00:00 Reset for round two is very much important to reflect what you can improve on to the next round.
00:05 Rubin getting the first two points here in the first set, coming off an impressive 14-point performance.
00:25 A setup for Arringo, and that one off the block and he scores their first point.
00:31 That game versus Lasal, 20 big points.
00:41 A setup for Rubin, oh misdirection there. Retamar to the pipe, Almendras popped up by UP,
00:51 underhand set, chance ball and you. Sumagi to play center, Disketado will attack and he puts it down.
00:58 Another nice serve from Gambon, a setup job for Jade, Disketado putting that one to the bleachers.
01:08 That's a great set from Retamar to Disketado. Nine serving three.
01:15 One-handed set, Arringo.
01:20 Referee's seeing that one is outside.
01:26 Combination, Lipata. Buhay pa rin. Owas sends it over, free ball UP. Back set,
01:40 Jelai. Stuff block there for the Bulldogs. The unforced errors.
01:45 They choose Disketado. Soft touch works for Jade. Momentum to catch up here in the opening set.
01:57 Santiago tried to dump it down. Retamar now sends it high. Almendras manages to score.
02:12 First ball, Almendras back to Nico. Outpowering the blockers, trims this lead down to two.
02:19 Almost a lucky break there for UP. Almendras pushes it over.
02:25 Middle attack, Jesse Rubin scoring his fourth point. Jesse Rubin as of late has been finding
02:38 his rhythm here. He keeps on gambling it to their middles now to change up things for the blockers.
02:45 Tall Bulldogs in front of him.
02:49 Legando, slow down. Mokaba, great presence of mind finding the opening.
03:03 That one goes in. Legando, service ace. Part of Legando after that last serve, dropped in at the last second.
03:13 Back set, Arringo.
03:25 Great counter there for the Bulldogs. Three points is at the mound. Sumagi, first ball.
03:32 Retamar, a set up for Nico. That one catches the line. Close matches in their last few matches.
03:41 A lot more caution here for the Fighting Maroons. First ball, Arringo. Almendras from the open.
03:49 A good decision there. Looking to maximize his stint here at the service line with a full front line.
03:55 Target Gamban, Santiago to the left pin. Loiza finds the line.
04:02 There were two blockers in front of him. And he saw that with a lot of spin, he can take advantage of that and just target the corner of zone 5.
04:14 That's second time now in the set. Two away for UP. Back set, Almendras.
04:21 Again, Almendras set to serve.
04:26 Tight set there. Legando simply sends it over. Sumagi to play center.
04:36 What an attack there for the rookie.
04:39 Yeah, it's a point for NU.
04:49 So they have to execute here.
04:54 Lepata, not the best first ball. Pump set Legando. Yeah, looks like a violation.
05:09 Lepata, Santiago. Quick Rubin. Sumagi with a nice dig and Almendras making things happen.
05:16 Service ace, first one of the day. Retamar heating up here to start off.
05:32 First ball, Jade, miscue. Santiago the set. Lepata the attack, but the denial by Nico Almendras.
05:41 Chose to go across court, but Nico was there waiting for that block. Impressive single block coverage, something we don't usually see.
05:55 Sumagi, Owa, Almendras.
06:03 Back set, back row, Almendras.
06:08 There's a little bright spot there with two points. Sumagi with the first pass.
06:20 Should have not seen them much this game, but finally being utilized there.
06:26 Making it look so easy against the double block.
06:33 Retamar, tight to the net. One-handed set, Disquetado on the cross.
06:45 Mp managing to string a couple of points here. Sumagi, first pass, back set, Jade attacks.
06:53 Santiago, Luchus, Gamban, puts it down. Oh, what a kill there from Loiza Gamban.
07:01 How did it work? The last couple of points, that's why coach Dante opts to put a ring go.
07:13 Sumagi overpass.
07:15 Gamban will send it over, and a miscue between Sumagi and Disquetado.
07:22 Their miscue that is. Retamar will choose Jade.
07:36 What a ball, let's take a look at that one more time guys.
07:39 Obed Mokaba taking out the blockers of youth, all alone there from the back.
07:45 A better serve there by Mokaba, almost a regalo, yes it was for Taguibolos.
07:52 Oh, lucky break. Obed Mokaba with a service ace.
08:02 Gamban, powerful attack, nice pop by Disquetado. Almendras sends it across.
08:11 Santiago this time, back to Loiza.
08:15 And give it to Arringo. Almendras elevates, intelligent play for Nico Almendras.
08:30 Up serve, Nepata puts it up, giving it to the open. Gamban squeezes it, pass through the blockers.
08:38 Almendras, Owa, back to Almendras, sent outside by the hands of Pupil.
08:56 Santiago, to the open, that one returned. Santiago this time reverses. Lagando will get the point.
09:04 Good hit there from Lagando.
09:07 They target Almendras. Retamar targets Disquetado. That time it was checked. Santiago for Nepata he goes.
09:23 They need not overpower the blockers of NU.
09:27 So Maggi, nice first ball, back row Almendras. Gamban with the coverage.
09:33 Regalo, but a great floor defense by Gamban. And Jelai Lagando.
09:44 UP, so down by two here Rubin on the service line. Retamar, back set, Arringo.
09:51 Another one blocker, Taguibolos. Lagando, sharp cross court kill. Good choice there.
10:08 On the floor defense of NU was able to reach it and defend it. Oh, set point and a service error.
10:15 Give NU their second set win here.
10:20 And a speedy recovery.
10:23 Give and go, J. Disquetado.
10:33 Three serving one now. Moisa, nice first pass. Lagando elevates and he approaches.
10:40 Good set there from Santiago. At the mound.
10:45 Target Disquetado, overpass, Malabanan making them pay for that one.
10:54 See Owa Retamar to his attackers. Jade, Owa, Leo, Arringo.
11:02 Making it look so easy. Most of his points from today's game have been off the block-ish.
11:10 Will hurt UP, right? When they watch it again. Because they're keeping it close.
11:15 But sometimes when they have unforced errors, they let it get in their head
11:20 and they give the momentum back to NU. Through playing and through time. So
11:25 really trust the process here, as cliche as it sounds. In the meantime, Jelay Lagando,
11:31 speaking of trusting the process. It was just that Nicolas and Malabanan wasn't ready for the block.
11:37 That was an overpass already. Nicolas, pinabawi.
11:49 Almendras, first ball, give and go. Nico, another point.
11:53 Hit that 16 now. Wow. Retamar now with a full front line.
12:00 What a serve.
12:03 Another nice serve, overpass and Almendras happily accepting that regalo.
12:15 Quick tagebolos. Robin at the mound. A target gamban. Backset for Lagando.
12:30 Sumagian, Almendras.
12:39 Desquitada with the first ball. Jade elevates. Gamban ups it. Santiago sends it to Malabanan.
12:45 Going behind the blockers. That's a nice shot there by Malabanan. Amazing touch there.
12:51 11 serving 14 now.
12:55 They've been targeting Desquitada this whole game. Jade off the block. Count the points.
13:05 That's a good decision and a strategy for a setter because normally the blockers wouldn't expect
13:10 for the setter to go back to the passer because of the off timing. That's a good play from NU.
13:16 Santiago wants the quick one. What a block there by Obed Mokaba. He's timing it perfectly.
13:29 Backset to the back row. Desquitado. Retamar wants the back row for Jade Desquitado.
13:36 Three players in double figures.
13:40 Met by a wall. Malabanan tried to swipe back coverage by Arringo. Almendras the hot hand.
13:50 Santiago this time goes to the pipe.
13:53 Niko goes cross.
14:04 Retamar tried to dump it down and mission accomplished there despite the over receive.
14:19 He said simplify it.
14:23 One way to simplify it for a team that's rebuilding.
14:27 Miss cue for NU. Combination. Count the points.
14:38 There was a net touch.
14:45 Automatic. Malabanan targeted the setup for Lagando. Stuff block to end this game. Who else?
