00:00Start of the second round beating Natran and San Beda.
00:04Two big fish.
00:06That's why the last three games have been tough for the team of Coach Gilbert Malabara.
00:14Barba with healthy defense by Lintol.
00:17Just there to provide friction because this is a downhill drive for Ato Barba.
00:22Barba.
00:25Are.
00:28Are to Risho.
00:29Risho.
00:32And Dailek comes up with the board.
00:34Okay to Velasco and Risho.
00:36There it is again.
00:37Two passes.
00:38Almost no rebounds.
00:39Straight.
00:40Last break points for LPU.
00:42And that is their first lead of the game.
00:44So you know, that's what Coach Gilbert values here in Ensayo.
00:48Transition baskets.
00:50And the habit of their players is to look for those guys who run in the wings.
00:57Pascual.
00:59Too strong on the triple try.
01:01And LPU is running.
01:03They're always looking ahead.
01:05Moralejo.
01:07His teammates standing up from their seats behind him.
01:10But the shot was too strong.
01:12Are.
01:13To Gabat.
01:15In and out.
01:17These big guys and San Sebastian are really funny.
01:21I mean both teams.
01:22Even though we have a habit of crashing the boards,
01:24Risho, coming from the three-point area, just getting into the lane,
01:29it would cause confusion.
01:30So if you don't get that clear, you'll get rebounded.
01:33And you have a chance to get an extra possession.
01:41Filip Rico.
01:43Driving baseline.
01:47Ten seconds on the shot clock.
01:49You know, seeing Paclod Godana do the little things.
01:52Because the expectations of him are a lights-out shooter.
01:56He would be the face of this LPU team.
01:59He is the face of this LPU team.
02:01But again, he does the little things really well.
02:05Are, from way out, that's an air ball.
02:07And we have a chance now to go back courtside to Priyanka Alejandre.
02:12Strategy, aggressiveness, fast pace, or defense?
02:15Which among these choices will we see in play today?
02:18When I ask LPU team captain Greg Gunanan,
02:21he says a strategic play is the best approach.
02:24According to him, you need to know the tendencies of the opponent,
02:27how to attack in offense, and who to defend against.
02:31In terms of stats, according to team captain DJ Salim Rico,
02:35a defensive strategy with strategic positioning might be a good fit for their team.
02:40As a leader, he said, I'll do everything I can to contribute defensively and offensively.
02:45Now, with these two methods in play, I'm sure everyone is eager to know
02:48which method shall prove effective in this basketball cup of war.
02:52Let's hear your thoughts, Anton and Coach Hammer.
02:55Well, at this point of the season, as we see this pull of J by Godana,
03:00a very strategic approach, it becomes a chess match for all the teams
03:07because they've already been scouted, and every game and every possession is all the more important.
03:12You know Anton, now that seeing, scouting, being involved in a war room,
03:19everyone can see you.
03:21At the end of the day, it's all about effort.
03:23Effort of the players to follow the game plan,
03:26effort of the players to do what they're asked to be doing in games.
03:33Coaches can see all of that, especially now that we're in the second round.
03:36There's nothing to hide.
03:40Arre.
03:43Another offensive rebound for San Sebastian.
03:46Risho, blocked.
03:49Risho's rise is soft.
03:51In NC, you can't hit a floater when you're in a shaded area.
03:54You really need to carry it.
03:57So, Arre will take a seat.
04:01Here's that pull-up by Macleod Guadagna.
04:08Pac's hustle is amazing as he finds Panelo for the finish.
04:13When you look at it, you expect Macleod Guadagna to be a six-corner.
04:17We're in high school, that's the expectation, right?
04:19But he provides a lot of other things.
04:23But he provides a lot of other things.
04:26The little things that coaches love to see.
04:29He's also an effort player.
04:32Macleod's coaches are lucky with the way that he's playing.
04:42Tough pull-up.
04:54Alright, we have a timeout with 6 minutes and 41 seconds remaining.
04:59LPU is now on top by 3.
05:07NCAA and GMA were able to reunite in 2020
05:11due to the COVID-19 pandemic
05:13when all face-to-face events were banned.
05:16But if other leagues canceled their seasons,
05:20NCAA Season 96, Rise of Stronger, was still held.
05:24Almost all sports events were held online,
05:27including the opening ceremony.
05:30There was also a virtual chess and taekwondo tournament
05:33and a live basketball and volleyball skills challenge
05:36that was still followed by health protocols.
05:39We've got more of the ladies here on our Smile Camp.
05:45Makeup on, hair done.
05:48And of course, the most important thing, the smiles.
05:54And why are you not smiling, Coach Herman?
05:56I am, I'm a very happy man.
05:59I'm a very happy man.
06:02I'm just taking a sip of my coffee.
06:05Enjoying.
06:07Trying the action.
06:08Because I need to have a lot of energy when Coach Sebastian is playing.
06:12And LPU as well.
06:13LPU as well.
06:15And you know, with the way Season 100 is being played
06:22and the parity of teams,
06:23it's just right that you don't know who's going to make it to the Final Four.
06:29There are two slots left for grabs.
06:31Although this week, someone will definitely be eliminated.
06:35Yes.
06:36In this game.
06:37I think if Coach Sebastian doesn't take care of business,
06:42they will be the first team out.
06:43But they are very hard to out.
06:46So we had two postponements of game days.
06:51So that means there will still be two more full weeks of NCAA Basketball.
06:55That's on the 15th and the 16th, if I'm not mistaken.
06:59Oh, what a pass.
07:00But Manelo,
07:02he didn't pass it well.
07:03Kaduyak took the ball swing.
07:05Villegas on the drive.
07:07And Ritz Villegas finishes at the heart of the defense.
07:11And a tough finish by Ritz Villegas.
07:15There are building blocks in the LP.
07:16It's only the second year of Ritz Villegas.
07:18Peña Fiel also on his, I think, third year.
07:21And these two guys will be really exciting.
07:26Wow!
07:27He took off from close to the free throw line.
07:31You know, Peña Fiel is a bit erratic.
07:39He doesn't know how to play yet.
07:41How to change gears.
07:42He only has one gear.
07:44Once he gets the hang of it,
07:46it's like a new car.
07:47Once he gets it, how will he drive it?
07:50It's hard to watch him because he also has a big wing.
07:53Pelebrico, there's the pass.
07:56The basket is good.
07:58For Cruz.
08:10Ritz Villegas.
08:12And then, look at this takeoff.
08:15It's just Gord, bro.
08:16Gord, these two guys will play.
08:18Villegas and...
08:21Trapaza.
08:22Pelebrico finding Cruz.
08:27San Sebastian fighting for their lives here.
08:30Baroga.
08:31Extra pass.
08:32It's back to Baroga.
08:34Awkward looking shot, but it doesn't matter.
08:37It went in.
08:38It doesn't matter how it looks.
08:40The only thing that matters
08:42is if it goes in.
08:50Kaduyak
08:51will try to respond.
08:54Oh, Panelo working hard on the boards.
08:58And length.
08:59For Panelo.
09:01Tapping it to himself and then finishing
09:04in front of three defenders.
09:09TJ
09:10taking the handoff.
09:13And Pelebrico.
09:15Now, that's what you call a
09:17strategic decision.
09:19Knowing that Villegas,
09:21the much smaller defender,
09:23was right in front of him.
09:24And here's Baroga's shot.
09:29This is the offensive rebound by Panelo.
09:31There are four self-touched players
09:33surrounding him.
09:35And TJ Pelebrico on the other side
09:37going downhill.
09:38And then when he saw Villegas
09:40in front of him,
09:41he knocked him down.
09:46San Sebastian cuts the lead to one.
09:48Pretty reverse.
09:49You're not allowed to turn around.
09:51You know that they're looking for
09:53a transition look.
09:55Talking about LPU.
09:57Ten to four.
10:01Baroga throws it out.
10:03Pelebrico
10:05for three.
10:06TJ Pelebrico.
10:10And immediately,
10:12as the shot went down,
10:14the whistle was blown.
10:16Pretty finish
10:18by Renz Villegas.
10:20I was pushed down
10:22by Baroga.
10:24He was knocked down.
10:26Baroga's body is still
10:28a bit tense.
10:30He's still reacting when he's knocked down.
10:32You shouldn't be offended when you're knocked down.
10:35Wow!
10:36Renz Villegas
10:38with a rondo.
10:40Or should I say, the Trae Young.
10:42It's the Trae Young now.
10:44Any time of the day.
10:46He's the OG.
10:58Baroga again
11:00with that jumper.
11:02Villegas is leaking out.
11:04Catch me if you can.
11:06Three layups here
11:08for Villegas.
11:10A transition layup
11:12by Penafiel.
11:14Eight points in the quarter.
11:16Renz Villegas nine in total.
11:18Pelebrico lets it fly.
11:20A little bit short.
11:22Kunanan is always
11:24looking up ahead.
11:28Simon.
11:30Wow! Another daredevil
11:32drive by Simon Penafiel.
11:34This is the weakness of the defense
11:36of San Sebastian.
11:38If you're a team with a lot of attackers
11:40you see that ball fake
11:42by Renz Villegas.
11:44And just finishing
11:46right at the rim.
11:48Little big
11:50heart LPU
11:52on top by four.
11:54Do you know
11:56that there are also
11:58superstars who studied
12:00at NCAA schools?
12:02Some of them are Yasser Marta
12:04who became San Sebastian's team
12:06before moving to LPU.
12:08Anthony Rosaldo is from
12:10Arellano and Rocco Nasino
12:12who became Mr. Mapua.
12:14The Perpetualites are Kailin Alcantara
12:16and Shaira Diaz while
12:18Tubong St. Benilde is El Villanueva
12:20and David Licauco.
12:24They'll play later
12:26but here are
12:28the JRU
12:30the Resilience
12:32are here very early.
12:34Time check, it's still the morning.
12:36Yup.
12:38Just fighting.
12:40They've been here all day.
12:46More JRU students.
12:50Hey look at that fashion statement
12:52by a young lady in the middle
12:54with a band-aid on her nose.
12:56I'll ask her
12:58for you.
13:00I'm not sure if that's a pimple patch or
13:02I don't know
13:04a blackhead remover maybe?
13:06But it's the most stylish
13:08blackhead remover if ever because it's pink.
13:10What's a blackhead remover?
13:14I can't do that, bro.
13:16It's just soap and water.
13:18Bro, it's just soap and water.
13:20It's just soap and water.
13:22It's just soap and water.
13:24It's just soap and water.
13:26It's just soap and water.
13:28We're warriors.
13:30We eat with our hands.
13:32We're warriors.
13:34We eat with our hands.
13:36For those who are watching
13:38while enjoying their lunch.
13:40This is really a food fight.
13:42You'll get a lot of food
13:44if you watch a fight like this.
13:46It's time for lunch.
13:48Look at these players
13:50jump up for the basketball.
13:52Actually, San Sebastian
13:54has very good guards.
13:56What they lack is a rim protector.
13:58I'll go back to my point earlier.
14:00The weakness of the defense of San Sebastian
14:02is their rim protection.
14:04They don't have a shot blocker for them
14:06that can plug in
14:08in the middle.
14:10They have a lineup.
14:12He's playing with three or four guards.
14:14Paroga is a small forward
14:16as a forward guy.
14:18Offensively, they can move the ball
14:20and they can get baskets.
14:28Let's take a look at this one more time.
14:30Maliwat, double crossover.
14:32Shovel pass.
14:34TJ Ferebringo
14:36protecting the basketball
14:38with his offhand.
14:40That's just veteran sports
14:42by TJ.
14:44Experience.
14:56His name all over the place
14:58on the stat sheet.
15:00Doing everything.
15:02TJ Ferebringo.
15:08Barba.
15:10Barba.
15:16Ball will stay.
15:18That's a foul on Paroga.
15:36Villegas.
15:38Montano, all alone.
15:40Paroga snatches
15:42the ball from the air.
15:44Paroga is a good player
15:46but he is really light.
15:48When he gets hit by a contact,
15:50he reacts. He's still young.
15:52These three big guys are still young.
15:54Paroga, Risho,
15:56and Velasco.
15:58That's why they're foul-prone.
16:00But when they get a rep,
16:02they can use a rim protector
16:04because they're still a small forward.
16:08Maliwat.
16:10Escobedo.
16:12Short from the corner.
16:14Balikang bola sa LPU.
16:16Barba.
16:18Villegas from the corner.
16:20And Renz Villegas
16:22wins!
16:2414 points.
16:2612 points.
16:2811 in the quarter for Renz Villegas.
16:30And four of those
16:32penetrations.
16:34And that was the first three-pointer
16:36of LPU in this game
16:38after nine misses.
16:40LPU on top.
16:44Flat jumper.
16:46And the ball will go back
16:48to the Pirates.
16:52Let's see how
16:54LPU will manage the clock here
16:56because...
16:58Wow!
17:00San Sebastian caught rapid.
17:02And
17:04it was read here
17:06in Coach Gilbert's scouting
17:08that San Sebastian's
17:10transition defense is a bit weak.
17:12But let's see.
17:14Fast break points for
17:16LPU later.
17:18That's high because they have so many
17:20transition baskets.
17:24Let's see.
17:26Let's review our stats here.
17:28Fast break points.
17:3016 points.
17:32As of the moment for LPU.
17:34Make that 16 points.
17:3616 out of
17:38the 40.
17:40That's 40% of their production
17:42coming off transition baskets.
17:44That's what we saw.
17:46That's what gave LPU the lead.
17:48Escobedo for three.
17:50Two-stroke.
17:54Ball bounces out.
17:56And that concludes the first half
17:58and the LPU
18:00Pirates coming alive
18:04as they lead San Sebastian
18:0640-33
18:08at the half.
