FunTranscript
00:00The starting unit of EAC Gurtiza, Jacob Pagsanhan, Wilmar Oftana will be at the center spot here alongside Kyle Fochavo.
00:10They're at the backcourt of the EAC General, so Angel Jaramal will be coming off the bench.
00:15Both teams deploying a slightly shorter lineup here, so we are guaranteed pace here, friends.
00:22Actually, both teams have a small lineup. They like to play with a small lineup.
00:27Their strengths are their guards.
00:30Both teams have very big guards.
00:33In the first half, we have Escobedo, who can really score with the EAC.
00:38You have Gurtiza, Pagsanhan, Doromal.
00:41So you can really expect the guards to come up here.
00:57I love this guy, Ochavo, his mentality. He doesn't think he's the smallest.
01:09When he plays, he looks like he's the tallest guy in the team.
01:12That's right, that's right.
01:13This kid has a big heart.
01:15He's going to be tasked to guard one of the best players in the league, Paeng Are, who is now setting the table for San Sebastian.
01:24They swing it to Filip Rico on the other side. He drives to the paint.
01:29Gaba drains it from the outside to start off the scoring for the Stats.
01:36Another scorer for San Sebastian, Gaba.
01:38Actually, Gaba's brothers are both scorers.
01:41Rex and Ralf. Ooh, Gurtiza.
01:44Good D for Gaba.
01:47This is what Gaba's brothers are giving.
01:50They're known for not just offense, but more known as good defenders.
01:55Actually, San Sebastian, when I watch them play, their mindset is really defense.
02:02When they really go for the ball, as in aggressive when they go for the ball.
02:07Active hands, steals. That's why they got 20 steals last game.
02:10That's right.
02:11Ooh, Velasco gets crowded in the paint.
02:14He picks it up and a shot-block violation on the Stats.
02:19You're right. And if you're EAC, the JRU, that's how heavy bombers beat them.
02:26They played physical, especially in that fourth quarter.
02:30They got a lot of steals against EAC.
02:32They need to be careful against San Sebastian because although this is a different defensive scheme on the court,
02:38it's the same energy and physicality.
02:40That's true. So let's see if they have adjustments during training after the JRU game
02:46and if they can apply them in this game against San Sebastian.
02:49Okay, let's use this opportunity to go courtside for the first time.
02:52Bianca Alejandra is here.
02:54It is undeniable that pressure is a privilege for every ball game.
02:58And after facing tough losses, both the San Sebastian Stags and EAC Generals
03:03are embracing the pressure to reveal their prowess on court.
03:06According to Coach Arvin Bon-Leon, in our past few games, we were relaxed.
03:10In the first two quarters, we learned a lesson to play with no reservations.
03:15Meanwhile, Coach Gerson Capiltas empowers his Generals as he says,
03:19San Sebastian is a very dangerous team and we have to be ready for all the blows they might throw.
03:24Now, neither team is backing down as both claw for every point.
03:27And this fight sets a reminder that great things await those who artfully seize opportunities.
03:32All for my update, Martin and Prince.
03:34Thank you so much, Bianca.
03:35Well, let's go first to San Sebastian.
03:37You know, they want to play with no reservations according to Coach Arvin Bon-Leon.
03:41We saw an example of that in the fourth quarter against Benilde.
03:44They were unleashed in that fourth frame.
03:47And it's only a matter of sustaining it for the entire game, right Prince?
03:51Yes, I really saw that in their fourth quarter performance against Benilde.
03:55So imagine Martin, if all throughout the game, that's their performance.
03:58How many games will they win because of that?
04:02So, it's just all about being consistent all throughout the game.
04:05Not only in the beginning, not only in the end, but you have to be consistent all throughout the game.
04:09The AAC knows that.
04:11They know the identity of this San Sebastian team.
04:15So, they prepared fully for this one.
04:17Pablo Gavet, difficult take.
04:20And Oftana collects.
04:22This is Carlo Chavo.
04:25Chavo scored the first points of the game.
04:28Oftana.
04:29A bit of off-balance there for Oftana.
04:31Baxan Ham is swinging to the right flank.
04:34Gortiza from the corner.
04:35And Gortiza knocks it down.
04:40It's really different when you have a green light.
04:43Your confidence is really high.
04:46That is the first bucket.
04:48In the first frame for Gortiza.
04:50Escobedo, his turn to fire.
04:53Too strong that time.
04:55And that's it for Gortiza.
04:57A 15-point performance.
04:59What a spin.
05:00There's a foul though.
05:01Away from the ball.
05:03Cobb falls on the floor in an entanglement with Leonard Velasco.
05:09Let's take a look at this.
05:12Yes.
05:13He pulled it.
05:16It happened in front of our official.
05:19That's an obvious foul on Leonard Velasco.
05:21Here's Christian Rizzo.
05:24Velasco will be replaced.
05:26It's early on.
05:27Only two and a half minutes going by.
05:32Gortiza off the inbound.
05:34He just jumped.
05:35Oh!
05:36It's a blessing.
05:37But there's a push underneath.
05:38That's dangerous.
05:40Yes.
05:41His push was a bit obvious.
05:45Let's see here.
05:46Gortiza on the quick trigger off the inbound.
05:50Positioned.
05:51Watch number 16, Jacob.
05:53He pushed.
05:55You know, that little push.
05:57You saw the momentum of his jump.
06:00That's really strong.
06:03And for the AAC player,
06:05you also have to sell the ball.
06:07That's true.
06:09Are you like that as a player, Prince?
06:11Not really.
06:12Not really.
06:13I thought so.
06:14Because you know.
06:17Of course, as a player,
06:18that's something you need to acquire.
06:20And it's part of the game.
06:22It's part of the game.
06:23It's a strategy.
06:25And you can always mask it.
06:26No, it's really strong.
06:29Jacob.
06:30He missed two free throws.
06:32Nice and both.
06:33Now in the ballgame for San Sebastian.
06:36Are, his first attempt.
06:38It's the back iron.
06:40Here's King Gortiza.
06:41He likes to take those shots.
06:43The early three points.
06:44Well, that shows that he's a good player.
06:47Well, that shows that the coach is giving him the green light.
06:52For Harvey Pagsanhan.
06:54He's always on attack mode,
06:56especially in transition.
06:59Harvey is good at using his body.
07:01This guy can score.
07:03He can create plays for himself.
07:05But he was quiet last game.
07:07I think he only had five points.
07:09So let's see if he can step up for AAC in this game.
07:13That's a good call.
07:15This reshow was not established.
07:19As he was trying to take the contact from Harvey Pagsanhan.
07:24Harvey Pagsanhan at the free throw line.
07:26This is his first year in the NCAA.
07:30So, major adjustments for Harvey.
07:33It's been an up and down season.
07:35We've seen him get breakthrough games.
07:38There were games that you mentioned earlier.
07:40The previous one, he was quiet.
07:41He was quiet.
07:42But you just have to bounce back.
07:45If it's a slow game or a quiet game,
07:48just bounce back.
08:12And blow-by on Ares.
08:14You can call him Paeng.
08:16I think another factor is why they lost last game.
08:19This AAC.
08:20Because they only had six assists.
08:22So they weren't able to share the ball well.
08:25Or it's either they weren't able to share the ball well.
08:27Or their shots didn't go in.
08:29Or they were more of an isolation player.
08:31So it's different when you have a team movement.
08:36Individual plays are also possible.
08:39Ares is a good team.
08:41He's not just good at shooting.
08:42Well, that's given.
08:43Look at the AAC line-up.
08:44They can't create.
08:46They're all isolation players.
08:48So maybe that's a factor.
08:50They're all isolation players.
08:52And this is a problem now for San Sibas.
08:55Prince is at 6 minutes and 28 seconds.
08:59We're still in the first quarter.
09:01It's a penalty.
09:03And they already have six team fouls.
09:06There are games like this.
09:08They tend to be over-excited.
09:11And commit a lot of fouls.
09:13That's their identity.
09:14Very aggressive in defense.
09:15But of course, if you're over-aggressive.
09:17That's the consequence.
09:19Penalty or challenge.
09:21Here's Raymar Escobedo.
09:22Probably a good idea.
09:25To get himself to the free-throw line.
09:27To get some rhythm going.
09:30And look at him attack.
09:31Two AAC defenders.
09:34Again, Escobedo.
09:35Everything worked for him against Biniyod.
09:38Yeah.
09:39He had an amazing game.
09:41Career high.
09:42He actually had the chance to win the game.
09:44He was open in the corner.
09:46Corner three.
09:47But it was just a few minutes.
09:49But with just three points.
09:50He was one out of ten.
09:52That's where he struggled.
09:54Including that potential game winner.
09:57That he missed.
09:59And Raymar to the line here.
10:02But I feel like they'll somehow gain confidence.
10:05In their performance against Biniyod.
10:07Because of course.
10:08They went up against the number one team in the league.
10:11And they still fought.
10:12They almost won the game.
10:13So let's see if they'll be able to translate their confidence in this game.
10:18That was a confidence builder for Sansebastian.
10:20Although.
10:21They're not showing it here in the first.
10:24Tortinga.
10:25Another foul.
10:26This is the seventh team foul on Sansebastian.
10:31In the first.
10:33Four minutes.
10:35Yeah.
10:36Four minutes.
10:37In this game.
10:39King Bortiza.
10:40With a flex afterwards.
10:42And then.
10:43Took it strong in the second straight play.
10:46Earning himself a trip to the free-flow line.
10:49Which will come right after this break.
10:52Medina.
10:53From the free-style.
10:55I thought it was short.
10:56The follow-through was not direct.
10:58Medina.
10:59This is a big zone.
11:00Sansebastian got a 3-1 here.
11:02Trying to get into their zone of offense.
11:05JRU wants to get that shooter no-take on the corner.
11:09Wow.
11:10Raybundo.
11:11Staring down Grisho.
11:12Raybundo.
11:15And he's got it.
11:16He's got it.
11:17He's got it.
11:18He's got it.
11:19Raybundo.
11:21And a chance to complete.
11:23The 3-point play.
11:25Down on number 13.
11:26Christian Grisho.
11:28This is what you were saying earlier.
11:31No flicking of the wrist.
11:35On that shot by Medina.
11:37A Tuesday triple header.
11:39For a change we're here inside the Mall of Asia Arena.
11:43So a change of scenery in the NCAA.
11:46As we take a look at the students who have traveled.
11:49Not too far.
11:50Here in front of us is King Gortiza.
11:53The EAC top.
11:54Uniformed back.
11:56Right after class.
11:57Watching the game.
11:59King Gortiza is starting to hum here in the first quarter.
12:03He's got 6 points across his name already.
12:07And you like this go-to player.
12:09This is King Gortiza.
12:11Because he's really...
12:12Oh, you want me to carry you?
12:13Yes.
12:14Okay, I'll do it.
12:15I'll carry you.
12:17That's the right attitude.
12:19Especially if your teammates are struggling.
12:22What a leader.
12:23Even though his teammates are struggling.
12:25He's not showing that he's down.
12:28He's lifting his teammates up.
12:31And this is the first double digit advantage.
12:34For EAC.
12:3614 to 4.
12:39Let's see if Sunset Ascian has an answer in this possession.
12:42They're coming off a timeout.
12:44Celebrico.
12:45Stolen away.
12:46Paragraphed by Ochavo.
12:48Two free throws coming up for Ochavo.
12:51They really have to be smart with their fouls.
12:53I don't know if they're aware that they're being penalized.
12:57They're just really aggressive.
13:00Foul on Ochavo.
13:01This is going to be free throws number 12 and 13 for EAC.
13:07In just 4 and a half minutes of action.
13:14That's where they're getting a bulk of their points.
13:18More than half.
13:208 points converted from the free throw line by the Generals.
13:31Cairo Ochavo, steady at the point.
13:34Coach Jerison's decision was good.
13:36He started the day.
13:37Ochavo's minutes are really long.
13:39It's been 5 minutes and he's still not carrying him.
13:42Well, he's showing that he deserves to play.
13:45He deserves to start.
13:47San Sebastian badly needs a fire extinguisher.
13:51They don't get it from that.
13:54Jacob hops away with the board.
13:56Where's the pass?
13:58The other way.
14:00Foul.
14:01Foul on Cortiza.
14:04We're on the other side.
14:05Kyle.
14:09It's Celebrico.
14:10Celebrico.
14:11Nothing.
14:12This is what I've been telling you, Martin.
14:13These two teams are running and running.
14:16Another one.
14:17Another turnover.
14:18Steal after steal in this stretch.
14:22It's confusing to watch them run.
14:25And the pass to the other team.
14:28Are will board the trigger.
14:30Still nothing.
14:36Difficult stretch for San Sebastian.
14:41Zero out of three for Are so far.
14:44They've only made one field goal, Prince.
14:48That's just one.
14:49Three points.
14:51It's an opening.
14:53Ever since then, they've converted one free throw.
14:58San Sebastian is still cold.
15:00But knowing San Sebastian, he'll warm up.
15:02He'll still warm up.
15:05Like this guy, Pascual.
15:07He can shoot anywhere.
15:08Very streaky.
15:09Three-point shooter, Pascual.
15:12Steady as well.
15:13As a playmaker.
15:15Paeng left with space.
15:16Doesn't take it.
15:18Holding the trigger.
15:19Oh!
15:20Are finds the bottom of the net that time.
15:23Second field goal for San Sebastian.
15:26And the first make for Paeng.
15:28Pagay loses it.
15:30Off the tap from behind.
15:31Here's Pascual.
15:33Another one.
15:35Paeng is doubled.
15:38Paeng.
15:40Risho.
15:41Push shot.
15:43Easy running.
15:45They don't have the numbers.
15:46Gordiza doesn't care.
15:48He goes all the way.
15:50He shouldn't care.
15:51He's the number one guy in the team.
15:53Even though they don't have the numbers.
15:57Nine points in the first quarter.
16:00For King Gordiza.
16:02Filip Rico will try to answer.
16:03Wow!
16:04Nice shot by Loristo.
16:05He reached it.
16:06Nice shot by Filip Rico.
16:09Let's check this one out.
16:10Paeng is hesitated.
16:12He wants the harder shot.
16:13Yes.
16:15He saw that the net is big.
16:17So he thought of driving.
16:18But he still dropped it to three points.
16:20This guy has been unstoppable for EAC King Gordiza.
16:24With nine of their 18 points so far.
16:28Axel Dormal coming in for Kylo Chavo.
16:32This is what we've been waiting for.
16:34He's back to his former form here at NCAA.
16:43We've been saying this on the broadcast.
16:46When he was with Arellano, his final year,
16:48he was the second leading scorer of the league
16:51at 16 points a game.
16:53We know Axel Dormal's capabilities.
16:56He's a pure scorer.
16:59This season, he hasn't exploded yet.
17:01So let's see what game he'll be explosive.
17:07As you see, Gordiza, aggressive drive.
17:09But missed it.
17:10Are is on the move.
17:11Are!
17:13Doesn't get the bounce.
17:16Dormal.
17:18Gordiza.
17:20Drop of Baga.
17:21Another one.
17:22Gordiza with space.
17:23Short.
17:25This is DJ Filip Rico.
17:29Filip Rico.
17:31Are.
17:33Easy hook.
17:34Misses again.
17:36That's back-to-back layups.
17:37Missed by Paen.
17:39Dormal forced it.
17:43Luciano.
17:46No score pass.
17:47Axel is open.
17:49Dormal misses.
17:51Paen.
17:52Forward pass.
17:53Filip Rico.
17:54Touchdown.
17:55Good forward pass there.
18:0218-10.
18:04Little by little, San Sebastian is recovering.
18:08Loristo.
18:10Handling it.
18:12Luciano.
18:13Top of the fifth grade.
18:16For JC Luciano.
18:18And that's the
18:20second lead, the three-pointer
18:22of the EAC here in our first quarter.
18:24They stretch the lead to 11.
18:27Coming in for the Generals.
18:31To the corner, Guadagna.
18:33Fourth to shoot.
18:34Guadagna.
18:36Fires a jump bar.
18:37It's good.
18:40Guadagna.
18:43Arellano will try once again.
18:45Five seconds.
18:47Basti Valencia from the tree.
18:48No good.
18:50And now PU Pirates
18:52PU Pirates
18:54survives another toast can.
19:01Let's do a cutie cam first.
19:03We have a lot of cuties here at the Mall of Asia Arena.
19:06Of course, this is a rare occasion for
19:08NC elimination now.
19:10We're done with the Mall of Asia Arena.
19:14And they came out.
19:16All
19:18dressed up.
19:20There.
19:21Because they know
19:22we're going to throw a bigger jump now.
19:24Right?
19:25They need to be presentable.
19:26They're ready.
19:28There.
19:31That's the right response.
19:33And a good feature.
19:35Smile to the camera and wave.
19:37Okay, 21 to 10.
19:39Our first quarter.
19:41We said earlier that San Sebastian is shrinking a little bit.
19:44But we have an answer.
19:45We have an answer.
19:46Oh!
19:47Another turnover for San Sebastian.
19:50And that's after the timeout, Prince.
19:53Yeah, it really hurts for San Sebastian.
19:55Especially for Coach.
19:57Of course, he drew up a play.
19:59And not only that.
20:00It's a turnover.
20:03So EAC gets it back.
20:05Axel Doromal
20:07will facilitate.
20:09Luciano just near the three.
20:11Doromal at the bottom.
20:12Still nothing.
20:13Two fouls.
20:14Two fouls.
20:16Aliwat.
20:17Pascual.
20:18Rex Gabat now in the ballgame.
20:21Gabat, his first shot.
20:23And it goes for Rex Gabat.
20:25Rex Gabat!
20:26Three!
20:29San Sebastian.
20:32That's their third triple.
20:33For his action.
20:36Luciano will take it.
20:41Made one earlier.
20:42Just missed.
20:43We have a foul on the rebound against San Sebastian.
20:46Here comes Rex Gabat.
20:48The three-pointer upon his entry.
20:51He's already feeling it.
20:54Good recognition for Pascual.
20:56He gave the ball back to Gabat.
20:59Gabat's defender was low.
21:01Here's Migs Pascual.
21:04As we see, Jello Loristo here.
21:07He makes the first.
21:08Migs Pascual is actually a very smart player.
21:11Yeah.
21:12At the point though.
21:14Very good decision maker.
21:15Knows when to take his shots.
21:17And to feed his teammates.
21:19Very high IQ to see Migs Pascual.
21:21He was actually my teammate in high school.
21:23So I know this guy really well.
21:25He plays really smart.
21:26He can shoot anywhere.
21:27The confidence of three-pointers.
21:29He can shoot that.
21:31Bagay contributes the two points.
21:33He takes a trip to the free throw line for a shot.
21:37I think he had it earlier, Prince.
21:38Offensive move.
21:39Bagay.
21:41Scoring the putback and the foul.
21:43This guy stepped up last game with 12 points.
21:45He's the second leading scorer of the EAC.
21:48And his field is 6 of 8.
21:50So he's very efficient.
21:52That's right.
21:53That's his second straight game.
21:54He's their second leading scorer.
21:56Nice.
21:58So he's on a good streak here.
22:01Pascual.
22:02Torizo.
22:04Eight seconds.
22:07They barely get there.
22:09So it's going to be an 8-second violation on Sebastian.
22:14Zubel is your teammate, Migs Pascual?
22:16Yes.
22:1740 seconds on the shot clock.
22:19For a year.
22:22So 25 to 13.
22:27JC Luciano.
22:29Denied by Rizzo.
22:31Bagay for three.
22:32Bagay knocks it down.
22:34Good, Bagay!
22:36Three!
22:37Great!
22:38Luciano is undersized and big.
22:40But he uses his body.
22:41He knows how to use his body.
22:43So the size doesn't matter to him anymore.
22:47That's right.
22:48Oh, that could be a goaltend.
22:51That's Bintol getting the offensive board.
22:54Do they call a goaltend?
22:55Yeah, I think.
22:57Let's see if this is a goaltending.
22:58It's like an underling basket.
23:00Because the board got hit.
23:03Luciano.
23:04To the body of Rizzo.
23:06Of course, Bagay on the offensive board.
23:10And that's Juke Bagay.
23:13With six points already in this game.
23:18So we won't be surprised if in the future games,
23:21Bagay will start, right?
23:23He's showing that he can perform well.
23:31This was the previous play.
23:32Drive by Maliwan.
23:33Drive by Maliwan.
23:35Oh, yeah.
23:36Could be.
23:39But the officials waved it off.
23:43Instead, it's two free throws here for Lintol.
23:46This was a different play.
23:47On the rebound.
23:48This is a follow-up.
23:50Okay, this is...
23:52Oh, yeah, that was a...
23:54That was a foul.
23:55That was a foul.
23:57If that's what you're reviewing as a goaltend.
24:00It's like a clean block.
24:01Yeah, it's clean.
24:03The risk.
24:07So EAC doubles up.
24:09One-time Sebastian.
24:12Under a minute left.
24:16Toromal.
24:18Toromal.
24:20Offensive foul.
24:22I didn't see that.
24:23Was it the off-hand prints?
24:25We can check in a bit.
24:26We can check in a bit.
24:32Actually, off-hand of Hansel.
24:37Grabbing to the shorts of Federico.
24:41Yeah, that was a bit obvious.
24:43He grabbed the shorts.
24:4935.1.
24:52High-scoring game for EAC.
24:53Oh, yeah.
24:55They're 28 points ahead in the first quarter.
24:58You have to feel good.
24:59This is what they missed out on in the fourth quarter.
25:02And it's they or you.
25:04But they shouldn't relax.
25:05That's San Sebastian.
25:06That's San Sebastian.
25:07He's chasing and chasing.
25:10Take out to the left.
25:11Training to triple.
25:13Training to the left.
25:14This is what's keeping San Sebastian alive in our first quarter.
25:18They're fourth behind.
25:19That's their shooting.
25:21Last shot now for EAC.
25:23Good flare action.
25:25Oh, there's a bit of a push there.
25:27Oh, Kinan.
25:28That was bothered.
25:30Still.
25:32Eight-tenths of a second left.
25:36I thought Kinan was going to call for a charging.
25:38He's got a lot of extension.
25:43Watch out for the lob.
25:46That's all they can do here.
25:47Luciano quick shot.
25:48Oh, Luciano makes it.
25:50Is that counted?
25:52He's got the horn very close.
25:57Let's check it.
26:01Here's the catch.
26:02Oh, yeah, it counts.
26:06Point eight left.
26:07Luciano was able to release it in time to extend their lead once more to 13 points.
26:1513 to 17.
26:17And they carry it over.
26:18That's why we're second quarter on the game.
26:20That comes up next here on Heart of Asia.
