00:00As our crew chief, Lucas Camis, of course, is going to be tasked to guard MJ Raimundo.
00:10Coming off a career performance, MJ, as previously mentioned, Guillaume,
00:16misfires on the opening play.
00:18Alright, coach, what do you expect from our first quarter?
00:22As I said, this team will focus on defense.
00:26The way they scouted, as we saw, MVP guarding their best player in their last game, Raimundo.
00:34He's not afraid, he's just tired.
00:36The only thing he knows he can do is to play defense.
00:40That's right. So expect Raimundo today to be a marked man.
00:43NCAA and Collegiate Basketball, they watch the tapes, so they study your tendencies on the court.
00:51Next game, you have a target in the back.
00:54Yes, coach. You have to be ready.
00:56Make your tools so you can score.
01:00Of course, if they see your pull-up jumpers, your three points,
01:04they will block that in the next game.
01:07That's right.
01:08Edina, two out of two on the free throws.
01:11For Papua, getting a start today is Yang Concepcion after a solid game against San Sebastian.
01:17Here's Concepcion, six points and three rebounds in 19 minutes of action.
01:23J.R. Euron gave a good pressure defense.
01:25He committed a turnover to Papua.
01:28Sidney Mosqueda has been a staple of the starting five for Coach Louie.
01:33He's one of his favorites.
01:35Heavy bombers are a little bit banged up going into this one.
01:39Later, he will pass it to Aaron Tee.
01:42Meantime, Mosqueda has the basketball.
01:45Ooh, nice communication with Raimundo there.
01:49Yes, they're doubling the pick and rolls.
01:51Aaron's goal was good.
01:53The point guard wasn't aware.
01:54He threw the ball outside.
01:56And Papua starting off with active bodies on defense, Coach.
02:01Really disrupting the flow of J.R. Euron's offense.
02:04Hubilia got inside.
02:06And that counts.
02:08Plus the foul for Chris Hubilia.
02:10This kid is different.
02:12His body is so strong.
02:13There's no play.
02:15Actually, he wasn't given pressure because they know Chris Hubilia will attack.
02:19Chris Hubilia, his first year here in the college scene of the Red Cubs program.
02:25Look at this.
02:26His body is strong.
02:28Able to finish through his upper body strength that time.
02:32All right, let's use this opportunity to go courtside for the first time.
02:35Aaron Tee is here.
02:37Aaron, go ahead.
02:38Effort creates action.
02:40Action creates momentum.
02:41And momentum creates success.
02:44J.R.U. Heavy Bombers and the Papua Cardinals as they fight to maintain their momentum after their fresh win.
02:50As for the J.R.U. Heavy Bombers, Coach Louie Gonzales said that right from the get-go,
02:54the team was able to deliver and make the right decisions.
02:56But they are still young and have to toughen up.
02:58As for the Papua Cardinals, having a 49.2 field goal percentage, they were able to dominate their last game.
03:04Coach Randy is happy with their performance.
03:07But they still need to triple their energy, maintain their effort, and be consistent in their defense.
03:13Martin and Ralph Mapua's J.C. Recto is still recovering from wounds.
03:17And J.R.U.'s Medina and Lozano are still nursing on the brink.
03:21Despite these losses, we cannot deny that this is a battle of momentum.
03:24So let's see how this turns out.
03:26Come back, Martin and Ralph.
03:28Thank you, Erin.
03:29Key losses for both teams.
03:30J.C. Recto is not going to be able to play here.
03:33That's why Yam Concepcion started here for the Papua Cardinals.
03:37Actually, three players were sprayed by Coach Louie Gonzales in the previous game against Arellano.
03:44They have Ivan Panapanaan, Justin Lozano, Nalina shoots the three there, and Medina.
03:52So Medina and Lozano will not be able to play.
03:55Martin and Ralph Mapua are aiming for perfection.
03:58And speaking of perfection, Clint Escamiz is nailing the three-pointer.
04:03You cannot give space to Clint Escamiz.
04:05Once he puts down the ball, you need to be able to attack Clint.
04:10Imagine the instructions of Coach Ralty.
04:14After a big win against San Sebastian, he said, we still need to improve.
04:19That's a mark of a good team.
04:22I consider this a shaky start for them, 4-2 in the season.
04:26They still have a lot of money.
04:28Knowing Coach Ralty, I actually played Coach Ralty.
04:31He's really defense-oriented, hard worker.
04:34With Coach Nani and Coach Leon Garcia.
04:37You know, these players will work hard.
04:39You can see that they are reflecting on their players and their team.
04:43Oh, pickpocket.
04:45Raimundo completes it.
04:47And Benitez will score on the break.
04:51JR Eron puts a lot of pressure.
04:54Clint can't relax.
04:56For sure, JR Eron is ready.
04:59How about a MJ Raimundo?
05:02Clint Escamiz pickpockets.
05:04And here comes Lorenz Mapua.
05:09Spin cycle, basket and the foul.
05:12It doesn't look like a rookie.
05:14But Coach, look at MJ Raimundo.
05:16It's rare for him to do that to Clint.
05:19The good thing about this is that we have two top scorers.
05:24So they're both tired.
05:26We'll see how the basket will evolve.
05:29In the old school, if you're a scorer, you're just a scorer.
05:33Unlike now, if you're an offensive player, you can also play defensively.
05:37So your coach's game plan was to preserve you.
05:41Yes, that's right.
05:42In defense, you rest. In offense, you work.
05:45Now we have two-way players.
05:47Two-way stars.
05:50Guillaume attacks.
05:54Mapua's 2-2-1 press attacked immediately.
05:58Joshua Guillaume didn't set up.
06:02Look at this.
06:05Yeah, that's a beautiful drawing.
06:09Number one Mapua supporter.
06:11And number one supporter of Clint Escamiz.
06:17Joshua Guillaume at the free-throw line.
06:21Guillaume played well last time.
06:24The baskets they needed to get the win.
06:28Actually, he got it.
06:30He was just waiting.
06:33Actually, we chose him as the best player of the game.
06:36Because he had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists.
06:40But he got 15 out of his 18 points in the 4th quarter.
06:46He was 9 out of 9 from the free-throw line in that 4th period.
06:50That's one of the best things JRU does.
06:53Going to the free-throw line.
06:55And very high percentage, actually.
06:58Doing a great job in keeping up with Mapua here.
07:01Chris Sobelia with another hoop.
07:05Chris Sobelia is moving very slowly.
07:09He can't handle the physicality here.
07:11Especially against the heavy bombers here.
07:13Guillaume sends it out.
07:16Spray to Argente.
07:18That one rims out.
07:20Good look though for Sean.
07:22A born shooter.
07:24Sean Argente.
07:25Actually, we also became a part of the commercial team.
07:29How is he, coach?
07:31The best thing about Sean is that he's ready to shoot.
07:34If you let him go, he doesn't need to warm up anymore.
07:38Alright, Chris Sobelia with the basket.
07:40Let's go first to this timeout.
07:42Argente, Mapua Cardinals.
07:58Medina for the freestyle.
08:01I thought it was a short.
08:02No, it's a follow-through.
08:04Medina.
08:05It's a big zone.
08:061-3-1 here for San Sebastian.
08:08Trying to get into their zone of offense.
08:10JRU wants to get that shooter loading on the corner.
08:14Wow.
08:15Raybundo staring down Risho.
08:19And a chance to complete the three-point play.
08:27This is what you were saying earlier.
08:29There's no flicking of the wrist on that shot by Medina.
08:35Medina.
08:39Fifteen points in total.
08:42Down the lane.
08:43Joshua Diaz.
08:45Biggest leap on their streets.
08:49This is the Mancon representative of Los Arizones University.
08:52Sir Paul Subban.
08:54Last season's Mancon chair as well.
08:59In here very early on a Sunday.
09:02Inside.
09:03Back to the action.
09:04JRaybundo bothered from behind.
09:07But he gets the rebound.
09:10You know he's the one who's focused here in Mapua.
09:14Nice read by Lorenz Mangubad.
09:16And he scores on the break.
09:19So Mangubad now with five points.
09:21And that's end-to-end action for the Mapua Cardinals.
09:27Benitez with a quick turn.
09:29Benitez.
09:30It's a shame they didn't complete.
09:32It came out.
09:34And the Cardinals.
09:36They look to create a bigger lead.
09:38Damn Concepcion underneath.
09:42And pay-on for Concepcion.
09:46If you're an MVP, it's not just scoring.
09:49And how about this rookie Lorenz Mangubad.
09:51With a perfect read.
09:52Escamiz with a vision.
09:55And Igleani.
09:56That's big-to-big action for Mapua.
10:01Here it is.
10:03Talk about physicality.
10:04Coach Louie got in here.
10:06This is Vince Armiento.
10:07Panapanan is also in the game for JRU.
10:11Alongside Mark Barrera.
10:14Coach, JRU needs to be careful here.
10:16Because Mapua is slowly gaining their lead.
10:22You know the discipline of Mapua that they're doing.
10:25They're still focused on who will win the last game.
10:28Argente is just getting ready.
10:30Argente here hasn't had an open look.
10:34Mangubad is following him.
10:36Yes, wherever Argente goes, Mangubad follows him.
10:41Here's Armiento.
10:42Cross-court.
10:43Barrera is free.
10:45In and out.
10:46Panapanan on the offensive board.
10:47And he leads it up.
10:49That was a good putback.
10:50But we can see that the scorers of JRU have no touches.
10:55We will accept that we were beaten by other players.
11:00Not just the main guys.
11:02That's what Mapua said.
11:03Chris Ovilia, again, just annihilating this JRU defense.
11:08Ovilia is really ready.
11:10Actually, Chris Ovilia became our player in the Red Cubs.
11:13That's why I saw him.
11:15He's really inborn.
11:18This is Ovilia's average.
11:20That's one season.
11:2220 points and 12 rebounds.
11:24With Pablo and Gagate, they're really kicking the air.
11:27That's what he's really good at.
11:30And here he is, taking it away.
11:33Clint says, let's wait and slow it down.
11:36He goes to the hot hand here in Chris Ovilia.
11:39Ovilia, another and one for Ovilia.
11:43He has nine points.
11:45We can see that Ovilia has an advantage here.
11:47They're isolating on top.
11:49You can see that Ovilia is helping.
11:51Ovilia really finished him off.
11:53This is Ivan Panapanan's follow-up.
11:55Also coming from NCAA Juniors with the Braves.
11:59But Chris Ovilia this time taking him off the dribble that time.
12:03And this time on a cross and a downhill drive.
12:08He has improved on his finishing, Coach.
12:11Because in the first few games of Chris in college,
12:15he had a bit of an advantage with his shots under the basket.
12:20He was playing with it.
12:22And maybe his giggles were there.
12:24Here he is adjusting.
12:2622-11 for Mapua.
12:28This is their biggest so far.
12:30Argente.
12:32That one was contested, Coach.
12:34Yes.
12:35Argente got some touches.
12:37But we can see that tough shot.
12:39Actually, Mangubat is still there in front of him.
12:41Here's Cyrus Cuenco coming off a 26 point performance.
12:44In the game now.
12:46He stops on a dime.
12:47Turns and makes it look simple.
12:49Let's see what Mapua can do now.
12:52Let's see if they have an advantage.
12:54They're just going to go.
12:55They're not going to isolate now.
12:57This is the first double-digit lead for Mapua.
13:00And they're doing it in the first quarter.
13:03That's why you need to be careful here.
13:06And you can't get heavy against Mapua.
13:08Because they're this fast.
13:10Their lead is getting bigger.
13:12They're going to identify the mismatches.
13:14That's how fast they are.
13:16That's right.
13:17Reading the defense.
13:18Cuenco scoring there.
13:20Sangiento.
13:21No.
13:22Rebound.
13:23Goes to Jovilia.
13:25Jovilia has a lot of rebounds there.
13:28Cuenco.
13:30Cuenco will wait.
13:31Oh.
13:32Kick ball.
13:33Last touch on Panapanan.
13:36Will take a ceasefire.
13:39Mapua doubling up on J.R.U.
13:47To shoot.
13:48Gives it to Montano.
13:49To the corner.
13:50Guadagna.
13:51Fourth to shoot.
13:52Guadagna.
13:53Fires a jumper.
13:54It's good.
13:57Guadagna.
14:00Arellano will try once again.
14:02Five seconds.
14:03Basti Valencia from the three.
14:05No good.
14:07And now P.U.
14:09Pirates.
14:10Survives another goals game.
14:13In this NCAA Season 100.
14:16Winning this game.
14:17Against Arellano University.
14:1990-86.
14:22To shoot.
14:23Gives it to Montano.
14:24To the corner.
14:25Guadagna.
14:26Fourth to shoot.
14:27Guadagna.
14:28Fires a jumper.
14:29It's good.
14:30On your screens.
14:32Here's the Mancom representative of Mapua.
14:35Sir Melchor Divina.
14:38It's not obvious.
14:40But Sir Melchor is happy.
14:42Because they're ahead here.
14:4322-11.
14:44Coach, what can you say about the performance?
14:46Tech first.
14:47Here's the Mancom representative of EAC.
14:50Dr. Lorenzo.
14:51Lorenzo with his son.
14:53It's a family day after all.
14:54Here inside Villoy.
14:56Coach, what a start here for the Mapua Cardinals.
15:00They just go to the mismatches.
15:02Argente.
15:03Villa.
15:04We just go there.
15:05You don't need to call the play.
15:07It's that simple.
15:09You have to applaud.
15:11The quick identification and reading of Mapua.
15:15Their points are that smart actually.
15:18Especially the coaches there.
15:20Do you know Tony Boy Espinosa?
15:22His legendary coaches are there too.
15:26He told me that...
15:29He just told me that when you're in Mapua practice...
15:33You know, of course with Coach Young and with Coach Randy at the helm.
15:37It's really quiet.
15:40The players are all focused.
15:42All business.
15:43When they're in practice.
15:44The respect you give to the coaches.
15:46You know, they're champion coaches.
15:48Yeah.
15:50So, if you're going to try out there, you should be ready.
15:54Correct.
15:5523 to 11.
15:572 and 49 to go here in the first.
15:59Patrick Ramos is now in the game.
16:01Being closely covered by Panay.
16:05Ramos.
16:06Bounce pass.
16:07Panapanaan.
16:09Yes!
16:10And the foul for the rookie, Ivan Panapanaan.
16:14It's a good thing they did a Parana.
16:15Actually, Mapua's defense is really tight.
16:17That's why sometimes you don't give it.
16:19If you're too close.
16:21You have an open space that you can give to the opponent.
16:24Yeah.
16:25Nice bounce pass.
16:26And this is something he can do.
16:29Of course, we saw the potential.
16:31We saw the adjustment there.
16:33After the bump in midair for Ivan Panapanaan.
16:36This is a game for the Arellano Braves.
16:41Let's show this first.
16:43One player who is not in the game right now for the JRU.
16:48Okay, later.
16:49Let's focus on that.
16:50This is Ivan Panapanaan when he was playing with the Arellano Braves.
16:56This is Jonathan Medina, by the way.
16:58Again, nursing a sprained ankle.
17:01Unable to suit up against Mapua.
17:03That's a huge loss for JRU.
17:05Being one of their main scorers and gunners.
17:08Panapanaan, we saw the physical tools of the Arellano Braves.
17:12Here, slowly but surely, the game is translating.
17:16Correct.
17:17You can see the length of Panapanaan.
17:19Players like him will really invest.
17:22A very talented player.
17:24His timing on defense is also good.
17:26Oh, Cuenco.
17:28Another strong move for Cyrus Cuenco.
17:32Maybe they need to change the match-up.
17:35You know, if you're going to do a defense,
17:37it's better to do a one-on-one defense.
17:40Actually, the coaches will give you the challenge.
17:43One-on-one defense.
17:44Because you still have a lot to defend.
17:46After Cuenco, there are shooters like Bigman who are going to pass.
17:50You need to be ready to defend individually.
17:53That's the luxury Coach Randy has on this team.
17:56He has Cuenco, Escamez, who can create for themselves.
17:59Even Hubilla and Manguban.
18:01But those coaches can also play off the ball.
18:06Correct.
18:07Cuenco became the highest pointer last game.
18:11He was just waiting for the good shots.
18:14He didn't force it.
18:16Nothing forced.
18:18Argente misfiring there.
18:2026-14.
18:22Earlier, JRU was able to score a 3.3-pointer for Cuenco.
18:28Back to 12.
18:29This is the biggest so far.
18:35For Mapua.
18:37Tagging the biggest lead.
18:39Argente with the scoop.
18:41Misses.
18:42He got it back.
18:43Barrera.
18:44Argente from the corner.
18:46Conex.
18:47That's what's scary when Argente starts getting hot.
18:51He's a strict shooter.
18:53Yes.
18:54Argente was able to take a deep breath.
18:57He missed after missing his first few attempts.
19:02Cyrus Cuenco will handle it.
19:04He's being given the freedom to set up the table for Mapua.
19:08Concepcion on the hop.
19:10Oh.
19:11Ending up with Bangkane.
19:13But his baseline shot was strong.
19:16He didn't get the rebound.
19:19It's still a one-on-one defense.
19:22They're still attacking one-on-one.
19:25This is the basket earlier by Sean Argente.
19:30Could be a start for him in this game.
19:34Cuenco pounders right back with a three of his own.
19:38You can't give Cuenco that distance.
19:43He's getting hit.
19:44Actually, in the last game, he almost got a logo shot.
19:46That's right.
19:47Cuenco has arguably the nicest shooting form in our league.
19:52Very basic.
19:53Arch de Leon misses from short range.
19:58Cyrus Cuenco is feeling it here in the first frame.
20:01He has eight points.
20:06Cuenco using the jabonete.
20:09Screen jabonete.
20:13Tap.
20:14Ending up with Bangkane.
20:16Scoop will not work.
20:17Argente gets it.
20:18Argente.
20:20Ramos.
20:21Ramos.
20:22No.
20:24Arch de Leon.
20:25He missed.
20:26But we still have Tito.
20:27Coach Ralph.
20:28Actually, they did a good job in the last defense of JRE.
20:31When Cuenco used that, the ball screen.
20:34This is the second one.
20:36They're doubling up on Cuenco.
20:39They're giving him the...
20:40Okay.
20:41Let him breathe.
20:42Cuenco should stop.
20:43So that Cuenco will let go of the ball.
20:45Their problem is that Skamis is going to score.
20:48Coach Ranio said it's a one-on-one.
20:50Okay.
20:51You're doubling up.
20:53Deal with Clint now.
20:55Clint, Cuenco, and Bangkane.
21:00This is a quick line-up on the floor for Mabua.
21:04So, just basing it off the line-up,
21:08Cuenco will play the four.
21:11Jabonete will be the center.
21:16Jerico and Bangkane.
21:19Four-guard line-up deployed by Coach Randy
21:22in the final 24 seconds of the first.
21:26And Deleon misses the first free throw.
21:30And this is March Deleon at the free throw line.
21:35One of the veteran picks, Coach Luis Gonzalez.
21:37One out of two right there.
21:40So, Mabua can actually go for the last shot here of the first.
21:45Ball in the hands of Clint Eskamis.
21:47Guarded by the taller and longer Ivan Panapanaan.
21:52Clint did his carting.
21:54Eskamis.
21:55What will he do?
21:57Eskamis drives.
