00:00players, Jamie Morales will be coming off the bench, sending a message to pro scouts
00:06that he is really a pro prospect. The guy who is oozing with potential,
00:12Jamie Morales, with the physical attributes that he has.
00:18Goho Cruz, his best NCAA game in the collegiate division so far.
00:24Pagaran, given to Orgo. Orgo, first shot, is up and in!
00:29Great play there of that back pick. Orgo, swinging on the other side.
00:33They know that Pagaran is the one they're looking for. But Sean Orgo,
00:36you said he improved a lot. This kid is already good. He just needed the minutes.
00:41Hey Coach Hammer, look at this. Mark Goho Cruz, tasked to defend the reigning MVP, Clint Escamez.
00:46Yeah. But the rule here is that they're in the green, which is switch everything.
00:52Because they're in the same size, and they're able to stay in front.
00:57And Mapua runs out of time on that first offensive possession.
01:01That's a good stop by the Altas.
01:04Baseline, stop screen. I thought they were going to run an elevator,
01:09but Sean Orgo opted to go around the big shoulders of Jericho Nunez.
01:16Sean Orgo, much improved. Now, the main court general.
01:20That's a thumbs up. Back pick. Ball swings, tagger screen.
01:24Watch for Orgo coming out again on that baseline stop screen.
01:27That's their play again. That's a thumbs up.
01:30Goho Cruz calling for a screen. The MVP is defending him.
01:34Abis, fakes, drives. Flutter is good.
01:38Sean Orgo wins!
01:39And as you can see, the small thing when Jericho Nunez set the screen,
01:45he sealed it. On the reversal,
01:48the defense scrambled because John Abis, one-hand floater.
01:52It's like Nelson Asaitolo of the floaters.
01:56Escamiz, spin move. Escamiz draws the foul.
01:59And that's an easy call for our referees.
02:02Tip of Nunez, Escamiz's body is already in front.
02:05He earned this victory.
02:07Here, it's not just seen, Nunez is sealed underneath.
02:10That's why when John Abis just gripped here,
02:13it's easy for him to take the shot.
02:16Definitely creating a lot of space and giving him a free lane.
02:20Abis is so big. He's like an abarador when he's around.
02:24First free throw is good for Escamiz.
02:26And his defense is not that small.
02:28Nope, Igliani is not small. He also gained weight. Good weight.
02:34Definitely playing a whole lot more minutes.
02:37A bigger role for Igliani with the departure of Bonifacio.
02:41Second free throw is good for Escamiz.
02:57Calling this one a play. Iverson screen for Pagaran.
03:01And then pinned out.
03:03Pagaran pulls up for three.
03:07Off the Iverson screen, pinned down on that one up play.
03:13Favorite of Pagaran, coming from his right side, going to the left.
03:17One, two steps. You're dead there.
03:19Before he gets it, I already know.
03:21Escamiz with a miss.
03:23Let's get the first report of Flo Del Agua. Flo, go ahead.
03:27The Mapua Cardinals learned that too much aggression is just as dangerous as not being aggressive at all.
03:35Both of their star players, Obelia and Recto, being in foul trouble last game.
03:39But they want to change that story today.
03:41Chris Obelia tells me,
03:45Having been the former silver medalist, they cannot afford another loss.
03:49He has to be extra careful.
03:51Lalo na JC Recto will not be able to play in this game.
03:53But watch out NCAA fans.
03:55Because ready to fill his role is Noel Aguemeny.
03:59Who considers this game as a big chance to prove that he is also first group material.
04:03Big shoes to fill for Aguemeny.
04:05Isn't that right, Anton and Coach Hammer?
04:07Definitely. And he is up for the task.
04:09But Perpetual leads Mapua 10-2 as we head to this timeout.
04:19Don't be afraid to receive the ball.
04:21And let's work on the ball.
04:23That's first from the line-up of the Arandel Chiefs.
04:25Martin and Martin.
04:27They're all nervous.
04:29Lysel Galpo.
04:31Just like our second party.
04:33So let's see.
04:35Arrellano should attack here.
04:37Oh, pass to Valencia.
04:39What a fadeaway.
04:41Going downhill.
04:43That one rolls out.
04:45Arrellano has a chance to inch closer.
04:49Coach Olsen and Rasela couldn't have asked for a better start in this big game against Mapua.
04:55His main options on offense are clicking.
04:59Pagaran knocking down a three.
05:01And Mark Goho Cruz showing us his brilliance.
05:03And he cancelled the ball screen.
05:05He called for a motion play.
05:07No strong side help.
05:09So he's just attacking downhill.
05:11There's no help side on the weak side.
05:13That's why it's an easy layup for Mark Goho Cruz.
05:17Bacale.
05:19Bacale to Escamiz.
05:21Escamiz makes Pagaran touch the floor.
05:23Pagaran touch the floor.
05:25Goho Cruz is long.
05:27He's the one who did the strong side help there.
05:29He challenged the shot.
05:31Orgo.
05:33Orgo accelerates.
05:35Steps on the brakes. Stop and go play.
05:37Abyss, another floater.
05:39The soft touch of Abyss is there.
05:41And the combination here is good.
05:43You can see this in the players.
05:45They just believe in the game plan.
05:47Orgo is being attacked.
05:49Two people go under.
05:51Nunez, the big guy is just on the elbow.
05:53Pressure release. One dribble floater.
05:55Cuenco.
05:57Escamiz.
05:59Cyrus gets the ball back.
06:01Oh, the pass was pretty high.
06:03Bacale has to shoot.
06:05And he converts.
06:07You can see this.
06:09Coach Jerry also noticed this.
06:11Every time, perpetual, of a defensive make or miss,
06:13they're really straight to their primary offense.
06:15Good make handoff.
06:17Nunez.
06:19Nunez.
06:21Can't finish through the contact.
06:23The ball goes back to Mapua.
06:25Here's Escamiz.
06:27Escamiz through the lane.
06:29Kubiria couldn't hold on to the basketball.
06:35This, Anton, is very basic.
06:37When you get an interior pass,
06:39the poor guy,
06:41he always says,
06:43you're on the elbow,
06:45because it's free.
06:47It's a penetration by Cuenco.
06:49The strong side pass on the corner is free.
06:5190% of the point guards
06:53should be able to make those shots.
06:5590% of the starters
06:57should be able to shoot
06:59on that corner.
07:03Edward Ryan
07:05wearing that carbon fiber
07:07mask is on the floor now
07:09for Mapua.
07:13Pagaran.
07:15Here's another three.
07:17Another one for Chris Pagaran.
07:19So again, that staggered screen.
07:21A little bit of a delay.
07:23Coming out.
07:25They want Chris Pagaran on top of the key.
07:27Because he likes that range
07:29and he can isolate
07:31and go for a single high ball
07:33screen.
07:35An early 10-point lead
07:37for the Perpetual Altas.
07:39Cyrus Cuenco,
07:41big time basket.
07:43Cuenco, they needed that.
07:47Orgo.
07:49Orgo
07:51to Pagaran.
07:53Back fake to ball screen.
07:55Goho Cruz.
07:57The scum is on him.
07:59Goho Cruz
08:01on the side.
08:03Like Coach Jerry
08:05and Daryl Yano said,
08:07they still have some remnants
08:09of those triangle plays.
08:11It depends on the wing, corner pass,
08:13back peek, or either ball screen
08:15or dribble handoff.
08:19That's the hip code influence.
08:23Awesome.
08:25I thought it was Chot Reyes
08:27and Coach Jerry,
08:29and Coach Eric Altamirano.
08:31I think it was Coach Olsen
08:33or he went to San Miguel.
08:35But I think it was Coach Chot
08:37who drafted him.
08:39Cuenco.
08:41Ryan.
08:43Stagger screen.
08:45Escamiz pops out.
08:47Escamiz inside to Ryan.
08:49Cyrus, three for three.
08:51Back to back
08:53triples for Cuenco.
08:55Good habits there.
08:57On the stagger screen case
08:59to Clint Escamiz.
09:01Ryan was surprised.
09:03Easy kick out pass.
09:05Back to back threes for Cuenco.
09:07That's the second time
09:09Nunez is unable to finish
09:11at the rim.
09:13I thought he was going to get a charging back.
09:15This is Ryan's pass.
09:17Two people joined him.
09:19Cuenco is free.
09:21Because if you're a big guy
09:23and you're the second screener,
09:25you have to slip to engage
09:27the defender of the bottom guy.
09:29That's why Cuenco is free.
09:31Good look by Ryan.
09:33Nunez gets that shot
09:35through the hoop.
09:57Even though you have a double digit lead against San Sebastian,
09:59with two minutes left
10:01in the fourth quarter,
10:03you still have the woods against him.
10:09Base line jumper too strong.
10:11Bojo Cruz.
10:15Bojo Cruz.
10:17Good pass.
10:19Look at Bojo Cruz
10:21fight for the rebound.
10:23I want to know
10:25what Bojo Cruz's standing image is.
10:29Guys like Aguimen
10:31and Jabonete will
10:33play a huge role for Mapu
10:35in terms of crashing the boards.
10:37That's what Aguimen
10:39and Jabonete
10:41play.
10:43Jabonete is good at point of attack.
10:45He knows how to read
10:47the defense and he knows
10:49how to set up his teammates.
10:51One more.
10:53On the floor.
10:55Escamiz
10:57splits the lead.
10:59Escamiz finishes at the rim.
11:09Escamiz, the number one player
11:11in terms of steals.
11:17Escamiz
11:19cuts the perpetual lead to one.
11:29Jump ball.
11:33Here it is.
11:39As expected,
11:41King Gortiza is here.
11:47Gortiza's first pass break.
11:59Clint Escamiz
12:01doing MVP things.
12:03You see him on offense
12:05and you don't see him
12:07on defense. You never see him coming
12:09because he's too fast.
12:11He's too crafty. He's too athletic.
12:13And he is on another level.
12:17Clint Escamiz
12:19he's got to
12:21give it everything he's got
12:23if Mapua is to make it back
12:25to where they were in season 99.
12:29Three minutes and 27 seconds
12:31remaining
12:33here in the first period.
12:37Perpetual had a 10-point lead
12:39already.
12:41And then Cyrus Cuenco
12:43knocked down back-to-back dribbles
12:45before Escamiz went
12:47on a 5-0 run.
12:49Turnover coming off a timeout.
12:51See Coach Olsen.
12:53Cuenco.
13:01Lawrence Manguban.
13:03Manguban.
13:07Grabs his own miss.
13:09Throws the ball back out to Ryan.
13:11Manguban.
13:13Patient. Concepcion.
13:15That was two good chances.
13:17Mapua just unable to capitalize.
13:23Cuenco.
13:27Gelsano.
13:29Giving a lot of space.
13:31Bagara.
13:33Nunez.
13:39Wild pass.
13:43Manguban tracks it down.
13:45Cyrus Cuenco says wait.
13:49Manguban won't wait.
13:51He will take
13:53that shot and make it three.
13:55Instant offense coming off the bench.
13:57You can see Lawrence Manguban
13:59broken play.
14:01Just parking himself on that
14:03corner and being found
14:05by their offense.
14:07Nunez.
14:09Bagara.
14:11Skip.
14:13Boral. Step back.
14:15JP Boral.
14:17Ooh.
14:21Foul ball
14:23by Nunez. It will be Mapua
14:25basketball.
14:27Strong side help.
14:29Let's see how many
14:31will pass
14:33perpetually.
14:35Mapua rather coming off that
14:37hard tackle.
14:39Strong side doesn't like
14:41downhill drive by Mapua's
14:43attackers.
14:45Cuenco. Escamiz.
14:47And they're forcing the outside shooters of Mapua
14:49to knock down shots.
14:51So Nunez now has to go to the bench
14:53with two personal fouls.
14:57Cuenco.
14:59Manguban again.
15:01Short that time.
15:03That's a foul on Ryan.
15:13That's a foul on Ryan.
15:15So they have to
15:17see that
15:19because they're jockeying for position.
15:25That's what you don't like
15:27if you're a big man's coach.
15:29I think Coach Richard Del Rosario
15:31will have some
15:33tips on that, on their viewing
15:35because when you're swimming,
15:37you just want the forearm to be locked.
15:39You don't want to swim there.
15:41You use your hips
15:43to push the defensive guy
15:45into the basket.
15:47Instead of using your slap fist
15:49there, it's hard to call
15:51the referee.
15:53Pizarro now on the floor.
15:55Axel Manuel.
15:57Manuel.
15:59Montemayor back to Axel.
16:03Gelsano.
16:05Manuel.
16:07Manuel.
16:09Gelsano.
16:11Wow, he got it off in time.
16:23Gelsano has improved a lot.
16:25He worked on his game.
16:27These guys already have
16:29something. They just need
16:31a longer minute.
16:33But there, he was able to catch up.
16:35That's their rule. If you observe
16:37when
16:39you're
16:41ball speed,
16:43basic lifting,
16:45there's no water zone.
16:47They're always hard tacked.
16:49Whoever is attacking
16:51downhill, they don't want to be
16:53tackled. It's really hard
16:55to get tackled.
16:57They can't stop here.
16:59Gabonete missing there.
17:03Manuel.
17:05They go down low.
17:07Detection.
17:09Pizarro, wow!
17:11That's some old school big man moves.
17:13And that's what Perpetual has.
17:15They have Pizarro,
17:17they have Nunez, Abyss
17:19for some time.
17:2320 to 18.
17:25And Gabonete ties
17:27things up.
17:31And now Perpetual will play for the last shot.
17:35Oh no, another
17:37foul away from the ball.
17:39That time, Pizarro was caught.
17:41Let's see if it's really a contact
17:43or just a miss.
17:45Direk, I hope we can see this.
17:47Because
17:49Bangabang's defense
17:51is really good.
17:53Here, on the seat.
17:55Really offensive.
17:57Good goal.
17:59That's why you always
18:01have to go straight.
18:03Go down, go back.
18:05Escamiz for the last shot.
18:07Came in just for
18:09this purpose.
18:11Escamiz!
18:13The MVP!
18:15Nothing but net
18:17at the buzzer.
18:21And he gives Mapua the lead.
18:2322
18:25to 20 at the end of one.
