00:00And here we go, the ball is up in the air and it is Benil Possession.
00:06Quick cliff notes here, first 6 minutes of the game,
00:10Mapua started getting a handle on the game,
00:13and somebody who wants to forget that game 1 performance is Tony Enot.
00:18Why not? Why not? First ball, 3 points for Tony.
00:22Tony Enot, 1 for 5 from beyond the arc in game number 1,
00:26played 28 minutes but only managed 7 points for the Blazers.
00:31He averages 10.4 points per outing.
00:34He definitely has to come up bigger this time around, and this is a good sign.
00:38Yep, running that floppy screen action, single-double on one side.
00:43The question is, can they bring the Heat 4 to game 3 and keep their dream alive?
00:48What do you think?
00:50They have been here before, 2 seasons ago against Natran.
00:54Will Gozo and company stepped up big time to force a deciding game number 3
01:00against the eventual champion, Natran Knights,
01:02as we see this champ moment of the game brought to you by Milo.
01:07Get winning energy every day with Milo,
01:10and there he is, the MVP, Alan Diwag,
01:13and there is fire in the eyes today of Tony Enot.
01:19Here in the first period, a 7-0 start,
01:22and that is why Cyrus Cuenco has been called from the bench very early in this contest.
01:27Christopher Ovilia, the rookie of the year, gets Mapua on the board.
01:32That's what they need to do.
01:34Finish underneath the basket, and just elevate,
01:37and use that athleticism and speed,
01:39because they have the crowd advantage here.
01:43And if the crowd gets involved, that's a big thing for Mapua.
01:48And that's the first turnover of the game for Benilde,
01:52and that's what fuels these Cardinals.
01:55Ovilia, he's taken 2 tough shots already,
01:59and Justin Sanchez, his defense is on point.
02:02Yup, second time that he gets a half to a turnover,
02:06and getting baskets in transition, this Benilde.
02:11The graduating team captain, Mark Sanco,
02:15gets on the board for the Blazers.
02:17Only two graduating players on their squad, Sanco and Paul Turco.
02:22Cuenco breaks free, no foul called.
02:25Ovilia picks up the loose ball, baseline jumper.
02:28Cuenco with a putback!
02:30And what a thing that Sai Cuenco brings, crash boards.
02:35If the top player has no ball, he likes to throw crash boards.
02:41Sanco gets it down low to Sanchez.
02:45They like this matchup.
02:46Sanchez gives it to Liwag.
02:49Liwag, power move!
02:51The defense is too thin inside,
02:54but when Allen Liwag gets it, those paint touches,
02:57that's a big thing for Allen, especially early in the game.
03:01Escamez being defended by Justin Sanchez.
03:05Sanchez, 6'5".
03:07Cuenco for three. Cyrus Cuenco knocks it down.
03:11If that's what they needed.
03:13Another offensive option.
03:14Sai Cuenco has been lights out the whole season.
03:18Focal point on offense, the two of them, Clint Escamez have been very solid.
03:23And now trying to go for that kill here in game number two.
03:27Cuenco averaging 11.5 points per contest for the Cardinals.
03:31This is Jubil Ansheta!
03:37And I would cut quadruple down, Anton, with what I said in opening day.
03:41This squad will go as far as Jubil Ansheta and Ian Torres.
03:45Both have focal points in their offense, point of attack,
03:50both offensively and defensively.
03:53Talking about focal points, Clint Escamez answers on the other end.
03:59Bancale to Cuenco.
04:03Cuenco against Sanchez.
04:05Climb on the shot clock.
04:06They get it to J.C. Recto.
04:08Recto with a fadeaway!
04:10J.C. Recto!
04:12Good read by Cuenco.
04:14Mark Sancho switched early.
04:17Just rolling to that short corner.
04:19Cuenco, he loves that shot.
04:21The dribble pull-up.
04:23And Recto denies!
04:25Leewad at the rim!
04:26Great defense.
04:27Let's see here.
04:28A third defender.
04:30Now taking his turn.
04:32Guarding Clint Escamez is Josh Kahokog.
04:35Escamez!
04:37Wild shot.
04:39Escamez grabs his own miss.
04:41Recto faking a three.
04:43Drives.
04:44Bancale.
04:45Fadeaway from the elbow.
04:47And that's a rebound by Leewad.
04:51An interception by Bancale.
04:54Another speedy guard.
04:58Big-time recruit.
05:01Escamez.
05:02Stops, pops, and connects!
05:04Clint Escamez!
05:06He makes it look easy.
05:09And you gotta love the way that he is.
05:11He's so fast.
05:12He's so fast.
05:13He's so fast.
05:14He's so fast.
05:15He's so fast.
05:16He's so fast.
05:17He's so fast.
05:18He's so fast.
05:19He's so fast.
05:20He's so fast.
05:21He's so fast.
05:22You gotta love the way that he is competing.
05:24Yeah, yeah.
05:25There has been a few no-calls dusa mga atake niya.
05:27Pero din lang lang din.
05:29And this team really revolves around him.
05:31And the more that he engages the defense, the better it is for his teammates.
05:36Meanwhile!
05:39A three by Justin Sanchez.
05:42What a start for Enot and Sanchez on both ends of the court.
05:46Yup.
05:47Bumawi.
05:48Ayun talawa.
05:49Pero titignan natin na.
05:50Mahaba itong laro.
05:51Nobody wins in the first quarter.
05:53But right now, it's a very high-scoring game.
05:56Remember, game number one was 26-20.
05:58Ngayon, 19-15.
06:01But how about this break jump by Clint Escamiz?
06:04He can't miss Escamiz.
06:06Yan sya the past three games.
06:08And on the flip side, nakitaw na triple.
06:11It was Justin Sanchez.
06:13A great sign for the Blazer, Sanchez.
06:19And the one today from beyond the arc, Escamiz again!
06:25So you know that, Daniel.
06:26Young mid-range, that's the new layup for the younger guys.
06:30Kasi pag pumunta ka dun sa shaded area, the threes are there.
06:33So, kailangan na akasin ka na three points in that elbow to that mid-post area.
06:38Kailangan may mga pull-up ka na, which is what Clint asked me to do.
06:41It's a great defense by Andre Gliani.
06:43Another stop by the Cardinals.
06:45Escamiz is feeling it.
06:47Six points already.
06:48Escamiz stepping back.
06:51Not that time.
06:52A little heat shake.
06:56Eusebio, baseline drive.
06:58Anton Eusebio gets on the board.
07:03And what a stretch by Eusebio.
07:06NCAA Season 100 is international.
07:10Recto, pinit-pit ng bola.
07:12What a finish by JC Recto.
07:14E nito yung kilala natin ni JC Recto.
07:16Parang waiter nilatag yung layup na yun.
07:19Diret-diretto sa gitna.
07:21Wala ka to bili.
07:22Hindi nga yung sinasabi natin eh.
07:24Yung kaibahan nila ni Anton Eusebio.
07:26Pag si Recto umatake, bumpuho yung loob.
07:30Bakale.
07:31Gets it to JC.
07:32JC on the move.
07:34JC Recto fouled by Eusebio.
07:36And kapre, si Boogie.
07:38Kita mo pag umaatake yung Eusebio, kailangan niyang umiwas sa bangga.
07:44Etong si Recto, pag umatake, talagang dinitiin.
07:48Kita mo yung contact.
07:49Kung mag-mintest, mintest.
07:51Kung hindi, tatawag yung referee ng ball.
07:55Agenda transferring.
07:57Benilled for this purpose.
07:59To try to win a championship.
08:02And he's free.
08:03For three.
08:04In and out.
08:05Liwag, another rebound.
08:07And a putback.
08:08And that's what makes Alan Liwag go.
08:10Crashing the boards, eh.
08:12Offensive rebound.
08:13And finishing in contact.
08:17Gives it to Escamiz.
08:20Playing for the final shot.
08:21Possibly.
08:22Here.
08:23In the first period.
08:25Escamiz.
08:29Tony Inot.
08:30Nakaharang sa kanya.
08:31Escamiz.
08:33Changes his mind.
08:34Mangubat for three.
08:36And the Cardinals take the lead.
08:40At the buzzer.
08:42Lawrence Mangubat.
08:47Clint Escamiz.
08:49Defended by Inot.
08:51Gives it up to the rookie point guard.
08:54And Lawrence Mangubat.
08:56In his first final series.
08:58Gives Mapua the lead.
09:00At the end.
09:01Of one.
09:03Benilled started his game.
09:04Coach Hammer with a seven to nothing start.
09:07And here comes Escamiz.
09:09And again passing things.
09:11Being played well by Clint Escamiz.
09:13Benilled.
09:15Struggled from the three point nine in game number one.
09:18Five out of twenty-one.
09:21Today.
09:23They have made three three-pointers already though.
09:25Hupiria.
09:26Cuts to the basket.
09:28Ganda ng pasa.
09:29Ni Lawrence Mangubat.
09:31Off that thumps down play.
09:32Ivers on screen.
09:33Ball screen action.
09:35Binigay dito kay Cometa.
09:37Cometa to Inot.
09:39Thought about the three.
09:40Inot drives.
09:41Inot.
09:42Wow!
09:43What a reverse by Tony Inot.
09:45Reminding his players of what happened last year against Sanpeda.
09:49They don't want a repeat of that.
09:51Concepcion.
09:52What a stop.
09:54Rising up to the nine.
09:55Roger Ondoa.
09:57Grabe nakaupuna.
09:58Nakarebound pa.
10:00Escamiz.
10:02Gives it to Indiane.
10:03Torres is denying Mangubat.
10:04Escamiz.
10:06With a burst of speed.
10:08Clint Escamiz.
10:09Count the basket.
10:10Plus the foul.
10:12Tuloy-tuloy dito.
10:14Ang pagdating ng mga atake ng mabuhay.
10:17Benealed.
10:18Looking like they are shell-shocked right now.
10:23And this amazing play from Clint Escamiz is definitely our McDonald's Play of the Game
10:28brought to you by the new and better McCafe Iced Coffee Boulder Brew Creamier Blend McDonald's.
10:35Love ko to.
10:37Now it's Sanko defending Clint.
10:39The fourth defender.
10:41Escamiz for three.
10:42No.
10:43Ondoa with the board.
10:46Torres using his speed.
10:48Torres to Ondoa.
10:50Magkakilala yan.
10:51Dalawang yan.
10:52Yup.
10:53Magkakapihan sa ICC.
10:54With the late-grade coach Don Guerrero.
10:56Past their head coach.
10:57The lone championship of the Benealed Blazers.
11:00Steady.
11:01On the J.
11:03Cuenco.
11:06Coming off the bench today.
11:07Scoring seven out of Mapua's 15 bench points.
11:11Cuenco.
11:13Another one.
11:15Cyrus Cuenco with a middie.
11:18It's both cage and snake.
11:20Yan lang yung ginagawa ni Cy Cuenco.
11:22Off the ball screen.
11:23Yan lang babuli ang papight over yung mga guards ng Benealed.
11:26Kine-cage siyang nila.
11:27Kinukuha lang nila yung binibigay ng depensa.
11:30Medium-range jumper.
11:31Sabay DD in sila ng DD in sa depensa.
11:33Di baaling mapagod sila dito.
11:36Sanchez gives Benealed a much-needed basket.
11:41Cuenco.
11:42To Recto.
11:43Nabitawan ang bola.
11:46Acheta to Enon.
11:48Enon for three.
11:49A lot of space.
11:51A 5-0 run for Benealed.
11:53And that's what they need.
11:56Escamiz.
12:00Escamiz with 13 in the game.
12:02Escamiz steps back.
12:04Escamiz short.
12:06Jovilla.
12:08Second serving.
12:09Christopher Jovilla with a putback.
12:12Wala, kailangan backstouting mo yung Jovilla.
12:14Kasi yung mga, alam niya kung saan tatalbog yung ball.
12:16I asked that.
12:17No score in the basketball.
12:19Sanchez with a Pinoy step.
12:21Pinoy step here in the finals.
12:24Mahirap talagang stop in si Justin.
12:26If he has that full head of steam.
12:28Going downhill.
12:29Especially on his strong hand, right hand.
12:31Pag nakapasok siya doon ng balika at naka-turn siya ng corner.
12:35Mahirap hintoin niya.
12:36Sanchez already with eight points.
12:38Chico Bacale with a corner triple.
12:41Ready.
12:42Yung mga shock troopers ni Coach Randy Alcantara dito.
12:45Coming off the bench.
12:47This stage is not too big for them.
12:48That's for sure.
12:50Inot.
12:51Liwag wants it.
12:52He gets it in the post.
12:54Liwag.
12:55Binigay dito kay Sanchez.
12:56Oli.
12:57Wala sa kanto.
12:58Matthew Oli.
13:00Big time basket.
13:02Unfamiliar territory for them.
13:0414 turnovers na sila dito.
13:06In the first half alone.
13:08The average 15.9.
13:10Clint Escamiz.
13:13He makes a bad shot look good.
13:17So we have people watching from the Middle East and North America
13:22as Torres grabs his own miss and scores on the floater.
13:26And this is what they need to do.
13:27They need to be a little bit more aggressive
13:30because they're fighting for their championship hopes.
13:35Ian Torres scored two points in 12 minutes of action in game number one.
13:42Escamiz.
13:44Short on that jumper.
13:46Sanchez with a board.
13:48Biggin natin kung si Ian Torres na may sagot dito as the main facilitator.
13:53Oh Sanchez with a blue by.
13:55Good move.
13:56Quick cross by Justin Sanchez.
13:58Quick 4-0 run.
14:00During the first half of the game.
14:02We are not going to win if you keep on throwing the ball away.
14:05These were words from Coach Charles Chu upon entering the dugout.
14:08Ang ini Coach Charles ay simple lang naman.
14:11Ang hinihingi niya sa kanyang kubunan na Diana
14:14e wag nang ipasa pa ang bola sa kalaban.
14:16Coach Charles also emphasized that they actually shot a higher percentage from the field.
14:21Talaga lang kulang sila.
14:23And here is that amazing play from Tony Enot.
14:27That's definitely our McDonald's play of the game.
14:29Brought to you by the new and better McCafe iced coffee.
14:33Older Brew.
14:34Creamier blend.
14:35McDonald's.
14:36Love Kano.
14:38Mas maraming shot attempts na labing dalawa.
14:40So ibig sabihin mas maraming sila nasa stock na dira.
14:42Good pass.
14:44Torres free for three.
14:46Torres capitalizes.
14:48And now Benil's offense is picking up.
14:53Tony Enot 17 minutes played.
14:5610 points.
14:58How about this guy?
15:00Chico Bancale.
15:02Falling down and drains the long ball.
15:04And another turnover pass was too high even for the 6'5'' Sanchez.
15:10Hawak hawak na ni Allen.
15:12Iwag sa ilalim.
15:14How about this tough shot by Chico Bancale off the inbound.
15:18Walang ato bilay.
15:19Pangalawag.
15:21He has been waiting for it.
15:23But of course, Coach was also adamant about the things that they can improve on.
15:26Una na dyan.
15:28The team was told to weather the storm effectively and refrain from doing plays that are not
15:32part of their plans.
15:34Second, they were told that the second half is about to improve the posture and more possession.
15:38And lastly, the team was instructed to forget about the surnames at the back of their jerseys
15:43and instead focus on what is in front of it.
15:45The reason for all their hard work.
15:50A lot happened while Christine was delivering her report.
15:54Allen Iwag banking home a shot from the heavens.
15:57And this was after Escamiz tried to fish for a foul.
16:04Andre Igliani.
16:06Second triple of the game.
16:088 for 32 for the entire season.
16:15Torres.
16:19Inside pass to Iwag.
16:21Iwag with a basket.
16:23He can't give a foul.
16:25He can't give a foul.
16:27He's like a massage.
16:29He can't cry when he's under the ball.
16:31Which he has been doing the whole season.
16:34The guards have to be on their toes.
16:37But if you're the one who filed the foul, you can see that the ball is going down.
16:42You also have a point to contest.
16:44The contact.
16:46This is a screen and roll action.
16:48Allen Iwag is saying that the hands are shaking.
16:50But it's clearly a good challenge.
16:53Ian Torres.
16:55Started this period.
16:57Has not been pulled back yet to the bench.
17:00Sanko.
17:02On the drive.
17:04Sanko with the finish.
17:06Going to a strong side.
17:08Yes, that's the left side to see Mark Sanko.
17:10Dribble up.
17:12Fake handoff.
17:14And just going downhill from there.
17:16Good read by Mark Sanko.
17:18Mapua lead is down to two.
17:20Good pass.
17:22Good pass by Quenco.
17:24Putting the head on a spin cycle.
17:27Talking about the defender Justin Sanchez.
17:29Basic pass and cut.
17:31The defender didn't see it.
17:33Delivery.
17:35Sanchez.
17:37Spin move.
17:39Sanchez.
17:41Concept shot with the rebound.
17:43That was a forced shot by Justin Sanchez.
17:45Quenco.
17:46Quenco.
17:48Escamiz is on the bench.
17:52Quenco's opportunity to shine.
17:56Quenco.
17:58Steps back.
18:00Cyrus.
18:02Quenco.
18:04Thrills the step back.
18:06Ollie.
18:08Three for three.
18:10Short.
18:12Ollie.
18:13Good job on the double touch by Matthew Ollie.
18:15But more concerning is Clint Escamiz.
18:17Getting his legs rubbed on that sideline of Mapua.
18:23It's a big deal.
18:25Because if he is elevating those feet.
18:27Maybe early signs of cramps on the other side.
18:29Tony Enot is doing the same.
18:31We're going to fight here.
18:34Straight.
18:36Mamubat for three.
18:38Lawrence Mamubat.
18:40With a big time basket.
18:42And Mapua.
18:44Two.
18:46Mapua is trying to preserve Clint Escamiz.
18:49And keep him on the bench for as long as they can.
18:52For one final push.
18:54Mamubat for three.
18:56Lawrence Mamubat.
18:59Oh my goodness.
19:05And Mapua.
19:07Knowing how important a third quarter run is.
19:11After their experience last year.
19:14And against Letran in game number three.
19:16Remember.
19:18That's what happened there.
19:20Third quarter run.
19:22Lawrence Mamubat.
19:24The star point guard.
19:26From Mapua High School.
19:28Making an impact here in his first finals.
19:30As a collegiate player.
19:32Eighty percent from three.
19:33Mapua four out of five here.
19:35In the third quarter alone.
19:37Ancheta nearly falling down.
19:39Sanchez misses at the rim.
19:43Another sorry miss.
19:4963-54.
19:51Mamubat.
19:53Igniane.
19:55Quinto.
19:57Side drive.
19:59Cyrus Quinto.
20:01Biggest lead of the game now.
20:08Sanchez.
20:11Iwan ang patay.
20:13So nagiging kanya-kanyang atake dito ngayon.
20:16Quest to push a game three.
20:18And to mimic that same victory in season 98.
20:21In this final quarter.
20:23Coach Charles Chu wants his guys to remain composed.
20:25Assuring them that they are doing good.
20:27Still he challenges the Blazers to put more effort.
20:30On pressuring the ball.
20:32Dagtag pa niya.
20:34Pag napagod rawit ang Cardinals in the fourth quarter.
20:36This is their chance to make their runs on tone.
20:38And Coach Hammers.
20:40They've done it once.
20:42Kaya nilang matagumpay.
20:44Napahabain pa nga nilang chance.
20:46Ang by the way ang champion ako.
20:48Balik mo na sa inyo.
