00:00Inside pass. Avidez misses. Gunanan.
00:11Gunanan spins. Throws it out. Barba. What a matchup. Pagaran and Barba.
00:22Perhaps too much passing there, Christiana.
00:24Yes, first possession, 24 second shot clock violation. You have to credit the defense of the perpetual alpaca now.
00:31Yup. No daylight for the Pirates.
00:38Abidez misses. Goho Cruz. Orgo is seen. Pagaran from the corner.
00:49And that's a foul on Orgo.
00:52As you said earlier, it's a shooter-shooter, so even if it's just a first possession,
00:57even if it's just the first possession of the team, if you're free, you'll shoot the ball.
01:01And I'm sure they're going to get the composure eventually in this game.
01:06Barba. Barba.
01:16This is FGC.
01:19Pagaran. Orgo. Pull-up jumper is money.
01:26And let's get our first courtside update from Bianca Alejandre.
01:31In this arena of aspirations, the LPU Pirates and Perpetual Altas battle not just for points, but for team spirit and pride.
01:39At this point, the two teams are tied for victory.
01:43And according to Coach Gilbert Malabanan, we had a bad start in the previous game,
01:47but for now, we are trading Perpetual as a powerhouse team.
01:50As a quick update, McLaude Guadagna, a key player from the Piratas, would not grace us today due to an unfortunate right-angle sprain.
01:58Meanwhile, Coach Olsen Rosella rallies the Altas by relaying,
02:02we should treat each game differently but have the same approach.
02:05We should still be hungry to win.
02:08Amidst every possession, both teams are proving that it is not about the destination,
02:12but about your hustle that gets you there.
02:14All for my update, over to you, Anton and Christiana.
02:18Thank you very much, Bianca.
02:19So I was looking for McLaude Guadagna,
02:22because Bianca reported that McLaude is still injured.
02:27And I see him behind the bench.
02:29And I also see former LPU coach Topex Robinson.
02:34Coach Topex is in the building.
02:36He will give inspiration for other players to step up in the absence of McLaude Guadagna.
02:42Welcome back to the NCAA, Coach Topex.
02:46Of course, he led the LPU to the finals in back-to-back years.
02:52We will still see LPU's aggressiveness until now.
02:58Pagaran.
03:00Pagaran floater.
03:05And Goho Cruz comes up with a steal.
03:09Look at the defense of Perpetual Altas.
03:11Actually, now they already have two passes.
03:13They are already very aggressive in defense.
03:14They are just showing how much they are hungry for this win.
03:27The LPU players are not yet able to sit down, Cristiana.
03:31You know, I still have to think about who led the LPU.
03:34I don't know where it started.
03:36They were standing the whole time until the team was able to shoot.
03:42Almost three minutes have passed.
03:46They are still standing.
03:49You see elements of the triangle here.
03:53Pagaran breaking free.
03:58He showed us time and again that he really has a skill set for doing things like that.
04:03Getting himself open, creating baskets for himself.
04:06There is a better look at former LPU head coach Topex Robinson.
04:12Former LPU head coach Topex Robinson.
04:19Now a collegiate champion coach.
04:22And being a student at the same time.
04:25Always a student of the game, Coach Topex is.
04:36Barba.
04:38Pass intercepted.
04:40Orgo.
04:41To Nunez.
04:44Could not complete the dunk.
04:46He was the guy who made the first dunk this season.
04:57And LPU calls the first time out.
05:01Still looking for their first basket of the game.
05:11Because together, we own the future.
05:15This is a league.
05:17This is a moment.
05:23Medina for the first time.
05:26I thought it was short.
05:28The follow through was not direct.
05:30Medina.
05:31This is a big zone.
05:33Trying to get into their zone of offense.
05:36JRU wants to get that shooter loading on the corner.
05:40Wow.
05:43100 here in the heart of Asia.
05:47And there is JM Bravo who unfortunately is out for the season due to a spine injury.
05:55And the injury happened in the second game of the season.
06:02And there's McLeod Guadagna.
06:06Still nursing that right ankle sprain.
06:10Right now, if you're LPU, given the very tight defense of Perpetual,
06:15you need to take better care of the ball.
06:17The single high like that.
06:19If the person gets close to you, you need to release the next open guy.
06:34Guadagna.
06:36Aviles.
06:37Aviles.
06:40Aviles backing down Duñez.
06:42What a battle.
06:48That's another defensive disruption from the Perpetual Altas.
06:53Eight on the shot clock.
06:55Eight seconds to shoot.
06:58Guadagna.
07:02Benefiel, wild shot.
07:04Aviles.
07:06LPU still can't buy a basket.
07:17So three minutes and 32 seconds have passed.
07:21LPU still can't buy a basket here.
07:24Yes, and they've already violated the 24 second shot clock.
07:28So again, what I've said, take better care of the ball, rotate the ball more,
07:32find the next open guy.
07:33If two or three people try to block you, you need to let them go.
07:40Duñez.
07:43Bagaran launches one from the outside.
07:51Holding well on number 13, Gael Montano's first.
07:57Eman Pizarro replacing Jericho Duñez.
08:01So the second center is now it.
08:04Pizarro.
08:06Duñez checks out.
08:11Cruz sees Bagaran pop out.
08:13Pizarro.
08:16Pizarro.
08:18Two misses.
08:20Bagaran read the defense well.
08:22He hurled and when he was followed, he found the big man who opened.
08:26Barba from way out.
08:28Nothing.
08:30Cruz.
08:39Goho Cruz.
08:41Abis.
08:44Orgo.
08:46From the elbow.
08:48Sean Orgo.
08:52Way to recognize the defense.
08:55He made himself open and made that basket.
08:59Montano.
09:02Barba to Aviles.
09:05Aviles to a cutting Villegas.
09:08Finally, LPU gets on the ball.
09:10Villegas from Teresys Aviles.
09:13And finally, his teammates are sitting.
09:16Yes, that was a very good give and go play from the LPU Pirates.
09:19LPU Pirates.
09:25It's been a long time, more than five minutes, almost five minutes.
09:29It's a warm-up.
09:31It's an extra warm-up for us.
09:33Sean Orgo.
09:41JP Boral replacing Cristian Bagaran.
09:45JP Boral checks into the game.
09:50Villegas.
09:53Aduya.
09:55Throws it out.
09:57Short.
09:59We need to see more of that ball movement from LPU.
10:03Because even if he didn't take that shot, that was a good shot.
10:06It was a very open look.
10:08Pizarro with the finish.
10:10Barba.
10:12Wow.
10:14Taking on four Baruch shirts.
10:25Orgos had a couple of mid-range baskets.
10:28But he was able to take it.
10:30He was able to take it.
10:32He was able to take it.
10:34He was able to take it.
10:36He was able to take it.
10:37A couple of mid-range baskets.
10:45Great set-up job by Goho Cruz to find Pizarro.
10:50Both teams are making good passes as of now.
10:53It's just a matter of finishing the basket.
11:04Villegas.
11:05Villegas.
11:07That was a very hard shot from Villegas.
11:09It was not open. It was heavily contested.
11:11And it came from a crossover move.
11:13It's hard to finish the three points when it comes to that kind of movement.
11:18Pizarro.
11:22Goho Cruz blocked.
11:36Good defensive stand right there.
11:40And LPU just got lengthier with the entry of Jonathan Dynek.
11:53Pizarro.
11:57Goho Cruz.
12:06Dynek gets it back.
12:08Dynek.
12:11And a foul called as he drove to the basket.
12:14Dynek's shot fake was beautiful in that possession.
12:18He was able to drive well and aggressively.
12:22And in the ending, he was able to get the foul.
12:35Dynek.
12:41Dynek.
12:46Villegas.
12:48Tukaduya.
12:50And MTC comes up with a rebound.
13:06Holding foul on number 11, Tukaduya, his first.
13:10Second deep foul.
13:12Henry Montemayor.
13:14Goho Cruz checks out of the game.
13:20Inigo Montemayor goes first.
13:31Montemayor.
13:36Ball stays with Perpetual.
13:39Good disruption from LPU in the inbound play.
13:50Manuel for three.
13:52Nothing but the bottom of the net.
13:54That play was so beautiful for Perpetual's shooter, Altas.
13:59Good recognition for passing to him.
14:03Dynek from the corner.
14:05Airball.
14:10Gonzalo.
14:12Boral.
14:14High-low play.
14:16And Pizarro is able to score.
14:28The ball movement of Perpetual.
14:31Looking like a well-oiled machine.
14:34Look at this high-low play.
14:36And when we come back, Pizarro will shoot the bonus.
14:38Pizarro will shoot the bonus.
14:58The shoot gives it to Montano.
15:00To the corner, Guadagna.
15:01Fourth to shoot.
15:02Guadagna.
15:03Fires a jump bar.
15:04It's good!
15:05Goal!
15:11Arellano will try once again.
15:12Five seconds.
15:14Basti Valencia from the tree.
15:15No good!
15:18And now, PU Pirates!
15:21Just two points so far.
15:25In over seven minutes of pass, that's Mr. Frank Gusi
15:29of Perpetual Mancom representative
15:31sitting beside Dr. Lorenzo Lorenzo of EAC.
15:54You know, I actually noted it down that LPU needs to work on their three-point shooting.
15:58Last game, they only scored 11 out of 34.
16:01In this game, this quarter, we're seeing them getting open looks,
16:04getting good passes in the three-point line.
16:07But it's either an air ball or they're really not shooting.
16:10So that's something we need to work on moving forward with this game.
16:29Montemayor with the finish.
16:33You can see Montemayor being highly equipped to finish baskets like those.
16:37That sidestep was amazing, his leap.
16:42Kaineng.
16:43He jumped on the air.
16:46LPU.
16:48LPU.
16:50Montemayor.
16:52Montemayor.
16:54Montemayor.
16:55Montemayor.
16:56Montemayor.
16:57LPU will have a chance to put more points on the board via the free-throw line.
17:03Perpetual just won't give them.
17:06Perpetual is not giving them a free shot from the start.
17:11I don't care if they foul, I don't care.
17:13As long as they can disrupt LPU's offense.
17:16They're good.
17:18And what a move right there by Diego Montemayor.
17:27Montemayor.
17:34Manelo missing on the first free-throw.
17:41Sixth to second.
17:45Nice.
17:47LPU with a full court pressure.
17:52Axel Manuel.
17:54Boral gets the ball back from Pizarro.
18:01Elzano.
18:11Let's see if LPU switching to a full court press will fuel their aggression and their speed.
18:18And their comfort in playing.
18:24Because if you can't make baskets, you're going to have to defend.
18:32One of the co-captains, Nat Sevilla, is now in for Perpetual.
18:37Perpetual.
18:52Offensive foul at Pinawak.
18:55Well that's the initial call, now they're reviewing it.
19:08A minute and 38.
19:10That's the time remaining here.
19:13In the first, let's see it again.
19:16So an unsportsmanlike foul called by Ananigo Montemayor.
19:19Henry Montemayor has upgraded to an unsportsmanlike foul.
19:23I don't think it's a foul.
19:26It's a foul.
19:29It's a foul!
19:31It's a foul.
19:33It's a foul!
19:35It's a foul.
19:36It's a foul!
19:37It's a foul!
19:39It's a foul!
19:41It's a foul, it's a foul!
19:42Montemayor has upgraded to an unsportsmanlike foul under criteria number two for excessive hard contact
19:55There are different
19:57Ways players set screens sometimes their hands are down sometimes their elbows are out and on that instance
20:05Inigo's elbows were very much out
20:08You know, I've been commending their defense from the get-go
20:11but when it comes to being aggressive
20:15You can give such fouls that can dictate the next flow of the game
20:21You need to be more careful with that
20:23So let's see if Montemayor will make the adjustment
20:26Especially since there are mistakes on the floor like Villegas and Moranejo
20:31Especially Villegas, he always stays low
20:37And fouls like that, we all know it could dictate the result of the game
20:43Even if it's this early, the LPU's offense will be fueled and the score will be tied
20:49Oh look at the defense of Perpetual
20:52Sevilla and Pizarro rising up to challenge Panelo
20:57Boral for three
20:59Gordon with the board
21:01Gordon to Villegas
21:05Gordon for three
21:07Omar Gordon
21:09Way to make the most out of that fast break opportunity
21:12He bounced and shot
21:19So this is six straight points now for LPU
21:26They're on a full court man-to-man against Perpetual
21:36to try and stop their offensive executions
21:39and to try and fuel their own offense as well
21:44Right corner triple does not work
21:46Panelo comes up with the board
21:48Gordon could not catch the ball properly
21:52Montemayor spin move
21:54Maintains his balance
21:56It looks like he's not even looking
22:01He's in a hurry
22:03Boral
22:04Sevilla
22:05Oh, too strong
22:09Another foul
22:13Hockey panel number 13, Henry Montemayor
22:16Penalty is third foul
22:25Dramatic music
22:33Montemayor will take a break
22:46He really needs to control himself
22:48He really wants to steal the ball
22:51But you know, referees call for reach-ins.
22:55So, you shouldn't be defending. Just use the right ball pressure.
23:04Villegas converts on the free throw and...
23:10A rare entry here for the LPU Pirates, Lion Royal Palingayan.
23:17Wearing jersey number 10, this is just his fourth appearance in NCAA Season 100.
23:28And the referees say, count the basket plus the foul.
23:33And the foul.
23:47Usually, at this point in time, the third center is already in.
23:51Kagiran.
23:52But because Pizarro has played so well, his pinuto went down.
23:58Well, if you're the coach, if you can see that the player inside is efficient and effective,
24:03you're going to maximize his use inside the court.
24:07He even got his shot.
24:13That's heart and hustle right there.
24:15That's why he's still inside the court.
24:18He has earned his minutes.
24:20Oh, but Boralejo goes right at him.
24:28Pushing down on the right and on the side of the center.
24:33Not a miss.
24:37Good presence of mind by Boralejo to attack, knowing that the first quarter is over.
24:47Also, because they're both in a penalty situation,
24:50it's smarter to attack the rim aggressively to get the fouls.
24:55And then, a free trip to the line.
24:57Boralejo completes the three-point play.
25:07Manuel.
25:12And that's the end of the first period.
25:14Coach Olsen Graciela in his perpetual altas with a 19-13 lead over LPU.
