00:00...suggested that Coach Alan Ricardo should do in the previous game.
00:04Well, it remains to be seen.
00:06It remains to be seen, the game of Kevin Santos.
00:11Might be a momentum builder for him, but again, it's just one field goal.
00:16You want a sustained performance for him.
00:19Knowing Coach Alan, he would put the guys that he trusts inside the game.
00:24The ones that will give him the chance to win.
00:28It was that one field goal and that challenge on the shot of Tony Inot.
00:33And there you go, Kevin Santos, going high for that rebound.
00:36That's what he needs to do for this team.
00:38Kevin Santos needs to rebound for them to get a little bit more chances when it comes to scouting.
00:45Because Paolo Javillon is now playing as a stretch four.
00:48Coach Alan is now developing him so that when he moves to the pros,
00:52Paolo will have more control in his outside shooting.
00:54So, Kevin Santos needs to control the rebounding.
01:02Oh, that's really it. That's the best 5-5.
01:13Wilmar Octana also starting for the first time this season.
01:16If I'm not mistaken.
01:18It's Postani, it's Bacot.
01:24Had some quality minutes in their last game.
01:27He's the main rotation guy.
01:29Coach Gerson Cabildes can play four, can play five on a very small lineup.
01:35Very potent outside shooter.
01:38Ochavo.
01:40Connects on that pull-up.
01:41Paolo Ochavo!
01:43This is what Ochavo likes, single high ball screen.
01:47Again, Paolo Javillon back at it like he never lived.
01:54So, you were talking about Wilmar Octana.
01:57He's only started one game so far, one of the five games.
02:12When you're playing against guys like Paolo Javillon,
02:15don't try to get it in your head.
02:17You just need to play, play through it.
02:19And you expect him to be just like that.
02:21And that's his game.
02:22That's his game.
02:25Estrada.
02:28Estrada to Santos.
02:29Santos!
02:30Oh!
02:33Loristo meeting him at the top.
02:36But you like to see an aggressive Santos.
02:39They haven't seen that for the longest time.
02:41This is Kevin Santos.
02:43He's trying to elevate and just...
02:452-3-0 for Kevin Santos.
02:47Ball up high.
02:49On that body contact that we called, referees.
02:56Santos seeks the first free throw.
03:00It'll be good for him to get going, really.
03:03And for Letran to make it to the Final Four,
03:06he must be consistent.
03:09Because if you look at their rotation on the big guys,
03:11they're both Kobe Monge.
03:13You gotta be tough to the players that are...
03:16that has championship experience.
03:18They have it there.
03:20And one of the things also that we noticed,
03:23with regards to the rotation of Coach Alan Ricardo,
03:26he abandoned the platoon substitution.
03:29It's over for Pasarelo and SVP.
03:31Here, you have to use your best players,
03:33especially when it's already over.
03:36Estrada.
03:38Gets the ball to Abillonar.
03:41Estrada loses control.
03:43Estrada, counter-steal.
03:46Guajau.
03:47That's his shot.
03:48It's up and down.
03:50Way of Guajau!
03:51Three!
03:52Still continuing his sweet shooting.
03:54When he played with Mapuha,
03:56he was consistent with his outside shot.
03:57That's it.
03:59Great shot by Kylo Chamo.
04:03EAC clock-napping!
04:04Way of Guajau!
04:06Five points!
04:08Back-to-back baskets.
04:10Montecilio with a steal.
04:13Amongst the point guards of Lebron.
04:15I've been outspoken.
04:17This Montecilio,
04:18I'm really fortunate to play with him.
04:20Very steady.
04:22Steady.
04:23High-percentage player.
04:26Won't be too ahead of himself.
04:28Executes patterns.
04:30And he knows where his teammates are effective.
04:32One on the right.
04:34Now, let's go courtside
04:35and hear from Yen Supan
04:36for her first report in this broadcast.
04:38Yen?
04:39Anton and Coach Hammer,
04:40for today's game,
04:41we have three injured players from EAC.
04:44Gertiza recently hit his hand
04:46and is playing at 80% today.
04:48Doromal has a concern in his hamstring
04:50and is playing at 85% today.
04:52And Lucero has an unwell Achilles
04:54but is playing at 100% today.
04:56Despite their injuries,
04:58we will see them all in the court.
05:00The heart and mind is at 101%.
05:02We are also missing Bonhe and Go,
05:04who are out sick from Letran and Delfino
05:06who is nursing his knee.
05:08For both teams,
05:09pressuring defense will be the key.
05:10But,
05:11the head coaches have other reminders
05:13for their teams.
05:14Coach Gerson's reminder is,
05:15anything can happen.
05:17And any team can beat the other
05:18despite the odds.
05:19For Coach Allen,
05:20he reminds the Knights to be tough,
05:22react faster,
05:23and get the score.
05:24Among these two,
05:25let's see who exerts more pressure.
05:27Back to you, Anton and Coach Hammer.
05:29Thank you very much, Yen,
05:30for those updates.
05:31The injuries here at EAC are heavier.
05:36You know, Anton,
05:37I don't believe in that.
05:38When they're wearing VEs,
05:39they're ready to play.
05:41Meanwhile,
05:42how about that for a triple?
05:46Gelo Loristo.
05:51And EAC forces a turnover.
05:58Gordiza missing his two shots.
06:01Five points.
06:02This is Gelo Loristo.
06:03Off-broken plays.
06:04Hustle points.
06:05Jetro Bacon with that extra possession.
06:10This is Lucero.
06:11This is a good point guard.
06:12As long as he can control his extra actions.
06:16He's shifty.
06:18He can engage the offense.
06:20But he has a lot of extra...
06:22extra something-something
06:24when he plays.
06:25And he's also a veteran.
06:27If you want a second guard,
06:30they need Montecilio Estedi.
06:34He doesn't turn over.
06:36He doesn't shoot bad shots.
06:39But he's good at reading.
06:40He's good at reading the pick-and-roll.
06:42If he just plays in control,
06:44this kid is really good.
06:47So, the two players
06:48who are injured,
06:50Gordiza and Lucero,
06:54are in for EAC.
06:56But as you said, Coach Hammer,
06:58if you're in uniform,
07:00you're 100%.
07:02Especially when I'm the one being asked.
07:04If you're playing against us,
07:06tape it and forget it.
07:07Unless you can't get up,
07:09that's when you shouldn't be playing.
07:13Missing out the first free throw right there.
07:15You're conditioning the whole offseason, right?
07:17Those aches and pains like that.
07:20Can you play that?
07:22Pustanes.
07:26Pustanes.
07:30Gets that one to fall
07:32as we see the tape
07:34on the hand
07:36of King Gordiza.
07:41We're playing for the ice water.
07:43Even with our feet.
07:45If it doesn't hurt, right?
07:47So, King Gordiza will fight.
07:49And Lucano will fight.
07:52Lunag is now in.
07:54Wow. Wild pass.
07:58King Gordiza can't be seen
08:00running up ahead.
08:02Double high play.
08:04Roller popper action.
08:09Loristo again.
08:11Luciano draws the foul.
08:15This is JC Luciano.
08:17He's also a veteran player.
08:20This is our breakout game against Envera.
08:224 of 4 from three-point area.
08:24So, he was a missing link last game.
08:27And right here he gets
08:29two free throws and that might get him going
08:31in this ballgame.
08:32And when we come back,
08:33he will shoot those two free throws.
08:35Don't go away.
08:50Medina for the first time.
08:53I thought it was short.
08:54The follow through didn't go straight.
08:56Medina.
08:57This is a big zone.
08:581-3-1 now for Sebastian.
09:00Trying to get into their zone of offense.
09:02JRU wants to get that
09:04shooter loading on the corner.
09:09Let's check in with our
09:10ManCom representatives.
09:13That's Father Vic Calvo.
09:14Junior OP of Colegio De San Juan de Letran.
09:20Letran with a chance to
09:22win back-to-back games
09:24for the first time
09:26in the Alan Ricardo era.
09:30We are in that era now.
09:38It feels like
09:40it never changed.
09:43I don't know what to say.
09:45It feels like it never changed.
09:49As you guys have known each other since
09:51Pampers.
09:55Since diapers.
10:04Luciano.
10:07In and out.
10:09Lane violation on that
10:10trash board by
10:12Alde Alacero.
10:16Coach Gerson Cabintes.
10:18Second season
10:20at the helm for EAC.
10:22We also saw that Letran's pace slowed down.
10:25Instead of playing helter-skelter.
10:28They're playing within their own pace.
10:31They can see the actions developing.
10:35Otocilio.
10:37Estrada.
10:40Guajo has been waiting
10:42on that corner seemingly
10:44forever.
10:47During this season
10:50Estrada
10:53is still trying to find the groove.
10:56He's one of the top three scorers.
10:58But his reads.
11:00He's a high turnover guy.
11:03He can still clean up.
11:07Alacero.
11:08Turns the ball over.
11:10Another turnover.
11:15Santos.
11:18He gets it to their point guard.
11:20Montecilio.
11:22Steady.
11:26Tuna.
11:27Guajo.
11:29Santos.
11:30And it's just too hard
11:32to stop Kevin Santos
11:34with that size and length.
11:36And with that aggression.
11:39Getting a foul of Gelo Loristo.
11:41That is the second time
11:43that is the second personal foul
11:45of Gelo Loristo.
11:47As usual,
11:51when he passes the elbow area.
11:53You want your big guys to just
11:55stay in front, raise their hands.
11:58Just raise your hand.
11:59Because if you get contact
12:01the referees won't call you.
12:03You just wall them up.
12:06Kevin Santos, 6'6", from
12:08Masantol, Pampanga.
12:10The hometown of Nervin Flores.
12:12Former Arellano big man.
12:14Athlete.
12:20Harvey Pagsanghan is
12:22in the game for the first time.
12:23Let's see if he will
12:25come up with a better performance.
12:27Santos erases that shot.
12:29This might be the game for Kevin Santos.
12:36Santos is awake.
12:38He's alive.
12:40But can he stay consistent?
12:42That's the question.
12:44To do that.
12:46Santos with the offensive rebound.
12:52Traveling call on Santos.
12:54Good call by our officials
12:56after that power dribble.
12:58Here's the catch from above.
13:03The attack can't be soft
13:05when you're in the shaded area.
13:07Offensive rebound.
13:11Loristo snaps it.
13:16A scene catching.
13:18The Latran defense snapping.
13:22Very athletic for a big guy.
13:24He even got an outside shot.
13:29Floater in the lane.
13:32That's it.
13:33Harvey didn't catch the ball.
13:35Harvey is telling him to relax.
13:37Just execute.
13:43Four minutes and eight seconds
13:45remaining here in the first period.
13:50Lucero against Montesillo.
13:55Quinao face guarding Quahao.
14:00Estrada.
14:01Great two-man game.
14:03Loristo with a stop though.
14:08Harvey.
14:10JC.
14:13That's a foul on Luna.
14:15What Harvey is saying is
14:17let's attack because they can execute.
14:19They have an advantage in executions.
14:21They're targeting Luciano
14:23because he's good at passing on the post.
14:25On that snap action.
14:27That's where they get a lot of outside shots.
14:29Or the stagger screen.
14:31At the top.
14:32The shooter will go up on the other side.
14:36Nico Quinao went in.
14:38Another shooter.
14:49Luciano.
14:50Gets that first free throw to trickle in.
15:02Two for two.
15:03For JC Luciano.
15:20I am seeing
15:22J.R. Taganas.
15:24It's hard to miss.
15:26He is hard to miss.
15:29He is on the EAC side.
15:31In the tunnel.
15:33I also see Paguliano.
15:35Why is J.R. Taganas here?
15:37Because J.R. Taganas is playing
15:39for the semi-pro team.
15:41For the pro team.
15:42Coach Gerson Cabildes.
15:46Zaki didn't play.
15:48That's why J.R. Taganas is here.
15:50His son.
15:51They're teammates.
15:52J.P. Mendoza's son.
15:54He's also on that squad.
15:57Your brother is on the EAC side.
15:59So the next generation.
16:01We are in that generation Anton.
16:05They call me uncle.
16:11Pontesillo.
16:14Zoom action.
16:16He's been slingshotting that.
16:18Good way of handling it by
16:21EAC.
16:22Loristo is becoming a force for EAC.
16:26Good shot.
16:27Kinal.
16:28Rebound.
16:29Dunak.
16:33Pontesillo.
16:35Good finish by that Pontesillo.
16:37Again, gambling on that
16:39sundot.
16:40With Aldeo Lucero.
16:42Let's see if he wants to play.
16:49Dunak.
16:51And coach Gerson Cabildes
16:53calls a timeout.
16:54His team down by three.
17:13To the corner.
17:14Guadagna.
17:15Fourth to shoot.
17:16Guadagna.
17:17Fires a jump shot.
17:18Guadagna.
17:19Fires a jump for Risco.
17:27Arellano will try once again.
17:29Five seconds.
17:30Basti Valencia from the three.
17:32No good.
17:35There he is.
17:36NCAA legend.
17:37J.R.
17:38BB.
17:39Shaq Taganas.
17:42He's used to the color red.
17:44He's used to the color red.
17:46At least he's not wearing an EAC hat.
17:49One of the most intelligent players
17:51that we've seen.
17:52Oh yeah.
17:53One of the nicest too.
17:55I would vote for him
17:57as one of the best teammates ever.
18:00My favorite is Raymond Bagay
18:02because I spent a lot of time
18:04with both guys.
18:05But as you can see until now,
18:07he's still playing.
18:09JP Maguliano also there.
18:11Yup.
18:17And I wouldn't be surprised
18:19if Shaq will be part of the staff
18:21of Coach Gerson moving forward.
18:23Since being with Coach Gerson
18:24for the longest time,
18:25he knows the systems.
18:28He's also Coach Ato's producer.
18:29So he's really smart.
18:31He knows how to teach.
18:33It's just a smile.
18:35Bagay is probably there
18:37for Umpad.
18:38Of course.
18:40Kinal.
18:41Pull up.
18:42Estrada with the rebound.
18:45Estrada.
18:46Good screen.
18:47Pulls up.
18:48Chipboy!
18:49One of the very best
18:51in the league
18:53at banking that shot
18:55off the glass.
18:56So again,
18:57because Lucero was hit by the blind screen,
18:59he recovered.
19:00This is what I was saying earlier.
19:02Your guard is good.
19:03But the extra motion.
19:05Because it happens.
19:06Contact will always happen.
19:07You shouldn't be surprised anymore.
19:08Especially when you're playing Latron.
19:10They're a rugged team.
19:12And that was a good screen.
19:14Javillonar just went down.
19:16He wasn't chased.
19:17Just putting a speed bump.
19:19Because he arrived so fast.
19:20He was hit.
19:22So here, there's a review.
19:23Because he was seen swinging.
19:26So with the things that happened
19:28over the weekend,
19:29our officials will be more strict.
19:31And definitely they would review that.
19:38So on Sportsman Like Foul.
19:45On Aldeo Lucero.
19:47It's good to see again.
19:50On that play.
19:54After the screen.
19:55Because it was a side.
19:57It wasn't a blur screen.
19:59Javillonar just stopped.
20:01It was a speed bump.
20:02Side to side contact.
20:04So Lucero was surprised.
20:09Axel Doromal.
20:12So Axel Doromal playing with that
20:16strained hamstring.
20:23That's hard.
20:27Have you experienced a strained hamstring?
20:29Yup.
20:30I got my first strained hamstring
20:32when I played on that night game.
20:38And the thing about hamstring injuries are
20:41if you don't give your body time
20:43to rest and recover,
20:45you could strain it all over again.
20:47Because soft tissue injuries
20:49you can't really say.
20:51It's not like ACL tears.
20:53There's really a timetable for it.
20:55But soft tissue injuries
20:57are hard.
21:00Loristo with the rebound.
21:01Jelo Loristo.
21:02Really doing well in this game.
21:04Doromal.
21:06Well.
21:07Well, oh, well.
21:09When he's dressed.
21:11When he's dressed, he's ready to play.
21:13Adrenaline pumping right away
21:15for Axel Doromal.
21:19It's the first screen to go.
21:21Oh, pinch-punch action.
21:22To zoom.
21:24Javillonar.
21:25Gym boy.
21:26As a free three.
21:27Javillonar.
21:28He's been working on that shot.
21:32Loristo has been all over the place.
21:35But Jelo Loristo is a bit tired
21:37because his minutes are extended.
21:39We'll remember that he's the one
21:41who replaced Tana.
21:43Luciano.
21:45Doromal.
21:46Axel on the pull-up.
21:54That's going to be AAC basketball.
21:56At least that's what the initial call is.
21:58There's Axel Doromal.
22:00Former number two scorer
22:02in the NCAA when he was with Arteano
22:04two seasons ago.
22:06But still trying to find his groove
22:08under his new ball club.
22:10So, I think there's blood
22:12dropping from the nose
22:14of Deo Quahog here.
22:16Inadvertent contact.
22:18And he was running to that bench.
22:20So, it is a...
22:25There's a challenge here for Coach Allen.
22:28And there would be a mandatory substitution
22:31because Deo Quahog has blood on that baseline
22:33getting treated.
22:41Deo rejoins the huddle.
22:43But he didn't.
22:45He ran there before the blood dripped.
22:48Alright, let's see it right here, Coach.
22:51So, it's going to be Netran basketball
22:53as their challenge was successful.
22:55I don't know if...
22:57You can't teach height.
22:59Six foot eight.
23:01Imagine if he's in the gym every day
23:03with Baby Shaq.
23:05Well, number one, you need to get him coordinated.
23:07You've got to get him coordinated.
23:09You've got to get him coordinated.
23:11You've got to get him coordinated.
23:13You've got to get him coordinated.
23:15You've got to get him coordinated.
23:17You've got to get him coordinated.
23:19You've got to get him coordinated.
23:21You've got to get him moving better.
23:23Template is Cliff Hopia, right?
23:25Before...
23:29But if you can get rebounds around your area
23:31and you can rim protect...
23:35Good shot by Deo Quahog.
23:37Deo Quahog.
23:39Eight early points here at this game.
23:45Harvey Patsalhan.
23:47Oh, wow.
23:49What a snatch back rebound
23:51by Montecilio.
23:53Gym Boy.
23:55Two-man game.
23:57Estrada.
23:59Montecilio.
24:03Montecilio.
24:05Stop and go!
24:07Montecilio is steady
24:09to Montecilio.
24:11I mean, I think he was supposed
24:13to be the backup guard of Titing Manalili.
24:15But now,
24:17given a bigger opportunity.
24:19Because their game is different.
24:21Titing is faster.
24:23Here, he can control the offense.
24:25And Coach Allen
24:27hasn't come out yet.
24:29It's really bad.
24:31Oh!
24:33Donut hesitating there.
24:35I would like to say
24:37that Coach Allen is like this.
24:39Like Nat?
24:41No.
24:43Coach Allen is like Lucero.
24:47A really passionate guard
24:49when he was still playing.
24:5325.1.
24:55That's the time remaining
24:57in the first quarter.
24:59He's a shot-maker.
25:01He's a shot-maker.
25:05James Jumawas is now in.
25:07Dimano
25:09checks in.
25:11They will get a stop here.
25:15Galoy checks in also
25:17for the first time for the
25:19Letranistas.
25:25Gurtiza.
25:27Toromal.
25:29Line drive.
25:31Jumawas with the board.
25:37Last shot time.
25:40Montecito.
25:42Stop and go again.
25:44Javelinar.
25:46At the buzzer.
25:48No.
25:50No lucky bounce that time for Paolo Javelinar.
25:52But the Knights
25:54are off to a blazing start
