00:00 of the pool smashers.
00:02 Cessover passes.
00:06 One of the better receivers.
00:10 Eliza. Open spot.
00:17 Also have to adjust usually ang remedy dyan isang side step lang to the right
00:22 so that you can close off that angle.
00:26 Gaviria struggling there with the first ball.
00:30 Gandler in front had to cut it.
00:32 Didn't like the set too much.
00:34 Galanza from behind. Fires one.
00:37 Point number three for Chema Galanza.
00:41 21 serving 23.
00:44 Chema in the middle. Set back.
00:49 Tots will send it over. Chance here for Signal.
00:53 Doria unable to put it away. Negrito goes to Chema.
00:57 Another chance here. Molina.
01:00 Dug by Valdez. Galanza down the line.
01:05 Molina will try again.
01:08 Overpass.
01:10 And it is Signal that wins the point.
01:13 Cuts the lead down to one.
01:15 That we had here in the first set.
01:20 And it is Doria who will be credited for that.
01:28 Galanza's turn now.
01:31 Molina.
01:35 Good ball.
01:39 Molina transfers to the other side.
01:41 The tip.
01:43 Counter.
01:46 The pin dig. Open. Molina again.
01:51 Seth Molina not giving up on that play.
01:56 Defense of the cool smasher.
01:59 So you can really see that Signal HD's left pin is getting wet.
02:04 First lead of the game comes at the best time.
02:08 Tots gets it back.
02:13 No fear from Tots Carlos.
02:16 One day hit. Look at the trajectory of that ball.
02:20 It's harder to backpedal compared to the movement forward.
02:26 Good pass. Tots again.
02:29 The ball comes back.
02:31 Then back to Tots.
02:33 Setback. And Signal takes set number one.
02:37 As they come from behind.
02:40 Smart move because Riri Meneses is getting a lot of rebounds.
02:45 So you have to try your best to avoid the hands in the middle of Signal.
02:50 Gander was going for that same angle which he hit earlier in the first set.
02:56 Nine serving ten.
02:58 Two straight points. Overpass again.
03:01 Chance to cut this again.
03:03 That's just smart by Doria.
03:05 She knew they were all converging in front.
03:07 The two smashers and that will force Sherwin to call for another timeout.
03:13 Eighth point. Four in the first set. Four in the second.
03:17 She serves now.
03:19 Vanni rolls it to the other side.
03:29 Negrito goes behind to Gemma.
03:33 Gel will go to Ces from behind.
03:37 That's a tough one.
03:40 All these great attackers who are watching right now live.
03:47 Like the Poyos, Saiza Gulay.
03:50 So think about the ones watching here right now.
03:53 If you're a young volleyball fan.
03:55 Chance here for Signal.
03:58 Candler goes long.
04:02 Liza rejected.
04:04 That is the play there.
04:08 Sakosan puts it away.
04:11 Gel will choose.
04:16 Jove from the left pin.
04:18 Touch again.
04:21 No one followed or got caught.
04:25 And that is danger for Don Juan.
04:28 We'll be serving and sweeping.
04:31 Don will send it to Candler.
04:33 Candler goes for the angle.
04:35 Negrito reverses to Totts again.
04:38 Gel gets a hand on it.
04:40 Jove on her strong side.
04:42 Candler. Good reaction.
04:44 Liza ready to fly.
04:47 Gel was there.
04:49 Don will send it back to Vanni.
04:51 Vanni could not get power into it.
04:54 Molina with a pick up.
04:58 Jove!
05:00 And it's Doria again with a reaction.
05:03 Christmas came early for Rose Doria.
05:07 Safe serve.
05:11 Totts tries to get it back.
05:14 No!
05:15 Gonzaga solid on the pick up.
05:17 Molina from behind.
05:19 Den will send it to Liza.
05:22 Molina again.
05:24 Gonzaga.
05:26 That is out!
05:27 And signal with a two set still on lead.
05:30 Nine serving ten.
05:33 Free ball.
05:39 Valdez.
05:41 Mahandili was there.
05:43 Jove saving that one.
05:45 Scrambling back.
05:47 Green light will go to Panaga.
05:49 On the run and gun and Jove is still able to save that ball.
05:53 Valdez.
05:55 Adjusts.
05:57 Mahandili sets it to Molina.
05:59 Who puts it away?
06:02 Jove Gonzaga!
06:04 Wow!
06:06 Defense on the side of the HD Spikers.
06:08 That is his second save.
06:11 The first one was here on the technical table.
06:14 They might have talked to Ces Molina.
06:16 I don't care.
06:17 Just go for the kill.
06:19 We'll cover you.
06:20 One or two.
06:24 Except for that first set of course.
06:27 Oh!
06:28 Doncoso did not like that.
06:30 Tentative on the movement.
06:32 Same here for Green Line.
06:34 Cayuna to Gonzaga.
06:36 Kick slide by Galanza.
06:39 Ponce sends it long.
06:41 Miscommunication there.
06:43 So a chance ball for the girls in pink.
06:46 Totscarles puts it away.
06:48 No!
06:49 Gonzaga sends it over.
06:51 What defense by Signal.
06:53 And it's still ongoing.
06:55 Dodd sends it to Jove.
06:57 Jove denied.
06:59 Cayuna to Molina.
07:01 Oh!
07:03 CCS!
07:05 And Signal in an incredible exchange there.
07:10 Tight blocking on the side of the Cool Smashers.
07:14 Is this gonna bounce out?
07:19 To hit that side line play.
07:21 Hard work on defense by the Signal players now.
07:25 Bodies are starting to really falter.
07:28 Ahuña now is another player off the bench.
07:31 Cayuna.
07:33 Unable to set it correctly.
07:36 Crucial point here.
07:39 Ponce.
07:40 That is in!
07:44 Inbaza.
07:46 20 all.
07:47 Two straight points by Signal.
07:50 Hanging tough here.
07:52 Ponce again.
07:54 Good reaction there by Cayuna.
07:56 Chance ball will be given to the cream line.
07:59 Tots again.
08:02 They rehash the play.
08:03 Inigo.
08:04 This time she is now making mistakes.
08:07 Good shot here in this second unit.
08:12 What a play.
08:16 Cannot execute it better than that, Neil.
08:19 Can they mentally hang on?
08:22 Could receive there.
08:24 Reverse to Gonzaga.
08:26 So now, you go to your veteran.
08:29 Crowd rising.
08:33 For two set points.
08:36 Atienza handles it.
08:41 Galanza!
08:42 Sends us to a fourth set!
08:46 And they will have to step up.
08:49 This is, as some will say, this is an opportunity.
08:54 More than a setback.
08:56 Maybe if you change the way you view it, an opportunity for some of these players to step up to the plate.
09:02 In the meantime, no changes here at the side of the cream line.
09:07 0-0, set 4.
09:09 That's where the problem is now.
09:14 There's a lot of miscommunication here.
09:16 On this side.
09:18 Magandili.
09:19 Cayuna.
09:21 We'll go back to Troncoso.
09:22 We'll just swipe it to the other side.
09:24 Doug.
09:28 Passes from behind.
09:30 Tots will try again.
09:39 Weren't we together when she went for her career high?
09:45 Which originally we said on the air.
09:47 Shake her leg too, so I don't know if she's close to it too.
09:50 And you're down here by six.
09:53 Will you rest your players for the fifth set or will you try to get even more physical with a comeback?
10:02 Or when do you decide that, Neil?
10:05 Usually when it comes to the 20-point mark, that's when there are more substitutions.
10:11 But I think that coach Shaq is still trying to come back.
10:16 And look at that defense.
10:20 The defensive signal earlier is what the cream line is doing now.
10:24 Look at that.
10:26 That's exactly what we were talking about.
10:29 Molina finally kills the point.
10:35 The players are trapped by the signal.
10:38 So in the long rallies, they really try their best to exhaust the players even more.
10:44 That's three straight points again by the cream line.
10:49 Back to Ces.
10:55 Wow.
10:57 I thought that was double.
10:59 So it's not.
11:00 So Riri says, "Okay, let me take care of it."
11:04 And this is...
11:06 Fanny.
11:13 Back to signal.
11:15 Jell for the second ball put away.
11:19 Check, check.
11:21 Janela is in for the first time.
11:24 Gandler.
11:31 Bonds down the line.
11:34 So Riri, Gandler, Molina and Dawn all getting a rest now.
11:42 Bonds has been spectacular off the bench.
11:50 To go to Totts.
11:54 Combination.
11:58 There you go.
12:00 Her new PBL career high.
12:03 As expected, Totts Carlos with the finishing blow in set number four.
12:11 See, gets us going.
12:16 What a slide by Dawn.
12:20 Chance ball.
12:22 One point lead by signal.
12:24 They are asking for it but it was too low.
12:26 See, will open up to Gandler.
12:29 Hit out.
12:30 Signal looking for its fifth win.
12:37 Green Line looking for its sixth.
12:39 Bonds gets it back.
12:43 Promissive.
12:44 Pobalov.
12:45 One point deficit for Green Line.
12:49 Giselle.
12:53 Set back.
12:58 And we're tied.
12:59 PBL.
13:01 Down one.
13:02 To Fanny.
13:05 Molina.
13:07 Negrito to Galazza.
13:10 Off the blockers.
13:11 See, will go to Molina again.
13:14 No touch.
13:16 Ten-oh.
13:18 Both teams have to look out for their unforced errors.
13:23 Gonzaga is back.
13:27 Oh, Molina.
13:28 Good score.
13:31 Just pulled the strings right in that combination play.
13:37 Good pass here to Negrito.
13:40 Totts with a push.
13:41 Saving one match point.
13:44 Thirty-five.
13:47 Thirty-five now.
13:48 Oh, Adlit.
13:50 What an Adlit.
13:51 Midair.
13:52 Just using the left hand.
13:54 Safe serve.
13:57 Chove gets it back.
13:59 Chance to counter for Green Line.
14:01 Totts on the other end.
14:02 Two match points saved.
14:05 This conference.
14:08 Second match point.
14:10 Saved.
14:11 Giselle.
14:12 Still alive.
14:15 But a free ball.
14:16 Giselle will go.
14:19 To Sess.
14:21 Chance to counter.
14:23 Another serve.
14:25 Sess up.
14:26 Totts-Carlus.
14:27 With unbelievable feathery touch.
14:31 Before Totts-Carlus happened, before the full smashes.
14:34 Actually, they were up 14-11.
14:35 14-11.
14:36 When we played a match before, it was 14-12.
14:38 Here we go.
14:39 Match point belongs this time to Green Line.
14:42 Scramble.
14:45 Back to Sess.
14:46 And Green Line does it.
14:49 [Applause]
14:56 (audience applauding)
