00:00 Cobb will serve. 1-0 score.
00:05 That is...
00:09 Most likely, he can score a few more drop balls.
00:12 Cobb in the middle. Soltanes hammers that.
00:18 In the air we go. The cut shot. Laksina.
00:21 Cobb gets it. From the middle we go.
00:24 With Nispert. This one blocked by Sharma.
00:30 Fifi Sharma and Rachel Soltanes timing that rather perfectly well.
00:36 Buffs it from Irvina.
00:39 Sarate. Walang dadaanan.
00:41 It's nice to see them through the years. In the meantime, here comes the serve.
00:45 6-4 count here.
00:47 Cobb goes to the rear.
00:51 Manabat with a good strike but in play.
00:54 That is blocked.
00:56 Fifi Sharma again timing her block in that last ball perfectly well.
01:01 She blocked it. She just let the set go to the other side.
01:06 Uh-oh.
01:17 This one is caught.
01:19 Cal.
01:21 Playing long now.
01:23 Soltanes like a libero.
01:25 Is it in? It is.
01:27 About three Japanese coaches and they are preaching almost the same thing.
01:31 Keep the ball in play.
01:33 There's a lot that can happen in a rally.
01:35 Oh, look at this.
01:37 5-6, 7-8, 9.
01:39 That's their fourth kill block on the set.
01:42 And it's a 9-0.
01:43 They are the most agile inside the court.
01:45 And they know how to read the spikes and the services of the opponents.
01:50 Sometimes, if your teammate is asking for help, ask for help from the receive.
01:53 They should be helped.
01:55 You can't hide it.
01:57 Because, what is that?
01:59 Oh, it's a mess.
02:01 Next letter and the point.
02:03 Cal kept on going to the pins.
02:05 They have been blocking their wings for a while.
02:07 Oh, what is that?
02:09 Oh, it's a mess.
02:11 He improved his game a lot.
02:16 It's a big one.
02:18 Forward.
02:19 Manabat.
02:20 Cal.
02:21 No chance to elevate.
02:23 Soltanes sending it to the back row.
02:25 Here's the attack.
02:27 This is what Coach is teaching them.
02:33 Because there's a lot to watch.
02:35 It has to be a split-second decision.
02:37 Oh, good.
02:39 Dump.
02:40 For a next leg.
02:41 Watch this.
02:42 What a dive rebound.
02:43 Credit half that point to Andienza.
02:45 Because she loaded up on the serve.
02:47 Properly on the floor for the chargers.
02:49 Manabat.
02:56 Cal.
02:57 Good test set.
02:58 Bullet.
02:59 Handled well by Danny Rebana.
03:04 This time, targeting that very long cross-court area.
03:08 Even in the serve, she was doing it.
03:12 Luna has power.
03:13 Every shot of Luna.
03:15 23-17 is our score.
03:18 Cobb.
03:20 This one is a big shot by Domingo.
03:23 Luna fires away.
03:25 Handled by Pineda.
03:26 Cobb sets it up.
03:28 Dindin Manabat changes her mind.
03:30 This one is a tap.
03:33 Misperas reaches for it.
03:35 Pipe attack!
03:37 Off-system set.
03:38 Gretchel Soltan scores her fifth point.
03:41 That's pure power.
03:42 Aww.
03:43 And she started playing for Lesalzapito.
03:47 How soft is this set?
03:49 In the meantime, this is blocked.
03:51 And kept alive.
03:53 A chance to score an attack.
03:56 Cobb goes to Manabat.
03:57 It is foiled.
03:59 Reached by Victoria.
04:00 The set by Cal.
04:03 Pushed up by Soltan.
04:04 Free ball given.
04:05 Kept alive nonetheless.
04:07 Cal calibrates.
04:09 Pineda plays.
04:11 Swimming for that one.
04:13 Hello, the crowd is into it.
04:16 Ravenna has to dump it over.
04:19 Yes, the set is over.
04:24 People making the contributions here.
04:26 A lot of spikers contributing for Akari.
04:30 Not just in attacking.
04:31 She's a setter.
04:32 What kind of ball is she?
04:34 To give to the attackers.
04:36 To give them a better one.
04:38 The role of the libero is to soften the ball.
04:40 Yes.
04:41 I agree.
04:43 Akari playing really well here in this game.
04:46 Next, they have to change their body language
04:50 if they want to win a set in this match against Akari.
04:53 What a shot coming from Nispera.
04:56 She's surprised that it's still alive.
04:58 But she's alert that she has to get back into position.
05:01 Cobb.
05:02 Oh, that's nothing.
05:03 That is blocked.
05:07 The blocking is still there.
05:08 It's intact.
05:09 Are you converted or from the start you're a setter?
05:14 From the start.
05:16 From grade school all the way to high school.
05:19 And to college.
05:20 And professionally.
05:21 We've got a lively rally going on here.
05:24 Oh, great dive.
05:25 Yes, it's still alive.
05:26 Yes, it's still alive.
05:30 Horvina.
05:31 The other libero is there.
05:32 Net play.
05:35 Bang.
05:36 Lethal outside hitter in Dredge.
05:39 Oh, no.
05:40 A chance to serve.
05:43 Zipped against the block.
05:46 It's still in play.
05:47 Nispera shooting on the way down.
05:54 Maraginot sets it up.
05:57 Cobb reverses.
05:59 Oh, Sharma.
06:01 What a play there.
06:04 Because we're just scoring.
06:08 We're serving.
06:09 At least the first serve after the point.
06:11 Let's make a point again.
06:12 Yes, you can make the serve heavier from there.
06:14 Cobb.
06:16 Neatly done.
06:19 Wow, wow, wow, Sef.
06:21 That must be the most powerful hit of the conference so far
06:26 for Seth Domingo wearing black and magenta for the Akadi Chargers.
06:31 Make this a little more competitive for them.
06:34 They need a string of points, no?
06:36 Yes.
06:37 To not cut their own momentum.
06:39 Yes, that's even a better point.
06:41 Cobb playing the back row.
06:43 Bang makes it a set.
06:44 Foiled.
06:45 Well done by the blockers.
06:46 They knew that that set was going to go to Din Din.
06:49 So they went there and covered that area.
06:52 That's what you're telling me.
06:54 Press it properly.
06:55 You shouldn't rush it.
06:56 You have to time it.
06:57 Catch!
07:03 No one in the kitchen.
07:05 They can go 2-2-2 with the Chargers.
07:08 Got a string of points going.
07:11 Cobb.
07:12 Manabat finds the open space.
07:15 It's because they have the first ball passes that they need already in the second set
07:21 to activate their wingers.
07:23 Get it over the net.
07:26 Try to replay the point.
07:27 Block and defend.
07:28 But it didn't go in.
07:30 And too much gap.
07:32 Adjust.
07:34 Soltanes and corks.
07:38 I would give it back to Soltanes but Cobb has other ideas.
07:44 She knows better of course.
07:46 Maradinho.
07:47 Oh!
07:48 Cobb!
07:49 Soltanes!
07:50 Wow.
07:52 All the usual analysis.
07:55 Full front line and that.
07:56 But it's still a tough job.
07:58 But you do it.
07:59 Cobb.
08:01 Chalmers denied entry.
08:03 Who gets to attack?
08:05 Soltanes.
08:06 Mambo Lubnan was there.
08:10 This one crosses the net.
08:13 Back row attack.
08:14 Last time against Petrogas they couldn't get that kind of game going.
08:25 Next left we're not having heart here.
08:27 They're trying their earnest best.
08:28 They're trying to make a game out of it.
08:30 Win the second set.
08:31 Cobb sets this up.
08:33 Blocked.
08:38 Married off.
08:40 Played.
08:41 Back row at work.
08:42 Back row at work.
08:43 Cobb.
08:45 Faith makes some adjustments.
08:50 The toss was raised.
08:53 There!
08:54 Alas!
08:55 Head by six.
08:56 It's 2-2-2 now.
08:58 This is Faith.
08:59 That's her second service ace.
09:01 Ah!
09:02 Sometimes the empty area.
09:08 The assistant coaches are open challenge.
09:10 They're doing a lot.
09:11 Fuck!
09:13 Many of them watch these games again.
09:15 To scout the opponents.
09:17 They're in the game.
09:19 They'll watch again.
09:20 Cobb.
09:24 Desperos.
09:25 Out of reach.
09:26 It's a dip coming from Laika.
09:28 Their favorite in that section.
09:30 Here's Desperos.
09:32 Cobb.
09:33 He's pushed too.
09:35 And we're at the set point.
09:38 Akari.
09:39 Soyud with Maraginot this time for the Chargers.
09:42 Ah!
09:47 They keep their hopes alive here no matter how slim.
09:50 24-19 is the count.
09:52 Spike the four points.
09:53 Three points.
09:54 I don't think that'll ever happen.
09:56 In the meantime, Maraginot.
09:58 And...
10:00 Soyud ends it.
10:01 That brings us to the conclusion of the second set.
10:05 So far, she actually describes it to me as a good experience stemming from lots of things.
10:10 And how it's better for the...
10:12 Can't count on that challenge all the time.
10:14 A fake in sync.
10:20 That is...
10:21 Hit out.
10:23 Cross court.
10:30 As you're falling.
10:32 Especially the not so powerful hits from the opponents.
10:36 Blocked.
10:39 Kept in play by Maraginot.
10:40 Ebon.
10:42 Blocked!
10:43 This has been the story of this game as we reach the first technical timeout.
10:47 If I'm playing and I make a service error, I know that.
10:51 Maybe I was complimented.
10:52 Me.
10:53 If you're playing, I'm complimenting.
10:55 I won't notice you.
10:56 To continue.
10:57 And that's another point for Fifi.
11:01 Laksina to Kyle.
11:04 This whip is to an open spot by Luna.
11:07 Especially if it's been happening...
11:10 When it's been happening since set one.
11:12 For four or five times, which have been beneficial to the other side.
11:17 Bang Pineda yelling at them to keep that in play.
11:21 They zip it over.
11:22 Kyle.
11:23 Oh!
11:25 Wow!
11:26 It's Michelle Kao blocking that.
11:28 Kao blocking it.
11:30 Against Ivy Laksina.
11:32 Yes.
11:33 Who brought it on the motorcycle.
11:35 We're attacking.
11:36 One-two.
11:37 One-two play.
11:38 That's why they call us setter.
11:40 One-two.
11:41 One-two.
11:42 That's a surprise.
11:43 Yes.
11:44 Oh, it's a Domingo.
11:45 They found a way to activate the other spikers.
11:49 Their middle blockers.
11:50 Not only Santiago but also Gretchen Stoltonis.
11:53 That's what made them very effective when it comes to attacking here in this game.
11:57 I correct myself, it's 15-10 still.
11:59 And that'll make it 15-11 officially.
12:02 For sure, that's what they've been craving for since set one.
12:06 The scoring run.
12:07 Yes.
12:08 Mentes.
12:10 He's trying to do something.
12:11 Oh!
12:13 He died in the water.
12:14 Middle. I knew it.
12:16 Ha ha ha!
12:17 What's that?
12:18 He's just looking.
12:19 Sometimes he's just looking.
12:21 Kindak.
12:22 They're working together.
12:24 Good set.
12:25 Oh!
12:26 Oh!
12:27 Domingo may have hurt herself there.
12:30 She's back in action like a ballet dancer.
12:34 With that shot.
12:35 Oh!
12:36 What a red hot shot by Dindin!
12:37 He doesn't follow and may power from Dindin.
12:39 You know, with this tennis, you can see the ball of the next net.
12:48 It's easy to hit.
12:49 Playable.
12:53 Over it.
12:55 He raised it.
12:56 It's over.
12:57 He didn't make it.
13:00 That's like an Ebon hit.
13:03 You know, Acari is one of the top two teams in blocking in stats in the tournament.
13:09 It was a cut.
13:11 Still alive here.
13:13 Yes, it is!
13:14 No whistle, we play on.
13:16 Ah, a little too much.
13:20 I think Domingo has been hurt earlier.
13:23 Yes.
13:24 Ebon serve.
13:30 Pinuch.
13:32 Misultones.
13:33 Ebon standing spike.
13:35 Bob, this is what Shama and his team do.
13:41 Acari, the winger, hitter, or middles.
13:45 Good.
13:51 May Luna.
13:52 Third set, first two sets belong to Acari.
13:57 Net.
13:59 Kept in play.
14:01 Attack.
14:02 Saw it.
14:03 Laksina is there.
14:04 Cal.
14:05 From the back row.
14:06 It's still alive.
14:07 This is a broken play.
14:09 We are ad-libbing here.
14:11 Cal.
14:12 Middle.
14:13 Attack.
14:14 And that's too hot.
14:15 Wow.
14:18 Why net?
14:19 Because in the next game, we might be able to reach it.
14:21 Shama.
14:24 No.
14:28 Fifty-two far away.
14:29 Here we go.
14:33 Cal, the center.
14:34 Combination.
14:38 Return to center.
14:39 The Spaniards are all dressed up but nowhere to go.
14:41 We can get four or five points.
14:43 They have a stretch of two or three.
14:45 Because they can.
14:47 They can.
14:48 And we end it right there.
14:52 It's 25 to 20.
14:54 I don't think any challenge would be necessary.
14:57 It's a straight set win for Acari.
