00:00Having seven assists in one quarter, five of those coming from Estrada.
00:06Making things happen.
00:08For his teammates.
00:13Let's see how both teams will adjust. Axel Doramal starting this period.
00:20Third quarter.
00:23Here we go.
00:24A Villanara to Montesilio, Quahog.
00:34First possession, it really went to Deo.
00:37Yes, because the EAC sticked to the zone.
00:39And that play, normally it's done off a timeout.
00:44In this case, the start of the quarter, they set a down screen for Quahog coming from underneath to get them blindsided by that open tree on the corner.
00:55Estrada.
01:00Pocket pass intercepted.
01:03Pagsanhan.
01:05Oh, Doramal stepping on the sideline.
01:11And you can see that Doramal unable to get his rhythm.
01:18There.
01:23You see that tape on his right leg.
01:26He's been dealing with a hamstring injury pretty much the entire season.
01:32And you know that's going to be tough for a player who can really contribute to the team that they need.
01:38And that's his fourth foul.
01:40I was about to tell you earlier, during the start of this quarter, that it's very unusual for a coach to leave a player with three fouls that you need at the end to start the quarter.
01:52And in this case, EAC made them pay for it.
01:59Luciano, who did not play at all in the first half, is in for the Generals.
02:07Gurtiza.
02:10Luciano.
02:12Gurtiza.
02:14Trains the three.
02:19You know, very seldom for a player to get that look back pass.
02:24Because normally, once you go for a drive, you look at the opposite.
02:28That's what coaches usually say. When you go for a drive, you look for the opposite corner.
02:32But in this case, you can see that they all clugged in the middle.
02:35And he passed it to the same side corner.
02:38With that open Gurtiza three.
02:44So here we see Luciano.
02:48Setting up King Gurtiza.
02:52That was a good decision and a good look from him.
02:57Estrada passed it to the corner.
03:00Monje from the elbow.
03:04Ball back to EAC.
03:08Doromal.
03:11Gurtiza.
03:13Gurtiza fade away. King Gurtiza.
03:17That was a nice move.
03:19It is now a nine-point lead for the Generals as we go to Riri Khalid.
03:24Antonin Prince, in life, you get what you fight for if you are willing.
03:28That is the mantra of coach Allan Ricardo.
03:31They even wrote it on their whiteboard.
03:58He wrote it on the board.
04:00It looks like his players forgot about it.
04:03Because they are not showing any desire to try to take this game.
04:10As EAC has this eight-point advantage.
04:13And you know, I want to give credit to coach Gerson.
04:16For reading the zone defense of Letran.
04:20Making sure that they attack inside and outside.
04:23Which in that case, they are doing a very good job.
04:29Fade away by King Gurtiza.
04:36And Patsanan with that high arching triple.
04:41Good ball movement.
04:45By Letran there.
04:53Now Letran is going to be struggling.
04:56Pau Javillanor is gone.
04:59Getting his fourth foul as early as seven minutes of the third quarter.
05:05So an unsuccessful challenge by EAC.
05:10And the score is now 7-3.
05:13Letran is going to be struggling.
05:16Pau Javillanor is gone.
05:19Getting his fourth foul as early as seven minutes of the third quarter.
05:34What to do, son? Let's help yourself up.
05:47Our game continues.
05:52Estrada.
05:55Oh, three in the key.
05:59You know that's tough for Letran.
06:00They can't seem to have a break this third quarter.
06:04Earlier, EAC only had three wins.
06:07Which is now an eight-point lead.
06:14Gurtiza.
06:17Estrada with the rebound.
06:22Estrada.
06:24Step back jumper.
06:26Put back is good.
06:31Pagsanhan.
06:33Another one.
06:35Back-to-back three for Harvey Pagsanhan.
06:39Earlier, he was aggressive in attacking the lanes.
06:42Now, he's trying to look for shots from beyond the arc.
06:49And finally, Jimboy Estrada gets on the board via the three-point line.
06:55And as you can see, this is Jimboy Estrada.
06:57He's working double time on offense.
07:00He's trying to look for his shots.
07:04Gurtiza.
07:07Doromal.
07:09Thought about it.
07:11Doromal.
07:13Drapas.
07:15And that's a turnover.
07:18Montecilio.
07:20Ball to Jimboy.
07:22Estrada will head to the line.
07:25Now, we'll head to the line for the bonus.
07:30Back-to-back baskets for Jimboy Estrada.
07:32Now, with five points.
07:38All it takes is just one shot to ignite the confidence of Mr. Estrada.
07:46And Jimboy will head to the free-throw line for the bonus when we come back.
07:56What is up, NCAA?
07:58I'm Christine Sanagustin.
08:00Join me here at Mapuha University to witness their pep rally as a support to their athletes
08:05who are ready to compete in NCAA Season 100.
08:09Let's go!
08:25All right, let's take a look at the ladies here in our smile cam.
08:31From the bleachers to courtside, enjoying this matchup between EAC and Natran.
08:38Let's show them our beautiful smiles.
08:42Of course, so our players can see the support we're showing them.
08:48What about this?
08:50Five minutes and 16 seconds remaining here in the third.
08:54As Estrada will shoot this bonus free-throw.
09:01And right away, Estrada with six points.
09:05And Jimboy Estrada will head to the line for the bonus when we come back.
09:10All it takes is just one shot to ignite the confidence of Mr. Estrada.
09:14This is his bonus free-throw.
09:16And right away, Estrada with six points in this game.
09:22All here in the third.
09:25And Natran is shooting eight out of eleven free-throws with 72.7%.
09:31And that's why they're still here in the game despite the disparity from rebounds.
09:39Eleven rebounds.
09:41EAC with 38.
09:43Natran with 27.
09:45And then the extra possessions that EAC has are now up to nine.
09:51Pagsanhan.
09:53Gurtiza.
09:56Gurtiza to Harvey.
09:58Right corner three.
10:00Overshoots that one and Montecilio has the ball.
10:03Montecilio!
10:05A wild shot.
10:06King Gurtiza dodged it.
10:09I think he was given a finger whack.
10:12Gurtiza.
10:14Fading away.
10:16Montecilio!
10:18It was blocked from behind but it will stay with Natran.
10:26I think he's okay now, Anton.
10:37Three-point lead for the Generals.
10:46Estrada coming alive here in the third.
10:49Estrada.
10:51Montecilio.
10:53Inside pass.
10:55And Luna is able to score.
10:58Looks like Natran is getting the rhythm that they've been waiting for.
11:04Kinal.
11:06Oftana.
11:08And Jelo Loristo.
11:12Back in action.
11:14But again, EAC making sure that Natran knows that they can attack inside and outside.
11:22And Oftana is able to score off of that drop pass by Harvey Pagsanhan.
11:28And Coach Alan Ricardo calls a timeout.
11:30This is our league.
11:32This is our moment.
11:34So do some more.
11:36The sky is the limit.
11:45NCAA Season 100 is shaping up to be the greatest season of all time.
11:51Skamish drives.
11:53Fouled.
11:55But it wouldn't be that without the greatest performances of all time.
11:58There is an abundance of talent in the league this year.
12:01And they are putting on a show every single game.
12:06Nico Kinal bounce pass inside to Oftana.
12:09And then Jelo Loristo with the finish.
12:13Good to see he's okay despite getting hit earlier.
12:18Yes, especially when there's an opportunity.
12:23Sometimes people get knocked out by getting hit there.
12:33Gerson Cavintes and his EAC generals hoping to enter the short break with the fourth spot in the standings.
12:46Because that's what this game is about.
12:49Should EAC win, they will improve to 7-7.
12:53And if Letran loses, they will fall to 7-8.
12:59That's why this game is so important for both EAC and Letran.
13:05Earlier, prior to Coach Alan's timeout, they had a mini run.
13:10But EAC responded to their own run and I think it will continue.
13:16Oh! Estrada with a rejection on Pagsanhan.
13:20Another rejection by Jimboy.
13:23Jimboy said, Kevin doesn't matter. I'll take care of those blocks that he can't give this game.
13:30Kinal.
13:32Dunag.
13:38Estrada.
13:41Letran down by five.
13:46Montecilio.
13:49Pass intercepted.
13:52Kinal for three.
13:54Ah! Nico Kinal.
13:58Puts the EAC back up to eight. The EAC lead.
14:08Monge.
14:09Monge.
14:11Oh!
14:13A technical for flopping.
14:20That was a tough one. The ball was above the ring.
14:24It was caught.
14:32That's it. He was called for flopping.
14:35They got the warning earlier.
14:38All right. Here's the replay.
14:49I think that was a good call from our refs.
14:53The contact was very minimal.
14:56That's it.
14:58That's it.
15:00That's it.
15:02That's it.
15:04That's it.
15:05The contact was very minimal.
15:09So those two were called for flopping by the EAC.
15:18Earlier, it was Ochavo.
15:30CJ Delfino is now in for the first time for Letran Miller.
15:35Short on the floater.
15:55Anton, I have a question. What do you think of the overload offense, coach?
16:00Allen is trying to run here for Letran.
16:02He's cutting his two shooters on one side.
16:06And then his bigs, there's no movement on the post and the high post.
16:13What do you think is missing for that open set?
16:17Why can't they find open shots?
16:20That's a good one.
16:24The problem with your explanation is that you're saying the bigs weren't really moving.
16:29The bigs weren't really moving, yes.
16:31So that's a problem in itself.
16:34Yes, and if you're going to look at the bigs of Letran now, they're a bit passive.
16:38Again, with what you said earlier, maybe they forgot what was written on the board.
16:43And I think that's one of the reasons why they're not that aggressive.
16:49Ochavo puts EAC on top by 11.
16:55Wow.
16:59Oh, it's getting ugly.
17:06Goal look pass by CJ Delfino straight to the enemy.
17:13There was an adjustment on EAC's defense if you noticed it.
17:17Anton, they are now playing in man zone.
17:20Here's the three-pointer, Kinal.
17:25But Letran, I think they're back to man-to-man defense.
17:30Because EAC paid them for the three points and of course the drop passes.
17:37Kinal, three for three.
17:41De Mano with the board.
17:44De Mano with the board.
17:48Look at how they're defending Quahog.
17:51Don't think about help, don't help.
17:55Just stay with Quahog, stay with him.
17:57That's back-to-back turnovers by Delfino.
18:01Ochavo.
18:07Air ball.
18:10De Mano gets the basketball.
18:13Delfino.
18:15Miller.
18:18Miller.
18:20Cross-court pass, Delfino for three.
18:22Strong.
18:24Dunak with the butt back.
18:26Anton, do you agree with me if I tell you that Coach Gerson's defense,
18:32keep an eye on Quahog.
18:34Get him out of the enemy's offense.
18:36Let's play four-on-four.
18:38For you.
18:40Is that okay for you?
18:41Right now, yes.
18:43Without Estrada on the floor, yeah.
18:45Try to let the others beat you.
18:47That's right. Very good.
18:49You noticed that, Anton.
18:51That's what coaches usually say.
18:53If they don't have the player,
18:55who they can give the ball to create for their teammates or for themselves.
18:59Just get rid of the one who can play four-on-four.
19:01Then when you play them four-on-four,
19:03it doesn't matter if the other one can play four-on-four,
19:05as long as he can't hold the ball.
19:07And then you're going to live and die with that decision.
19:08And so far, EAC is doing a great job on that,
19:12and they've been successful.
19:14Judd is really good.
19:16He's face-guarding here.
19:18Quahog, stay home.
19:20He doesn't care about the help.
19:22Whatever you want to do, it's up to you.
19:24I'll stay here with Quahog.
19:26Miller, to Dimaano.
19:28Oh! Nowhere to go!
19:31He got trapped in the air.
19:33Dira forgot.
19:38Dimaano for the UAZ Generals.
19:43Chumawas was wide open on the left corner for three.
19:47He could have dropped the ball to his teammate.
19:50They were beside each other.
19:54Crucial place for Letran,
19:56where they should have been able to convert.
20:01So Miller giving up a foul.
20:03Letran is now one foul away from penalty.
20:09But there are only three seconds left in the third quarter.
20:22Gurtiza.
20:24Oh! He got hit!
20:27And Gurtiza apologizing to Coach Gerson.
20:31But they went on a late run towards the end of the third
20:36and entered the fourth with a nine-point lead.
