00:00 Still looking for a breakout game as Jamie said in the pregame.
00:05 Licauco quick.
00:07 To Guzman.
00:08 Well score.
00:10 First point of the Blue Eagles.
00:12 Straight to Gamban. Santiago.
00:17 Combination play. That one returned.
00:19 Gamban from the back.
00:22 Picked up by Licauco.
00:23 Ukeke, secondary setter.
00:25 Salarzon, that one checked out.
00:28 Santiago.
00:33 Quickly to Nicolás.
00:35 Met at the net.
00:36 Double block time for Ateneo.
00:38 Salarzon.
00:39 You can see that they're in pretty much unison here with that block.
00:42 That double block.
00:44 And blocking has been one of their strengths.
00:46 Three of their players are in the top ten for blocking.
00:49 In the meantime, Jelay.
00:51 Drop ball.
00:53 Dive there by the Guzman.
00:55 Santiago.
00:57 Tried to go one-two.
00:59 Licauco to Batas.
01:01 That one catches the line.
01:03 Trying to avoid the defensive pattern of your opponent.
01:07 I mean it's very hard to read those corner blocks.
01:09 Explosive here.
01:10 Had a scary fall in their last game but seems to be okay.
01:13 Santiago, bump set.
01:15 Loisa.
01:17 Plots it down.
01:18 Now that's the set that Gamban likes.
01:20 Came to go either cross court or down the line as you can see here on your screens.
01:25 Completely avoiding the pass.
01:27 Sharp serve.
01:31 Santiago.
01:32 Toroben.
01:33 Automatic.
01:34 That's a beautiful 8-quick attack.
01:36 Utilize these simple plays and eventually elevate your game.
01:40 Take a look at that 8-quick attack.
01:42 You gotta stay prepared in moments like these though, Jamie.
01:47 I mean you're in the lineup for a reason.
01:49 You just have to be prepared always.
01:51 Batas.
01:53 Eusebio with a dive.
01:55 Lecalco opens up Okeke.
01:58 Sent back by the blockers of UB.
02:02 Timing that perfectly but take a look at the defense here of UB.
02:06 Eusebio, Gamban.
02:08 I mean the attack of Okeke.
02:15 Redemption game for Atameo.
02:17 Merzano.
02:19 Santiago.
02:20 Lagando.
02:22 Very confident with that attack.
02:25 Lefty opposite.
02:27 There's a lot of benefits when it comes to being a lefty on the opposite.
02:30 You can go down the line, you can go cross court.
02:33 Still targeting Okeke.
02:39 Batas.
02:41 Santiago. Lagando from the opposite side.
02:46 And that one goes inside.
02:50 In that rally, take a look at that corner pocket of zone 1.
02:55 Like I said earlier, a lot of the attacks are in zone 5.
02:58 It's really benefiting Atameo.
03:00 Gamban. Cross court.
03:05 That one goes.
03:07 Outside spiker of your opponent will target that middle blocker.
03:11 That middle blocker there, you see Deguzman.
03:14 Not in the right position.
03:17 Nice first ball.
03:21 Set back by the blockers.
03:24 Chance ball time for Atameo.
03:26 Licauco will go back row.
03:29 Overpass by Lagando.
03:31 Atameo, another chance.
03:33 And Okeke who puts it down.
03:35 Licauco setting up Okeke once again for that back row attack.
03:40 Take a look at the block there on Yuti.
03:45 With the help of the net, that one goes across.
03:48 Lagando from the high set.
03:50 Met again by the blockers of Atameo.
03:54 Went to set him and went not to set him.
03:56 One on one. Deguzman says no.
04:01 Entry. Swinger one.
04:04 Not today. Deguzman.
04:07 Explored defense was what provided that energy in that last game.
04:11 Nice to see him score right away.
04:13 In the meantime, combination play.
04:15 Salarzon off the swipe.
04:17 When Atameo wants to get that instant side out, you got to go to the open spiker.
04:23 Back row attack. Salarzon.
04:30 That has been automatic in this entire game.
04:34 Mgwalabnan goes to the middle in the Kula.
04:41 And again.
04:43 Actually being successful.
04:45 Nice serve.
04:47 Mgwalabnan to Okeke from the left pin.
04:52 At the service line.
04:54 Samaniego kneeling set.
04:58 Combination play for Lagando.
05:00 That one works.
05:02 To set.
05:06 Okeke.
05:07 To set from Mgwalabnan.
05:11 Better serve by Okeke.
05:14 Samaniego will go to Bersano.
05:17 Salarzon rolls it.
05:21 Almost but not quite.
05:23 Mgwalabnan will choose Batas from the right side.
05:29 Lagando gets it across.
05:34 Quick attack. Deguzman no.
05:36 Eusebio bumps set.
05:38 Here comes Lagando who's blocked by Deguzman and Gian Salarzon.
05:43 Those are the points they celebrate most when they get those blocks.
05:47 I mean you work so hard in training hours and hours of blocking drills.
05:52 As Nicolas says, try blocking this one.
05:55 You can never tell.
05:57 Samaniego.
06:01 Back to Nicolas.
06:03 Too good, Nicolas.
06:06 Mgwalabnan.
06:09 Back set. Batas.
06:11 And a stuffed block for UP.
06:14 Timing as well.
06:15 We're also seeing a different type of body language we did not see in the first set for UP.
06:20 Give it to Ken Batas.
06:24 Back row attack.
06:25 Jelai will try.
06:26 Deguzman with the pick up.
06:28 Salarzon.
06:30 Roll that one.
06:32 I mean those are the tricky plays.
06:35 De Castro. Beautiful, steady defense and receive by Lance.
06:40 That's good.
06:44 Speaking of.
06:46 Samaniego goes running.
06:48 De Castro was there.
06:50 UP here chance to counter.
06:55 And the blockers, Sabateneya prevailing once again.
06:59 Mgwalabnan.
07:00 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:02 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:04 Mgwalabnan.
07:05 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:07 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:09 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:11 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:13 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:15 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:17 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:19 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:21 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:23 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:25 Back to Mgwalabnan.
07:27 A sharp serve.
07:29 Samaniego will go to Malabanan.
07:32 Deflected at the net.
07:34 Mgwalabnan with the chase.
07:36 O'Keki.
07:37 Wow.
07:38 I'm just surprised he got that one across.
07:42 And very stable I would say in this match.
07:46 De Castro with the first pass.
07:49 O'Keki will elevate.
07:51 The pick up there by Bersano.
07:53 Malabanan denied at the net.
07:56 Loiza Gamban.
07:58 Give it straight to Gamban.
08:04 Deflected at the net.
08:05 Back set.
08:06 Batas will try.
08:07 And Batas will score.
08:09 Mgwalabnan at the chase.
08:15 Batas again with the crosscourt this time.
08:19 Nice.
08:20 They've been targeting Bersano.
08:30 Batas again.
08:35 I think that goes outside.
08:37 A little too strong.
08:39 Nice serve.
08:42 Samaniego.
08:43 It was back set.
08:44 Loiza, no.
08:47 De Guzman on the quick.
08:49 Enjoying the action.
08:53 The best first ball there for Eusebio.
08:56 Mgwalabnan will open up.
08:58 O'Keki.
09:00 Very smart play for him.
09:03 That one barely got across.
09:05 Bersano will push it forward.
09:07 Chance ball for Ateneo.
09:08 De Guzman.
09:10 Two away for the Blue Eagles.
09:16 It's Bersano who had to adjust.
09:18 Miscue on the set.
09:20 Free ball for the Fighting Maroons.
09:22 Rubin sent back.
09:24 Gamban.
09:25 Drop ball.
09:27 What a dive by De Castro.
09:29 O'Keki puts it down.
09:31 De Castro.
09:37 Mgwalabnan.
09:39 Back row.
09:41 Salarzon finishes the game.
09:43 Beautiful set.
09:45 That just goes to show that you won't have the same style of
09:49 setters.
09:50 You will only have one setting style.
09:52 Clearly coach Timmy is liking what he's seeing.
09:55 UP opens this up.
09:57 Castro, nice first ball.
10:03 Back row to Salarzon.
10:05 Lagando from the opposite side.
10:09 He will score again.
10:11 >> Definitely, yeah.
10:13 >> They go to Batas.
10:21 Batas will score.
10:23 >> They are already there but sometimes there's a hole in the
10:26 block or there's a lack of press.
10:28 >> Regalo happily accepted by De Guzman.
10:31 >> Really the middle blockers of Ateneo that's giving UP a hard
10:34 time here.
10:36 Samaniego will have to chase for that set.
10:39 Lagando was denied but it goes out.
10:42 Nicolás with five points will be serving.
10:45 Jan.
10:47 Samaniego will go to Mgwalabnan.
10:53 He rolls it.
10:55 Moreta tried to dump it down.
10:57 De Castro with the coverage.
10:59 Chance ball for UP.
11:01 Samaniego will go to Mgwalabnan.
11:03 As they take back the set.
11:05 >> That's a good ball.
11:07 >> Mgwalabnan.
11:09 As they take back the lead.
11:11 >> Wow.
11:18 >> Monster kill by Dakulaj.
11:20 >> Has that solid first six and because of that they are able to
11:23 hone their skills together.
11:25 That's the difference between UP.
11:28 When you constantly change the first six in terms of gelling
11:33 and chemistry it will be difficult.
11:36 >> That's a good ball.
11:38 >> Nice first ball by De Castro.
11:40 >> Running Dakulaj.
11:42 Finding the donut hole.
11:44 >> That is when you are supposed to play your best.
11:47 So far Ateneo has been doing that.
11:49 >> Over the seat.
11:51 You know what?
11:53 Don't worry pal.
11:55 I got you.
11:57 >> A bit of a cushion here.
11:59 11-9.
