00:00And they're led by Jimboy Estrada and the resurgence of Kevin Santos here in the NCAA, making a start here for Iletran.
00:12Santos coming off a career-high 17 points with 6 blocks in the previous game.
00:20The ball is up and the game is underway.
00:23It's the Alcaz vs. Knights here in Round 1 of our Elimination Round.
00:28Martin Aguirre alongside Big Bo.
00:30Tepica here in the coverage.
00:32Big Bo, are you sure we'll have a good comeback here?
00:34Yes, I'm sure.
00:36No one will give up easily here in these two teams.
00:39They were struggling from the start of the season, but here they are.
00:42They're here at the top of the standings.
00:45What I'm most excited about is these two guys from the Iletran side.
00:49Both Bigs, Kevin Santos and Pau Javillonar.
00:52This is what I want to see, that they're really together.
00:56Pau Javillonar and Kevin Santos, two of the few veterans in the lineup of Iletran.
01:04Both players are expected to lead the squad in Season 100.
01:10The first shot was a miss.
01:25Here he is, being watched closely by Sean Orgo.
01:40In their set-up play, they were just wasting shots before they take a shot.
01:45It's already an arranged shot for Montecilio, but he needs to take it.
01:50Mark Gojo Cruz is doubled.
01:52Abismay Libre to Anto Pangaran for three.
01:57Nothing there, Nunez hustling for the fourth.
01:59Gojo Cruz!
02:00Both teams are still winning.
02:02Firing blank so far, but Perpetua gets another chance.
02:06Gojo Cruz.
02:08Good intention, but Kuahao had a good reading of Gojo Cruz's pass.
02:16Kuahao coming off a solid game against EAC with 14 points.
02:21He's actually had a good string of games in this stretch.
02:24Santos.
02:25Big bow when he made that pass.
02:29He was a bit out of balance.
02:31That's what Kevin Santos needs to develop.
02:34Going for the drive, you know he can dribble.
02:38But when he was bumped off, you still need to stay steady.
02:42Your balance is still there.
02:45If not, our Vics will make fun of you.
02:48Gojo Cruz!
02:49Nice pass by Ordo.
02:50Finally opens the scoring.
02:51Nice pass by Ordo.
02:53Going for Gojo Cruz.
02:57MGC.
02:59Their super rookie.
03:01The star of their juniors team.
03:03Just a few months ago.
03:06Having a stellar rookie season.
03:08Kuahao!
03:09Come on!
03:11Give Kuahao a chance.
03:13He's a kid.
03:15Don't hesitate.
03:17He will take it.
03:19That's what he's saying.
03:21That's what he's practicing.
03:23Mr. Fagaran missing the layup.
03:25Battle for the rebound.
03:27It stays with Perpetual.
03:29Now we go first time to our courtside reporter.
03:32This is his first quarter report.
03:34Gleisel Garpo.
03:36Gleisel, go ahead.
03:38Today's matchup is a deciding game.
03:40Between our two teams looking to secure their fifth win.
03:43Latran Knights head coach Alan Ricardo told me.
03:45That he wants his guys to be able to sustain their starting lineups performance.
03:50They need to beat the Alta's and limit their scorers.
03:54Especially that he is expecting a lot of ball and player movement.
03:58And of course a good player rotation from them.
04:00Speaking of having dependable players.
04:02Kevin Santos told me that he is also focusing on muscle training.
04:07He is still lacking in body strength.
04:09But he might not be the biggest one inside the court.
04:11Let's hope that he will not give up in any match.
04:15Unfortunately, Koby Monge will continue to sit out for the base game.
04:18Because he is still recovering from being sick.
04:20Will it be another good day for the Knights?
04:22Martin and Bo?
04:24We'll see. Gleisel, thank you so much.
04:26Koby Monge, that's a big loss in the lineup of Coach Alan Ricardo.
04:28But he can still improve a lot in this lineup.
04:32And speaking of Coach Alan.
04:34Gleisel mentioned the starting unit of Netran.
04:36And I can't believe I'm saying this.
04:38Because Coach Alan is used to using his entire line of platoon substitutions.
04:43We are used to Coach Alan.
04:45In the last match, Big Bo.
04:4761 out of the 75 points of Netran came from his starter.
04:51That's what Coach Alan learned.
04:56That you can't use platoon-platoon substitutions here in Buligit.
05:00It's either 2 at a time or 1 at a time.
05:04Sometimes, he uses up the whole quarter for a veteran.
05:08That's right.
05:10This is where Coach Alan learns the least.
05:12And this guy, speaking of transitioning to the college game.
05:16There's no problem for Goho Cruz.
05:18Even if I'm a rookie, he said, I can do this.
05:22Kevin Santos misfires.
05:24Sean Orgo has it.
05:26And it's Manan and Perpetual with the early lead.
05:29Take out Goho Cruz.
05:31Decides to take it strong.
05:33Goho Cruz with another basket.
05:35He's got all 6 Perpetual points.
05:38When it comes to confidence, this guy is full of confidence.
05:43What a start for MGC.
05:51Here's the swing.
05:54Chimpoy. Oh, nothing there.
05:58Here's Javier Linar.
06:01Montecilio from on top here.
06:04Montecilio scoops it.
06:06Nunez pulls it down.
06:08Here's Goho Cruz again.
06:10Drop off this time.
06:12Addis.
06:14Bucket and beyond for John Addis.
06:16That's right.
06:18Goho Cruz is already there.
06:20Because Kevin Santos is already there.
06:248-3 lead for Perpetual.
06:26Let's go first to this timeout.
06:29Tumantano to the corner.
06:31Guadagna. Fourth to shoot.
06:33Guadagna. Fire to Chimpoy.
06:35Let's go!
06:38McClug Guadagna.
06:41Arellano will try once again.
06:435 seconds.
06:45Bastivalencia from the tree.
06:48McClug.
06:50And LPU Pirates
06:52survives another
06:54close game
06:56in this NCAA Season 100.
06:58Winning this game
07:00against Arellano University
07:0290-86.
07:04Tumantano to the corner.
07:06Guadagna. Fourth to shoot.
07:08Guadagna.
07:10Fire to Chimpoy.
07:12Let's go!
07:14McClug Guadagna.
07:16Arellano will try once again.
07:185 seconds.
07:20Bastivalencia from the tree.
07:22No good.
07:24And LPU Pirates
07:26survives
07:28another close game
07:30in this NCAA Season 100.
07:32The next game.
07:34Look at this. Goho Cruz with a reverse
07:36to open the scoring in the game.
07:38Here's his second basket
07:40from midrange.
07:42And then the drive right here.
07:45Thought about the three.
07:47Took it strong. Off the dribble.
07:49Goho Cruz now with 6 points.
07:51Even if Kevin Santos is there,
07:53this is his last dish-off down here.
07:55He saw that Kevin Santos
07:57was going to catch up.
07:59He knew he was going to catch up
08:01but he finds a way
08:03in the drop pass.
08:05Big Bo, we rarely see
08:07this kind of maturity
08:09from a legit freshman
08:11here in the NCAA.
08:13Goho Cruz's transition
08:15from the junior level
08:17to the senior level
08:19is like a veteran in the juniors.
08:21When he came here,
08:23he didn't change.
08:25He's the one with the rebound.
08:27Oh, denied by Santos.
08:29He had 6 of those
08:31against GAC.
08:33Extra pass.
08:35All day.
08:37Nunez.
08:39That's the pain
08:42of Letran.
08:44They were giving up too many offensive rebounds
08:46in their previous games.
08:48Here now, on that one possession,
08:50and the 3rd possession of Perpetual.
08:52And that's one of the specialties
08:54of Perpetual.
08:56Offensive rebounding.
08:58Cross-court pass.
09:00Nat Mondesilio stops.
09:02Ali Linar puts it on the floor.
09:04Swings it to Santos.
09:06Letran has run out of time.
09:08Letran is just
09:10circling the ball.
09:12They're not doing anything.
09:14They're not even driving.
09:16They're just dribbling it one side to the other.
09:18It's like
09:20they don't have
09:22a certain play.
09:24Usually, Big Boat, they go to
09:26Jimboa Estrada.
09:28Now, Montesilio is taking the lead.
09:30Perpetual
09:32looking to create a bigger lead.
09:34This has been their main man so far.
09:36T.C. pulling the trigger.
09:38Left it short that time.
09:40Good box-out for the
09:42Letran players.
09:44They're still trying to get it.
09:46One-and-ten possession
09:48for Perpetual. Here's Letran.
09:50Javi Linar.
09:52Jimboa here.
09:54Estrada.
09:56Gojo Cruz is following.
09:58Estrada. Ooh.
10:00Bothered by Nunez.
10:02Wow for three.
10:04Tripped in by Santos.
10:06That's what you can expect
10:08from Kevin Santos.
10:10You don't have to give him the ball.
10:12He will find his place in the offensive
10:14rebounding position.
10:16Let's see here.
10:18Kawhi Santos
10:20went here.
10:22He went up to his elbow.
10:24Right?
10:26That's how tall he is.
10:28That's the living
10:30ability of a kid.
10:32That's what you can expect
10:34from a kid.
10:36In their previous games,
10:38if you're with Perpetual
10:40and you see
10:42Kevin Santos, you'll be intimidated
10:44because he has six blocks out
10:46of the seven in their previous games.
10:48You'll think twice, right?
10:50Actually, you're outside.
10:52I think it's different.
10:54When you see him in the middle,
10:56it's easy.
10:58Let's think this through.
11:00I think you're outside.
11:02Yes, there are considerations like this.
11:30Jimboy
11:32from Descartes.
11:34Estrada, Montecilio.
11:36They're thinking. They're going in and out.
11:38Jimboy again.
11:4010 to shoot.
11:42Estrada.
11:44Leonar.
11:46Nope. Nunez
11:48pulls it down.
11:50Nunez secured the rebound.
11:52He knows Kevin Santos can get it,
11:54but...
11:56You can't jump.
11:58Nunez has a one-man advantage.
12:00Yes, in the game.
12:02If he knocks out Kevin Santos,
12:04he'll really get it.
12:06Nunez.
12:08Contested jumper.
12:10Doesn't get the bounce.
12:12Goho Cruz rips out the offensive board.
12:14Quick spin.
12:16He's really challenging
12:18Jimboy.
12:20You know, when you see
12:22a defender like Jimboy, he always wants to attack.
12:24Cross-court pass.
12:26Wow!
12:28Great else.
12:30Back one to the rim.
12:32Nice attacking.
12:34He can't get it on the other side.
12:36He didn't get it on the other side.
12:38I told you.
12:40He didn't get it on the outside.
12:42All around.
12:44Del Sano.
12:46Running into a wall.
12:48Montecilio.
12:50Foul by Goho Cruz.
12:52Good foul.
12:54Letran Knights are slowly coming back.
12:56As we expected.
12:58It is going to be
13:00a good one.
13:02Counterattack by Letran.
13:04One point lead for Perpetual.
13:06Leading us to this timeout.
13:08Off the bench
13:10for Del Sano.
13:14The players are fighting.
13:16You don't know who's going to score.
13:20Back out to Goho Cruz.
13:22Good challenge.
13:24He will knock it down.
13:28That's the scoring caliber
13:30that he has.
13:32Seven points for the rookie, Mark Goho Cruz.
13:34Quick trigger timeout called.
13:38Goho Cruz.
13:40In season 99,
13:42Junior's basketball.
13:44Runner-up finish of the Junior.
13:46Goho Cruz
13:48cleans up the mess.
13:52Four guys running down the lane.
13:54Tatlo yung nasa loo.
13:56Clean up that mess after that
13:58lay-up by Sean Orman.
14:00Nandodong tatlong tao tumatanong para sa Perpetual.
14:02Nakasafety lang si Mungis.
14:06Perpetual still starting off fast.
14:08Look at the rebound.
14:10One-hander by Pagaran.
14:12Ahead for Goho Cruz.
14:14Knock-knock baskets for the rookie.
14:16That's where he gets a lot of his points.
14:18Chris Pagaran
14:20almost a double-double.
14:2212 points, 9 rebounds in just
14:2424 minutes of action.
14:34Any given time, any given day,
14:36they will combine.
14:38Dito sa simula ng laban natin,
14:40medyo nagsastruggle pa siya.
14:42Kaya iwupo muna siya ni Coach O.
14:44Oo, nakailang try siya sa labas.
14:46Wala siyang mai-convert.
14:48Meantime, paalitan din ang tao
14:50para sa letran, Jace Miller
14:52is now in the game at the point.
14:54Si Nakmundesilio yung kanyang
14:56pinalitan. Wow!
14:58No.
15:00Santos.
15:02One more time.
15:04Diba?
15:06Pag hindi mo talaga nilagyan ng katawan,
15:08talongan nito when it comes to
15:10verticality,
15:12tsaka leaving.
15:14Kailangan talaga dito back-souting.
15:16Simple job.
15:18Kumakukuhan ng truck for sure.
15:20Kaya you need to put a value on him.
15:22Napuluhan niya dun.
15:24Ito si Pizarro.
15:26Tsaka
15:28nasa likod niya.
15:30So syempre, pag ito tumalong,
15:32mas malangas tumalong siya, puha talaga niya
15:34kahit anong gawing mo.
15:36Mag-iiba yung discarten.
15:38Ito rin yung Pizarro.
15:40Ang ginawa kanina ni Nunez, before siya tumalong,
15:42binack-sout niya. Buhagsak na lang sa kanya mag-isa.
15:46Kevin Santos. And he's making his free throws, Big Bo.
15:48Oh, it's amazing. Surprisingly.
15:50He's 4 out of 4
15:52sa free throws, ha?
15:54Kaya abangan na dito ang Medrano.
15:56Moral is now in the game.
15:58Montemayor
16:00floats it up.
16:02Kulang naman sa bounce-out itong si
16:04Leo Cuajaujo.
16:06Moral
16:08pulling the trigger.
16:10And Santos
16:12comes up with it.
16:14Jace Miller.
16:16Cuajau.
16:18Estrada.
16:20Kahimik pa sa laban.
16:22Ito maganda rin yung
16:24scheme ng perpetual
16:26dito kay Jimbo Estrada.
16:28Lagi may
16:30kasalubong.
16:32Santos is called for steps.
16:36Nakabangit mo lang yung defensive scheme
16:38ng perpetual. They force
16:40Santos to dribble that basketball.
16:42Ano din sila. Confident din sila
16:44na si Kevin Santos.
16:46Hindi titira sa laban.
16:48Kaya pagka siya nakarisip ng bola sa laban,
16:50hinakayaan nila.
16:52Oh, Jace Miller deflecting the pass.
16:56Turnover count natin. Nakakarami na
16:58ang letran. 5
17:00for the Knights and just 2 for
17:02perpetual.
17:04Silmanuel driving baseline. Saw the opening
17:06and took it strong.
17:08Nag-show ng
17:10letran doon. At the other side,
17:12tinatakit nito si
17:14Kevin Santos.
17:16Tinalis niya pa si Paujo Villanueva.
17:18Ganalo si
17:20Manuel sa sequence na iyon. Cross court.
17:22Miller
17:24sends it out.
17:26Cuajau.
17:28Off the backboard. 3 seconds.
17:30Miller needs to heave.
17:34And here comes perpetual.
17:36Nakakala ni Miller. Tumama sa ringin.
17:38Hindi niya alam.
17:40They only have 4 seconds to take the shot.
17:42Helzano.
17:44Helzano.
17:46He's bringing the Montemayor here.
17:48Line up for letran.
17:50Or for perpetual rather.
17:52Helzano from midrange. Shorts up short.
17:54Forward pass.
17:56Avilionar has the free lane.
17:58Good recognition para dito kaya Jimbo
18:00Islana. Kaya nakita niya
18:02nakuna na doon si Paujo Avilionar.
18:04After the challenge,
18:06kumpiasa si Paujo Avilionar.
18:08Oo nila yung bola. Kaya tumangpunan.
18:10Here's the drive.
18:12Di nakaamo yan.
18:14Ito si Montemayor at Pizarro.
18:16Ganda sana yung dish na iyon. Libre yung libre.
18:18Hindi lang expected nung big.
18:20Yun yung sinasabi natin.
18:22Every time you see somebody's driving
18:24and then the defense collapses,
18:26expect if you're a big at the bottom of the
18:28block, expect na
18:30papasa sa iyo yan.
18:32Very seldomly na aatakin
18:34yung guards. Yung dalawang
18:36dipensa. Kasi may sasalubong
18:38sa kanila. Oo, mayroon na mayroon.
18:40Ito, both teams
18:42are in the zone.
18:44Avilionar misfires.
18:46Pizarro gets the board.
18:48And that's the end
18:50of our low-scoring first quarter.
18:54Letran pulling ahead.
18:5611 to 10.
18:58That's a hairline lead
19:00for the Letran Knights.
19:02Exciting game so far.
19:04Low-scoring. Defensive-minded
19:06teams battling here.
19:08Pagbalik po natin. Second quarter of
19:10this game. Ito pong NCAA Season
19:12100.
