00:00Thank you for joining us on Heart of Asia.
00:02Anton Rojas working alongside Coach Hammer, Martin Antonio.
00:06And of course, at courtside, we've got Kayla Afable
00:08with all the updates from both Pampua and Arellano.
00:18Okotan.
00:24Oh, what a waste.
00:26He's already there.
00:27His movement is good, his grip is good.
00:30Now, let's see if Flit Escamiz will become more assertive here.
00:34He is 0 for 8 from the field.
00:39Borromeo has been all up in his business.
00:43Firmin.
00:44Okay, there you go.
00:47First post-up opportunity and Firmin delivers.
00:50That's the game, Firmin.
00:51Back to the basket.
00:53One dribble, get the rhythm, jump hook.
00:56Kapulong working hard.
00:59And that's a foul on Firmin.
01:00I think Firmin was too excited in the last offensive sequence.
01:05Back to the basket.
01:06This is his game.
01:07Two dribbles, get this rhythm.
01:10Jump hook.
01:11Ever since high school.
01:14It's like JM was surprised that someone backed him down.
01:18And he's not afraid.
01:20And a steal here by Escamiz.
01:23Vinoya, who's going to be the next one to score?
01:26Vinoya fouls him.
01:47Let's get an update first at courtside with Kayla Pablo.
01:51Throughout this season, the Arellano Chiefs have proven
01:54that the standings do not and should not determine the odds of a win.
01:58With everything they've been through in this first round,
02:01Coach Chico Manabat emphasizes to his team that they know how to win now.
02:06He says that they know how to work hard until the end
02:09and they've experienced the feeling of victory.
02:12Team Ak-Ongotan also told me what the coaches always remind them of,
02:16that they are superstars and they know their roles better than anyone else.
02:21Going into the final minutes of the game,
02:23they are going to have to go back to basics
02:25because at this point, it's all a mental game.
02:28Will it be another win for the Chiefs?
02:30Let's watch and see what happens.
02:31But for now, back to you, Anton and Coach Henry.
02:34I like the way you put it.
02:36All a mental game, especially with how tight things have become here.
02:42Arellano faithful, not happy with that last call.
02:53Fifty-four all. What a game. Seventh deadlock.
03:00Bernal.
03:09Borromeo.
03:14Bail out call right there and a good attack by Borromeo.
03:18He got a foul there and a reset on the shot clock.
03:21Their shot clock is only two seconds, what a waste.
03:35Anthony Borromeo.
03:37What a defensive effort for the kid.
03:40Great job, A-plus for Borromeo.
03:44Turnover. Escamiz to Mangubat.
03:59Escamiz to Mangubat. Mangubat on the pull-up.
04:03That was just a turnover.
04:09Escamiz to Mangubat. Mangubat on the pull-up.
04:22Monta teaching Abiera how to box out.
04:26With a live demonstration.
04:29Fourteen seconds to shoot.
04:37Concepcion driving baseline.
04:42Mangubat from way out. Too strong.
04:49Ongotan.
04:53Valencia.
04:55Ongotan. No goal.
04:58Goal.
05:04Looks like there's a chumap up there on that rebounding action.
05:09Followed by the officials.
05:12Here on the lay-up.
05:14Sabong up there.
05:16The second...
05:18There's no call yet.
05:22Ah, the left hand.
05:29Fourteen seconds to shoot.
05:33Bakale coming back to our game.
05:36And Mapua just got faster.
05:38With Mangubat, Escamiz, and Bakale on the floor at the same time.
05:50Hand.
05:55Bernal.
05:59Bernal.
06:01Tried to back it home.
06:03Arediano.
06:05Another opportunity.
06:09Handshake.
06:12Handshake.
06:14If you're a guard, you always want to bring this to your head.
06:18Because they're calling for a handshake now.
06:20So as long as there are no adjustments.
06:22He's holding it.
06:24He's holding it.
06:26Usually, when you're on the counter, you can't use your arms anymore.
06:30You just have to use your feet.
06:32You can't impede the action of an offensive player with your hands.
06:39Back down.
06:41Kapulo.
06:43Hop-step.
06:45Bernal.
06:47Put-back.
06:49Mahina.
06:51And Bakale maintains his balance.
06:53Here comes Escamiz.
06:55One man to beat.
06:57Escamiz, drop pass.
06:59Firmin is fouled.
07:05Kapulo's shot has a mixed feeling.
07:10A good forward pass here.
07:12And Escamiz engaging the defense.
07:14And dropping it at the last minute.
07:17Good rim run by Aaron Firmin.
07:20Getting extended minutes.
07:21Here's Aaron Firmin.
07:23So, you know, you can use Firmin when there's a big man in front of you.
07:29He's heavy.
07:31He's in the middle of the fight.
07:33Here's Kapulo.
07:35Prior to this game, Firmin was only averaging 3 minutes per game.
07:40That's how it is.
07:42That's why you're there.
07:44There are match-ups you can use.
07:46You just have to be ready.
07:48Nightly changes.
07:51Kamay.
07:54Valencia.
07:57Bernal.
07:59Valencia splits the team.
08:01Valencia.
08:03Wild shot. Kapulo.
08:05Bumitin sa ere.
08:07Firmin gets the stop.
08:09Cardinals are running.
08:11Hubilia.
08:13To the rack.
08:15Dire, direchos.
08:17Siglis Hubilia.
08:19Ongotan.
08:21Ongotan.
08:26What a game.
08:31Mamubat, line drive.
08:34Grabs his own miss somehow.
08:37Nobody boxed him out.
08:41Escamiz still looking for his first field goal.
08:45Escamiz to Firmin for 3.
08:513.9.
08:53Firmin.
08:55Kamay.
08:57Wild shot.
08:59Ongotan comes from out of nowhere.
09:01But could not complete the rebound.
09:03Hubilia swatted away by Bernal.
09:06Bernal.
09:09Bernal.
09:11Bernal.
09:13Bernal.
09:15Bernal.
09:17Bernal.
09:19Bernal.
09:21Renzo Henao, Yung Mai Kamal, Jack Cabudong, Masty Valencia, Cyrus Aguengor, and Lawrence Manguban.
09:51After the celebration.
09:56Still locked in.
10:00So penalty both teams.
10:06Smart play by Ungotan.
10:09I thought it was a dunk.
10:12It was a shot.
10:13One point lead.
10:19Igliane trying to return to the game.
10:21But it's Firmin he's trying to come in for.
10:26It seems.
10:30And Aaron Firmin.
10:31Warning on Arellano head coach Chico Manabat.
10:34For resentment to a call.
10:36Having a good account of himself in this ball game.
10:38Two free throws.
10:39Aaron Firmin.
10:42Firmin has it missed from the free throw line.
10:47And there's the first.
10:58Igliane ready to check in for Firmin.
11:04And there we go.
11:05Igliane.
11:08Returns as Firmin.
11:12Checks out.
11:13With some solid contributions.
11:16Five points, two rebounds.
11:18In eight minutes of action.
11:20And RJ Geronimo barely played in this game.
11:23Just checked in and here comes Escamiz.
11:26First field goal of the game.
11:30Geronimo is still cold.
11:34Clint Escamiz streaking.
11:37All the way.
11:38For that layup.
11:40And.
11:41Abiera with a.
11:44Wild shot.
11:48Good hands by Chico Bancale.
11:50Tapping that ball and Clint Escamiz finishing.
11:55On that pass break.
11:57He's the very best.
11:59At anticipating.
12:01Passes.
12:03And snatching it away from the passing lanes.
12:07Escamiz.
12:08Inside pass.
12:09Igliane.
12:10Quick goal.
12:11Libre.
12:15And just like that.
12:18Mapua is on top by seven.
12:21Timeout Arellano.
12:23Medina for the first time.
12:26I thought it was short.
12:27No, the follow through was not direct.
12:29Medina.
12:30This is a big zone.
12:31Sebastian got a 1-3-1.
12:33Trying to get into their zone of offense.
12:35JRU wants to get that.
12:37And.
12:38He's got it.
12:39He's got it.
12:40He's got it.
12:41He's got it.
12:42He's got it.
12:43He's got it.
12:44He's got it.
12:45He's got it.
12:46He's got it.
12:47He's got it.
12:48He's got it.
12:49He's got it.
12:50He's got it.
12:52He gets the shooter loading on the corner.
12:55Wow.
13:03It seemed like forever that both these teams were trading baskets and tied.
13:09But Mapua.
13:12Just like that, erecting a 7-point advantage after this triple by Cyrus Cuenco
13:18I like how Igleani reads on that spin and roll.
13:23Hitting the short roll, this is Clint Escamiz.
13:26It's a hard show for him.
13:27He can still get two free throws.
13:29At the last moment, he thought about where to bring the ball.
13:32The corner is free as well.
13:35Okay.
13:37Babua Lutas.
13:38Chito Pistolero.
13:40Pistolero, very active.
13:44Of course, Coach Chito
13:47used to be the head coach also of the Babua Cardinals
13:50during the time of Alan Makahas.
13:53Number 12, Renzo Abiera for faking a foul.
14:10That's right.
14:12Abiera.
14:16Abiera.
14:18Kabay.
14:19Oh!
14:23On that seal,
14:27Chris Subilia was called.
14:32The off-ball.
14:46Kapulong misses on the first free throw.
14:50JL today.
14:53Six out of eleven from the free throw line.
15:11Babua trying to protect this six-point lead.
15:17Bancale.
15:19Igliani.
15:20Bancale.
15:23Ball will stay with the Cardinals.
15:38Escamiz.
15:40To Igliani.
15:42Igliani.
15:43To Clint.
15:44From the corner.
15:45Clint Escamiz.
15:47It's time.
15:52Winning time.
16:01Pongotan will try to answer.
16:04No dial tone.
16:05No dial tone.
16:15Escamiz.
16:17Steps back.
16:19Another one!
16:21Clint Escamiz.
16:23Back to back.
16:24Three points!
16:32Kapulong, line drive.
16:34And he responds.
16:36With a triple of his own.
16:39Three minutes but Clint Escamiz hitting his shots.
16:46And JL Kapulong answers.
16:49Escamiz all of a sudden has eleven points.
16:52Escamiz today.
16:54Eleven points, five rebounds, eight assists, and four steals.
16:59For the first three quarters, Escamiz was very passive.
17:04Focused on setting up his teammates.
17:07Look what he's going to do after this shot.
17:10It's time.
17:11Yup.
17:14It's time.
17:17It's time.
17:19It's time.
17:21It's his time.
17:23MVP time.
17:26That's Clint Escamiz for you.
17:29The ultimate showman.
17:32The face that runs the place.
17:40Yeah, you know the deal.
17:4571-63.
17:50Bobilla with the board.
17:59And the ball is with...
18:01Guess who?
18:03Numero Zero.
18:08And Borromeo.
18:11Trying to shadow him.
18:12Bacane.
18:13Oh, he's running out of time.
18:15What will he get here?
18:21It's a very important possession for Arellano.
18:25They want to be within a basket or two.
18:30Need to get a bucket here.
18:36Kapulong.
18:38Borromeo.
18:40Hernal.
18:42Hernal glides to the basket.
18:46And Arellano plants the Mabuhay lead to six.
19:04The shoot gives it to Montano.
19:06To the corner, Guadagna.
19:07Fourth to shoot.
19:08Guadagna.
19:10Fires a jumper.
19:11It's good.
19:13Maklag Guadagna.
19:17Arellano will try once again.
19:19Five seconds.
19:20Basti Valencia from the tree.
19:22No good.
19:33JL Kapulong today.
19:3516 points, four rebounds.
19:37And that was his first main triple of the contest.
19:43Borromeo finding Hernal.
19:47Who glides to the basket to cut the Mabuhay lead to six.
20:03It will be Mabuhay ball.
20:05With two minutes and 12 seconds to go.
20:12Mabuhay.
20:14Gets it to Cuenco.
20:17Cuenco.
20:18Cross-court pass.
20:19Movilia on the attack.
20:21Igliani.
20:22Too strong.
20:29T-back.
20:31Kapulong in the post.
20:32Kapulong foul.
20:34Free throws again.
20:36Cheap points.
20:38We want to see a free throw story.
20:40A lot of competitors throughout the game.
20:44This is also a good look.
20:46Looking for their big guy.
20:47Their most potent option right now.
20:52Well, the free throw.
20:57He takes care of the first one.
21:00Mabuhay is 24-30 from the free throw line.
21:04Igliani, 19 out of 36 from the line.
21:10A lot of Mentes for both squads.
21:29Mabuhay.
21:38Mabuhay.
21:40Mapua protecting a fine point lead.
21:44Cuenco.
21:46Movilia.
21:48Oh, a turnover.
21:50Kapulong.
21:58Tight defense there by Igliani.
22:00Here they are attacking.
22:01Kamay on the drive.
22:03And Cuen Kamay is able to score.
22:09There's a magic in the air.
22:12This is a crazy move.
22:13Look at Anton.
22:14He sits down.
22:15The lay-up is a yo-yo.
22:16He lands it.
22:17End one.
22:20It's gone.
22:21A chest hang in for Lawrence Mangubat.
22:24And one free throw.
22:26New one.
22:27Kamay.
22:28So Mangubat will check out.
22:31Concepcion returns.
22:34Wow.
22:35You really need to work hard for every win.
22:47Escamiz.
22:50Borromeo.
22:53Taking a lot of pride in this assignment to try to stop the MVP.
22:59Escamiz stops his dribble.
23:02Movilia.
23:05Mapua has to shoot.
23:06Escamiz.
23:09Concepcion.
23:10And the Cardinals are stopped.
23:12Wow.
23:13Borromeo's defense.
23:16The whole time.
23:18He has been on the grill of Clint Escamiz.
23:21Remember, he was on the bench when Clint made those three pointers.
23:27And we have a timeout.
23:28Mapua holding on to a 71-69 lead.
23:42Off the bench for Lozano.
23:47The players will fight.
23:49You never know who will score.
23:53Lozano back out to Gojo Cruz.
23:55He will pull the trigger.
23:57He will knock it down.
24:00And that's the scoring caliber that he has.
24:04Seven points for the rookie, Mark Gojo Cruz.
24:10Look at Borromeo.
24:11Just how big Clint Escamiz is.
24:14He's been doing that
24:15every time he's been on the floor.
24:19Forcing the MVP to take a tough shot
24:22with the clock winding down.
24:25And Concepcion unable to put that one up properly
24:28as he was too deep.
24:29Now they have to play defense.
24:37Sir Paul Supan of Jose Lezal University.
24:46Jorge Escamiz.
24:58Sir Hercules Calienta.
25:05Matcom Chairman of LPU.
25:12Borromeo gets it.
25:16Down low to the big man.
25:18Kapulong misses.
25:20And the foul was called.
25:23Oh boy.
25:24Penalty dito.
25:27So foul.
25:28Si team up O'Hotan on that scramble.
25:30Foul on number one.
25:31Team up O'Hotan.
25:32Penalty.
25:35Tignan natin ito ah.
25:36On this inbound.
25:37Straight post.
25:38Papunta kay Kapulong.
25:40Patablasana.
25:41Oo, ando dun sa ilalim eh.
25:42Ando dun yung tira.
25:46And then they call the foul on T-Mac.
25:48Oo, nakaabang yung kamay.
25:51Big ball right there.
25:55Two free throws.
25:56Andre Igneane.
26:00Two free throws on the way
26:03for Andre Igneane.
26:05He hasn't missed today.
26:07Three out of three.
26:16Second free throw.
26:17To make it a two possession lead.
26:20Oo.
26:22As soon as he left.
26:24As soon as the ball left his fingers,
26:26you knew it was strong.
26:29Kamay.
26:31Kapulong na naman.
26:34Borromeo.
26:35Pident.
26:36Kapulong.
26:37Offensive rebound.
26:39Plus the putback.
26:41Plus the putback.
26:51We have a timeout.
26:52It will be Mapua possession when we return.
27:07Almost a steal.
27:08Actually, he completes the steal.
27:10Paeng Are.
27:11Bumiting sa Are.
27:13Paeng Are.
27:14Wow.
27:15And one.
27:21May deflection dito mula kay Are.
27:24Kondisyon na hap.
27:3072 to 71.
27:32Arellano University trying to slay another giant.
27:36Nakahuli ng isang malaking isdak.
27:39And they might be one stop away from doing just that.
27:45On the short roll.
27:47Just creating space.
27:48Kapulong.
27:49And hanging around to get an offensive rebound
27:51to finish off that shot and possession.
27:54They're down one, Anton.
27:57So, Mapua opting to inbound full court.
28:06Here we go.
28:11Clint Escandez has the ball.
28:14Borromeo.
28:16Has been all over him throughout this game.
28:20And an offensive foul called.
28:25Wow.
28:26Magandang makita ulit yun on the replay.
28:28Kung hinabol ni Andre Igliani.
28:31Dahil mabigat pa dun.
28:33Panglima niyang personal foul.
28:36Reset tayo ng mga foul trouble natin na players, Anton.
28:40So, Igliani fouling out.
28:42Kondisyon, Cuenco, four fouls.
28:44Pinoya, Hernal, and Kapulong.
28:46Lahat may four fouls na.
28:49We'll take a break.
28:50Arellano will have the ball when we come back.
29:03Harap na.
29:04Magsama sama.
29:06Dahil together, we own the future.
29:10This is our league.
29:12This is our moment.
29:14Sa puso mo, the sky is the limit.
29:17Harap na.
29:19Magsama sama.
29:21Dahil together, we own the future.
29:25Kayo na kami. Kayo na kami.
29:28Kamage lang tayo, daiboy.
29:31So here's the situation.
29:33Mabuha had a chance to extend the lead.
29:35But Igliani, leaning towards Timac, Ongotan.
29:40Iligal talaga, binueluhan.
29:42Tapos sinalubong niya yung papuntang player.
29:44Good call by the referees.
29:46Kasi if you, ang screens, especially off-ball screens,
29:49you want to stand on a spot, hold that spot,
29:52and let the offensive player get to you.
29:55Si Igliani extended his shoulder.
29:58Outside his frame.
30:00Tatama naman, pero sinigurado niyang tumama.
30:03Kasi para malibri si Cuenco.
30:05So what do you think Coach Chico Manabat is going to run?
30:08Straight post.
30:10I'm going straight post to the big man, Jeff Capullo.
30:13And expect a triple team.
30:15Magko-collapse yan.
30:17Magko-collapse yan dahil mas maliit yung bantingan si Hubilia.
30:20Hubilia, who started at center,
30:23siya nakatao kay Jeff Capullo.
30:25Here we go.
30:27Fernand looking for a teammate.
30:29Escamiz, close to a steal.
30:31Kamay has it.
30:33Kamay!
30:35Concepcion snaps the ball away from him.
30:37And the Cardinals
30:39complete the steal.
30:41Escamiz all the way!
30:44And Hubilia apparently was hit
30:46on the right side of the face.
30:56And Escamiz made that happen.
30:58Nearly intercepting that ball.
31:01And then look at Concepcion.
31:03A clean swipe of the basketball.
31:06And the Cardinals
31:08And then look at Concepcion.
31:10A clean swipe of the basketball.
31:13Mangubat looking up ahead.
31:16And there's no way you can catch Escamiz there.
31:31So Hubilia's motion in that
31:33there was an elbow or a forearm.
31:35Kapulong didn't even get to touch the ball.
31:38That's what hurts for Arellano.
31:40And the signature Clint Escamiz finish on the break.
31:48And right away the referee is signaling the
31:51unsportsmanlike foul
31:53on Obota.
31:55You already saw
31:57the referee's reaction.
31:59It's a foul.
32:01It's a foul.
32:03You already saw
32:05Hubilia holding on the right side of his face.
32:07He was clenching his jaw.
32:09And a guy as built
32:11and as sturdy as Hubilia
32:13will not just hold his face like that
32:15unless he was hit
32:17by a solid blow.
32:19But even though they got that basket
32:22I think Arellano still has a timeout.
32:25We gotta check if they still have a timeout.
32:28Because it's just a
32:30three-point ball game.
32:32And the thing is
32:34the basket hasn't even been credited yet.
32:37This is supposed to be 74-71
32:39after that layup of Escamiz.
32:49Yeah, they're cool.
32:51As you have been explaining.
33:03It's all good in the hood.
33:06It's a duty foul.
33:08So basket counts.
33:10An unsportsmanlike foul
33:12on Timak Obotan.
33:14Category 2.
33:16Basket counts for Clint Escamiz.
33:20It was an unsportsmanlike foul
33:22on Timak Obotan.
33:26Criteria number 2
33:28for excessive hard contact.
33:33So Chris Hubilia
33:35can put this game on ice.
33:44But he misses on the first.
33:46The ball possession is still theirs.
33:49So they need to foul here
33:51by Arellano
33:53or they milk the clock.
33:55Two seconds.
33:56Hubilia makes his free throw.
33:58That takes care of business.
34:03Alright, you see
34:05Timak Obotan
34:07coming over to check on Hubilia.
34:09But one of our officials
34:13was trying to stop him.
34:23Alright, we'll be back
34:25for the conclusion of this game.
34:32We own it together.
34:34We own the future.
34:36This is our league.
34:38This is our moment.
34:40In Season 99,
34:42there are new heroes of the game.
34:44In this first century,
34:46there are also OG heroes,
34:48the NCAA.
34:50It's not just sports legends
34:52and famous celebrities
34:54who became the fruit of the NCAA.
35:03We own the future.
35:10Well, just another day at the office
35:13for the NCAA stakeholders
35:16including myself and Coach Hammer.
35:18These are the kind of games
35:20that we've been covering, my friend.
35:22A long time fan.
35:24Lifetime fan.
35:26And forever NCAA family member.
35:31The ball stays with Mabuhay Guardians.
35:33With more than seven...
35:41Mabuhay's just...
35:43They just have to protect the basketball here.
35:46Cuenco gets it to his practice.
35:49And...
35:54Clint knows he's going to foul.
35:56It should have been a quick foul.
35:58When Aureliano fouls,
36:00they still have time.
36:02And then...
36:04Clint still has to pass.
36:06Penalty, Joseph Hernal.
36:08Five fouls.
36:22Renzo Apiera replaces
36:24Joseph Hernal.
36:26Two free throws.
36:28Clint Escamiz!
36:30The call was the unsportsmanlike foul
36:33towards the end.
36:34That was just one possession.
36:35Clint shot. You have 16 seconds.
36:37You still have one timeout.
36:40What a game for Clint Escamiz.
36:43Double digits in scoring.
36:45He only really went to work
36:47late in the fourth quarter.
36:49Actually, he was working the whole game.
36:52But the game plan was to take out Clint Escamiz.
36:56He engaged his offense
36:58and waited for his time.
37:01He was setting up his defense
37:03in the first three quarters and a half.
37:05But Clint Escamiz
37:07with the finishing touches here.
37:11And that will do it.
37:13Bodies on the floor.
37:15Both teams
37:18expending a lot of energy.
37:20Capulong is lying down
37:23close to the half-court line.
37:25What a war.
37:28Opportunity to get another big fish.
37:31But Mapua holding on in the endgame
37:34and being able to mentally
37:37take care of the things that they need to do
37:39to get this win.
37:41Arellano was able to hook the mouth.
37:44But the fish was able to wiggle out
37:47as the Cardinals take this win 77-71.
