00:00 Five points so far, together with four rebounds and two assists, while Ralph Robin has scored eight points.
00:07 And I want to see, to your point, Prince, what kind of energy EAC will be playing on defense.
00:14 If they will be trapping more, because it's already effective in the second quarter.
00:20 Let's see it.
00:21 Cortiza!
00:22 Trying to start things off with a basket.
00:24 It's going to be Cortiza starting the ballgame, together with JP Magtuliano.
00:31 You know, this is a good sign for EAC.
00:34 The game has just started, 15 seconds left in the time, but they are already aggressive to bring the ball inside.
00:41 Although there are big players in San Beda, they are not afraid to challenge those who are in San Beda.
00:47 And of course, once you finish that foul, they will eventually come out and replace players.
00:54 And from there, they can attack.
00:57 The only thing is, no one went in.
00:59 In the clap.
01:00 Tolentino, Magtuliano, Luciano, Cortiza, and Josejo, the five on the floor for EAC coach Gerson Campilpes.
01:11 On the other side, it is Adrada, Hoffia, Paiosing.
01:17 And in the backcourt, it is Jacob Cortez, together with Nigel Gonzalez.
01:25 Magtuliano taking three.
01:28 No.
01:29 These are wide open looks, just could not get it to fall.
01:32 Paiosing will now run and reset.
01:40 All right, here we go.
01:41 Let's see what Diana Igual has to say about EAC.
01:45 If you are not making a tight defense, nothing will happen to us.
01:50 Chuck and Prince, coach Gerson wants one thing and one thing only from the first quarter down to the second quarter and now going into the second half.
01:59 It is to pull off necessary stops to keep the Red Lions from scoring their points.
02:04 Coach Gerson said that the opposing team has the height advantage, that's why his players need to come up big in terms of defense and creating a fast transition if they want to gain control of the game.
02:15 Our question now is, can the team make the necessary adjustments and will this be enough to power the Generals from back to back?
02:22 What do you think, Chuck and Prince?
02:23 Well, that is definitely the question right now.
02:27 And the most pressing one is how are they going to stop this penetration of San Benna when they don't have the guys with the size of Hopia and Andrada.
02:38 Although it could happen from beyond the arc, that's the answer as Cortiza knocking it down from outside.
02:44 By the way, Prince, shout out to those who are watching.
02:48 Okay, shout out to my fiancé.
02:52 Say it with your chest, Prince Rivero.
02:54 Shout out to my fiancé, Leslie Martinez, and of course to my baby, Lupa, and to our family who is now there in Marikina, and to Isabela, of course.
03:05 We have a thing right now, but I'm just asking her to say it.
03:09 I call her Fiance.
03:11 Fiance.
03:12 Fiance.
03:13 Hi, Fiance.
03:14 Social.
03:15 I love you.
03:16 Yay!
03:17 We like that. Love is in the air.
03:19 Okay, Lizelle Nierves for San Benna.
03:22 Reset, restart, and refocus.
03:25 Let's not be complacent.
03:27 That's what the coaches in the dugout are reminding us, especially with the performance they are currently showing on court.
03:32 Coach Yuri is also reminding us not to rush.
03:34 Communicate on court and watch your teammates take advantage of our position and keep being aggressive.
03:39 Be composed in your press breaks and make better decisions.
03:42 Rebound, rebound, rebound.
03:43 Off to a great start in the first half.
03:45 Coach Yuri and his team gave a checklist.
03:48 First, they must increase their transition defense.
03:50 Second, limit turnovers.
03:52 And third, play as a team.
03:54 Will the Red Lions be able to check all these boxes in the second half?
03:57 Let's watch out for that, Chuck and Prince.
03:59 Thank you so much, Lizelle.
04:01 Both teams exchanging baskets there.
04:04 Mosejo, the full owner.
04:09 I can feel this game starting to open up for EAC on offense.
04:16 You know what they can do here?
04:18 They can keep sending out the Big Man, the Sun Beda through the use of ball screens and spreading the floor.
04:23 And again, this is the defense we are talking about here at EAC.
04:28 They need to be relentless in defense before the ball reaches the Big Man, where they are having a hard time.
04:34 They are having a hard time.
04:36 So that the chance of the ball reaching the inside is lessened, which is a bit out.
04:40 They are having a hard time.
04:45 We saw there the baskets of Nat Mosejo, who really does have the ability.
04:50 The following points, he's got already 10 points.
04:55 The high man, the other one, Clifford Hopia, has 11 points for the Sun Beda.
05:00 Gurtiza, extra pass.
05:03 Cliff and Nat Mosejo unable to get that shot to drop.
05:08 And again, Hopia's defense is being pushed.
05:14 Gomel Buno, together with Cortez.
05:18 Curling up the screen, a picturesque, just a basic play.
05:23 I can only say one thing, that's a Cortez special.
05:26 Oh yes. Curl, right?
05:28 Rejected by Hopia.
05:31 Three blocks in the game for Clifford Hopia.
05:33 Cortez, dancing against Gurtiza.
05:42 10 seconds remaining in the shot clock.
05:46 Love pass.
05:49 Oh, beautiful find by Berandino Bra.
05:52 Gomel Buno, and he's called for 3 seconds in the paint.
06:06 Alex Vizera will be set to come in, but in the meantime, it is a 9 point lead still for Sun Beda.
06:14 But in the meantime, it is a 9 point lead still for Sun Beda.
06:18 [MUSIC]
06:22 [MUSIC]
06:25 [MUSIC]
06:54 Earlier we saw a smile of the game, now it's time for our fan cam.
06:59 Good to see the fans, both young and old, watching here at the Phil Oil Echo Oil Center.
07:07 Sun Beda still with a 9 point lead against the EAC Generals.
07:12 What a better way to spend family day.
07:16 You're right there, Bartz.
07:19 These are the fans, they've seen Sun Beda through their glory days, I'm sure.
07:24 The days of JV Mocon, Robert Bolling, and all of the rest of the talented red lions that have been part of the campaign.
07:33 And of course, Sun Beda looking to try to reclaim their glory.
07:37 Because Prince, let's not forget, there will be a new champion this year.
07:41 Right, right.
07:42 There will be a new champion because Eletran is gone.
07:45 They've been officially eliminated from Final 4 Contention.
07:48 We will be crowning a new champion after 3 years.
07:51 And that's exciting, right?
07:53 A new team will be the champion.
07:56 This game is especially important because this will determine their place in Final 4.
08:03 And so if they really want a chance to get to that level, they need to fight for it.
08:12 I'm sure when Eletran was eliminated, all the teams suddenly woke up.
08:17 They were like, "Why not us?"
08:19 Derek Rose said that, "Why not?"
08:21 And who knows?
08:22 But of course, Jacob Cortez with another beauty penetrating in the paint.
08:26 9-point lead.
08:32 This has been the barrier that EAC has been trying to break so far.
08:36 Luciano, nowhere to go.
08:38 A pull-up tree will not fall.
08:45 Cortez is on the run once again after that.
08:47 Well, it didn't miss.
08:48 A tree.
08:50 A good one.
08:51 Against Ecosejo.
08:53 Over to Jacob.
08:55 Extra pass.
09:01 Beautiful inside.
09:02 And the poise and patience by Alex Vizier to still be able to finish.
09:08 It's nice to be the big man here in San Beto.
09:11 You just have to wait for the ball to come.
09:14 You're like a baby.
09:15 You're just trying to be a mother.
09:17 You just have to shoot.
09:18 Free.
09:21 Backed up and went to San Beto.
09:25 Over to Generals.
09:27 Those are the intangibles.
09:30 The fangirl of finish of the crossover.
09:37 James Paiyoseng putting on a show here in the third.
09:41 I told you earlier, what the coaches are saying.
09:44 Bring it to the top if you're blocked, go ahead.
09:47 But if not, you'll get a foul.
09:50 Good.
09:51 In this case, he threw it up.
09:53 He got the basket.
09:54 It's nice to watch.
09:55 I even got up.
09:56 Prince, what Paiyoseng showed was not a finger roll.
10:01 That was a fangirl.
10:02 Fangirl of the nasty crossover.
10:06 And then the fangirl all over the defense of the Generals.
10:11 You'll get a flex there.
10:13 You know that feeling after you lay up.
10:15 You'll get a flex there.
10:16 Nine points for Paiyoseng.
10:22 Paguliano, Pobose against Visser.
10:26 Step back.
10:28 Wais.
10:31 Wais is so waised there.
10:33 Kenyal just threw it.
10:36 Two free throws.
10:38 Back to a 13-point lead.
10:46 San Beto 50-37, 3-12 remaining.
10:51 Is it fair to say, Prince, we were expecting the energy of EAC to ramp up into third.
11:00 We saw the glimpses, but San Beto's execution in half court was really different.
11:04 Yes, that's right.
11:05 Their execution was so different to the point that their lead went down.
11:10 But I saw Coach Yuri and the players also, how they can compose.
11:14 Yes, that's the word.
11:15 How they can compose.
11:16 And you can see that their aura didn't panic.
11:21 They didn't rush.
11:23 They stuck to their system.
11:24 And now they're up 11 points.
11:27 Not bad.
11:28 But I just want to say again to EAC that if they can defend, just like how they defended when they let their lead go down, why not do it?
11:40 I mean, are you going to wait for them to make it hard for you?
11:43 When you're so new, right?
11:45 Things like that.
11:47 Why are you still cramming?
11:51 You can finish your assignment early.
11:55 Aaron Royo.
11:57 Vizere furnishing inside.
12:00 Vizere to Royo.
12:04 No, it's the other way around.
12:06 Royo to Vizere.
12:07 Beautiful ball win.
12:09 Just like what they said, you're just going to try your luck.
12:11 That's why Vizere got a basket.
12:14 Free throws will come for Alex Vizere after this timeout.
12:18 52-39 in favor of San Beto.
12:21 [music]
12:27 [music]
12:55 Our smiles of the game are continuing.
13:00 Is Prince Rivero smiling?
13:02 Maybe there's a chance because this man beside me has a lot to smile about.
13:06 Speaking of smiles, my friend is watching right now.
13:10 He's smiling.
13:11 I'm greeting you, brother Amis Sumang.
13:13 Hello to you.
13:14 Good morning.
13:17 Did he get hit?
13:20 He got hit.
13:22 He's excited.
13:23 Yes, it's airtime.
13:25 That's what you were saying earlier.
13:27 Yes, just a little.
13:28 Hey, this is the guy that has a lot to smile about.
13:32 My man, Prince Rivero.
13:33 Let's give a shoutout to Tito Gary.
13:35 Let's give a shoutout to Tito Gary, Gag Tita Angeli, and the Valenciano family, Martinez family, Rivero family.
13:42 Shoutout to all of you.
13:43 Love you all.
13:44 If you want to know the details, follow Prince on Instagram.
13:48 That's right.
13:49 That's where you'll find out. I feel like Prince's story will eventually go viral.
13:54 And of course, he's the one who won the HMF title.
13:58 Prince, you have shoes, right?
14:00 Shoes from Iluga.
14:01 That's right.
14:02 And you have a fiancé.
14:03 What a year for you.
14:04 Trophy.
14:05 Trophy from Iluga.
14:06 Trophy.
14:07 What a year it's been.
14:08 I hope it continues in 2024.
14:10 Definitely a rollercoaster year.
14:13 Yes.
14:16 Well, let's see if the same will apply to EAC because they got a win in their previous game.
14:21 They're not looking so hot as Eman Tagli, missing on that three-pointer.
14:27 But we know that this is a team that has been relentless, especially Ralph Robbie and Kain Ochabo.
14:34 There, they're still going.
14:35 Robin Reed.
14:38 Only 11 left.
14:40 Two minutes remaining in the third.
14:45 I think they need to maximize the lack of Cortez inside the defense of EAC
14:51 because this is their best chance to make Sanpeda feel that they need to rattle, panic because of the defense.
14:59 But of course, we saw that...
15:01 Muno.
15:02 He said he can do it.
15:03 Wait a minute. Even though they're not here in the lobby, I'm here.
15:08 What a move by Jommel Muno.
15:10 The extension.
15:12 And again, I ask you, how will he defend with that length and with the body of that drive?
15:20 Boy, this kid has a lot of years.
15:22 He has a lot of hardships.
15:25 He's going to have a headache as development will continue here for Jommel Muno.
15:36 Muno with four points and five rebounds to his name, averaging close to a double-double.
15:42 Libre from outside, that won't work.
15:48 For Kenyal.
15:50 Paul will sail away and go back to the Red Lions.
15:53 This is the bench of EAC looking for answers.
15:58 How to solve the height and the athleticism of Sanpeda on both ends.
16:07 This is the bone-crushing screen by Alex Visser in a look for Eman Tagre.
16:20 That is going to be a turnover.
16:22 [MUSIC]
16:32 He's going to have 22 remaining.
16:34 Still a 13-point lead.
16:36 Josejo.
16:38 Oh, my God.
16:40 A good looking.
16:41 He saw the mismatch, but he didn't see it.
16:44 That's it.
16:45 [MUSIC]
16:49 That is an offensive foul.
16:53 But if you look at it, he didn't make an effort in the offensive foul.
16:59 It was an opportunity for the head of number 77 to hit the ball.
17:08 Magulian is big.
17:10 All right, let's look at the remaining games.
17:12 Coach Gerson, Kabiltes, and the rest of the EAC generals, they have six games remaining.
17:19 And like we mentioned, they are in great position to go back into the final four after such a long time.
17:27 And of course, they can't miss that because they've won games against teams that they should have beaten in terms of the standings.
17:36 But there's still a lot of tough games heading their way.
17:39 And if you look at their next games, it's a great stepping stone for them to set the tone to the end of the second round and to the next level.
17:50 And of course, we'll see here what their preparations are or how their preparations are to reach that level.
17:58 And that will probably start here in this game.
18:00 Like I mentioned earlier, how their adjustments will be.
18:05 Now, it's really hard for them to get their groove.
18:09 Yuri Escueta and the rest of the Sunbed Red Lions are one of them.
18:14 But in our discussion, they've lost their first two games of the second round.
18:17 But that's enough. It's time to move on from those.
18:20 The problem though is that Arellano Chiefs and San Sebastian, these are two teams that are below them in the standings.
18:26 So same thing, the rest of their games are going to be tough.
18:29 Mapuha is there, Penil, JRU, LPU.
18:32 Their upcoming games are very tough.
18:34 So it's crucial that they get wins like this.
18:40 This is their third personal.
18:42 This is their preparation for their next games that will be tough and must win for the country.
18:52 Mangogliano has not had a good game to say the least, Prince.
19:00 Four points and four turnovers.
19:04 And if you remember their last game against Leblanc, 20 points and 90 rebounds.
19:08 We're losing but we still have a lot of time as EAC is in the zone.
19:14 Three-pointer will not fall. Mangogliano could not clear the board.
19:19 They're in the zone.
19:22 Royo is being pushed.
19:25 One more to get.
19:28 How does that happen?
19:30 That's a mortal sin for the defense.
19:33 You get an offensive rebound.
19:35 Guarding.
19:37 Tagde is getting a shot to fall.
19:40 He was able to get that shot.
19:45 JPMangogliano and Coach Gerson going with Erlan Umpad in the middle.
19:54 That's what's good about San Pedro. They're relentless when it comes to intangibles.
20:00 You saw how they were able to get the ball.
20:06 Both on offensive and defensive.
20:09 They were able to translate it.
20:12 A good offense.
20:14 That's what I think is lacking in the EAC team.
20:18 They're doing okay on defense but in the moments where they need to get the rebound, they're lacking.
20:25 San Pedro is maximizing it.
20:28 Clear point, Prince.
20:30 San Pedro is out. Rebounded EAC 38-23.
20:35 That is really the name of the game positions.
20:39 Tagle.
20:43 Mojo Tupuno.
20:44 Two-man game.
20:47 The crossover, the breakdown.
20:49 Inside to out. Pajosic for three. No goal.
20:53 14 seconds remaining.
20:55 Posejo.
20:56 Will get it over to Robin. Eight seconds.
21:00 Pull up three from route.
21:01 Robin is good from outside.
21:04 Can they get a stop?
21:06 That was a huge one to give them a little bit of vibes.
21:13 They needed that.
21:14 Out, to say the least.
21:17 As about to say, they still have time to leave but it's good that it went in for Robin.
21:22 But still a 10-point lead for the Red Lions as we enter the twilight zone of this game.
21:28 Fourth quarter.
21:29 This is NCAA Season 99, your heroes of the game.
21:33 ♪ Oh, oh, oh, oh ♪
21:34 ♪ One more run, one more ♪
