SportsTranscript
00:00 Notice the fact that Carly Hernandez is also a great start for Gallery's Tower.
00:04 Two points already for her. Samonte will give it up to Savvy Davison.
00:09 It was premature there. Premature.
00:12 Neybang Mabilangan with the serve. And here's Savvy.
00:16 Lefty push. Maruang keeping it alive. Longquillo denied at the net.
00:20 How about that save? And it's four touches now.
00:26 The architect will send that ball in. Carly with the receive.
00:30 Backside by Marzan. Down the line target.
00:33 PLDT keeps it alive. Free ball. Eroa says, "Ako na."
00:38 Mabilangan to the quick. Nice block by Majoy. Here's the counter.
00:42 Calf. Onto Savvy. Zone number one. Yes!
00:46 Oh! Good effort though on the side of Gallery's Tower.
00:50 And there, Marzan. Serve to Savvy who gets it back. Not the best of sets.
00:56 Scramble on the other end.
00:59 Tried to flick her wrist the right way. She was there. She just missed that last contact.
01:05 Misreceive. Fajardo chases. Ceballos will send it over the blockers.
01:10 Mabilangan. Back row hit.
01:13 Let's see how PLDT will counter. Piola could not score.
01:17 Mabilangan. Bit tight there for Carly.
01:20 But she sends it through. Calf. Back row. Savvy! Yes!
01:25 Let's see if she can be even more effective with that blocking of hers.
01:32 As Ronquillo targets down the line. Counter for PLDT. Savvy with a down the line of her own.
01:39 I practiced that part.
01:44 Carly Hernandez has a lot to do with it. They basically have two liberos on the floor.
01:49 She serves that ball in. Calf. Opens up. Lefty tip for Savvy.
01:54 Mabilangan. Tough angle right there.
01:57 Samonte. Back to Davison. Off speed. That goes through.
02:01 Chase. Rene. Ronquillo. Free ball. Calf with a smile.
02:06 Calf also with a smile. And that's Davison going across.
02:10 Carola with a frown there. Because Sola says, "Move! Give me my space!"
02:16 On her second conference with Galeries Tower, Savvy with a nice receive.
02:21 And she attacks. Usually, that's how it is. You receive it. You're the one who's going to fly.
02:27 20 serving 18. Savvy. That's in. Receive for Sola. Missed. Receive. Go.
02:33 You want to play? I'll play another. Another spot. Another position.
02:39 Here's Savvy Davison. Shola Alvarez keeping it alive.
02:43 Back set to France. To no avail. Quick. Ooh, there's another dive.
02:48 Good save. It's all worth it. But a chance ball for PLDT.
02:52 They open up. Savvy with a cross.
02:55 Oh, good effort. Still by Aroa. You know, she got a hand at that.
02:59 But a matchup to watch.
03:01 Van Sinkle, or Brooke Van Sinkle, was the MVP in the recently concluded PNVF Champions League.
03:07 They defeated Signal HD in the finals.
03:10 As Davison, 2 serving 0. A much better start for PLDT in this set.
03:16 De Leon serves it sharply. Chance ball.
03:21 Careful choose. Savvy again. And that's another point for Savvy Davison.
03:27 And why not go to Davison, maybe?
03:29 And that's her total. 1 in 3. 13 points in this game.
03:33 Very observant.
03:36 Chance now for PLDT. They go back to Savvy.
03:39 Mabilangan getting that ball up.
03:43 And that's a good read. Davison once more. Off speed.
03:48 Carly Hernandez with the dig. Donquillo.
03:51 Nope. Chase. Another chance ball.
03:55 Devalios. Pajardo. Davison!
04:01 Top spin. Look at the follow through. It looked like a miss it, but just enough top spin to get him to clip the line.
04:08 Gave him the confidence to kick start their campaign strong in this conference.
04:12 They're showing in their off season prep.
04:14 Had him describe his team as a blessing.
04:17 As he says, and I quote, "I have no complaints."
04:20 Coach also adds how the difference maker is going to be how much more focused they've become.
04:25 Not just to get a good start.
04:26 If they're in the same position of Coach Roderick Afort, this is a privilege for you to coach.
04:31 A talented team such as PLDT with Madjoy Baron setting things up for Savvy Davison.
04:38 Yeah, but it's not as easy as people think.
04:41 Yeah, this is it. That's it. You have to make the changes.
04:44 It's the hardest job to do for the coaches.
04:47 That just made me remember.
04:48 He might not have trades in the PBL, but we're going to have a draft sometime soon.
04:53 Down the line for Savi Davidson.
04:55 (audience laughing)
