00:21 Maybe not!
00:22 Double contact, and a call against Iran.
00:24 [crowd cheering]
00:26 >> But, you know, you appreciate the defense of Iran.
00:29 Those are tough balls, but they're trying to dig it and keep the ball in play.
00:33 >> Sharma.
00:35 Pass by Shaghayegh.
00:37 For Saleh.
00:39 Off the block by Deguzman.
00:41 Gia sets it up.
00:42 Back row.
00:43 Yes!
00:43 Rondina wins again.
00:45 [crowd cheering]
00:46 >> And yet another excellent set.
00:48 We have to mention just one blocker again.
00:51 Rondina finding the angle, eluding that one blocker.
00:56 [crowd cheering]
00:58 >> Out of Compostela, Cebu.
00:59 CC Rondina.
01:01 Just still as explosive as that time she was with USD.
01:06 Nice one.
01:08 But a good pass there from Rondina.
01:10 Sets up Gantler.
01:11 Blocked.
01:12 >> Good cover.
01:13 >> Nierva, this time to Rondina.
01:14 Yes!
01:15 [crowd cheering]
01:18 >> Boy, he's taught to block her challenge, Rondina, yet she still finds that open space.
01:24 >> Super smash.
01:25 >> To throw number five.
01:27 >> Aaron.
01:29 So, Rondina Garrafi with a serve.
01:32 Nierva with a nice pass.
01:34 Rondina.
01:34 Yes!
01:36 [crowd cheering]
01:38 >> One thing Rondina's got to do is adjust their blocking technique.
01:42 They have two blockers.
01:44 >> Ladies and gentlemen, can't wait to see.
01:47 >> But it's really a matter of putting the hand over the net, kind of, by this back.
01:54 >> It's one all.
01:55 Set number two.
01:56 Dorsafala with a serve.
01:59 Back row Rondina.
02:00 [crowd cheering]
02:02 >> Two times for Dorsafala to dig up.
02:07 >> Again, one blocker.
02:08 You know, Nicos Madres was reading the defense of Iran really well, really finding or creating the opportunity for these kills.
02:21 >> And it's set point for Alas, Pilipinas.
02:24 Salamat.
02:26 >> Good stop.
02:27 >> They can put it away here.
02:28 Coronel, another option play.
02:30 Salamat with an off speed.
02:32 Coronel, this time the gander with the left hand.
02:35 Oh, saved by Salamat.
02:36 What an effort by the 23-year-old.
02:40 Nuda on a running attack.
02:43 Doug in the back row.
02:44 By Shagayeg.
02:46 >> Still alive.
02:48 >> Rondina Salamat.
02:50 >> Working well for Pilipinas.
02:57 >> Good pass considering the serve by Canino.
03:00 It's a chance ball here for Alas, Pilipinas.
03:04 Rondina against one blocker.
03:06 No match.
03:09 >> Again, that play in itself can actually summarize how Pilipinas has been playing in this match so far.
03:18 Teamwork.
03:20 >> Biggest lead for Alas, Pilipinas.
03:22 And hastily might not even begin to describe it as Rondina.
03:26 >> He's on an overpass.
03:28 >> Another point.
03:32 >> You see the frustration on the side of Team Iran.
03:37 >> Another Alas, Pilipinas player in double digits, Cicero Rondina joining Canino.
03:43 The ten.
03:45 In case you're wondering, it's a little lighter, you know.
03:47 That's a big factor also.
03:50 >> Bad pass coming from Shagayeg.
03:53 So an underhand easy over for Iran.
03:56 De Guzman.
03:57 Rondina.
03:58 >> Oh!
03:59 >> She's playing.
04:03 >> She soars like she's what, six feet whatever, but she's five feet nothing.
04:12 >> Look at this play.
04:13 >> Perfect, perfect execution.
04:17 >> So many options.
04:19 >> That's true.
04:24 >> Rondina.
04:27 Cicero Rondina makes it look effortless.
04:32 >> He's like the healthy option for Team Pilipinas.
04:36 Every time you need a point, although everyone's an option, but Cicero Rondina has been on point today.
