00:00 As compared to the first time that they met in the first round.
00:03 We did see a lot of injuries come for Ateneo late in round number one.
00:10 But still they're able to get good victories against UST.
00:13 Cross court hit, nice dig by Mangulabnan.
00:16 And it's Ken Batas.
00:17 Coverage is there.
00:19 Batas again down the line.
00:22 He's still in the game and he's performing as well as he scores that point for UP.
00:29 2-1 for the Maroons.
00:31 Batas from the other angle.
00:32 Beautiful read.
00:33 Take a look at that last attack.
00:37 Drop shot, very wide open space in the defense of UP.
00:42 Team captain, Daniel Nicolás serves for UP.
00:46 Basinho with the receive.
00:48 Backs it by Jan.
00:49 Nice!
00:50 That looked really good for Ken Batas.
00:52 13-9.
01:03 Basinho, two points to his name.
01:05 Strong serve again.
01:06 Mangulabnan off of his receive.
01:09 What a dig by the league's best in Lanz De Castro.
01:13 And it leads on to that hit by Ken Batas.
01:15 Take a look at that drop shot.
01:21 They have right now, let's see if Mangulabnan can step up.
01:23 Not the best of receives and it's Batas.
01:29 Dug up onto the other end.
01:33 Ken again!
01:34 Then again, you'll take it if you're at Dineo.
01:37 Takulan sends it in off of the float.
01:41 Mangulabnan giving up a chance ball.
01:44 Sorry, that was Malabanan.
01:48 And it's Batas who scores again.
01:50 It's a deadly coach flip because Dineo has been reading the defense of UP.
01:55 More specifically, Kennedy Batas.
01:57 That's right.
01:58 Gets a block point alongside Jet Gopio.
02:01 That's Ken.
02:05 14 serving 22.
02:08 Received by Basinho.
02:12 Gopio reaching for it.
02:14 Gamban with a dig.
02:16 Eusebio onto Jelay.
02:17 Kind of low.
02:18 And here's JV Malabanan.
02:20 Ball put up by Ateneo.
02:21 Back set.
02:22 Batas!
02:23 What a set number one.
02:25 He's in double figures.
02:26 23-14.
02:30 Ken Batas.
02:31 Signature jump serve.
02:33 Inside.
02:34 Have your way.
02:36 So ready for Ateneo here in the first set.
02:38 Let's take a look at that.
02:39 Excellent target right at the corner.
02:43 Their blockers will be close.
02:46 So there's still this chance for Ateneo.
02:48 There's still this space in between.
02:49 So a lot of area.
02:51 Gamban off of three blockers.
02:54 That's put up by Ateneo.
02:56 And now it's Batas.
02:57 Scramble.
03:00 And the point for Ken again.
03:02 The defense of UP.
03:03 You know, he's really making them guessing what he's going to do.
03:06 And that one off the hands of the blocker.
03:08 That's MVP-like numbers.
03:11 That's right.
03:11 So I think, you know, these are also numbers that should be looked at.
03:16 Not just the scoring numbers, but the defense, the reception.
03:20 That really counts for a lot in terms of how well.
03:24 Received by Crisostomo.
03:28 Mamulabdan to the open.
03:30 Batas, it's been a while.
03:31 It wasn't a starter before the injuries happened to Ateneo.
03:43 But after what happened to Paseno, he's been starting and he's been scoring just like that.
03:50 Great consistent play from Ken Batas.
03:53 So there's logic to it.
03:57 It's not just flashiness for Lloyd Sagamban.
04:00 Heller zone, Redwell by Rubin.
04:03 Here's Ken.
04:05 He's been unstoppable.
04:06 16-14 Lloyd Sagamban.
04:10 Heller zone, nice receive.
04:13 Back set, Batas.
04:15 Wow.
04:15 Did get some advice from Kuya Vince after that sequence.
04:20 Back set, Batas.
04:23 No save for UP.
04:25 Clarence Santiago will now be serving.
04:28 Can he maximize his full front line?
04:30 Mamulabdan, onto Ken, cross.
04:34 Amil, tough receive.
04:49 Regalo, wow.
04:50 Kennedy, Batas.
04:53 Let's take a look at this once again.
04:56 So it started with that one that was really just too strong.
04:59 But then you have Batas at the front line.
05:02 But this is off of a timeout.
05:04 Did he freeze up a bit?
05:05 The answer is no.
05:06 Mamulabdan back sets to Ken.
05:09 Their top scorer dug up and no more chase for JV Malabanan.
05:14 He could have still saved that, but the second referee,
05:17 he stumbled against the second referee.
05:20 Take a look at that once again.
05:21 Eight points to his name.
05:24 Isostomo with the receive.
05:27 Jan pushing it onto Ken and it works.
05:30 Mamulabdan, tipping it through.
05:33 Lasinha with the dig.
05:34 Back set to Ken, cross.
05:36 I think UP has not been able to keep that alive.
05:43 And it goes for that angle.
05:45 Going back to what the coach Timmy said,
05:48 he was actually pointing out more of not anything skills related
05:53 to the game.
05:53 He was pointing out that he was not able to keep that alive.
05:56 He was actually pointing out more of not anything skills related,
06:01 you know, that they are doing wrong inside the court.
06:03 Basically, it's really more of like the attitude,
06:06 the kind of attitude that they have.
06:08 So parang nag-iba yung body language nito ng Ateneo.
06:11 The energy is not there, you know, the movement.
06:14 We've covered five set matches in the UAP this year.
06:17 Gamban receives.
06:21 And he attacks from the back row.
06:24 Salarzon puts it up.
06:26 And tubatas!
06:27 That drops for Ken.
06:29 Let's organize ourselves.
06:33 We've been here before.
06:34 Sends it through, over is C.
06:37 Battle at the net.
06:38 Ateneo will go back to its top score.
06:42 27 points and 25 in their previous outing.
06:47 Mamulabdan sending it in.
06:52 UP finding its groove.
06:54 Not yet.
06:56 Nice block by Ateneo.
06:57 Ateneo starting strong here in the fifth set.
07:01 And they must, you know, because...
07:04 Jesse Rubin.
07:05 Received by Jian.
07:09 Jian to Ken.
07:11 Another cross-court hit.
07:13 You know, not able to position their defense.
07:17 There you go.
07:20 Two players.
07:21 That's a good sign for them.
07:24 Attack from the opposite.
07:25 Kennedy Batas.
07:26 29 points.
07:28 Let's take a look at that once again.
07:32 A lot of power and a lot of speed in the attacks of Ken.
07:38 Now for UP.
07:39 Jesse.
07:41 Received by Pacino.
07:43 Jian to Jian.
07:45 Cross-court and that's it.
07:47 Nope.
07:48 That was close.
07:49 Ateneo with a chance.
07:51 Sino pa ba?
07:53 The top scorer in this game with a final stare down.
07:57 Kennedy Batas finishes with 13 points.
08:01 This is the winning point here for Ateneo.
08:05 Kennedy Batas finishes with 13 points.
08:09 This is the winning point here for Ateneo.
