00:00But as you said Anton, Atobarba is always off the bench.
00:03But there's also an advantage when he's off the bench.
00:05Sometimes, you can read the defense of Mapua
00:08or the adjustments that are needed
00:09so that when you go in, you're ready.
00:13First possession will go to Mapua.
00:17LPE showing a 1-2-2 defense.
00:19They always do this at the start of the game.
00:22And they come up with a steal right away.
00:25Touchdown! Greg Guenanan!
00:28As I said earlier, Anton,
00:30these two teams like to run,
00:32score on fast break points.
00:33Those are two fast-paced teams.
00:35So, we expect a lot of things like that to happen.
00:38So, it's a chess match early on.
00:40We see the defensive adjustment for Coach Gilbert Malaban
00:45and second steal.
00:48Another fast break point.
00:50Ah, he just missed that.
00:51Mobiliar comes up with a rebound.
00:53So, better transition defense, Prince, for Mapua.
00:57This guy, Mobiliar, undersized, big.
01:00But he knows how to position himself to get those rebounds.
01:04And he knows.
01:05He plays big, Prince Mobiliar.
01:09And maybe that breakout performance in their last game
01:12will make him even more consistent.
01:15That would definitely be a confidence booster for Mobiliar.
01:20Here's the drive.
01:22Penafiel missing.
01:25Balik ang bola dito sa Mapua.
01:28They're running again.
01:31Wow, how about that?
01:33Jericho Bancale dere-derecho.
01:36And he even draws a foul.
01:38Fearless, this guy, Bancale.
01:41Kahit na...
01:43Pero good steal. Good steal for Iglesias.
01:47Reminds me of a Prince Carlos coast-to-coast.
01:52Coast-to-coast.
01:53Pero sa akin, mintis eh.
01:54Sa kanyang maasok eh.
01:56You're being modest, Prince.
01:59Three-point play.
02:00Completed by Jeco Bancale.
02:05Greg Cunanan.
02:06Prince, two different kinds of point guards guarding each other right now.
02:10Actually, Cunanan, he's more of a pass-first type of guard.
02:14While Bancale, more of a slasher-scorer type of guard.
02:19Montaño.
02:20Montaño missing on the three.
02:22We have a chance for us to go courtside and get the first report from Bianca Alejandre.
02:28Today is nothing short of thrilling for everyone in the audience
02:31for we are witnessing a riveting battle of Intramuros.
02:34For the soaring Cardinals, they are eager to make their mark
02:37and strike dominance once again just as coach Randy Alcantara has said.
02:41Energetic at positive naman sila as we are ready sa game na ito.
02:45Sa panig naman ng mga pirata, they are entering with added determination
02:49to push their ranks up higher.
02:52As for coach Gilbert Malabanan, given that Mapua is a strong contender
02:55the piratas are fighting with high spirits and a keen reminder
02:58that they still have to work hard to lift their standing.
03:01With both teams displaying tenacity and skill, let's see who can shift momentum
03:05and dictate the pace for a dynamic play.
03:07Yan muna, let's hear it from Anton and Prince.
03:10Thank you very much Bianca for getting us the approach from the coaches
03:15with regards to this all-important game.
03:18Samantana, Bancale na naman.
03:20Another N1 play for Bancale, showing his aggressiveness early this quarter.
03:28So that's five early points for Bancale.
03:31And look at him battle for that rebound.
03:36Pag-rebounds talaga Anton, it doesn't matter kung matangkad ka o maliit ka
03:40it's all about aggressiveness and positioning and technique.
03:44And Bancale just showing us that desire.
03:49Just wanting that ball more than the others.
03:54So back-to-back three-point plays para kay Bancale.
03:58Six points now.
04:04Baseline jumper, no lucky bounce there.
04:08Recto gets it to Escamiz.
04:10Escamiz stops, pops, and connects!
04:14And Mapua is off to a 7-0 start.
04:27Huwag kayong matakot tumanggap ng bola at rabahuhin natin ang biyaya.
04:31Yan muna mula sa panig ng Aralelo Chiefs.
04:35Maraming salamat, Laisel Galpo.
04:38Katulad nung second quarter natin.
04:41So let's see. Dapat dito mataki ang Aralelo.
04:44Oh, pass ni Valencia!
04:46What a fadeaway!
04:49Going downhill.
04:51That one rolls out.
04:53Aralelo has a chance to inch closer.
04:55Valencia with a spin!
04:58Yes!
05:01And the Chiefs are within one!
05:0430-2 for Ogu.
05:05Ito yung ataki ni Valencia.
05:07Actually, it's a 3-on-2.
05:10Hindi, aki na to.
05:11Hirap na na.
05:12Oo, diba?
05:13Ay, ano na lang eh.
05:18They're really looking for Peniel on that elevator action.
05:25Coach Randy Alcantara and his Mapua University Cardinals.
05:30Oh, Peniel Fiel using his speed!
05:34Yup, and that's what he does. Open courts last year, Peniel Fiel.
05:37He can go right or left.
05:39So if you're Mapua, dapat alam mo yung player tendency ni Peniel Fiel.
05:45I was gonna say, Coach Randy Alcantara leading Mapua to the NCAA Finals in two of the last three seasons.
05:51Just unable to win the championship.
05:53Escamiz mistiming that steal attempt and Guadagna scores.
05:59Another fast break point for Lyceum.
06:02They need to capitalize on that.
06:04Ayun yung strength nila eh.
06:09Let's go, Marcos!
06:11Escamiz.
06:12Good pick and roll action.
06:14Mobilia draws a foul.
06:19Let's go, Marcos!
06:25And this is what you were explaining, whether it's the right or the left, he can finish.
06:32Magkasalot ng fast break points yun para sa Lyceum.
06:362.14 seconds.
06:43Ken Kaduyak is now in for LPU.
06:50Mobilia.
06:52Back to Escamiz.
06:54Escamiz shoots a three.
06:56Just missed it.
06:58Wow, Bakale again crashing the boards.
07:01Lyceum running again.
07:03Guadagna.
07:07And the ball will stay with LPU.
07:09Guadagna just hit a dagger against Aureliano.
07:12He saved Lyceum in that game.
07:19Somehow in the endgame, the ball always ends up in the hands of Maklot.
07:24Yeah, that shows na mitiwala talaga sa kanya si Coach Gilbert.
07:27May green light siya.
07:29Wide open.
07:32Konanan.
07:36Umihawakan dun si Igliani.
07:38Hindi nakatalon si Aviles.
07:40Umihawakan siya.
07:42Eto, panorin natin.
07:50Aviles got a point.
07:52It was clear that Igliani was holding him down.
07:57Oh, I love this matchup.
08:00Escamiz and Guadagna.
08:02Aviles.
08:04In and out.
08:06Oh, tumama lang sa paa.
08:09Almost a steal there for Penafield.
08:16I like how both teams are very alert.
08:19Especially sa passing lanes.
08:22Eto, panorin natin.
08:25Bacale na libre.
08:28Jacob Bacale has nine points, Prince.
08:31Took advantage of that miscommunication sa Lyceum side.
08:35They didn't know if magsiswitch sila or magstay sa offense.
08:45Six-point lead for Mapua.
08:49Hard showing mag Guadagna.
08:52Oh, good behind.
08:55Good backdoor for Kunanan.
08:57Reading that defense na hindi nakatingin yung defense na walang vision.
09:01So, nag-backdoor siya.
09:05Bacale.
09:07Leaving wide open sa three points.
09:10What a hot start for him.
09:12Three points for Greg Kunanan.
09:20Yeah, Bacale has now nine points.
09:22Perfect sa field so far, Anton.
09:24And Prince, guess what?
09:25This is a career high already for Bacale.
09:28His previous career high was seven points.
09:31Mahaba pa tong game na to.
09:33But this is already his best NCAA game.
09:35So, Anton, first quarter pala.
09:37Nabit na nga agad yung career na.
09:39So, this is just his second season.
09:42Another guy who can score in Cyrus Cuenco.
09:46Bagong partner in crime ni Clint Escamiz.
09:49Cyrus Cuenco.
09:55Hubilia bringing down the ball.
09:57And calling his own number, Prince.
10:01That's the rookie eagerness of Hubilia.
10:05Guadagna against Escamiz.
10:09Doubling with Guadagna now.
10:12Simon.
10:16And he's fouled.
10:25Lawrence Mangubat, former Makua Red Robins star, is in.
10:31He also had an impressive game last game.
10:33I think he had three or four three-pointers last game.
10:37He's actually the number one three-point scorer here in the league so far.
10:41That's very impressive for a freshman.
10:44Yeah, for a rookie.
10:50Jabonete is also in now for Makua wearing jersey number seven.
10:54Good defense for Escamiz.
10:58From way, way out.
10:59From four points yun.
11:02Escamiz slipping, sliding.
11:04Mangubat for three.
11:07Oh my goodness.
11:09Unsportsmanlike foul.
11:12All players inside the court, please proceed in front of your respective fences.
11:16Kaduyak was holding on to the back of his head.
11:20I think he hit his face.
11:25You gotta see that.
11:26And Prince, it happened right in front of the referee.
11:28That's why he's so sure that it was an unsportsmanlike foul.
11:37Let's see if it was really on purpose or he was just going for the ball.
11:50Three minutes and 54 seconds.
11:53That is the time remaining here in the first period.
11:57There.
12:05There.
12:06Unsportsmanlike foul.
12:10But we're not sure why.
12:13We haven't seen the replay.
12:20But it's on Jabonete.
12:27The ball or an opponent.
12:32It's only the first quarter and the game is already heated.
12:34It's already physical.
12:36John Barba coming in to replace Simon Peña-Piel.
12:42Two free throws for Ken Kaduyak.
12:45Ken Kaduyak will shoot these technical free throws.
12:57Two teams coming off respective wins.
13:07And Mabua hoping to match these with a 4-1 record with a win today.
13:12That's what's at stake.
13:14Ato Barba is now in.
13:17Posting up Cuenco.
13:19Ato, the turnaround jump hook does not work.
13:23He recognized that he's bigger, he's stronger.
13:26So he posted him up, but he just didn't capitalize on that.
13:32Mangubat.
13:36Mangubat.
13:38Cuenco.
13:39Good pass.
13:40Mangubat will shoot.
13:43Oh.
13:45No box out.
13:460-4-2 now for Mangubat.
13:50And now it's Kaduyak called for a foul.
13:53Alright, let's go back to what happened earlier.
13:56Why was Abonete called on sportsman-like?
14:00Wow.
14:02That was clear, Antonio.
14:03That was an elbow to the face.
14:10Well, I'm just glad it didn't hit too hard.
14:14That was a straight elbow to the face.
14:17It looked solid to me.
14:18Good thing there was no cut.
14:20Chris Jovilia.
14:25So Jovilia will check out
14:32Balikabola here at the LPU.
14:37This is Anton C. Cunanan.
14:38This is the real definition of a point guard.
14:41He knows where his teammates are.
14:42He knows how to create space for them.
14:46Guadagna's attacking right.
14:49Strong right for Guadagna.
14:55You know the thing I like about
14:57these sparkle boys of summer
15:00that are being promoted, even though it's not summer anymore.
15:03You guys, you guys really mix it up.
15:09You welcome the contact.
15:11Of course, when we're in basketball,
15:13we don't think about our faces.
15:18I remember when I was still playing,
15:20I always got hit in the face.
15:23And that's the thing.
15:24In basketball, you can't predict
15:27when you'll get hit in the face.
15:30And like, if you get hit, and let's say you get cut,
15:33you can't work.
15:36That's true.
15:38That's why I stopped first.
15:41Priorities.
15:46Recto.
15:49Cuenco.
15:53And Mangubat, right place at the right time.
15:56Another offensive rebound for Mapua.
15:58They've had a few here already.
16:02Atobarba.
16:05Natape.
16:07Natape.
16:10At the top of the timeout, coach Randy.
16:12Timeout, Mapua Cardinals.
16:21Right off the jump ball.
16:25King Gortiza off the screen.
16:27Oh, he knocks it down.
16:29Wasting no time to make his presence felt.
16:33As expected, for King Gortiza.
16:36Ongotan.
16:37Pull-up jumper is out.
16:38Here comes Harvey Pagsanhan.
16:40Here comes Gortiza for a pass break.
16:42Gortiza on the touchdown.
16:44EAC is starting off strong.
16:49I was surprised when he said,
16:50Nigo Quinal improved a lot
16:52when it comes to three-point shooting.
16:55Here he is.
16:56Ochavo.
16:57Gortiza.
16:58A more open look.
16:59Oh, it's raining threes for EAC.
17:03That's crazy.
17:06Here's King Gortiza.
17:09Also contributing.
17:11That's different.
17:12Yes.
17:13Even if you say...
17:22Take a look at this rebound play.
17:26Lawrence Mangubat,
17:28just at the right place at the right time.
17:30Capitalizing on the opportunity.
17:36And now Renz Villegas is in for LPU.
17:40How tough was it, Renz,
17:41to guard a guy like Renz Villegas?
17:44Renz Villegas is a pesky guard.
17:45He's so fast.
17:46Actually, it's harder
17:47when he's the one guarding me.
17:49Because knowing him,
17:50he's very focused on defense.
17:52It's a lot of pressure on defense.
17:55So it's hard to defend.
17:59It's really annoying.
18:01Meanwhile,
18:03Kaduyak finds the open shot.
18:06Great find by Villegas.
18:08As you can see, Villegas pressuring Recto.
18:15Mangubat.
18:21Recto.
18:23Recto.
18:24To Cuenco for three.
18:26There you go.
18:27Cyrus Cuenco.
18:28Cyrus Cuenco.
18:29Specialty in the house.
18:30Three-pointer by Cyrus Cuenco.
18:35If you're Lyceum,
18:36you can't leave him any space.
18:38He's already shooting,
18:39so he'll gain confidence from that field.
18:43Kaduyak.
18:45To Barba.
18:46Cuenco is defending him.
18:47Barba's still quiet.
18:49Triple on the way.
18:51No goal.
18:52And Recto comes up with the rebound.
18:58Recto.
19:01That's a foul.
19:08Ready to shoot.
19:09Can't do that, Kaduyak.
19:12Coach Gilbert Manabana,
19:13liking it.
19:18Actually, I was waiting for Recto
19:20to explode in this game.
19:22He didn't have the moment
19:24when he exploded in the game.
19:27Because we know his capabilities,
19:28especially last season.
19:29J.C. Recto is really doing it.
19:33Another offensive rebound.
19:37Lawrence.
19:39Oh, what a spin.
19:40Ooh!
19:41Lawrence!
19:42What a move!
19:46Spin move.
19:47And a dipsy move.
19:50Puts Mapua up by four.
19:54Kaduyak.
19:55Oh!
19:56J.C. Recto.
19:57That's the worst kind of foul, Anton.
19:59Fouling on three points.
20:01What a move right there.
20:04Lawrence Manguban.
20:06Spinning and winning.
20:10Making the defense disappear.
20:12Fearless.
20:13His defender is going to attack.
20:15But there's no escape from this move.
20:19One of our top freshmen
20:22in the class of Season 100.
20:26Let's go!
20:31He just showed
20:32that he's not only good at three points,
20:34but he could also attack the basket.
20:39Yeah, in high school,
20:40he was the James Harden
20:42of the NCAA juniors.
20:44Wow.
20:45Comparing it to James Harden.
20:47Rockets James Harden, Prince.
20:49Rockets James Harden.
20:50Why did you say that?
20:51Because Harden is more on passive.
20:54Rockets James Harden.
20:56Green light.
20:57Shooting outside.
20:58Driving inside.
21:03Now it's a more point guard James Harden.
21:07He just wasn't able to catch that pass.
21:10But it was a good steal.
21:17There is Villegas.
21:20That's what he does.
21:21Too fast. Too furious.
21:24That's what he does.
21:26That's why I asked you earlier
21:27how hard it is to guard Villegas.
21:32Here it is again.
21:34Two deadlocks now in this game.
21:36Oh, what a pass.
21:38He's doing everything, Mangubat.
21:40Scoring, attacking the basket,
21:42dishing out assists,
21:44rebounds, offensive rebounds.
21:49Kaduya.
21:51Villegas.
21:52They go down low to the post.
21:56Kaduya steps back.
21:59And Jabonete comes up with the rebound.
22:01Mangubat still has time.
22:03Mangubat wants to shoot.
22:06Threw a foul there.
22:07That's a penalty.
22:10Good decision for Mangubat.
22:12Being aggressive and attacking the basket.
22:14Throwing a foul there.
22:19What a smart play.
22:21Good pass.
22:27Mangubat got the ball with four seconds left.
22:30Drove hard, threw the foul.
22:33And now sinks the first free throw.
22:35He has five points now.
22:41In this day and age with all the recruitment,
22:43Mapua is very lucky to have been able to keep this kid.
22:49Barba.
22:50Runs out of time.
22:51And that will do it for the first quarter.
22:54Mapua leads LPU 25-22.
22:58Mapua Cardinals!
