00:00 A power tip, but this is the smarts coming from the MVP.

00:04 Now a serve coming from USC Almendrez who will answer back and that goes away from the ARDS venue.

00:11 The cheers are getting hot here inside the Mall of Asia arena.

00:18 Finding that hold in.

00:20 You know that the players are really in it because they're really thinking about every movement.

00:26 It's not just emotions that they're allowing to take control as Busbudin gets that point for NYU.

00:32 NYU now leads by two again.

00:34 Going for that long ball cross court.

00:37 The athleticism, the speed of his attack.

00:41 Finds that hold in between that long ball.

00:43 One point game again.

00:45 Serve coming from UST Almendrez going off the block.

00:52 NYU has an answer right away.

00:56 And this is the reaction that they're talking about when the UST side does something, NYU has a counter right away.

01:04 On his shoulders.

01:06 Begging to serve.

01:08 Pick up there by Van Dux going to Josh.

01:11 On the other side, Joshua going to Buds.

01:14 Off the hands of the blockers.

01:16 NYU rampaging here.

01:20 Back to a two point game.

01:21 UST playing catch up here.

01:26 Coming from floor.

01:28 Almendrez off the hands of Avila.

01:30 Dick falls here.

01:32 They do not allow UST to get on a run.

01:37 That's all because of Owe Retamar knowing who to set up.

01:41 Let's see if UST will be able to save one.

01:43 That serve coming from Almendrez.

01:45 Avila going to a back set to Delanoche.

01:49 Kept alive here by NYU.

01:51 Retamar putting it to the other side.

01:53 Avila going to Ibanez from the back row.

01:56 Oh the bump from Tanguibolos.

01:59 And set number one for NYU.

02:02 Bringing it down.

02:03 Going for that dunk.

02:06 Take a look at the defense of UST.

02:08 No one prepared for that sequence.

02:11 Only the blocker of Tron was ready.

02:14 Floor there with that serve.

02:17 Retamar going up to Almendrez.

02:19 Bopped up by Dobs.

02:21 That is going to shank away from the court.

02:24 Too much speed coming from that attack of Nico Almendrez.

02:29 You see his attack is above that block of UST.

02:33 And there's this last minute clip.

02:35 Reflection was clear.

02:36 There was no touch from the UST side of things.

02:39 Retamar will put this one up for Irengo.

02:43 Great counter attack from NYU.

02:46 Do not allow UST to gain any sort of confidence.

02:52 Keeping things real close.

02:53 This tandem so much in the UAAP.

02:56 Back to a three-point lead.

02:58 Retamar going for a combination.

03:00 That works for Boots.

03:02 Slicing that attack on Josh Ibanez.

03:05 Slashy, one in there to put it up.

03:09 But that ball was just too strong to handle.

03:13 Ducks Yambao getting a hand at scoring at that.

03:16 As Ibanez goes for that first serve.

03:18 The dunk coming from Oa showing everyone why he is the most offensive setter.

03:24 And then Buds was in the sweeper position.

03:27 Oh, that was missing in set number two.

03:31 Taguibolos going for that back wick.

03:34 You're right, Singe.

03:35 We have not seen enough of that.

03:37 The UST block a bit late as well.

03:40 One-point game. UST playing catch up here.

03:43 Retamar going up to Aingo through the blockers.

03:49 Because of Oa, Retamar switching direction in the offense.

03:54 This time going to the right pin.

03:57 The floor hasn't been getting a lot of sets yet.

03:59 That's why Peng was quite delayed on the block there.

04:02 That hit though coming from Nico Almendraz.

04:06 Take a look at this sequence here.

04:09 Almendraz with that snap of the wrist.

04:12 Finding that hole.

04:16 This is seven set points that UST is trying to play catch up with.

04:21 Oh, but NU just need and want to close it out and they do.

04:26 Here inside the arena, that one-handed set from Oa Retamar going.

04:31 This is the first six that played in the first game of the season.

04:38 It will just be interesting as to how it works here today.

04:43 However, Aingo coming in hot.

04:45 Talk about bounce ball in that sequence.

04:50 Tough. Tough.

04:54 Seems like Umamin on the other side.

04:58 NU dump ball for Oa Retamar.

05:03 Volleyball dancers are very much active on the sidelines.

05:07 Two for two on that one-two play of Oa.

05:11 Oa seems to have floor with that serve.

05:15 Retamar going up to Almendraz.

05:20 Flat ball.

05:21 Not knowing who to jump for.

05:27 Yambao now serves.

05:30 Take that by Nico.

05:37 From getting another title.

05:40 Look at that elevation coming from Aingo.

05:44 The passion.

05:47 For both sides.

05:50 Valera with that serve.

05:52 They go up to Nico Almendraz for the win.

05:57 And their fourth straight title.

06:00 And the combination of this rookie tandem in season 81 brings them their fourth straight title here in season 86.
