00:00by Crew Chief Jonard Garcia, also a FIBA International referee.
00:06Now, Apuso, second game on a Wednesday.
00:10We are nearing the finish line here in the Elimination Round.
00:14A crucial encounter between Benilde and Zanbetta right here on GTV.
00:21It is Puno and Liwag jumping it up.
00:27Here we go.
00:30Ball is up and the game is underway.
00:34First tap goes to us.
00:37Yes, Martin. It looks like they want to take us out of the game.
00:40We are ready. Prince is ready.
00:43Yes, we are ready.
00:44I even practiced earlier.
00:46Speaking of practice, Coach Jamaic is watching right now.
00:49Is he?
00:50Yes.
00:51A former Zanbetta head coach, Coach Jamaic Karin.
00:54Meantime, first possession for the Red Lions.
00:58Let's see how they will bounce back after that tough loss against Letran.
01:03They feed Yukian, turns around and hits his first shot.
01:08Martin, I like this match-up that Zanbetta is giving for the Benilde Blazers.
01:13Eusebio's match-up and Yukian's match-up is good.
01:17They have the same build and athleticism.
01:21That's right.
01:22Prince will watch out for the pace in this game
01:25because Zanbetta is actually holding down their opponents to just 65 points,
01:30which is the best in the league.
01:31Meantime, Benilde as Liwag scores off the glass.
01:34Benilde is one of the highest scoring teams at just about 80 points per game.
01:39So, let's watch out for the pace in this match-up.
01:41Yes, and we know that Benilde's scoring is high,
01:44but most of those points will come from the paint.
01:47Because we know what Alen Liwag is contributing to the inside.
01:51He is widening the court for his teammates.
01:55Andrada misses. Sanchez with a look-away pass.
01:59Eusebio couldn't finish, but there was a whistle.
02:03Alright, let's use this opportunity to go courtside for the first time.
02:06And here's Gleisel Galco. Gleisel.
02:09Being composed means maturity.
02:11Coach Yuri Escueta reminded us of the Red Lions
02:14after falling into the hands of the Leblanc Knights in their last game.
02:18And this same composure is also what Jommel Puno wishes he had more of
02:23during that rivalry match.
02:25Because this is what they were aiming for to cut down the turnovers they committed.
02:29Meanwhile, for captain Lion Yukian Andrada,
02:32this maturity shows in being accountable and acknowledging
02:35that he should have made wiser decisions,
02:37admitting that he should have went inside the game
02:40instead of forcing three-pointers, which were not going in.
02:44Ultimately, this is a crucial one for the Red Lions
02:46because, as far as I know, this is important for their confidence and morale
02:50going into the playoffs.
02:52A bunch of Lions are on a hunt today, Martin and Prince.
02:55Thank you, Gleisel.
02:56Interesting insights from the Red Lions
03:00looking back at their game against Letran.
03:03What they wish they could have done differently,
03:06but everything happens for a reason, Prince.
03:10That was a big, big, big lesson of a game for them.
03:15As we see, Jommel Anceta.
03:17Looks like I can include Jommel Anceta on the list of our point guards here at NCAA.
03:23He was able to lower the ball.
03:25He was able to catch it.
03:28This is Jommel Anceta.
03:30Awesome confidence.
03:31Very deceiving as well as Gonzalez.
03:34Turns around.
03:36And escapes right there.
03:38Martin, this is a different look for San Veda.
03:40They already have four points,
03:42but they're still trying to shoot outside.
03:44Knowing San Veda, most of their shots will come from outside.
03:48That's what they're looking for.
03:49But this time, they're taking the game inside.
03:52Eusebio fumbles the shot.
03:55And here's Nigel Gonzalez.
03:57Pocket pass to Celso.
03:59Celso found himself inside.
04:01But Yukian lost it.
04:03Here comes Jommel Anceta.
04:07Sanchez will wait, will spray.
04:09Ollie.
04:10Open fire.
04:11Nothing there.
04:13And a foul from behind.
04:15This is going to be on Joe Celso.
04:18Martin, San Veda's big men are really hard to work with.
04:23The score is 4-4 with 7 minutes and 21 seconds left.
04:27Celso already has two fouls.
04:30Imagine if Coach Yuri had to replace a big man this early.
04:34Here's what we're waiting for.
04:36At the scorer's table right now.
04:38Bismarck Lina will check in to our next dead ball.
04:43Ollie.
04:44Liwak from mid-range.
04:45Liwak drops it in.
04:48Just another day for Allen Liwak.
04:50He's looking for his shots.
04:52It's just the beginning of the game.
04:53He already has an attack and a hollow-off.
04:56He also has a pull-up jumper.
04:58But he went home.
05:01Celso scores with the left hand.
05:03It's like he wants to tell Coach Yuri,
05:05Wait a minute.
05:06Give me another chance.
05:08I'll go out first.
05:09Yes, you should go out first.
05:24What can you say about Sanchez-Puno matchup?
05:28They're both athletic.
05:29They're both flexible.
05:31They're both good at dribbling.
05:32They're also a bit high-percentage on the outside.
05:33They're also familiar with each other.
05:35Andrada drains.
05:38Sandera's first dribble today.
05:40I think I said something wrong, Martin.
05:42When I said that they're looking for points on the inside,
05:44Yuki heard me and he shot right away.
05:47And Sanchez-Liwak missed it.
05:51Sanchez-Liwak, another one.
05:54Short this time.
05:55And here comes Jomel Puno.
05:57After getting the rebound, brings the ball down.
05:59They go to Nigel Gonzalez.
06:02Nguyen from the left side.
06:05Let me check.
06:06Is it still hot?
06:08It's still okay.
06:09Ancheta, zooming to the cup.
06:12He's got four points here in the first.
06:158-8, early lead for the Red Lions.
06:25Carlos Yulo is well-known for his double goal in Paris.
06:29But did you know that there was an ex-Carlos who played in the Olympics
06:33and won the NCAA?
06:35He's none other than Carlos Caloy Loizaga
06:38who won the San Beda Red Lions three times in the 1950s.
06:43Loizaga played twice in the Olympics,
06:45as well as the Asian Games,
06:47FIBA Asia,
06:48and FIBA World Championships
06:49where he won many medals.
06:59We can do this!
07:01Own the future!
07:08Baliksanding laban.
07:10San Beda versus Benilde.
07:12And the captain of the Red Lions, Yukie Andrada, with five points already.
07:18One moment turnaround jumper,
07:20and another from long distance.
07:23Yes, and it's hot.
07:24Yukie is already hot.
07:26She's aggressive at the start of the game.
07:28And it's the same for Allen Liwag.
07:30He's warming up at the start.
07:33He's making the opponent feel their presence.
07:37Especially Yukie.
07:38She came from a bad game.
07:40She was a bit under the weather in the last game.
07:43And we know that Allen Liwag is consistent.
07:47His double-double,
07:49like when he wakes up in the morning,
07:51with a toothbrush,
07:52he's just like that.
07:53He's eating.
07:54Yes, he's eating.
07:55Is this a double-double?
07:58And one of the frontrunners in the MVP is Allen Liwag.
08:03Allen Liwag will be guarded now by Lina.
08:07But Bismarck is already a musician.
08:09Bismarck and Lina,
08:11taking that to Liwag right away.
08:13That was a beautiful play by Kocha.
08:16They set up the way to the three points.
08:19We know that Penny Estacio has a shot outside.
08:24Allen Liwag has no choice but to show for a bit.
08:28Giving Bismarck Lina the mismatch underneath
08:31and got the fake up
08:33to set up the foul to Allen Liwag.
08:35It's important that Allen takes care of his fouls
08:38because he's needed in this game.
08:42This is a behemoth of a man.
08:46This is Bismarck Lina.
08:47Beast.
08:48We're looking at him.
08:49Beastmark.
08:50Beastmark Lina.
08:52Look at him.
08:53Very hard to handle.
08:55Rattles home the second one.
08:58Lately, he showed us
09:00that he also has a soft touch on the perimeter.
09:04That's what happened in their game against Netran.
09:06And San Beda's pressure paying off right away.
09:09Martin, do you remember San Beda versus EAC?
09:12They just started the game,
09:14and they got a fake up.
09:16Ah, yeah.
09:19That set the tone for that dim.
09:32And they also did this against Netran.
09:41Here's the trigger.
09:43Penny Estacio now in the ballgame.
09:46Penny sends it out.
09:47Yukien!
09:49Oh!
09:50Second triple down and good for Yukien Andrada.
09:53That was so far from the parking lot.
09:578 points for Yukien.
09:59Cometa nails it from the free throw line.
10:02That was a great challenge for Cometa,
10:04but it still went in.
10:06Former Red Lion, Gab Cometa.
10:09Yeah, that's what's great about watching
10:12when you're up against your former team,
10:14your former school.
10:15Because for some reason,
10:17maybe unconsciously,
10:19you have something you want to prove.
10:21Right?
10:22That's three.
10:24Ino, Sanchez, and Cometa,
10:28who are all on the floor right now.
10:31Liwa, meanwhile, corrals it.
10:35Sanchez!
10:36Sanchez attacks!
10:37Sanchez!
10:39At the rim already.
10:41And the ball will be picked up by Paiyosing.
10:43But I like how aggressive Sanchez is.
10:45He sets up the opponent early.
10:49He really attacks to the inside
10:51so he can get Cometa's defense.
10:54Cleanup inside for Bismarck Lina.
10:57The beast, Bismarck Lina.
10:59And he's already making a difference
11:01for San Beto here.
11:0315-10.
11:05Bismarck's legs are a bit fresher.
11:07Yes, because he's just going in.
11:10Tony Inod, back to Cometa on the outside.
11:12Liwa, shortstop.
11:14Money for Adel Liwa.
11:18That's a matic.
11:19It's like he's just dancing.
11:21Yes, he said he was given the ball
11:23inside the paint.
11:24He said, this is mine.
11:26This is my game.
11:28Bismarck Lina.
11:32Kenny Estacio fades away.
11:34Couldn't hit.
11:35Ball is tapped to Tony Inod.
11:37And Inod starts the break.
11:39Tony, yes!
11:43Scoring in transition, Tony Inod.
11:47Benil getting their groove.
11:49Here's Tony Inod.
11:53And we said earlier that
11:55they were setting up the pace
11:57for Benil.
11:59But the truth is,
12:01Benil can keep up.
12:03He can either run the pace
12:05or be a bit slow.
12:07They both have something.
12:09Justin Sanchez finishes
12:11the fast break.
12:13Passed the foul.
12:15And a free throw coming up
12:17for Justin Sanchez.
12:19Six straight points for the Blazers.
12:21Third time's the charm.
12:23Justin Sanchez's first two attacks
12:25were a bit short on the finish.
12:27But the third one,
12:29he was sure he could shoot.
12:31Another six straight points.
12:33Tony Inod providing the goods.
12:35And the latest one comes
12:37from Justin Sanchez.
12:39Hard to stop that length
12:41and size
12:43on the move.
12:47Three minutes remaining in the first.
12:51Kenny Estacio.
12:53Kenny has
12:55Cometa on hand.
12:57They go to Bismarck here.
12:59Lina.
13:01Lina.
13:03Good pressure coming from Liwag.
13:11Morales inspires.
13:13Here comes Kenny Estacio.
13:15Two and a half to go.
13:17Kenny. Yes!
13:19Up and in.
13:21And the foul for Kenny Estacio.
13:29...social media

16:21Corrales sends it out.
16:23Corrales.
16:25Gabby Cometa with the hop.
16:27That's what you call traveling.
16:29Traveling.
16:31That's the hop step prince.
16:33That's the one with the fine line.
16:35Sometimes, the split second
16:37when your feet aren't on the floor
16:39can determine
16:41if it's traveling or not.
16:43That's the
16:45hop.
16:47That's the span of time
16:49when your feet aren't on the floor
16:51can determine if it's traveling or not.
16:53Traveling.
16:55If you're a referee,
16:57you have to be quick.
16:59Yes.
17:0118 to 19.
17:03RC Kalimat now in the game.
17:05Bismarck Lina.
17:07Lina.
17:11That's a beast mode move coming from
17:13Bismarck.
17:15Yes.
17:17That's where Benilda will struggle.
17:19When Allen Niwag comes out
17:21to rest, his replacement
17:23can he defend against
17:25the big men of San Veda?
17:27Turgo misses.
17:29And the Red Lions
17:31are ahead and with the basketball.
17:33Lina.
17:35Addo. Estacio.
17:37That's going to be a foul.
17:41On Ian Torres.
17:43Look at this.
17:45Lina.
17:47Turgo in front of him.
18:05Niwag is one of the best
18:07rim protectors in the league.
18:11Best rim protectors.
18:13Previous game.
18:15And speaking of
18:17rim protection, that's Morales
18:19swatting it.
18:21Morales
18:23with the early play.
18:25Good productive minutes
18:27off the bench.
18:29Allen Niwag is back.
18:31Yes. I just drank a little.
18:33I just wiped my sweat.
18:35I'll be back.
18:37That was less than a minute.
18:39Niwag is back.
18:41The effect of Benil Blazers
18:43is that Allen is not inside.
18:45Peda maximized it.
18:47They countered Bismay.
18:49Here's Ian Torres.
18:51We have a 5 second difference
18:53between the shot
18:55and the game clock.
18:57Torres. Comeda.
18:59It is down to 4.
19:01Comeda.
19:032. Comeda short.
19:05Rebound to Kalimag.
19:07We have limited time.
19:09Estasho.
19:11Rattles
19:13in and out for Penny.
19:15That's how we will end the first
19:1710 minutes of action. The defending champions
19:19with a headliner
19:21from the 20-19
19:23over Benil.
19:25We'll be back for more.
19:27This is GTV.
