00:00As our crew chief, along with Cornel Tungol, Jerome Chester, Guy, and Tom Mendoza, completing our officials.
00:13Okay.
00:15The generals versus the cardinals.
00:20First crack at the basket here for the EAC.
00:24Here's Jekko Pankale.
00:28And J.C. Recco, this is a guy, Big Bo, who wants to bounce back in this match.
00:35He struggled mightily against Benilde, and in this particular contest, we heard...
00:422 out of 2 for Clint Escamez. It is 8-2.
00:46Gurtiza, left-fielder, and he makes the play.
00:50You can't leave Gurtiza alone like that.
00:53He tries it on the first one.
00:56He's not successful, but he's free like that.
00:59It hurts him a little.
01:01First basket of the game for King Gurtiza.
01:05Here's the full-court press of the EAC.
01:09Here's Uchabu looking for Gurtiza at the top.
01:13He's free.
01:15I like the composure of this guy.
01:18He's not pressured, no matter what you do.
01:21He's small, so if you parry him, you'll be faster.
01:25Here's Clint Escamez.
01:28Clint Escamez knocking it down from down-down.
01:32He's slow, and he jumps high.
01:36Recto.
01:38Again, straight to the cup.
01:40This is a man on a mission.
01:43J.C. Recco who now has 7 points.
01:46He really wants to fight.
01:49When it comes to the end, Coach Gerson relies on his new moves.
01:55Manguban.
01:56He's strong.
01:58He gets the offensive rebound.
02:00He's good at timing.
02:03Cuenco attacks.
02:04Cuenco with the left hand.
02:07Cyrus.
02:08That's crazy.
02:10He's still there.
02:11Cardinals are fighting.
02:13He's the one attacking.
02:14He's the one who's still there.
02:18Cuenco getting extra aggressive on both ends of the court.
02:22There he is again.
02:25Cyrus Cuenco.
02:27Off the hesitation.
02:28Wait a minute.
02:30We have a foul inside.
02:32About this drive by Cyrus Cuenco.
02:34Off the crossover.
02:36Switching hands.
02:38That was a crazy attack.
02:41He knows that the defender can reach him.
02:46He switched to the left.
02:49Cyrus Cuenco is on the left.
02:51Meantime, we got a timeout on the floor.
02:53Mapua in full control here in the first.
03:06At the college level.
03:08At the college level.
03:09Because a lot of people invent this league that you can join.
03:12That's right.
03:14Here, they're ready.
03:16In their mother league NCAA.
03:19Let's get back to it.
03:22Guevara.
03:25Doromal.
03:26What a find.
03:27Loristo.
03:28Doromal was looking for a good one.
03:30He passed it to Loristo at the bottom.
03:33He has a security guard with him.
03:35He's letting his veteran guard him.
03:38Yes.
03:39He's still a veteran.
03:40No matter what you do.
03:41He's already on the line.
03:43Follows up his own miss.
03:44That's what we're saying.
03:47Knows for the ball.
03:49You know where the ball will fall.
03:51Now.
03:53Now gets a chance at the point.
03:56Let's see what he can do.
03:57Guevara on his spine.
03:59To figure out.
04:01Corrects.
04:02From long distance.
04:04This is the line-up of Coach Gerson and him.
04:16Thank you very much, Christine.
04:18And here are the EAC Generals.
04:20Pagay straight away.
04:21Three.
04:22Second triple.
04:23Down and good.
04:24For Pagay.
04:27That's coming off an offensive rebound.
04:30He's really not hesitating.
04:31Favorites call it Mapua basketball.
04:34And they need to score here, Big Bo.
04:36Because the EAC has increased.
04:38Two minutes and a half.
04:39They have no points here.
04:42Because Paulo Pagay has three points.
04:45For the Generals.
04:46Escamiz will make his move.
04:49Escamiz on difficult shot.
04:51It doesn't matter.
04:53He hits the fade.
04:55No difficult for me.
04:57Said Clint Escamiz.
04:58Every time we get called out.
05:00The kids are really embarrassing us.
05:04We just told Scott.
05:06Here's the score for you.
05:08Of Tana now.
05:10Turnaround jumper.
05:12That goes in for Wilmar of Tana.
05:16Mapua's score didn't last long.
05:19Tana finished it off.
05:23Our match is heating up.
05:25Both teams getting into a rhythm here.
05:28John Habonete.
05:31They go to the left flank.
05:33In Cyrus Cuenco.
05:35Seven to shoot.
05:37Cuenco looking for Habonete.
05:39Habonete puts it up.
05:41That's too strong.
05:43And Paco secures it.
05:46Habonete's pass was beautiful.
05:48He couldn't catch it.
05:50Here's Of Tana.
05:52Wilmar of Tana.
05:55Puts the lead down to two.
05:59And that's why he is there.
06:04That's why this EA is a day transfer into a zone.
06:07Here it is.
06:09Manuban raised to triple.
06:12The first point in our match for Lorenz Manuban.
06:16In this game only three points.
06:21And he couldn't capitalize as well.
06:25Four points now for King.
06:28About a ten second difference between the clocks.
06:31Manuban one more time.
06:33He checked.
06:35Cuenco.
06:37What a fade.
06:39Scores underneath.
06:43Remains as a starter here for Mapua.
06:46Forward pass.
06:48Pagsanhan.
06:50Straight to the cup.
06:52Good find for Lucero.
06:54Pagsanhan really leaked out there.
06:56He leaked out there first.
06:58Cuenco couldn't defend.
07:00And it looks like the EAC wants to run.
07:03Yes. Lucero is there again.
07:06Let's see.
07:08Both teams looking to up the tempo.
07:11For the shoot for the Cardinals.
07:13Escamiz from mid-range.
07:15No.
07:17Of Tana secures.
07:19Here's Lucero again.
07:21Pagsanhan finds it.
07:23Too aggressive.
07:25Lucero's pass was too advanced.
07:28Good intention but...
07:31This is Lucero's first pass to Pagsanhan.
07:36Second basket of the game for Harvey Pagsanhan.
07:40After going one out of six in the first half.
07:43A quick substitution.
07:45For Mapua.
07:47Cuenco sits.
07:49And Aguimegui comes in.
07:51Aguimegui played well in the second quarter.
07:55Even if he doesn't make a score.
07:58He's doing a difference of getting the rebounds.
08:02Playing defense.
08:04Aguimegui for Pagsanhan.
08:06Again on the break.
08:08He's off to a fantastic start here.
08:11And for EAC.
08:13This is what Coach Gerson mentioned.
08:16From the previous game.
08:17From the previous game.
08:19He wants their points.
08:21Starting with the defensive stop.
08:23Two sequences here.
08:25In the third.
08:27John Habonete nails the floater.
08:29Thank you very much.
08:31And as you say that.
08:33It's another take away for EAC.
08:35You see them run the other way here.
08:38Quenal off the screen.
08:40Quenal knocks it down.
08:42They're really stepping on the gas.
08:44If they get a rebound.
08:46Pagsanhan.
08:48Lucero.
08:50Whoever gets the ball.
08:52That is the major adjustment.
08:54According to Christine's report.
08:56For EAC.
08:58Step back.
09:00Jumper for Clint.
09:02This is another.
09:04Hit pocket by EAC.
09:0741-35.
09:09Offensive rebound for EAC.
09:11Lucero has it.
09:12Lucero.
09:14Lucero to Quenal.
09:18And Lucero.
09:21Is bringing out the goggles.
09:23Here inside of Quenal Eccles Center.
09:27Oh.
09:28Buenco is there.
09:30Recto.
09:32It just went in.
09:34Three.
09:36As JC Recto said.
09:38I've been sitting for a long time.
09:40I'm still hot.
09:4112 points now for JC.
09:46JC Recto.
09:48Now with 12 points.
09:50JC Recto.
10:06Clint.
10:08JC Recto.
10:11Miscommunication between.
10:16That's Clint Escami scoring.
10:22Here comes Clint again.
10:24Escami is now with 10 points across his name.
10:28What will he do here?
10:30He will look for Igleani.
10:32He will attack Clint again.
10:34He floats it up.
10:36That's too strong.
10:38And here is Gortiza now with the basketball.
10:39Gortiza.
10:41Has been silent in this game.
10:43Only 4 points.
10:44Turamal face up jumper.
10:46Nothing yet for Turamal.
10:48That rolls out.
10:50It's really salty.
10:52He was looking for his hobbies earlier.
10:54It's really salty.
10:57The shot was there.
10:59With good look.
11:01But earlier outside.
11:03And his training is over.
11:05Here is Recto.
11:06Recto.
11:07It's backward.
11:08Backward.
11:09Backward.
11:10Free.
11:11Doris Maguba.
11:14And now.
11:16Maguba has established.
11:18The biggest lead of the game at 13-52-39.
11:23All against the Cardinals though.
11:25They never know.
11:26They never know.
11:27They never know.
11:29It's first down.
11:31Escami is.
11:33Hurting it up as well.
11:34The spear hits the score.
11:36Next up.
11:37Loris Maguba.
11:38Nailing.
11:404-3 points.
11:42Big ball.
11:44For Loris Maguba.
11:45Oh he has a man in front.
11:46Yeah.
11:49And now they're applying the pressure.
11:51They are applying it.
11:53But they're unable to get the steal.
11:55It's.
11:56A break for Maguba.
11:57Jabonete inside.
12:00You can see Recto's precision mind.
12:02He knows he has a man outside.
12:03He's fighting Jabonete.
12:05It looks like.
12:07It's a mirror play for EAC.
12:09Jabonete to Bakud.
12:11They were just having.
12:13Free.
12:14Free Jabonete.
12:16Nobody getting John Jabonete on the other end.
12:20Because.
12:21He's gone.
12:23He's forced.
12:25One more.
12:27Gortiza.
12:28Kaboom.
12:30King Gortiza.
12:31King Gortiza.
12:33From half court.
12:37They will review.
12:39The last shot of King Gortiza.
12:41But.
12:42Look at this.
12:43This pass was chosen by.
12:45Escambes.
12:47King got a chance.
12:49Basket.
12:50I will say it's basket.
12:52Clear as day.
12:54If counts.
12:55King Gortiza.
12:56Free.
12:57For King Gortiza.
12:58So instead of a double digit lead.
13:00For Mapua.
13:02It's down to eight.
13:04Players.
13:05Don't be fooled.
13:07It's like.
13:08They're really trying.
13:10Because.
13:12There are instances.
13:13That could happen in the next.
13:15So.
13:16Here's Bakud.
13:17He's going down.
13:18Oh.
13:19He's going down.
13:20He's going down.
13:22He now has 15.
13:24In the game all.
13:26From three point range.
13:29So Mapua.
13:31With a chance.
13:32To extend the lead.
13:34Escambes.
13:35Against King.
13:36Okay.
13:37Really.
13:40He's looking for it.
13:41Free.
13:42It is.
13:43Rubilia.
13:44That's what we're saying.
13:45The third.
13:46Rubilia.
13:47For three.
13:49Too strong again.
13:51Rubilia.
13:52Getting involved.
13:53In that rebound.
13:54Went for six years.
13:55And a fresh 14.
13:56For the cards.
13:58The Mapua's just keeping the ball alive.
14:00Igleane from straight away.
14:02Oh.
14:03Igleane.
14:04Now.
14:06Free.
14:07Andres.
14:08Igleane.
14:09With a big time triple.
14:11To stretch the lead.
14:13Back to double figures.
14:15What a search here.
14:17For the Mapua Cardinals.
14:19In the fourth.
14:21Lonitz Mangubat with his.
14:23Fifth triple in the game.
14:24And here again.
14:25Clint Escambes.
14:27Discussing.
14:29Setting the table for the Cardinals.
14:31Extra pass from Igleane.
14:33To another big in Rubilia.
14:35But here.
14:36He's used to scoring from outside.
14:38Oh.
14:39He's not looking for the free.
14:40He's used to the free.
14:41This is mine.
14:43Escambes.
14:46Misfires.
14:49And.
14:50Nobby Lucero now.
14:51He's in a hurry.
14:52For the EAC.
14:53Here's Lucero.
14:54Gortiza.
14:55Goal.
14:56Big.
14:57By King.
14:59Strong wise okay.
15:01But he's an undersized big.
15:03That's right.
15:04Not that tall big that type of a guy.
15:07So.
15:08If you as a player.
15:10You need to improve on something.
15:12That is big.
15:14Here's the dish of Gortiza.
15:16To Pangsanhan.
15:18Gortiza.
15:19To Pangsanhan.
15:21The two leading scorers of the EAC.
15:23Connecting that time.
15:25On top.
15:27Eye to eye with Pangsanhan.
15:29Cuenco is trapped.
15:30Sends it out.
15:31Escambes.
15:32Good fight to shoot.
15:33Flynn saves it.
15:35Manubar.
15:37No.
15:38No Mabas.
15:40Wow.
15:41Good take by Yon.
15:43He's up and running.
15:44Gortiza.
15:45Doromar for three.
15:46Come on.
15:48Marcel Doromar.
15:50Three.
15:51He wins his first basket of the game.
15:54And what a time for it to come.
15:57Badly needed basket for Axel Doromal.
16:00He was struggling here earlier.
16:03And here it is.
16:05It's like a dagger.
16:07Here's Jovilla.
16:08Chris Jovilla is gone.
16:11Ochavo came from.
16:13Or came for the help.
16:15That's the advantage of Jovilla.
16:19This is Gortiza's fight.
16:22Doromal is in the corner.
16:26That's Jovilla's advantage in the big end of EAC.
16:30Because he has a better football.
