17:41Pwede na kaya.
17:43Hindi na natin sabihin na mas lumaanin bang itong Papua rotation.
17:47Actually, kasi yung mga rookies nila,
17:49garabe yung rookies nila.
17:51Lahat nalaga nag-contribute.
17:53Lahat malaking bagay sa team.
17:55Even Mamuga.
17:57Pakaras!
17:59You told us that kanina.
18:02Kanyana pa siya nagbabackdoor.
18:04Lagi siya naku-open.
18:06Pero hindi lang siya nakikita.
18:08Luckily in that play, nakita nila siya doon sa backdoor play niya.
18:137.1 seconds remaining here in the 1st, and Mapua obviously wants to add to the lead.
18:42To this point total, that's why Mangubat and Clint are now in.
18:47Yeah, last shot opportunity for Mapua, let's see what's gonna happen here.
18:52Mangubat, all the way, Mangubat, oh, but that's, Medyo out of control si Mangubat dun.
19:06Manoel has to heave this one, and that will do it for the 1st quarter, coach Olsen Arcella
19:16and his perpetual altas fighting for their final 4 lives, but Mapua ends the 1st with
19:24a 4 point lead 16-12.
