00:00Alex Ricardo should do in the previous game.
00:02Well, it remains to be seen.
00:04It remains to be seen.
00:06Here, you have to use your best players, especially when it's a close game.
00:11Estrada
00:13gets the ball to Habillenar.
00:16Estrada loses control.
00:18Estrada, counter-steal.
00:20Wow! That's his shot.
00:23It's up and down.
00:27Still continuing his sweet shooting.
00:29When he played this game in Mapua, his outside shot was consistent.
00:32That's it.
00:34Great shot by Kylo Chamo.
00:38EAC quacknapping.
00:39Wow! Five points.
00:44Back-to-back baskets.
00:45Montecilio with a steal.
00:48Amongst the point guards of Letran.
00:50There are injuries.
00:51We will see them all in court.
00:53The heart and mind is at 101%.
00:55We are also missing Mone and Go,
00:57who are out sick from Letran.
00:58And Delfino, who is nursing his knee.
01:00For both teams, pressuring defense will be the key.
01:03But the head coaches have different reminders for their teams.
01:06Coach Gerson's reminder is that anything can happen.
01:09And any team can beat the other despite the odds.
01:12For Coach Allen, he reminds the Knights to be tough.
01:15React faster and get the score.
01:17Amongst these two, let's see who exerts more pressure.
01:20Back to you, Anton and Coach Hammer.
01:22Thank you very much, Yet, for those updates.
01:24The injuries here at EAC are heavier.
01:29You know, Anton, I don't believe in that.
01:31If they're wearing VEs, they're ready to play.
01:34Meanwhile, how about that for a triple?
01:39Gelo Loristo.
01:44And EAC forces a turnover.
01:51Gordiza missing his two shots.
01:53Five points.
01:54This is Gelo Loristo.
01:55Off broken, please.
01:57Hustle points.
01:58Jetrabakon with that extra possession.
02:02This is Lucero.
02:03Okay, this is already...
02:08That's it.
02:09Wow.
02:11Santos.
02:12And it's just too hard to stop Kevin Santos with that size and length.
02:17And with that aggression, getting a foul off Gelo Loristo,
02:22that is the second personal foul of Gelo Loristo.
02:27Usually, when he passes the elbow area,
02:33you want your big guys to just stay in front, raise their hands.
02:37Maybe that's for Umpad.
02:39Of course.
02:41Kinal.
02:42Pull-up.
02:43Estrada with the rebound.
02:46Estrada.
02:48Good screen.
02:49Pulls up.
02:50One of the very best in the league at backing that shot off the glass.
02:56So again, because Lucero was hit by the blind screen,
03:00he recovered.
03:01This is what I was saying earlier, that your guard is good,
03:04but the extra motion, because it happens.
03:07Contact will always happen.
03:08You shouldn't...
03:09Really doing well in this game.
03:11So Roman.
03:13Well.
03:14Well, oh, well.
03:15I've seen you when you're dressed.
03:17When you're dressed.
03:21Jumawas.
03:23Wow, what a shot!
03:25By James Jumawas.
03:27Shot maker.
03:28Shot maker, really.
03:30And a good percentage player, Jumawas.
03:33And you can count on defense.
03:35That's where Coach Allen is strong.
03:36If you're reliable defensively,
03:39you would get minutes from him.
03:41Gorteza.
03:42Wow, what a move!
03:44King Gorteza with a burst of speed!
03:48And that's what he really improved in his game.
03:52That he didn't attack anymore.
03:54And with the experience in the pro leagues,
03:57it gave him a lot of confidence.
03:59And speaking of improving his game,
04:01we've been raving about his improved outside shot.
04:06Gorteza, not that time.
04:07Player of the weekend.
04:10Doromal.
04:12Picks up the loose ball.
04:13Doromal, in and out.
04:15Axel Doromal.
04:16That's the Doromal that we know.
04:20Picking up the ball.
04:21Off the backboard.
04:23Canceling the screen.
04:24This is the penetration.
04:26One rip.
04:27Straight away.
04:28Timaano's help was too far.
04:30He was able to get the ball down.
04:34A little show and go.
04:37Sitting in the air.
04:39Picking up the ball.
04:41Sitting in the air.
04:42Or even eating.
04:45And the trap easily breaks the press.
04:48Santos.
04:51Montecilio.
04:5214th.
04:53On the shot clock.
04:58Montecilio.
04:59With the crossover.
05:01Santos.
05:02With the finish.
05:03Kevin Santos.
05:05Basic.
05:06As long as you're in the dunker spot.
05:09Matt Montecilio loved the defense.
05:13Habits.
05:14Habits.
05:15No helper.
05:16Devara.
05:17Sticking to the shooter.
05:19Deacuahau got the ball.
05:21So if he breaks down on that pick and roll.
05:23And the person gets the ball.
05:25Shooter.
05:26Loaded side.
05:27So it's free.
05:29Pagsanhan.
05:30Accelerates.
05:32Harvey Pagsanhan.
05:33What a move.
05:34That is when he is the deadliest.
05:37He's going downhill.
05:39Getting a good flat screen.
05:40From Jacob.
05:42Straight.
05:44With a flight.
05:45That's where it's hard for Harvey Pagsanhan.
05:47You know, that flat screen.
05:49Going to the baseline.
05:51Then he got a flight.
05:54The takeoff is far.
05:56But it's athletics.
05:58Long jumper.
06:00Ochavo.
06:01Returned to Quinal.
06:04Loristo.
06:05Quick hands.
06:06Pulled away by Estrada.
06:08And Jimboy Estrada.
06:10Oh, that's a basket.
06:12Goal tending.
06:28Clearly a goal tend.
06:29You can move the ball when it's inside the cylinder.
06:33The role of Gabe Norwood for the National.
06:36Should provide heavier firepower.
06:41Backdoor.
06:42Quahau.
06:43Gets the ball back.
06:45Oh.
06:46Late decision.
06:47But Santos gets it to go.
06:50Just in time.
06:54Good and selfish basketball.
06:56This is Harvey Pagsanhan's attack.
06:58Pagsanhan.
07:01And a putback by Pabon.
07:03And an extra passing.
07:04Quahau.
07:06Finding Kevin Santos underneath the basket.
07:10Another headwood play for Kevin Santos.
07:13Good play.
07:14Gortiza from the corner.
07:16Gabe Gortiza.
07:17Three.
07:18Three.
07:27Third foul by Wilmar Oftana.
07:32Good action there.
07:37So Gortiza's got seven points in this game.
07:46Estrada.
07:48Javillanar.
07:50Extra pass.
07:51Quahau.
07:53Another one.
07:54Deo Quahau from the left corner.
07:57High shot for Deo Quahau.
08:00Off the catch.
08:01Jab and shoot.
08:03But.
08:04There is a response from King Gortiza.
08:08It's hard for King Gortiza here.
08:10It's like he's the one who's going to get the ball.
08:14Gortiza now has ten points.
08:18Dunak.
08:20Javillanar.
08:23Estrada.
08:24Six on the shot clock.
08:26Montecilio has the fire.
08:29It's an air ball.
08:41One of the best in terms of using the shot fake.
08:44Deo Quahau.
08:45Because he's already shot.
08:47The shot fake really works when you're already shot.
08:49When you're in the elevator scene.
08:52Short.
08:54Gortiza.
08:56Pinoy step.
08:57King Gortiza.
09:00Good shot there by King Gortiza.
09:03He's the only one who's going to get the ball.
09:06Pagsanhan is still absent.
09:07The points are still coming in.
09:11Oftana.
09:12There's no drum roll.
09:14Estrada versus Gortiza.
09:16Eyeball to eyeball.
09:20Eye to eye.
09:23He stayed low.
09:27There's King Gortiza with the Pinoy step.
09:34It's hard to do that.
09:37Javillanar.
09:39Miller.
09:40Pass deflected.
09:43Miller.
09:44On the move.
09:45Miller.
09:46Wow.
09:50Good move by Jace Miller.
09:53He needed that field goal.
09:59Just checked into the game.
10:01Jace Miller has.
10:03Wow.
10:06Lucero with the response.
10:08Yes.
10:12Latrante can improve.
10:15But showing a lot of potential.
10:19Estrada.
10:21Pulls up.
10:22Chiboy.
10:23Chiboy Estrada.
10:24One of the best.
10:27In the NCAA with regards to the mid-range game.
10:30Yes.
10:31And he's comfortable playing.
10:33He's going to measure the defense.
10:39Lucero.
10:40So again, that automatic backdoor.
10:42I've been telling you the whole coverage that every time that there's a single high out.
10:50Pulls up.
10:51Chiboy.
10:52Those angles.
10:53Chiboy Estrada.
10:55One of the best in the league.
10:58With a middie.
11:00Off the glass.
11:03By Paksanhan.
11:08Guajau.
11:09Three to shoot.
11:10Guajau from way, way out.
11:13Javier Linar could not hold on to the basketball.
11:16And Axel Doromal goes all the way.
11:19But too strong off the glass.
11:21And here comes Miller.
11:23Miller loses control.
11:25Gurtiza.
11:27Gurtiza throws it out.
11:30Wild sequence right here.
11:32Gurtiza.
11:36Santos in front of him.
11:37King Gurtiza is on fire.
11:42Big shot by King Gurtiza.
11:43Six out of 19 from the field.
11:46He'd be a willing shooter.
11:5018 points in the game for Gurtiza.
11:54Matching a season high.
11:59Santos.
12:01Pulls up.
12:02Santos.
12:03Santos.
12:05Smooth floating jumper off the face up.
12:0713 points for Kevin Santos.
12:10Watch out.
12:12Gurtiza.
12:14With 18 points in this contest.
12:18But what about Kevin Santos?
12:29It's on him.
12:30Santos.
12:32Can't be stopped.
12:33Kevin Santos.
12:34Kevin Santos with another clutch basket.
12:3815 points.
12:39160% shooting.
12:42Ball to big.
12:44Chipoy.
12:47Turns.
12:48Fires.
12:50Chipoy.
12:51Estrada.
12:58Octana.
13:02And Jacob.
13:04Is able to score.
13:05This is just a 3 point ball game Anton.
13:07One possession.
13:08One stop for EAC.
13:10And get them closer or tie the ball game.
13:12So they've been milking this ISO.
13:17They're letting Chipoy, Estrada cook.
13:19This is it.
13:20They want to bring him to the switch.
13:22Chipoy will attack the big guy.
13:25Estrada to Santos.
13:28A new career high.
13:29A new career high for Kevin Santos.
13:32From Chipoy, Estrada.
13:34Here we see Diego Guajau's signal.
13:36He's relaxed.
13:37Chipoy, Estrada's reading is good.
13:39Because he got a basket.
13:42Because he got a basket, he's helping.
13:44This is small to big.
13:46Look at this attack.
13:47He was left behind.
13:48The help side is with him.
13:49And that was a solid dunk.
13:51Off that baseline.
13:53In the dunker spot.
13:54Again, Chipoy, Estrada is not being read.
13:56The person is with him.
13:57He's reading where the help side is coming from.
14:00No one went down for that big guy.
14:02Kevin Santos with that powerful dunk.
14:04Prior to that dunk.
14:06Santos' career high was 16 points.
14:1017 markers today.
14:13For Kevin Santos.
14:17Dorobal.
14:19Three.
14:20This is Patsanhan.
14:22Blocked by Santos.
14:23That's block number six.
14:25Dorobal for three.
14:28But time will run out.
14:31On the EAC Generals.
14:37Another tough loss.
14:39Another tough pill to swallow.
14:44For a team.
14:48That many expected to improve.
14:51But the Neturan Knights winning back-to-back games for the first time.
14:54Under coach Alan Ricardo.
14:57Tough win for the Knights.
14:59They were able to control the game.
15:04And the EAC, the young guys, were able to hold the fort for this finishing kick.
15:12Final score, 75-73.
