00:00An ankle sprain, Nigel Gonzalez will be manning the points along with Joe Selzo, another newcomer in the front line.
00:08Yukio Nabrada, James Payosing, and there's also RC Taliman.
00:14Alright, ballgame is underway, BAC versus San Pedro, and it is Axel Dolomar missing his first shot of the game, but you love the hustle of BAC.
00:24Because this is one of the numbers we'll be watching, rebounding rings against a bigger team like San Pedro.
00:30Yes, yes, A is undersized now, they lost Maguliana Poseo, so it's a really big factor for them that they lost their main bigs.
00:38But of course, someone has to step up like Umpad, so let's see, let's see.
00:43Really big responsibility today for Coach Gerson Caviltes, he trusted Erlan Umpad.
00:52Yes, he was given confidence, he was given an opportunity by the coaches, he was given a lot of confidence.
00:59And on San Pedro, their first crack at the basket, there is Yukio Nabrada coming off a 21 point performance in the previous game.
01:08And it's still hot.
01:09Wow, Yukio Nabrada showing us the move, and he scores the first two points of the game.
01:16He can shoot from the outside, he can also shoot inside the paint.
01:20Axel Doromal against Nigel Gonzalez.
01:24It's the vet against the sophomore, JC Luciano left with space, he knocks down the triple.
01:31JC Luciano is the one guy that needs to step up, he's a veteran, he's been here at AAC for a long time.
01:37So he's one of the leaders of AAC, so he needs to step up.
01:40This guy is used to being the undersized four for the EAC, but also has range.
01:48Paiyosing, Paiyosing the stop and hop, he'll be fouled up top.
01:53And two free throws coming up here for James Paiyosing.
01:56You know that's the number one rule for shooters, don't foul the shooter.
02:00Because he can't go anywhere if he jumps, so just don't foul him.
02:06Good action off the screen for James Paiyosing, first foul called in this game.
02:11This is how strong is the line-up of San Pedro Prince.
02:14Imagine, their leading scorer, 21 points a game.
02:18He's on the bench.
02:21He'll come off the bench today.
02:23Imagine how he will attack the second unit of AAC later.
02:27The line-up of AAC is so deep.
02:30Alright, let's use this opportunity to go courtside for the first time.
02:35Yan Supanian is here, go ahead.
02:37Martin and Prince, we might be seeing new faces on the court today,
02:41but let's first talk about pride and confidence.
02:44On the side of the Red Lions, Coach Yuri says that he is proud of his boys
02:47for answering the call to be a better team based on their last game.
02:51He also said that he recognizes that the Juggernauts have talented members,
02:55thus they will have to rely on their defensive and rebounding abilities today.
02:59Meanwhile, Coach Gerson commended their opponent because they have a very good system,
03:04but he believes that his team is hungrier for a second win coming from a loss.
03:08Moving forward, Coach is hoping that the team would not repeat the same mistakes as last time.
03:12For this game, San Pedro is missing Bonzanillo, who is sick and taking a rest today.
03:17However, AAC's line-up is complete.
03:19Back to you, Martin and Prince.
03:21Thank you so much, Yan.
03:22Well, for the San Pedro Red Lions, Prince,
03:26if you are the one who will think that you can defeat San Pedro,
03:29Coach Yuri's trademark is to take away the main guy of the other team.
03:34Yeah, that's right.
03:36And it's not just a defensive scheme.
03:39I really commend their offense because all of them are really disciplined.
03:43They follow all the system, all the rules.
03:46That's why they are a very successful team.
03:49And that's the challenge now for Coach Gerson Camiltes.
03:53He has this formidable line-up.
03:55They will be put to the test against the Red Lions today.
03:58Harvey Bonzahan drains it from long distance.
04:01As you can see, a while ago, they had a hard show with Gortiza.
04:04So, they know that anytime soon, Gortiza can explode.
04:08So, they had to hard show it.
04:10An offensive foul on the other side.
04:12So, good things happening for the AAC generals.
04:16They lead it early here, 6-5.
04:21Nigel Gonzalez is being called there.
04:24Red Lions, a rocky start so far.
04:27Nigel Gonzalez is already starting 5 even though he's from the AAC.
04:30So, it shows that Coach Uri has a lot of trust in them.
04:34That's his Alpha PG.
04:36Floppy action.
04:38Harvey, though, misfires this time.
04:41And Celso collects.
04:43Here comes Nigel Gonzalez.
04:45Celso.
04:47Hand off.
04:49Who will he pick?
04:51Look at the flow of it.
04:53Go to Paiusing.
04:55Celso.
04:57Good mismatch.
05:02Good recognition for Celso.
05:04He saw the mismatch there.
05:06Axel Drumal.
05:08Harvey all day.
05:10Yes!
05:11Pagsanhan with his second triple in the first.
05:16Good start for Pagsanhan.
05:18Six points with two out of three field goals.
05:21That's a nice start for Harvey.
05:2310 points against Piniog.
05:26But it's good to see him find the touch early on.
05:30Gonzalez.
05:32Five.
05:34This guy also has the range.
05:36Andrada with the short stab.
05:40Wait. We have a timeout here.
05:42It is 9 to 7.
05:44Almost four minutes gone.
05:46The AAC. We'll be back.
05:53Don't be afraid to receive the ball.
05:55And let's work on the pass.
05:57That's from the Arellano Chiefs.
05:59Wait for it.
06:01Nice. Laisel Galpo.
06:03Just like our second quarter.
06:05Yes.
06:07So let's see.
06:09Arellano should attack here.
06:11Basti Valencia.
06:13What a fade away.
06:15Going downhill.
06:17That one rolls out.
06:19Arellano has a chance to inch closer.
06:21Valencia with a spin.
06:23Yes!
06:25Valencia!
06:27And the Chiefs are within one.
06:37This game.
06:39Harvey Pagsanhan was 0 out of 5.
06:41From long distance.
06:45In this first few minutes.
06:47He has nailed a couple already.
06:49And he shows us.
06:51That he is capable of knocking down.
06:53These long distance attempts.
06:55And he has that.
06:57In his offensive wheelhouse.
06:59Good start for AAC.
07:01They're leading by 2.
07:03But they need to be consistent.
07:05Especially if they're facing against a defending champion.
07:07So 9 to 7.
07:09Earlier. Right before.
07:11We headed into the quick break.
07:13It was Ukien Andrada scoring on the push shot.
07:15The main scorer.
07:17Fantastic.
07:19And here comes James Paiosing.
07:21Defending champion.
07:23Looking to tie.
07:25R.C. Kalimag.
07:27Nice speed.
07:29Paiosing.
07:31Ukien left with space.
07:37But if you're AAC.
07:39That can't happen again.
07:41Leaving Ukien Andrada wide open.
07:43He'll make that for sure.
07:45He'll dodge the bullet right there.
07:47Because it's a sure shot.
07:49And Ukien will score on his favorite.
07:51That corner.
07:53Here it is.
07:55Brian Zahon replaces R.C. Kalimag.
07:5921 points per contest.
08:01Coming off a career high.
08:0326 points.
08:05It's like the NCAA has become his playground.
08:07Yes.
08:11He's really translating his game here.
08:13All the way from the ball.
08:15That's going to be against San Beda.
08:17King Gortiza is down.
08:21It's going to be on Paiosing.
08:27Paiosing will be replaced by
08:29Jomel Puno.
08:31This guy I like.
08:33He really sticks to his rule.
08:35Getting the rebounds.
08:37Doing the dirty work.
08:39He doesn't care about points.
08:41Really.
08:43Give him the chance.
08:45He can also create for himself.
08:49This is San Beda's front line.
08:51Andrada and Puno.
08:53It's hard to stop.
08:55That's too long.
08:57Pena Estacio is also in the game.
08:59Brian Zahon.
09:01No.
09:03And here comes
09:05R.B. Pagsanan.
09:07Axel Dormal.
09:09Dormal stops and waits.
09:11Dormal is still quiet.
09:13But it's still early.
09:15Gortiza.
09:17Yes.
09:19Shot for Gortiza.
09:21And EAC
09:23doubles up.
09:2514-7.
09:27Let's get back to the action
09:29after this.
09:35Right off the
09:37gumball.
09:39King Gortiza off the screen.
09:41He knocks it down.
09:43Wasting no time
09:45to make his presence felt.
09:47As expected.
09:49Pull-up jumper is out.
09:51Here comes
09:53R.B. Pagsanan.
09:55Gortiza on the touchdown.
09:57EAC
09:59is starting
10:01off strong.
10:03I was surprised when he said
10:05that he improved
10:07when it comes to three-point shooting.
10:09Here he is.
10:11Gortiza.
10:13A more open look.
10:15It's raining threes for EAC.
10:19It is raining
10:21threes for EAC
10:23here in the first quarter.
10:25This was an inside basket
10:27that we saw earlier coming from
10:29Wilman Oftana.
10:31Step back.
10:33He saw that he had a mismatch
10:35with Andrada.
10:37So he put some moves on him.
10:39Do you know how lucky they were
10:41last game against Benilde?
10:434 out of 5, 3 points.
10:45That's right.
10:47Here, their luck
10:49came back from the Benilde game.
10:51This is a fantastic
10:53start for EAC, especially against
10:55the defending champions.
10:57Let's see if they can sustain it.
10:59Sanpeda
11:01Big lineup for Peda right now.
11:03This is
11:05the Red Lions.
11:13And here comes Doromal.
11:15Axel uses the screen.
11:17Doromal saw the space.
11:19He will spray.
11:21And off for Harvey.
11:234 and 10 to go.
11:25Harvey has time.
11:27He saw a mismatch.
11:29A jumper this time.
11:31He's feeling it.
11:33Hey, Gortiza!
11:35Gortiza with a couple of
11:37baskets for EAC.
11:39That will stretch their lead to 9.
11:4116 to 7.
11:43But take note, Gortiza's shots
11:45are not easy. They're all off balance.
11:47Step back.
11:49Here's
11:51Estacio.
11:53Pulling the trigger.
11:55Doesn't get it.
11:57Andrada offensive board.
11:59Estacio. Puno shortstop.
12:01Might save.
12:03Zahonya steps
12:05into it. And finally breaks the
12:07dry spell for Sanpeda.
12:09First basket for Zahonya.
12:11Maybe it's a one-two.
12:15And for the Red Lions, he's gonna
12:17weather the storm here in the
12:19first.
12:21Gortiza
12:23looking for Luciano. Puno's waiting.
12:25Luciano. Feet underneath.
12:27Harvey misses.
12:31Puno.
12:35And that's good steady defense.
12:37The foul was called by JC Luciano.
12:39But he got the job
12:41in preventing an easy basket.
12:43I think Gortiza in this stretch
12:45has been falling.
12:47But even though Gortiza's shots are hard,
12:49he practices that.
12:51He always does that.
12:53That's why it's comfortable.
12:55Zahonya
12:57nailing the first triple for
12:59Sanpeda.
13:01Jomel Puno
13:03at the free-throw line.
13:05Here's the point guard.
13:09Here's Gerson.
13:11Also Harvey Pagsanhan
13:13going to the bench.
13:15Paulo Bagay followed.
13:17Lefty shooter.
13:19This is Ochavo when you're fighting.
13:21He's really good at defense.
13:23He's really aggressive.
13:25If you're AAC, you're really lucky
13:27with his players.
13:29You really need to have that kind of player
13:31who has a lot of energy.
13:33Is Ochavo your opponent?
13:35Yes, he is.
13:37I told you not to go to defense.
13:39Go to someone else.
13:41Go to Okzun.
13:43Kyle is really aggressive.
13:47His body is strong.
13:50Wilmaro Puno
13:52free!
13:55That has become the main weapon
13:57for the generals.
13:59AAC is still hot
14:01with the three points.
14:03Five of six.
14:05Impressive.
14:07Jomel
14:09Puno
14:11with the spin down the middle.
14:13That's going to be a final choice
14:15on Wilmaro Puno.
14:17This guy
14:19is a knockdown shooter.
14:23From his days with Reynaldo University
14:25it's always been his calling card.
14:27Jomel Puno
14:29living at the free throw line here.
14:33Successfully fishing a foul.
14:35That's the reward for being aggressive.
14:37You're there at the free throw.
14:39You can get your points there.
14:41And he's been connecting
14:43very productive minutes here
14:45That's Coach Yuri Escueta.
14:49Aluchavo.
14:53The AAC retrieves.
14:55A lot of time to work with here.
14:59Gortiza against Puno.
15:01Off the ground.
15:03Gortiza catches.
15:05Takes the back iron.
15:07Maybe he should step back.
15:09He's not following.
15:11And he's going for it.
15:13To his home.
15:19Aluchavo.
15:21Estacio is going to attack.
15:25Yellow Loristo.
15:31Yellow Loristo.
15:33Very effective plays ran by AAC.
15:35Which is why they are
15:37on top by 7.
15:41Oh good pass.
15:43Estacio.
15:45He saw the defender bump in the corner.
15:47Leaving Estacio open.
15:49But he just missed it.
15:51But good pass.
15:53Can we get more?
15:55Gortiza.
15:59Aluchavo.
16:01Aluchavo.
16:03Slight drop off here.
16:05For Loristo from the free throw line.
16:07And here you see.
16:09He's high by 7.
16:11Maintaining their lead.
16:13Oh! Aluchavo and Agrada
16:15are in the lead.
16:17Estacio.
16:19They will spray it.
16:21Yuken. Strong.
16:23Yuken is a bit cold right now.
16:27So Sanbeda unable to
16:29find the mark.
16:31At least here in the first quarter.
16:33Kinol is in already.
16:35He's the guy who can also shoot.
16:37The opponent will be surprised.
16:39But Kinol can also shoot.
16:41Actually they have a deep line up
16:43in the guard position.
16:45Here he is. On cue.
16:47Just missing his first shot.
16:49Wait. There's a foul.
16:51Oftana pushed him.
16:53Is this the second foul?
16:55No. It's the first.
16:57Pushing foul.
16:59Number 91, Wilmar Oftana.
17:01Only the first foul.
17:03So here's Payosing.
17:05Payosing is back in.
17:07Payosing is back in.
17:09Applying forecourt pressure.
17:11Eman Tagle.
17:13He's going down.
17:15Jomel Puno.
17:17Will attack Wilmar.
17:19Oh! Taken away.
17:21Aluchavo.
17:23He didn't go in.
17:25He made a foul but no one called.
17:27Payosing hand time.
17:29Payosing
17:31will earn a trip to the line.
17:3531 seconds left
17:37in the first quarter.
17:39Payosing.
17:41Slasher.
17:43High flying.
17:49Very athletic as well.
17:51You know
17:53if you're a slasher, you should
17:55do a short close out.
17:57But Payosing
17:59improved his three points.
18:01So it's really hard to stop this guy.
18:03So you have to take him
18:05from way out.
18:07Although he misfires on the first.
18:09James Payosing
18:11hasn't been the ideal start for him
18:13in season 100.
18:15That's what we expected.
18:17That's what I'll do for San Pedro.
18:19Because of the arrival of the other players
18:21he needed to give way.
18:25Aluchavo.
18:27Pagay.
18:29Wilmar Oftana
18:31will take this.
18:33Oftana turns around.
18:35Misses.
18:39And that's going to be a foul.
18:41But as you were saying Martin
18:43Payosing gave way for the rest.
18:45That's what's good about the team.
18:47If you're a finals MVP last season
18:49even if you're a go-to guy
18:51if it benefits the team
18:53you'll do whatever it takes.
18:55That's right.
18:57And for him
18:59I can't question
19:01what he can do in the court.
19:05Because he showed it in the finals
19:07he showed it in the final four last year.
19:11Maybe.
19:13Ooh!
19:15Ooh!
19:17Follow-up was missed as well.
19:19Had a good line.
19:21Doromal did not like the pull.
19:23He thought he was fouled.
19:25So 21-14
19:27to end the first quarter.
19:29We'll wait for EAZ
19:31when we return in the second quarter.
