00:00They can play small. This is their small lineup with Justin Sanchez and Antonio Cebio interchangeable at the wing.
00:09Two scrappy guards pressuring and Josh Kahuku who is 6'1 and Gabby Cometa who is really a 2 guard playing that point guard spot.
00:17So they have size, they have versatility.
00:20That's why, I don't know if this was said last year, that they are the deepest team coming into season 100.
00:27Cleanse of the mess underneath.
00:29But yeah, this is, even the small lineup of Benilda, long, athletic and very versatile as well.
00:37And whoever they use, we saw against WTS opponent LPU, Roger Ondua and Morales stepped up big time and was given minutes.
00:48That's the beauty of it, when you have a sustainable program that you develop your players from 1 to 18.
00:54Because everyone can give a chance at any moment depending on the matchups.
01:24And that is the expectation today.
01:26And do you expect it then from Allen Liwag as we see this tough jumper contested one for Escobedo.
01:33But Paroga is underneath cleaning that up.
01:38Again, unselfishness for the Blazers.
01:40Kahukum finding an open Liwag underneath Eusebio.
01:45That's a big thing.
01:46Because Allen Liwag, we're used to him, when he's underneath, it's really hard for him to get a goal.
01:52Now, when he's there, he's given to him.
01:55That's why when he doubles, he knows how to swing because he knows he can go back to him.
01:59That's right.
02:00Raymundo Escobedo scores underneath.
02:03So San Sebastian is off to a slightly better start here than the Blazers.
02:08They've been crowding the big men of Benilda.
02:10But here's Liwag.
02:11He scores on the reverse.
02:13This guy is pro-ready.
02:14This guy is pro-ready.
02:18He has two more years.
02:19Or one more year.
02:21Well, if he chooses to, he has those years.
02:27And how about this outlet?
02:29Gabby Gometa, touchdown off the glass.
02:32Benilda retaliates quickly.
02:36Now, let's go courtside for our first quarter report.
02:38Let's go to Aliyah Fideliaga.
02:41Aliyah.
02:42Each of them will give their best.
02:44And Lord will also give us the victory.
02:47That's what the team captain is saying.
02:49TJ Filibrigo to lift up his team spirit amidst the consecutive losses.
02:54Moreover, he wants to be remembered as a fighter who does not give up in the face of adversity.
03:00That's why they will continue to fight.
03:02Meanwhile, Jomel Ancheta, who is back after a one-game suspension,
03:06said that he learned to look at the bigger picture and emerged from the experience as a more mature individual.
03:12That's all from courtside.
03:13Back to you, Martin and Coach Hammer.
03:15Thanks, Aliyah.
03:16Well, we know TJ.
03:17This is a fighter.
03:19He's been an undersized pig pretty much his entire career in the NCAA.
03:23And now, he has a new role as a captain for San Sebastian.
03:27Here's Gabby Gometa, though.
03:29Bounce pass underneath Sanchez, who had a sorry miss earlier.
03:33Will step to the line to take two shots.
03:36Here's the save.
03:39Escobedo.
03:41Sanchez attacks the defense.
03:45And here's the feet of Gabby Gometa to Allen Liwag underneath.
03:49What do you think of the returning Jomel Ancheta here, Coach?
03:54I said this in the first game that I covered.
03:58The barometer will be Ancheta and Torres.
04:01Because in this team, we can see that he's a complete materialist.
04:05You have the best big man in the NCAA, Allen Liwag.
04:08The best post-operator in the NCAA, Allen Liwag, hands down.
04:13You have very versatile players around.
04:16You know, Sanchez had two best players of the games this season.
04:20Multiple position defender.
04:22Complete.
04:23But if your guards can handle pressure the way that Ancheta did in pressure games this season,
04:29it's hard to beat this team.
04:31That's right.
04:32Escobedo inspires.
04:34A couple of games ago, he learned a valuable lesson of keeping his cool, especially in big games.
04:42That's a travel for Justin Sanchez.
04:45And if you have two leaguers.
04:49I watched their offseason.
04:51If Ancheta plays steady, and Torres plays like a pitbull that he really is,
04:57and Torres is still young.
04:58It's hard to beat this team because they have very good role players.
05:02High-end O.B. players.
05:03Mahukong.
05:04Gometas.
05:08Medina for the first time.
05:11I thought it was a short.
05:12It wasn't a direct follow through.
05:14Medina.
05:15This is a big zone.
05:16San Sebastian got a 1-3-1.
05:18Trying to get into their zone of offense.
05:20J.R.U. wants to get that shooter loading on the corner.
05:24Wow.
05:25Rebundo staring down.
05:27It is a 9-8 start.
05:31Still in favor of the Blazers.
05:33How about the quarterback pass by Liwag to Gometa on the touchdown.
05:39Raymar Escobedo carrying San Sebastian so far here in the first frame.
05:45It's been a great battle between these two teams.
05:49Separated by just a point, Coach Hammer.
05:52The question for San Sebastian is how they will sustain this attack.
05:56Because we know that when the game starts,
05:59and when the fourth quarter gets in,
06:02they would throw a flurry of attacks.
06:05Talking about San Sebastian.
06:07The middle.
06:08The sustainable.
06:09The middle rounds.
06:10That's right.
06:11That's where they would throw flurry of attacks.
06:15That's the opponent.
06:16You saw earlier, Jomel Anceta.
06:19Oh, Antonio Eusebio gets the pump and the basket.
06:24Continuation coming up.
06:26And you haven't even seen Antonio Eusebio get his groove going here in the NCAA.
06:32Again, number one.
06:34Jomel Puno has the same thing.
06:37The number one adjustment is the physicality.
06:39Because it's a little bit more physical when it comes to the NCAA
06:43and a little bit of smaller guards.
06:45So if you lower it a little bit, they would put at the ball,
06:48like what happened earlier.
06:49They would swipe and cross your body.
06:51Most of the time, you can't call.
06:52So you've got to be tough with that ball.
06:54That's one of Jomel's adjustments to start it off.
07:00James Burgote.
07:01Yeah, Burgote.
07:02Filipino native players.
07:03But Antonio Eusebio has an advantage here.
07:05He got two.
07:07And again, Benilde is getting scarier now that he's learning the ropes here in the NCAA.
07:15I saw this kid.
07:16I played against him.
07:17Remember when we covered the MTBL?
07:19Oh, yeah.
07:20We went to Canada for an exhibition season against a former NCAA MVP,
07:24Kelvin de la Pena.
07:25And that was the Christmas week before he went here to start his collegiate career.
07:31This was before pre-pandemic.
07:33Pre-pandemic.
07:34I think that was 2018, 2019 maybe.
07:36Yeah.
07:37So this guy was really highly sought after recruit.
07:41We can see that he has an adjustment period.
07:44This is Antonio.
07:46He's three years into his collegiate career.
07:49He looks like a pro player.
07:53Oh, Baroga is left open.
07:56You got to take advantage of those, Senior Baroga.
08:00Oh, drop off.
08:02Highlight.
08:03Here's Eusebio.
08:05Oh, Anton throws it down.
08:09An emphatic one-hand dunk.
08:12And off the turnover.
08:13You know it's a highlight.
08:15That's his game.
08:17He likes playing up-tempo, up and down, more possessions.
08:22He didn't want to get his first, but now he's finding consistency on those jams.
08:29Oh, lefty.
08:31Kilikili shot by Escobedo.
08:34This guy knows how to play.
08:35Yeah.
08:36This Escobedo, he really knows how to find angles.
08:39He's fearless when he plays.
08:43Paeng Areg is out of control, Coach Hammer.
08:47Tony Inot, Mark Sanko coming in.
08:49How about this?
08:51Anton Eusebio taking off for this slam.
09:00And here's Raymarc Escobedo.
09:03Driving right, scooping left that time.
09:06His number fits, like Jamal Crawford.
09:08Those unorthodox moves.
09:13Because usually when you do that, you go to the right.
09:16It's hard for you to switch to the left stretch.
09:19And that's the skill set of San Sebastian.
09:22They're very good one-on-one players.
09:24Very good one-on-one.
09:26They would break you down.
09:27They would attack you one-on-one.
09:33Ooh!
09:35That's what they're contesting.
09:36It was Gabby Cometa.
09:37Last touch.
09:39Kahuko followed.
09:41It hit Are.
09:45Now San Sebastian will get it back.
09:49So it was off-Gab Cometa.
09:52What a deep rotation.
09:53Torres, Sanko, Inot.
09:57What a heavy rotation.
09:58Second unit.
09:59I would still believe this.
10:02Tony Inot is really one of the top two-way players.
10:08Like he never left.
10:12He was built as a two-way player with the Red Cubs.
10:16He was a defensive guy that took care of Ato Barbao.
10:23But they won, by the way.
10:25Sanchez is on the move.
10:26Inot.
10:27Liwag puts it down!
10:31A good transition.
10:32Let's go!
10:33Rim running by Allen Liwag.
10:35Right at the middle of that defense.
10:38Are forcing it to no avail.
10:40Escobedo.
10:42Hero of the first frame so far.
10:44And he continues to be that guy for San Sebastian.
10:48Putting it up and in.
10:49Plus the foul.
10:50How about this transition?
10:54Slamma.
10:57Jamma by Liwag.
10:58Recognizing Allen Liwag in transition.
11:02That's what you want to do.
11:03You got to reward your big guys.
11:06Guards would often forget that it's hard to run rim-to-rim.
11:11You're playing defense.
11:12You're calling barking out.
11:13And when you get rewarded like that,
11:14you'll run more up and down.
11:18But here's the guy who's always up and down.
11:21Remart Escobedo.
11:23Eleven of the thirteen San Sebastian points
11:27came from Remart.
11:29Torres.
11:30Step with space.
11:32And he knocks it down.
11:34Nothing out of the ordinary.
11:37Simple player screen.
11:38And players knowing where they should be.
11:41And passes getting there.
11:43At their shooting spots.
11:46Very basic.
11:47It's hard to watch.
11:49Paroga.
11:50He's still quiet.
11:51He's being watched by Enot.
11:53He's been checked in the past few games.
11:55But he blows by Enot.
11:57And he gets the floater to go in.
11:59First attack.
12:00Nothing.
12:01He's going to measure the defense again.
12:04He's so lucky.
12:05Tony just goes straight for the floater.
12:07Challenging Allen Liwag.
12:09We don't say that a lot.
12:10That Tony passed it to Enot.
12:13Enot.
12:14Enot knocks it down.
12:17Almost from the same spot.
12:19As with Ian Torres earlier.
12:21Danilo goes back in front by six.
12:23Let's go to this break.
12:27Tumantano gives it to the corner.
12:29Guadagna.
12:30Fourth to shoot.
12:31Guadagna.
12:32Fires a jumper.
12:33Let's go!
12:36Maklag Guadagna.
12:39Arellano will try once again.
12:41Five seconds.
12:42Basti Valencia from the tree.
12:44No good.
12:46And now PU Pirates
12:49survives another close game
12:52in this NCAA.
13:00All right.
13:01Let us acknowledge
13:02or in a bit we'll acknowledge
13:04the presence of our ManCom reps.
13:06But a couple of three-pointers right here.
13:08You're right in system, Ian Torres.
13:10But what happened was
13:12Binild didn't do anything out of character.
13:14You seldomly see them go one-on-one.
13:17You seldomly see them take bad shots
13:19the past few games.
13:20In their past, what?
13:21Two wins?
13:22Two wins?
13:23Is that right?
13:24Two wins for Binild.
13:26They just lost by a few bad shots.
13:28Father Virgilio Paredes Jr.,
13:31OAR ManCom representative
13:33of the San Sebastian Stags.
13:35There you go.
13:36San Sebastian College, Recoletos.
13:39And Sir Dax Castellano,
13:41ManCom rep of
13:43Castle College of St. Binild.
13:49Meantime,
13:50let's go back to the action.
13:51Binild,
13:52currently with their biggest lead
13:54in the first quarter,
13:5521 to 15.
13:59Pahing.
14:00Pahing.
14:01Pahing.
14:02Pahing.
14:04Inot Liwag.
14:06Yes!
14:07And a foul for Allen Liwag.
14:13So basic,
14:14rim running,
14:15Allen Liwag being strong on the catch.
14:18And he knows it.
14:19You know,
14:20Allen Liwag,
14:21when he's at the bottom,
14:22and he's not called out,
14:24you would see it.
14:26He reacts.
14:27Now, even if it's a hamper,
14:29even if it's a car,
14:30even if it's three people
14:32and it's crowded,
14:33he just plays the game.
14:34And this is what you want to see
14:36as players progress.
14:37When they catch the ball,
14:39they know.
14:40Allen Liwag is 6'7".
14:43240.
14:44On estimate,
14:45Allen Liwag is 240.
14:47He gets hit,
14:48and you never see him react.
14:51Or become emotional.
14:52Yes.
14:53Because in their first game,
14:54opening day,
14:55that's when he reacts.
14:57But consistently,
14:59throughout the past few games,
15:00that's why his numbers are there.
15:01Yes.
15:02Because you know,
15:03it's going to happen.
15:04If you get hit,
15:05as we see Kelepre go
15:06getting downhill,
15:07you would get hit.
15:08And most of the time,
15:09referees won't call it.
15:10Yes.
15:11So you just need to keep on playing.
15:13And you can see him
15:14going one-on-one here.
15:15His one-on-one line
15:16is the same as the seal
15:17on that block
15:18on the right side.
15:19But Allen Liwag would move
15:20without the ball.
15:21And you've got to give credit
15:22to their offense.
15:23Yes.
15:24The ball falls on him.
15:25Correct.
15:26He's really full.
15:27He just rim-runs.
15:28Knocked down.
15:29Blocked layup.
15:30Yes.
15:31He's not looking
15:32to create his own shot,
15:33but he still manages
15:34to be the focal point
15:35of the offense.
15:36Yes.
15:37And it's a tip of the hat
15:38to Coach Charles
15:39because the players
15:40are disciplined.
15:41Yes.
15:42They're disciplined
15:43that they know that,
15:44okay,
15:45we have a beast inside.
15:46This guy,
15:47this guy,
15:486'7",
15:49nobody can defend him.
15:50We've got to feed the beast.
15:51Until somebody shows up
15:52with the Hulkbuster uniform
15:53and stops the Hulk,
15:54you've got to go
15:55and feed it.
15:56Yes.
15:57Right?
15:58That's right.
15:59It's so simple.
16:00And they go around it.
16:01And they have personalities.
16:02We've said that
16:03the personalities
16:04are hard to contain,
16:05but once you buy
16:06into the system
16:07and you believe
16:08what you're doing,
16:09it's a big deal.
16:10Yes.
16:11Correct.
16:12Sanko
16:13couldn't handle
16:14the rebound.
16:15San Sebastian
16:16off and running.
16:17Escobedo,
16:18wow!
16:19Adjusting
16:20on the break.
16:21And speaking of
16:22the team's personality,
16:23this is the personality
16:24of San Sebastian.
16:25They would attack
16:26the whole time
16:27and they won't care.
16:28You make a basket,
16:29we will attack you.
16:30You make a three on us,
16:31we will attack you.
16:32Short term memory
16:33like Dory.
16:34Yeah.
16:35Like a goldfish.
16:36Dory is not a goldfish,
16:37but let's look at
16:38Raymard Escobedo's movement.
16:39It's hard.
16:4013 points already
16:41for Escobedo
16:42here in the first quarter.
16:43Making up for his struggles
16:44in the past few games.
16:45But somebody needs
16:46to help out
16:47with San Sebastian.
16:48Tony Enot
16:49right now
16:50at the free-flow line.
16:51More importantly,
16:52San Sebastian
16:53has to help out
16:54with San Sebastian.
16:55Tony Enot
16:56right now
16:57at the free-flow line.
16:58More importantly,
16:59Coach Hammer.
17:00I know it's easier
17:01said than done,
17:02but they gotta get it
17:03done defensively
17:04if they wanna
17:05hang with Benilde
17:06here in the first half.
17:07Your opponent here
17:08when it comes to
17:09the types of
17:10say Benilde,
17:11or any other
17:12team that is
17:13disciplined in offense,
17:14Mapua.
17:15Mapua, yeah.
17:16They're a bit
17:17disciplined.
17:18Eletran,
17:19for one,
17:20San Beda,
17:21those are the teams
17:22that execute.
17:23You have to be
17:24really patient
17:25and you have to
17:26make sure that
17:27they don't fall over,
17:28they take bad shots,
17:29and they foul.
17:30That's just three things.
17:31So what's your control
17:32there?
17:33You have to make
17:34them take bad shots.
17:35So you have to be
17:36able to sustain
17:37your defensive
17:38packages.
17:39Especially
17:40teams like this
17:41that are so
17:42disciplined.
17:43They know where
17:44the ball is going
17:45to land.
17:46That's right.
17:47Oof.
17:48This is Suico.
17:49This is Torres.
17:50Turco.
17:51Torres all day
17:52and he makes them
17:53pay.
17:54No basket
17:55for Benilde.
17:56Clear instructions
17:57of Coach Charles.
17:58We push the tempo.
17:59Smaller game.
18:00Kahit sinong big natin.
18:01Patuhan nyo ng patuhan
18:02ng bola sa loob.
18:03Responsibility naman
18:04ng pigment.
18:05Saluhin nyo yan.
18:06Kasi ganoon na
18:07mangyayari.
18:08Bagsa scramble.
18:09This is not Alili.
18:10Wag pa Turco
18:11had a good read
18:12kicking it out
18:13to a free three.
18:14Inod.
18:15Oh!
18:16Makes a contested
18:17three.
18:18So it's raining
18:19baskets from the
18:20outside
18:21for Benilde.
18:22How about the
18:23three-point shooting
18:24of the Blazers?
18:25Four out of five
18:26so far.
18:27Establishing your
18:28inside game.
18:29First,
18:30feeding the beasts.
18:31Feeding the attackers
18:32in Eusebio
18:33and Sanchez.
18:34Getting in the line
18:35early.
18:36And then now
