SportsTranscript
00:00Especially Quao. I think he wants Quao to lead the offense here at the start of our game.
00:09First possession, first shot for Argente. There's a reason why he is starting today for JRU.
00:19Could be live and die by the three situation right here. Jumawas has the ball.
00:27Jumawas! Wow!
00:30That's a strong move there by Jumawas, attacking the big on the ball screen.
00:38Not the guy you expect to take the first shot, but Letran will take it.
00:44And how about that? Joshua Guilla with a three. We don't see that a lot.
00:51It's a very unusual start here in our game.
00:54Jumawas, offensive minded. Wow! Unusual is the right word, but a welcome development for Letran.
01:09Exactly. Jumawas with that slow step to evade his screen to get that two points.
01:15Guillaume. That's a great defense by Letran.
01:29Joshua Guillaume right here. That was only his fifth triple of the season.
01:35Even with that, you said the ups and downs will grow.
01:40And obviously Guillaume is still growing, still learning.
01:45Alright. I mentioned earlier that MG was able to speak to the two coaches.
01:50MG, what did the coaches tell you?
01:53They might have stumbled, but they are definitely not the Letran Knights or coming off a recent win.
01:59As emphasized by Coach Allan Ricardo, no drama at pure hard basketball.
02:04It will be difficult to keep their momentum going.
02:07Meanwhile, for the Heavy Bombers who are still trying to find their rhythm.
02:10They have been working hard on their defense and offense strategies,
02:15hoping that these adjustments will give them an edge in today's matchup.
02:18So can the Knights pick up another win or will the Heavy Bombers turn things around for an upset?
02:23Back to you, Antonio JV.
02:25Thank you very much, MG. That is indeed the story here for this matchup right here.
02:32Oh, Guillaume.
02:34That's a very basic move for Joshua.
02:37Guillaume is very consistent. We saw his outside shooting.
02:41Now, he's showing us an offensive rebound and that spin.
02:44You can see the chicken wing there.
02:46A very veteran move by Guillaume.
02:49That's the generic name of the referee, right?
02:52That he has a chicken wing.
02:54But that's what we call a gulang.
03:02And Guillaume completes the three-point play.
03:07So all six points here are coming from Joshua Guillaume for the JRU.
03:17Pass intended for Javidenar was deflected.
03:20Look at Guillaume running.
03:22Oh!
03:24The ball was dropped, but Guillaume is there for the undergo stab.
03:28Guillaume is there for the undergo stab.
03:31Eight straight points for Guillaume to start this ballgame.
03:40Jumawas misfiring. Guillaume gets the rebound.
03:47Ramos.
03:54De Leon to Ramos.
03:59Argente.
04:01Montesillo gets the rebound, but the ball stays here at JRU.
04:11We will take a break.
04:13The score is 8-4 in favor of JRU.
04:28Together.
04:30Together.
04:32We own the future.
04:34This is a league.
04:36This is a moment.
04:38The NCAA and GMA joined forces in 2020
04:42in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic
04:44when all face-to-face events were banned.
04:47But if other leagues canceled their seasons,
04:51NCAA Season 96, Rise Up Stronger, continued.
04:55Off the lead.
04:56We can do this.
04:58We can do this.
05:00We can do this.
05:02We own the future.
05:20Six seconds on the shot clock.
05:23Six seconds.
05:27Dea Quahog coming off a career-high 34 points for Letran
05:34in a season-saving win.
05:38And they will try to get another one today.
05:43Guillaume missing on the drive.
05:45The ball goes back to the Letranistas.
05:47Quahog.
05:49Oh, what a pass.
05:51Jumawas is extra aggressive today, JV.
05:54Jumawas' energy today.
05:56That was a great pass by Quahog.
05:59But this ballgame.
06:01Over three minutes.
06:03Only Guillaume and Jumawas scoring this ballgame.
06:07Two players.
06:0940 seconds on the shot clock.
06:11I think James Jumawas is making the most out of his time
06:15because he knows that if Jimboy Estrada scores,
06:18there's a chance that his minute will drop dramatically.
06:22Yes, especially Jimboy Estrada getting all the minutes.
06:28And that's why here he goes again.
06:31Jumawas throwing a foul and a smiling Jimboy Estrada on the bench.
06:38He said, Coach Allen, let me extend my minutes.
06:41Offensive rebound.
06:43Two free throws for you.
06:52Two free throws for James Jumawas.
06:55Kevin Santos checking into the game now for the Letranistas.
07:06Missing on the first free throw though.
07:16I think Kevin Santos will be a big problem for this JRU.
07:20Height difference and athleticism.
07:27Kevin Santos has had several monster performances this season for Letran.
07:35And you're right in terms of the physicality and the wingspan.
07:42It's very hard to match up against him.
07:44There's Coach Luis Gonzalez and assistant coach Mixon Ramos.
07:57Mosqueda.
08:00De Leon.
08:03Argente.
08:06Guilla up on the step.
08:08Wow, what a move there.
08:14Guilla's game continues to evolve.
08:17Argente.
08:19Step back.
08:22Santos taps it to a teammate.
08:24That's great defense.
08:26The pressure of the Letran Knights is great.
08:32Santos.
08:34And that's a foul on Joshua.
08:38Kevin Santos has been entered.
08:40That's his second foul.
08:42Guilla.
08:44Too aggressive.
08:46Joshua Guilla.
08:48Mosqueda is signaling.
08:50We need you.
08:53The other guy who scored 30 points.
08:56Jimbo Estrada.
09:02Patrick Ramos is on Jimbo.
09:09Estrada.
09:12Montecilio for three.
09:16That's all met by Montecilio.
09:18A good pass by Jimbo Estrada.
09:21Here's Jair switching and helping, collapsing when Jimbo has the ball.
09:25Coach Alan Ricardo just exchanging some pleasantries there with our officials.
09:30Trying to clarify things.
09:34Coach Alan is already knocking.
09:37He thought it was outside.
09:43That's a foul.
09:45That's a foul.
09:47That's a foul.
09:49That's a foul.
09:51That's a foul.
09:53That's a foul.
09:55That's a foul.
10:02Mosqueda.
10:05Guilla.
10:07Contra Santos. Guilla.
10:09Wow. Multiple fakes.
10:11Guilla's footwork is beautiful.
10:19If you're really undersized as a pig, you've got to be creative.
10:22You can see his footwork evading Kevin Santos with that step through.
10:38Joseph Lunak.
10:40Coming in for Charles Di Mano.
10:43So Lunak coming in for Di Mano.
10:45Fourteen seconds on the shot clock.
10:53Ramos.
10:56Ramos.
10:58Good shot fake.
11:00Patrick Ramos.
11:02Patient. Here's Ramos on that catch.
11:04He waited for Jimbo to come up with the one-step to his three-point shot.
11:11And De Leon will go all the way.
11:14Finishing on the fast break.
11:16A welcome side to the offensive side of JRU.
11:19Not only Guilla scoring, we have a couple of players also for them to have options.
11:28Guajau.
11:31Estrada.
11:33Oh, Estrada.
11:35Just a little bit too strong off the glass.
11:39Guajau has to shoot.
11:43And a whistle was blown.
11:45Montecillo was blown.
11:49They almost had a shot clock violation there.
11:52Montecillo not aware of the shot clock.
11:56There's that nice fake by Patrick Ramos.
12:00Draining the pull of Jay.
12:02Now JRU is in the penalty, JV.
12:05With still four minutes and eleven seconds here in the first.
12:09That's two fouls coming from Joshua Guilla.
12:13Being too aggressive, JRU.
12:16Of course, we welcome the pressure on the defensive side.
12:20They got to be smart about it.
12:34Luna taking his time.
12:39Misses on the second free throw.
12:42Oh, baseline spin.
12:52A little bit too strong off the glass, but we can see it.
12:56Dejesus is really going for it.
12:59It's not just Dejesus.
13:01It's like all the bigs are going for Kevin Santos.
13:04When they see him, they attack him.
13:06But they just couldn't finish.
13:07But they just couldn't finish.
13:12Ramos.
13:14Oh, Ramos back to back jumpers.
13:16Nice baseline play by JRU.
13:19Wow, on the drive, missing.
13:27In and out on that runner.
13:32Oh, Santos.
13:34Looks like he's going for a foul here.
13:38We can see JRU's energy on the defense to offense.
13:43We can see it here.
13:47Foul.
13:49Kevin Santos.
13:52I didn't see much there.
13:55Kevin probably saw a little push.
14:085.8 for the heavy bombers.
14:10Knockout play.
14:12Now that's a foul right there.
14:14That's a back to back foul here by Kevin Santos.
14:17Another great baseline play here by JRU.
14:21Executing perfectly.
14:27Kevin was able to jump.
14:29Very clear.
14:32That's a foul on Santos.
14:33Now I don't see Coach Allen sending a big man to sub in for Kevin.
14:43Kevin has to be careful in this kind of situation.
14:48Because we still have 3 minutes and 36 seconds here in the first quarter.
14:56I was scared for Kevin.
14:58Yes, me too.
14:59Obviously, those who are watching the letruns are also scared.
15:03They think Kevin is going to foul again.
15:05Even Kevin is surprised.
15:08First round, MJ Raymundo.
15:12And as a big man, when you feel a guy who's smaller swiping at you,
15:18the tendency is you might swing your arms.
15:21Yes, it's a reflex.
15:22Swing your arms.
15:29Kevin.
15:32Seems like a sleeping giant as of this point.
15:36Missing on the first free throw.
15:38And that was a very sharp shot from the free throw line.
15:42Normally, he has more arc on his shot.
15:49There you go. Kevin gets on the board.
15:52He's thinking too much about his foul situation.
15:58Let's see if they will try to attack Kevin Santos to get that third foul.
16:08But as you said, Coach Allen is looking for another big man to sub in for Kevin.
16:13As we can see here, the letrun went for a 1-2-2.
16:17As we can see here, it looks like they went for a 2-3.
16:20To compensate for Kevin's foul trouble.
16:25Free throw.
16:27Raymundo drains the jumper.
16:29Wow, JRU's perimeter shooting has been stellar today.
16:33Wow, Anton. That's the third time for their baseline play.
16:37They always get points.
16:41And I thought the mid-range game was a lost art.
16:44Estrada.
16:46Straight to the rack.
16:47Jimbo has a lot of mid-ranges.
16:50Attacking the basket.
16:52Shooting that perimeter shot.
16:55Ooh.
16:57Wow, Barrera has another one.
17:00JRU is up by six now.
17:09Many of the student-athletes of the NCAA continue to play in professional basketball leagues.
17:14And there are also athletes who become basketball legends.
17:19Some of the past and future basketball legends of the NCAA are
17:24Kaloy Loizaga, Lauro Mumar, and Freddie Webb.
17:27Followed by Atoy Ko, Phillip Cesar, Virgel Meneses, Alvin Patrimonio, and Samboy Lim.
17:34Also include Rommel Aducu.
17:44We can do this!
17:46Own the future!
17:51Ooh.
18:10Here's that nice move by Jimbo Estrada.
18:14Finishing with the left hand.
18:16But here's the baseline jumper by Barrera.
18:25So the perimeter points, the perimeter shooting of JRU is
18:30the reason why they're ahead right now.
18:34At the same time, the defense is really stepping up.
18:46So both teams are on penalty.
18:54So Jace Miller, who had an impressive NCAA debut against JRU,
19:00heading to the line here, drains the first free throw.
19:16Two for two, for Miller.
19:34Bernardo.
19:36Then on the shot clock.
19:38Oh, libre all alone from the corner.
19:41Barrera unable to capitalize.
19:44The three-pointer by Letran.
19:47It's like the Letran Knights are separated.
19:50Either two-three, one-two-two zone.
19:53Miller.
19:55Misfiring.
19:57Good drop by Raimundo, boxing out Kevin Santos.
20:02Bernardo.
20:04Oh, that's an offensive foul.
20:07Smart play there by Miller.
20:10He's really putting pressure on him.
20:13Good drive there for the offensive foul.
20:19That's good balance and anticipation by Jace Miller.
20:23Oh!
20:24Oh!
20:32Warning on the JRU Heavy Bombers for improper bench decorum.
20:41Warning here on JRU for improper bench decorum.
20:46This is just the first quarter.
20:49Intense.
20:51Coach Luis Gonzalez is already standing.
20:55And now Miller is called for an offensive foul here.
21:00Yeah.
21:02Defensive foul.
21:04Holding foul on number two, Jace Miller.
21:07Penalty.
21:09First foul on offensive foul on number two, Jace Miller.
21:16Fourteen seconds on the shot clock.
21:19That puts Letran at the penalty.
21:22Raimundo.
21:24Another one.
21:26Wow!
21:28But you can see, Anton, these JRU shots, it's always open.
21:33A lot of miscommunication here in the zone defense that Letran is doing.
21:39JRU has thirteen points from the perimeter.
21:44Thirteen out of JRU's seven points.
21:47Thirteen from the perimeter.
21:49Thirteen out of JRU's twenty points are where perimeter jumpers.
21:54Wow!
21:56So that's what they're giving.
21:58It's open for JRU.
22:00Another open shot for Raimundo.
22:10And Letran not really able to capitalize on the foul trouble of JRU.
22:15Two free throws for Jim Boyd.
22:18Five out of eight from the free throw line are the Knights so far.
22:22But still, they're really getting into the line, these Letran Knights.
22:30First free throw is good for Jim Boyd.
22:46Two for two.
22:49Four point lead for the heavy bombers.
23:03And look at the passing.
23:10Another perimeter shot. This is unbelievable.
23:13JRU is playing really well, especially Barrera.
23:18Passing with another open shot.
23:21Offensive rebound and open shot for JRU.
23:24And this is the answer of Jim Boyd Estrada.
23:31Fifteen points from the perimeter.
23:44Three point play completed by Jim Boyd Estrada.
23:53As you can see here, Coach Allen changing his defensive scheme.
23:58Going to full court, man to man again.
24:04Bernardo.
24:05And that's going to be a foul on Luna.
24:09This is the bigs of JRU.
24:11Very aggressive in our game.
24:14Look at that drop step.
24:16The patience to go up in the paint.
24:20That's what we know about JRU.
24:23And that's what we know about JRU.
24:26And that's what we know about JRU.
24:29And that's what we know about JRU.
24:32And that's what we know about JRU.
24:36It's a good way to use his body, Sarmiento.
24:42He doesn't have the size of a Bismarck Lina or a JL Capulong.
24:47But the moves that he has are very similar to what those guys have.
24:52Oh, exactly.
24:54But you can see here, Sarmiento, Guilla, they're all undersized.
24:59Especially matching up here with the bigs of NCA.
25:01So they really need to be, if not more physical, just be more creative on their footwork.
25:14Sarmiento drains the free throws.
25:18Miller, swarmed.
25:20Estrada.
25:22Gets it across the half court line.
25:24Javillanar.
25:26Javillanar, too strong off the glass.
25:32Barrera.
25:34And Barrera will finish plus the foul.
25:37Look at that. Barrera displaying his best game.
25:41Probably one of his best games. Best start in our game.
25:45That spin move and that end one finish.
25:51Barrera showing us the complete package.
25:54He's got the perimeter shots.
25:56And now showing us the speed and the spin move
25:59to finish on the fast break.
26:03Six points, three out of five. This is Mark Barrera.
26:11And wow, JRU earning another possession here.
26:1640 seconds on the clock.
26:18They've just been more out-hustled.
26:20This let-run here in our first quarter by JRU.
26:30Lozano.
26:32Wow, what passing by the heavy bombers.
26:35Look at that. An all-you-play. Almost an all-you-play.
26:38But it didn't convert.
26:40You can see the pass inside.
26:42Push shot.
26:44And Javillanar just outsmarting Sarmiento there.
26:50He was tiptoeing close to the baseline.
26:54Lozano was, and then he finds the open Sarmiento.
26:57Those are just great sets.
27:00The way they place the sideline, baseline.
27:03They all get something from it, JRU.
27:08Javillanar missing on his first free throw.
27:11Letran.
27:13Not shooting well from the free throw line.
27:16Just 50 percent.
27:18Actually, 8 out of 12 now.
27:26Let's hear it for Quahog.
27:29Let's hear it for Quahog.
27:31Going to the bench, finally.
27:33Long minutes here to start this ballgame for Quahog.
27:42That's why Quahog hasn't shot yet.
27:440 for 4 today.
27:47Another free throw.
27:51Lozano just short on that shot.
27:53Estrada.
27:54It was hit from behind.
27:59JRU is just very in tune with everybody on the floor.
28:03Their set is so good.
28:05It's just always open shots for JRU.
28:10JRU in this quarter is playing with their season on the line.
28:18Miller.
28:20Estrada.
28:22Sorry miss there for Estrada.
28:24But he will try to earn those points from the free throw line.
28:31It's been the free throw story for Letran.
28:35Converting free throws straight pass there.
28:44Letran as a team, 10 out of 14 now.
28:48From the free throw line.
28:51Already 10 made free throws JV.
28:5414 free throws given to Letran.
28:58It's only the first quarter.
29:07JRU got into foul trouble early.
29:10Still over 4 minutes when JRU got into foul trouble.
29:14When they got into penalty.
29:15Penalty.
29:20Argente.
29:22There's still time.
29:24Argente.
29:26Misfires.
29:29Oh wow.
29:31There's still time.
29:33And it will be JRU ball.
29:35Look at that.
29:37From backcourt to JRU.
29:39Argente.
29:41Banana cutting that inbound pass.
29:43Letran.
29:50Barrera.
29:52Quick release and that will do it.
29:55For the first quarter, JRU beat Letran 28-22 behind their hot perimeter shooting.
