00:00You have to make things ugly, you have to make them work on both ends of the court.
00:05Harkin, Ancheta on the catch and shoot and Ancheta knocks it down.
00:10As Ancheta said, I'm not just for the final quarter, I'll give it to you right away.
00:15This is how important our game is.
00:17Picking up where he left off against the Red Lions.
00:21Here he is, he got the board.
00:23Forward pass.
00:24Back to him here.
00:26Sanchez with a quick spin.
00:28Justin Sanchez.
00:30Harkin with an attack.
00:31Harkin scores on the lay.
00:36Forward match about to win.
00:39Ancheta to Ole.
00:41Ancheta chooses to fire.
00:43Second triple down and good for Joe and Ancheta.
00:47It looks like they want to go to Liwag.
00:50That's why they're collapsing.
00:52They're opening up.
00:53They're opening up like it's Ancheta.
00:56Let's put less pressure now on Liwag.
00:59When Ancheta is scoring like this.
01:02Ancheta from the same spot.
01:05This time it's off the heel.
01:07Kunanan forward pass.
01:09Bravo with the catch.
01:11JF what's it up in?
01:13That's their strength.
01:15They need to push the ball.
01:19They need to mess up the structure of the place of the CSB.
01:25They really don't want Liwag to touch the ball.
01:27Here's Allen.
01:28Take out.
01:29Sanko catch and shoot.
01:30Sanko drops it in.
01:34So the Blazers are hot from the outside.
01:39A big thing that the CSB is hitting from the outside.
01:44Later there will be a space for Allen in that paint.
01:48Sunbed.
01:50They were also solid from long distance.
01:53Nine triples for this Benil team.
01:56They go to Allen Liwag.
01:58He surveys the floor once more.
02:00Liwag baseline drive.
02:02That's going to be a push on Aviles.
02:06Actually the best thing the LPU will do is to collapse.
02:10Now they need to locate the shooters.
02:13They need to chase and challenge those outside shots.
02:16We saw JF Bravo and Allen Liwag moving earlier.
02:20Breaking the zone.
02:22And the zone buster provided by Mark Sanko.
02:25And Atobarba our second leading scorer of the league.
02:28Along with JF Verzosa.
02:29Atobarba is on the move.
02:31Atobarba.
02:33Wasting no time.
02:35He's just going to score two points.
02:37Let's check out this play.
02:39Atobarba.
02:41With the alertness to get the ball.
02:45And he finished it all the way.
02:47The struggles continue from the outside.
02:50Hasn't quite found the groove again.
02:53Ian Torres releases.
02:55No go.
02:56Allen Liwag against three defenders.
02:59Puts it up and in.
03:00He doesn't have a chance in that rebound.
03:03The length.
03:05This guy's athleticism is amazing.
03:08Allen Liwag dealing damage here in the first.
03:10He's got four points already.
03:14Atobarba.
03:15In your face three.
03:18And he likes that.
03:19Six points now in the game.
03:25Torres.
03:27Back on top.
03:28Morales.
03:29High arching three.
03:30Rattles home for John Morales.
03:33They really can't focus on defense.
03:35Only on Liwag.
03:38Even their four can really stretch the floor.
03:43Here's Atobarba.
03:44Another one here.
03:45Oh!
03:46Barba.
03:47Back to back hits from the outside.
03:51Perfect start for Atobarba.
03:53But Barba still has no emotions.
03:55Focused.
03:58Enote misses.
03:59Brizosa flies in.
04:01Here comes LPU.
04:03Barba.
04:04Enote will attack.
04:05He will back up.
04:06Barba decides to shoot.
04:07Oh!
04:08Why not?
04:10He checked.
04:11He missed a lot.
04:12It's hot.
04:14Atobarba's first quarter is hot.
04:18Four out of four from the field.
04:20Biggest advantage for LPU so far.
04:24Torres.
04:26We'll wait.
04:27They can go for the final shot here.
04:29And Torres still has it.
04:30Oh!
04:31Backlog with a steal.
04:32Guadagna goes up.
04:34Guadagna away!
04:37And the Pirates finish strong in the first.
04:41Right behind the 12 points off the bench.
04:45Or off the bench.
04:46From Atobarba.
04:50Thanks, Aliyah.
04:51Well, we're seeing that here as Ian Torres
04:53gets the triple from the corner.
04:56Coach Gilbert.
04:57Well, they'll use their main strength here
04:59which is their quickness against the Blazers.
05:02That's the coach's plan.
05:04To face them here on the field.
05:06He's facing the matchup.
05:08LPU's speed.
05:10With a small lineup also.
05:12Backload.
05:13Catch and shoot.
05:14Guadagna!
05:15Hangs the bottom of the net.
05:17That is his first triple of the game.
05:19LPU is just good.
05:22Barba.
05:23You thought he was just outside.
05:24He can also go to the post.
05:26So he can take advantage of Benilde's small lineup.
05:30Antonio Sevilla will be found here by Kyle Montano.
05:34But how about the LPU Pirates
05:36continuing what they did in the first?
05:38Ian Torres first.
05:40Knocking it down from deep.
05:43And the Pirates executing
05:46the spray to Guadagna.
05:50Every defensive scheme.
05:52Different defensive schemes
05:54thrown at him this year.
05:56But this is probably the most difficult
05:58he's been able to get the ball.
06:00Abiles.
06:01Abiles is also heavy.
06:03And he's going to the cross pick.
06:05They're still trying to catch him, Barba.
06:07Speaking of Barba.
06:09This is Barba.
06:11He's still feeling it.
06:15Wow! 18 points in the first half for this.
06:19Still perfect from the field.
06:21Largest lead for the Pirates.
06:24Liwag.
06:26Liwag scores!
06:29Liwag has four points now.
06:32But it's really hard to keep an eye on Allen.
06:36Four points now for Allen Liwag.
06:39Renz Villegas.
06:40It's his turn to offer it.
06:42He's got the bigger Sanchez on him.
06:45Bravo from the left.
06:47Largo knocks it down.
06:49It's like Bravo isn't taking a break.
06:53Second basket of the game for GM Bravo.
06:56And LPU is just cruising here in the first half.
07:00Tony Enot will attack.
07:02They send it out.
07:03Torres from the top of the key.
07:05Left it short.
07:06Renato Barba gets it.
07:08Forward pass.
07:09Renz Villegas behind the back.
07:11Bravo with a finish on the fast play.
07:14Showtime play for LPU.
07:17Timeout, Coach Charles.
07:19It is the largest lead for the Pirates here in the first half.
07:22Back to the coverage.
07:24And it is LPU surging here in the first half.
07:28Barba continues his outstart.
07:30Allen Liwag scores on the counter here off the glass.
07:33And how about GM Bravo?
07:37Two consecutive baskets for the Pirates.
07:39One off the elbow.
07:41And off the short behind the back pass by Renz Villegas.
07:45He finishes on the break.
07:46For LPU.
07:48Angeta is in.
07:49Let's see if the fielding has an effect on him.
07:53Allen Liwag.
07:54Backing down.
07:55Scores with the left hand.
07:57That's hard.
07:58Left hook.
07:59I think that's the weaker hand.
08:00But we'll see.
08:01By Bravo.
08:03Oh, Villegas.
08:05That one was deflected by Sanko.
08:08Here comes Vinny.
08:09And Angeta finishes.
08:12And Angeta.
08:14A 4 to nothing answer.
08:17Driving.
08:18Difficult take.
08:19He gets it back.
08:20Joe Mann chooses to attack as well.
08:22Outs it up and in.
08:2310 points now for Angeta.
08:26Actually, Coach Gilbert does the same thing.
08:29Coach Gilbert's rotation is very unpredictable.
08:32In the difficult scout rotations.
08:35Justin Sanchez.
08:37Inside.
08:39So that is the first field goal.
08:41For Sanchez today.
08:42Lead is down to 10.
08:45Sanchez needs to be more aggressive now.
08:49Montano misses badly.
08:51Liwag is hounded.
08:53Oh, Barba.
08:54Out of nowhere gets the steal.
08:56Anticipation, right?
08:58Ato Barba saw that from almost at the half court mark.
09:0220 points now for Ato Barba.
09:06On a perfect 6 out of 6 from the field.
09:09We're still in the first half.
09:10Correct.
09:11We still have 90 seconds to go.
09:13Cometa from the corner.
09:15Cometa knocks it down.
09:17You can't give Cometa an open shot like that.
09:21It's automatic to him.
09:24Here's Beliud.
09:26Slowly.
09:27Not one shot.
09:29Slowly.
09:30LPU is lowering the lead.
09:33Ato surveys.
09:357 to shoot.
09:36Barba.
09:38Barba.
09:39Backs down.
09:40Barba.
09:41Yes!
09:42He is still perfect.
09:437 out of 7 from the field.
09:46How will Barba guard?
09:48He can shoot from those trees.
09:50And he can post you up.
09:52It's hard.
09:5322 first half points for Ato Barba.
09:56Liwag, offensive board.
09:57And Liwag.
09:59Up and in.
10:00Plus one.
10:01That's their biggest problem.
10:04Liwag.
10:05It looks like Coach Gilbert needs to change his game plan.
10:09As we see.
10:10This last place.
10:11Ato Barba.
10:12Out of nowhere.
10:13Anceta was surprised.
10:15He jumped to the back.
10:17But Beliud executing offensively.
10:19Cometa left open at the corner.
10:22Barba just willing his team.
10:26To this 9 point lead.
10:28Easy for Liwag.
10:30This is now becoming a problem for LPU.
10:33Because of a long stretch.
10:37JM Bersoza.
10:39Guarding Liwag.
10:41Which is of course a few inches shorter.
10:44Or who is a few inches shorter than Liwag.
10:47We can see the adjustment on the weak side.
10:49Every time Liwag doubles.
10:52The cross court passes are there.
10:55The three-pointers are open.
10:57That's two for Cometa.
10:595 point stretch.
11:01For Beliud.
11:03And they're back within 6.
11:05What a climb for the Blazers.
11:10Hand-off to Guadagna.
11:12Looking for a chance for LPU.
11:17Guadagna chooses the three.
11:19Short.
11:2010 seconds remaining here in the first half.
11:24Here is Liwag down the middle.
11:25Liwag lays it up again.
11:28And Beliud.
11:29Beliud.
11:32And going into the final four.
11:34If LPU wins.
11:36They secure number 4.
11:38And will eliminate.
11:40In the way that they play for today's game.
11:43During the halftime break.
11:44Coach Charles asked his team.
11:46To play excellent defense.
11:47Take care of the ball.
11:48And capitalize on their size.
11:50Coach Charles added.
11:51I want to win this game.
11:53And I hope you want it.
11:54As much as I do.
11:55So let's see.
11:57We can help them fight and rise.
11:59As one.
12:00To secure this victory.
12:01That's all from court side.
12:02Back to you, Martin.
12:04Guadagna.
12:05Beliud.
12:06Has fought their way back.
12:08In this one.
12:10From 16 points down.
12:13In our second quarter.
12:14They're now back in front.
12:1647-46.
12:18Here is Mark Sampo.
12:19He didn't get a 3 earlier.
12:21Aviles.
12:22Midrange J is good.
12:24So LPU.
12:25Just like that.
12:26He's back in front.
12:28A big thing.
12:29Aviles' point.
12:30The run was bricked.
12:32By Vinil Razor.
12:36It's tit for tat now.
12:37Here in the third.
12:39Jomen Ancheta.
12:41Closely eyed by Villegas.
12:43Ancheta.
12:44Thought about it.
12:45Close court pass here.
12:46Sampo.
12:47Back to the outside.
12:48Shot clock winding down.
12:49Ancheta.
12:50Oh!
12:53Beats the buzzer.
12:56He already knows when he's going to step up.
12:59He already knows.
13:01Third triple for Ancheta.
13:0413 points in the game.
13:07Pocket pass here.
13:08And Aviles with back to back baskets.
13:11Good execution on that ball screen offense.
13:15This is only our second deadlock.
13:17Off the game.
13:1850 apiece.
13:21Three minutes gone here in the third.
13:23Both teams doing a great job in reserving their fouls as well.
13:27Sanchez.
13:28No.
13:29Difficult shot for Justin Sanchez.
13:31Here is Vince Villegas.
13:33He races the other way.
13:35Villegas pulls the trigger.
13:37Too quick.
13:38Back to him.
13:39Reload.
13:40Yes!
13:42Here's what you hear from the coaches.
13:44No, no, no, no, no.
13:45Yes!
13:47Ancheta.
13:48Baseline move.
13:49Sanchez.
13:50Almost stolen.
13:51Liwag off the bank.
13:54A beautiful adjustment in the defense of Vinil Blazers to Barba.
14:00Every time they're on the ball screen.
14:02We can see their length.
14:04They can keep up with Barba now.
14:06They put a long defender to Barba.
14:1014 points for Liwag.
14:12Justin Sanchez races the other way.
14:15And the Blazers are back in the game.
14:18And the Blazers are back ahead.
14:21Blazers.
14:22And just playing honest defense at the half court.
14:25Sanchez.
14:26Free kick to the bottom.
14:28Vinil Blazers read it beautifully.
14:32So now the Blazers open up a 4-point lead.
14:36Their biggest so far.
14:3957-53.
14:41The LPU is left behind.
14:43How will they counter?
14:44Daileg.
14:46Spins.
14:47Takes.
14:48And gets the bounce.
14:50They really need Daileg's spotting.
14:54He needs to be more aggressive this time.
14:57First two points since the first quarter for Daileg.
15:01Ancheta pulls the trigger.
15:03Off the back iron.
15:05It is with Villegas.
15:073-on-2 LPU.
15:08Doesn't have the numbers.
15:10Guadagna fakes it.
15:11One dribble pull-up.
15:12It's good for McLaughlin.
15:184-on-answer now for LPU.
15:24We're back to square one.
15:2657-a-piece.
15:28Cheque puntos na para dito kay McLaughlin Guadagna.
15:31Tony Enot.
15:33Silent in the game.
15:36Enot has Daileg on the switch.
15:38Enot.
15:39Kaboom!
15:41Breaking his silence with that triple.
15:44Harapan yun ha.
15:45Defense in front.
15:49Four points for Tony.
15:51First field goal.
15:53After going 0 out of 3 in his first shots.
15:57Renz Villegas.
15:59That was a quick drive and he finishes with a left.
16:02Tamangayan na natin.
16:03He's getting aggressive.
16:04Pagdating ng third.
16:05Ang hirap na na.
16:06Right to left finish.
16:08Enot.
16:10Pocket pass.
16:12Masyado malakas para kay Liwag.
16:13Here's Ako Barba.
16:15Barba going.
16:16Close to coast.
16:18Very composed na.
16:22Tenth lead change.
16:24Barba, his first two points.
16:26In the second half.
16:31Sanchez.
16:34Liwag has Versoza.
16:36Liwag.
16:38Will bully his way to the rim.
16:41But a foul on the floor.
16:44Coach Gilbert was actually looking for the offensive foul.
16:48And Macleod Guadagna with a wonderful follow up here.
16:51Tony Enot.
16:52Gutsy shot.
16:54As the shot clock was winding down para dito sa Pinoy.
16:58Kaya dito si Renz Villegas.
17:01Nagisimula na.
17:03Starting to make some noise again.
17:05Ako Barba.
17:06On top of a long break.
17:08LPU.
17:09Ahead by one.
17:17Pometa.
17:18Pocket pass.
17:19Sanchez.
17:20Secures this one off the window.
17:22It's really hard to design a defensive scheme sa line up ng St. Vinil.
17:29A lot of players can manufacture points and create their own shots.
17:34Eto siya to Barba.
17:36Guadagna.
17:37Blowing by.
17:38Macleod to the top.
17:42Good attack by Guadagna.
17:44Agbabalik.
17:47Macleod Guadagna.
17:49Stops.
17:50Pulls back.
17:52And they go to JM here against Morales.
17:55Bravo.
17:56His turn to back down.
17:57Harbing's face.
17:58What a move.
18:00Wala na si Liwag.
18:01Wala ng rim protector.
18:03They're going inside right now.
18:06Guadagna.
18:08As soon as Liwag leaves the court.
18:11Nagliwanag yung mata nila inside.
18:13To redefend.
18:15Mas gumihawa ang buhay para sa LPU.
18:17Matthew Oli.
18:18Straight away.
18:19No.
18:20Nakagawa niyo mga kampe.
18:22Ball is loose.
18:25It stays with Vinil.
18:28Tingnan natin to.
18:30JM Bravo.
18:31Left on an island.
18:32Binurah si Morales.
18:34And he scores that one off the glass.
18:36Bigat gini.
18:37Sumapan actually yung pahinga ni Bravo.
18:39Lumapad siya.
18:41Next.
18:42Dito sa laban natin.
18:43If LPU wins.
18:45They get into the final four officially.
18:47As Bravo scores.
18:49The opening basket of the fourth.
18:51If Vinil wins.
18:52Kaya nga question din yan.
18:54Yung stamina niya.
18:55Kung tatagal talaga siya up to the fourth.
18:58Not big.
18:59Highlight, no?
19:01Wow!
19:03Pulling that one off in a crucial game.
19:0769-62.
19:10Liwag.
19:12Cervez.
19:13Cometa.
19:15Four to shoot.
19:16Sanchez.
19:17Two to shoot.
19:18Sanchez runs into a wall.
19:20Good stop.
19:21Good stop.
19:23Good stop.
19:25We have to watch this move by McLaude.
19:28Going between the legs of Mark Sanko.
19:31A nutmeg move.
19:33And blowing by him.
19:35Ganda, no?
19:37With the open play.
19:39Para gawin mo nga yun.
19:41Same must win game, no?
19:43Iba yung kumpianta mo.
19:45Pati siya not the way.
19:4769-62.
19:49Liwag.
19:51Cervez.
19:5269-62.
19:54Greg.
19:56Trying to split the D.
19:58Hindi masikip yun, no?
19:59Pero alam naman natin once na pumasok si Greg Kunanan dyan,
20:02mag-abang na yung shooter sa labas.
20:04Ito, coach.
20:05Ito mo.
20:06Sarap ulit-ulitin, eh.
