00:00Blockbuster showdown between Benilde and Sanpeda.
00:04Thank you very much. Who's watching?
00:06Anton Ross, working alongside Christiana Dimonahan.
00:09And of course, at courtside, we have Lia Pedindiaga.
00:17Penny Estacio, breaking the ball here to Jomel Uno.
00:2210 seconds, here in the shot clock.
00:25Estacio, has to shoot.
00:31Estacio, short on the pull-up.
00:34And here's another former Red Lion, Gabby Pometa.
00:40And Tulfo is fouled.
00:42Notice how he always reaches the last 8 seconds.
00:44And Sanpeda is always on the pick-and-roll.
00:46He's so good at defending.
00:48He's so good at defending.
00:55So, Gabby Pometa, had an impressive debut for Benilde.
01:0017 points off the bench, in just 20 minutes.
01:06So, what is this?
01:08Reduce the time, there are already 3 players there.
01:12Increase the stats in how many minutes.
01:15The efficiency, right?
01:17The efficiency of these players, like Sahonya and Pometa.
01:23Very impressive.
01:32So, as a player, Christiana, how does this affect your defense?
01:38And of course, the mentality.
01:43You're familiar with Gabby Pometa's game.
01:46And you're a Sanpeda player.
01:48How do you adjust to that?
01:51If you're a Sanpeda, you have to acknowledge the man who's assigned to you.
01:55Who you're watching and what are his strengths and weaknesses.
01:58Your opponent will always know where he's weak.
02:04Eusebio, smothered.
02:10Sahonya, back on the floor after getting bloodied in the nose.
02:15Is there a friendly fire?
02:17Songkuya with a dip in.
02:2419-13 in favor of Benilde.
02:29And look at the defense of Gonzalez on Torres.
02:33Eusebio against Andrada.
02:35Eusebio to Sanchez.
02:38Pometa.
02:43Sanpeda is holding back.
02:45Sanela to Cielo.
02:51The length of Sanpeda.
02:53You see it right there on the replay as they crash the boards.
02:59Pometa.
03:02Sahonya recovers. Benilde still has the ball.
03:09It's super important for players like that.
03:12They both have good individual players.
03:15It's super important for individual defense.
03:23Shot clock reads 4 seconds.
03:26Pometa.
03:27Flops it up to Eusebio.
03:29Good intention, good idea.
03:31Sahonya throws the foul.
03:35Count the basket.
03:38Plus one, Sahonya.
03:41We'll head to the line to complete the three-point play.
03:49Just a smart play by Brian Sahonya stepping on the brakes.
03:53Putting his body on Sanchez.
03:56Absorbing the contact.
03:59And just kissing it off the glass.
04:05And back to our game.
04:07Alan Liwag, who has not scored.
04:12Cristiana is making it difficult for Sanpeda's defense.
04:16It's only right.
04:17Because if it's like that, it's like...
04:21How do I say this?
04:23Scouting report by coaches.
04:25This player is the one who crushed their opponent.
04:29He's the one who won, he's the one who secured.
04:31Of course, if we're the opponents, let's not score.
05:01It was mentioned that whoever goes up against Sanpeda should make them feel uncomfortable.
05:06When I asked Coach Charles and Coach Yuri what they think about that,
05:09they both had similar answers sharing that excellent defense is the key to stop their opponent.
05:15And the Sanpeda Red Lions entered their timeout bravely chanting defense.
05:20So the question is, which team will thrive under pressure?
05:25Back to you, Anton Cristiana.
05:27That is indeed the question that we will wait to be answered.
05:32Because it has been a defensive-oriented matchup between these two squads.
05:37The score is so low. It's a low-scoring game.
05:40The defense is good.
05:42So now, Sanpeda took a 6-0 run.
05:45Because Benil was the one who ended the first quarter with a 6-0 run.
05:50Oh, a slow run underneath.
05:52Songkuya and Liwag.
05:57Liwag is so active in the paint.
06:01He can attract fouls with or without the ball.
06:12So Joe Celso is the designated Alan Liwag stopper.
06:17He's back in the game.
06:21And if you're Liwag, you should expect to get hurt.
06:24Because you did well last game.
06:29Everyone will be on him.
06:32Oh, Alan didn't look at the ball.
06:36Gonzalez, bounce pass to Hoya.
06:38Too strong to Hoya.
06:40Another one.
06:43Gonzalez is still not in the sub.
06:46He was in the sub briefly earlier.
06:50But he didn't rest much.
06:53This is the first deadlock of the game.
06:57Kometa, floater.
06:59And that's his move.
07:03Gabby Kometa.
07:04His teammates are familiar with his tendencies.
07:07But they still can't stop him.
07:10One of the best in the league in terms of that floater.
07:13So Hoya, his version of a floater.
07:16Gonzalez, floater.
07:20This one has a contact.
07:23Brian seems to prefer the one with a contact.
07:26Actually.
07:30Eusebio for three.
07:33And another one of those James Payosi trademark rebounds.
07:38This just became a very fast-paced game.
07:41And a chance for Sanbella to take the lead here.
07:46Zahonya for the lead.
07:47Brian Zahonya.
07:52Brian Zahonya is feeling at home here in the NCAA.
08:09Almost a steal.
08:10Actually, he completes the steal.
08:12Paeng Arie.
08:13He stops Arie.
08:15Paeng Arie.
08:16Wow.
08:17And one.
08:23There's a deflection here from Arie.
08:26Condition.
08:27He's being chased.
08:29Full-on defense.
08:30He's been waiting for Arie for a long time.
08:35And there's another foul.
08:40And it went in.
08:42It went straight in.
08:43What a waste.
08:44If only Arie had a contact.
08:46Wow.
08:47Over the outstretched arms of Kevin Santos.
08:52This is what coach Ralph Rivera was explaining.
08:56Paeng Arie.
08:57Reading the defense.
09:00Back to four.
09:01The lead.
09:08Big-time recruit.
09:12By the Red Lions.
09:14Brian Zahonya.
09:16See him clean up his own miss.
09:18See him score on the floater with a contact.
09:22And then, step back for three.
09:26It's all in the confidence.
09:28He feels that Arie has a big hole for him.
09:30So, he's giving everything he has.
09:32Until it runs out.
09:34Mr. Efficiency.
09:35Nine points in six minutes for Brian Zahonya.
09:38But Mark Santos, Benil's captain, ties the game up.
09:48Third deadlock of the contest.
09:49Twenty-four all.
09:58Zahonya.
10:00To Andrada.
10:02Andrada to Zahonya.
10:04Zahonya.
10:05To the left.
10:07Paiyosing.
10:12Rebound and put back for James Paiyosing.
10:15James Paiyosing is a very simple hitter.
10:17But he got MVP.
10:20Enoch for three.
10:22Rebound Zahonya.
10:24His hustle on the offensive boards is amazing.
10:29And look at Zahonya.
10:31Calling his own number but...
10:34Dribbles off of his leg.
10:36Broken play right here.
10:43Zahonya already dribbled it off his leg.
10:46The Red Lions recover and find their captain, Yukien Andrada, for the basket.
10:51Kudos to Celso for saving the ball.
10:54Ancheta.
10:56Nine on the shot clock.
10:57Ancheta steps back.
11:01And Celso comes up with the board.
11:03Zahonya is so brave.
11:05Even when he's lying down, he's still asking for the ball.
11:09He's so confident.
11:11Even when he's lying down, he's still asking for the ball.
11:14This is amazing.
11:16Yukien Andrada.
11:18Too strong on that shot.
11:20Earlier, he fell down, right?
11:22Then Celso grabbed the ball and he's still asking for it.
11:25And that's a foul by Zahonya.
11:27I think he can play even though his nose was bleeding earlier.
11:29I think he can play even though his nose was bleeding earlier.
11:31I don't think he has a choice.
11:34This is what Mark Sango did earlier to tie the game up.
11:39And then, watch how James Payosing went up for that ball.
11:46The art of rebounding by James Payosing.
11:50Eighteen seconds on the shot clock.
11:52He has a workshop about rebounding.
11:54Rebounding as a guard forward.
12:00Kahukom.
12:02Kahukom with the left hand.
12:04And another rebound by James Payosing.
12:12Gonzalez.
12:15Oh, Payosing wants to post up Kahukom.
12:19Payosing.
12:21And he gets another rebound.
12:23This is amazing.
12:24Payosing with six rebounds.
12:26Gonzalez, too strong on the ball.
12:28This is the third offensive possession of the game.
12:30Rebounds in the game.
12:32At the back.
12:34Here's Tony Vino.
12:36And there's a foul.
12:38That's a good foul.
12:40That was a good foul.
12:42And Coach Charles and Assistant Coach Gabby Severino asking for an answer.
12:47That's a good foul.
12:49That was a good foul.
12:51That was a good foul.
12:52Severino asking for an unsportsmanlike foul.
12:55Nigel Gonzalez is first.
12:59That is the 14th foul of the Red Lions.
13:01Was it?
13:03You will have a review on the last foul.
13:05Nigel did a duty foul there so Tony wouldn't be able to fast break.
13:09That's why I said that was a good foul.
13:11It was an unsportsmanlike foul.
13:17So apparently in the NCAA books, it's not.
13:23Oh, Dami Contapay.
13:28He was a player that played a big role in San Pedro's title run.
13:36Is that Peter Alfaro?
13:38Yes, that's Peter Alfaro.
13:40I did recognize him with the new haircut.
13:42But you'd recognize the brows anywhere.
13:45The brows and the beard.
13:48He's looking pretty fresh though.
13:49Virwa!
13:51Calibag for three.
13:53He's strong.
13:55And look at how Payosing was fighting for that rebound.
13:58The hustle.
14:02James Payosing is very aggressive.
14:07The first quarter ended with a trailing.
14:11And now they're in the lead.
14:13They're doing better in terms of offensive and defensive executions.
14:16Especially in the pick and roll.
14:20Diving.
14:27That's Nigel's defense.
14:29That's the welcome to the NCAA.
14:34AJ Royal replacing Nigel Gonzalez.
14:39Also Tome Lapuno checks back in for James Payosing.
14:45Respect.
14:47Another NCAA legend.
14:50Former Sun Beta big man, J.R. Tagana's baby Shaq.
14:56Yeah, they called him baby Shaq back in the day.
14:58I'm thinking baby Shaq.
15:00Baby Shaq.
15:02Baby Shaq.
15:04Baby Shaq.
15:06Nineteen seconds to shoot.
15:09This is Christiana Dimonan's senior debut in breaking out a random song.
15:17Cross court pass.
15:19Ollie.
15:21Grabs his own miss.
15:23Ollie hangs in the air.
15:25And he will head to the line for two.
15:27That's how you should do it.
15:29If you're a shooter and you take a shot, follow your own shot.
15:34Get the rebound, get your own shot.
15:38If I were you, I'd run back.
15:44You guys take care of the rebounds.
15:46You guys take care of the rebounds.
15:54And we have a substitution here.
15:57J.C. Ponzalida.
15:59At the line for two.
16:01Matthew Ollie.
16:03Matthew Ollie, NCAA debut today.
16:09That's his what?
16:11How many misses in the free throw?
16:16Matthew Ollie's first miss prior to that 2-for-2.
16:30And now the timeout will be called by Coach Yuri Izcueta.
16:34We will be back Sunday on Top 5 Three.
16:35This is the moment.
16:37In your heart.
16:39The sky is the limit.
16:41Let's go.
16:43The pressure.
16:45This team is known for their defense.
16:47Brian Zahonya.
16:49His first shot.
16:51As a Sunbetter Red Lion in the NCAA.
16:54The best shooting three-point team in the NCAA.
16:59Zahonya.
17:01Baseline drive.
17:03Zahonya.
17:05Zahonya.
17:07Wow.
17:11I think I saw that move.
17:14From you.
17:16I saw that.
17:18I saw that.
17:20I'll tell you what.
17:22A few days ago, I spoke to Angeles.
17:24Former team captain.
17:26Of the Red Lions.
17:28A champion as well.
17:30A member of the assistant.
17:32An assistant coach.
17:34And Zahonya knocks down another triple.
17:40Mancom representative from De La Salle College of St. Benito.
17:44Manuel Raymond Castellano.
17:47Or Coach Dax Castellano.
17:50And of course, from Sunbetter University, attorney Jonas Cabochan.
17:56Their teams going head to head very early in the season.
17:59And it's been an intense battle so far.
18:03Highly physical as well.
18:13Royal.
18:15Concentrata.
18:30Holding foul on number 0, Matthew Alden's first.
18:3413th foul.
18:36And we have Molina here.
18:38Francesca Molina.
18:40From Sunbetter University.
18:42Women's volleyball team.
18:48Nice to have also volleyball player sightings from time to time.
18:53From time to time.
18:55No, because sometimes they can't go because of classes or whatever.
19:05RC Kalibag.
19:08Good catch and shoot on the pop out.
19:10That's his job.
19:12That's his job, shoot or shoot.
19:15Torres.
19:17Liwag from the elbow.
19:19There you go.
19:21Alan Liwag finally getting on the board.
19:25He can't score from the bottom.
19:27So now.
19:30Now the defense has to adjust.
19:32Because Alan is on his own.
19:34From the elbow.
19:42And John Alpuno with the athleticism.
19:45That's his second hustle offensive rebound.
19:46Offensive rebound.
19:58How this play will develop.
20:00RC Kalibag popping out of the corner.
20:03Draining the triple.
20:05And then watch John Alpuno.
20:10Coming from out of nowhere to get that offensive rebound.
20:14In possession before that.
20:18All because he worked hard for the rebound.
20:22That's coach Yuri Escueta.
20:24Now in his third season as the head coach.
20:28Of Sun Betty University.
20:30John Alpuno, Phil Canadian.
20:37Missing on the second free throw.
20:38I thought they caught him.
20:41Mark Sanko boxed out.
20:50Earlier today, the University of Perpetual Health System, Delta.
20:54Made their NCAA Season 100 debut.
20:56Winning against.
21:01JRU.
21:03And it's their first win.
21:05On a first game of the season.
21:06In eight seasons.
21:08The last time they actually won their first game.
21:11In an NCAA tournament was.
21:13Way back.
21:15June 20, 2015.
21:17A 70 to 61 win against LPU.
21:19Last playing year.
21:21Scottie Thompson.
21:25Who ironically was.
21:27Was drafted.
21:29After that season.
21:31To the pro team.
21:33Where coach Olsen Rasella.
21:34Was coaching at.
21:38And I remember coach Olsen Rasella.
21:42And coach Tim Cohn.
21:44Saw some.
21:46Similarities between Scottie and Johnny Abarientos.
21:49Oh really?
21:51Yeah, even though.
21:53Body type and all.
21:55But the instincts.
21:57That's why they drafted him.
22:00How much he has proven himself in the league.
22:02Morales.
22:04Triple up and in.
22:06For Morales.
22:11Second season in the league.
22:13For John Morales.
22:15Before the game.
22:17I was saying.
22:19Outside shooting.
22:22They're proving me wrong.
22:25Right now.
22:27Three out of 14.
22:29I'm sure coach Charles wishes.
22:30That they can still improve.
22:32On that shooting.
22:34Of course.
22:36Especially since.
22:38They play big.
22:40They play in the paint.
22:42So it's much better if.
22:44Outside shooting.
22:46Or at least.
22:48Long range perimeter shooting.
22:50John El Puno tried.
22:52To back down.
22:54Alec Diwag.
22:56Diwag forcing a turnover.
22:58Cometa.
23:01Gabby Cometa.
23:03Diwag.
23:05Diwag.
23:07Power move.
23:09Bola na sa Benito Pared.
23:11Pino.
23:13Sanco.
23:15On the drive.
23:17Sanco.
23:19Full on the shot clock.
23:21Morales.
23:23Libre libre.
23:25It's going to be Sanco.
23:27Basketball.
23:28Ball movement.
23:29Libre sa Morales.
23:30Leading up to the last five seconds.
23:31Nagyata na ng ball movement.
23:33Celso.
23:35Fouled by Morales.
23:44Awee.
23:45Battle number six.
23:46John Morales is first.
23:48Nigel Gonzales.
23:49Replacing RC Kaliman.
23:58To the line.
23:5941.6 seconds remaining here in the first half.
24:02Celso.
24:03Celso at the line.
24:05New starting center para sa SunBetter University.
24:11He's doing well.
24:13Oh.
24:14Grabe naman yung usog na yun.
24:15Ang lala.
24:17Literal.
24:18Kakasabi ko lang.
24:19Yeah.
24:20Nahawa ka na sakin Christiana.
24:21I also had a broadcaster's jinx moment during the last game.
24:26The last cover.
24:27That I did.
24:30I was trying to say he's been doing well rebounding and doing his job.
24:33Sabay Air Force.
24:35Well that's a much better looking stroke for Joe Celso.
24:41Dubai lead for SunBetter.
24:44Enot for the lead.
24:47Ball grazes the rim.
24:57Arroyo to Gonzales.
25:03Coach Yuri has two point guards here.
25:07Gonzales to Puno.
25:09Puno.
25:11Blocked.
25:12Kaliman.
25:13And the refs blow the whistle.
25:17SunBetter is in the penalty.
25:19So that means two free throws.
25:21J.C. Ponsalida penalties first.
25:24Paulo Turgo together with Tomel Angeta.
25:27And Alin Kahukum for Alin Liwag.
25:31Gab Cometa.
25:40Yukin Andrada and John Sojone.
25:43Coming in for Celso.
25:44A lot of substitutions being made here.
25:48Bago matapos ang first half.
25:49Four point nine seconds remaining.
25:51Morales.
25:54Will shoot two.
26:01At the line for two.
26:03John Morales.
26:07Morales with a chance to tie the game.
26:10Oh but his first free throw is way short.
26:19Andrada, Puno, and Gonzales the rebounders for SunBetter.
26:31Turgo and Sanco are there for Benilde.
26:34But Morales drains the free throw.
26:37Gonzales has time.
26:39Nigel at the buzzer.
26:42Puno.
26:45And that will do it for the first half.
26:47What a matchup between two teams with very high expectations for season 100.
26:56But the Red Lions, the defending champions, lead the Blazers 33-32 after the first two quarters.
