00:00First, after bagging another championship.
00:08Thank you very much for tuning in to Heart of Asia,
00:10Anton Ross together with Christiana DiBona
00:13and of course, of course, I'll be up here in Canada.
00:18Bernal from the elbow.
00:21Oh, D-back Bogota snatches the ball away from Esmeralda.
00:25DiBona!
00:28The energy he got coming from that steal and the fast break layup
00:33continues until now in the second quarter.
00:39Wow, the Miller.
00:41Miller, able to draw a foul.
00:48His split-second decision to dig the layup.
00:51He was afraid to look at Estrada before he tried to layup
00:54because he knew that he was already attracted to a foul.
00:56Here are your free throws for Jace Miller.
00:5919 years old.
01:02Born in Corpus Christi, Texas.
01:19Interesting what he wrote here in his profile, Christiana.
01:23If he's not a player, what would he be?
01:26Commentator.
01:29Oh, I get it. Analyst, maybe.
01:31He's a point guard, he's a smart point guard
01:33with a high basketball IQ, very composed.
01:36I can very much see him doing this.
01:43Pretty sure one of these days we will get a chance to interview him
01:47and hear him speak.
01:50Very nice to flick the brains of a 19-year-old.
01:56Santos.
02:01Santos, still looking a little bit cold.
02:05And he fouls her now.
02:19Ernest Jeronimo coming in for the piece.
02:23Charles Dimano coming in for the loose.
02:26So Charles Dimano comes in for Kevin Santos.
02:50High scoring of this game.
02:54Arellano came from scoring just 16 and 17.
02:5816 to 17 in the first quarter, and now they're at 28.
03:03Ernie Jeronimo is in the game for Arellano.
03:08Miller.
03:12Miller.
03:13Blocked.
03:14Jeronimo.
03:16Loses control, but recovers.
03:20Virgie Jeronimo with the finish.
03:24Free to complete that pass break opportunity for Arellano.
03:31Estrada.
03:33And that's happening, Jimbo Estrada.
03:36Let's go now to Riri Khalid for another report for Portside.
03:39Anton and Christiana earlier, I kept asking our players,
03:44and when I asked them if they could describe their Season 1 handle,
03:48what is this?
03:50For Electra Knights point guard, Jace Miller,
03:53rags to riches, Rod Wave, Fitlil, Baby Rao.
03:56Because according to him, his first two games, he's already a rollercoaster.
04:00So we expect your contribution to help build their momentum.
04:04And for Arellano, she's a small forward,
04:07Sy Heneral.
04:09Seeming by Janela.
04:11Because according to him, NCAA is not aging,
04:14and as time goes by, it's getting better,
04:17and the supporters are increasing.
04:19That's first from Portside.
04:21Anton and Christiana.
04:23Talk about the contrast of song preferences, Christiana.
04:28And then rags to riches, and then seeming.
04:31And then rags to riches, and then seeming.
04:34You're the one singing salamanca, is that your song?
04:39It's so different.
04:42Oh no.
04:44Oh no, we have a player on the floor right now.
04:47Actually, two players on the floor.
04:55Oh no, this is not a good sign.
04:57This is not a good sign.
04:59Renzo Aviera holding on to his left ankle.
05:04Timah Congota is not giving up on any rebounds.
05:07He's a hustle player.
05:09So I hope...
05:28So Aviera has played 5 minutes and 38 seconds in this game.
05:33Let's see what will happen.
05:37Congota goes up.
05:51So what do you think?
05:54So...
05:56There's no...
05:58Oh actually, sorry, it's Hernal.
06:05And that's not good because Hernal has played well in this game.
06:106 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, and 1 steal.
06:16So Cyril Hernal will head to the locker room.
06:23That's painful for him.
06:30So now, Basti Valencia is coming back.
06:44Congota.
06:47Jeronimo.
06:54Vinoya knocks down the 3.
07:09Estrada.
07:12Oh!
07:14Estrada, nearly another turnover.
07:20Wow!
07:22That's a big boy move by Pauja Villanar.
07:28That's just experience for you.
07:41Vinoya.
07:43Another triple.
07:45Back to back.
07:47For Maverick Vinoya.
07:52Miller.
07:56Back out to Jimbo and Estrada.
08:00Estrada.
08:04Another turnover.
08:07Congotan.
08:09Vinoya.
08:12Not that time.
08:14T-Mac Congotan.
08:16With a putback.
08:18This 3, no problem.
08:19Congotan is a hustle player.
08:28The biggest lead of the game for Arellano.
08:31A double digit advantage.
08:33Timeout Arellano Chiefs.
08:35Coach Chico Manabat calls a timeout.
08:38Gobi Mone coming in for the night.
08:42Anthony Bunabe.
08:44More pressure.
08:46This team is known for their defense.
08:49Brian Zahonja.
08:51His first shot.
08:53As a son better red lion in the NCAA.
08:57The best shooting 3 point team in the NCAA.
09:02Zahonja.
09:04Baseline drive.
09:06Short.
09:08Zahonja.
09:10Wow!
09:13I think I've seen that move before.
09:20Maverick Vinoya.
09:22Back to back triples.
09:24For Arellano.
09:26But he felt the weight of Paulo Javillonar.
09:30On that back down.
09:32Vinoya and Javillonar, they're both modern bigs.
09:35They pop up on the ball screen.
09:37There's an outside shooting.
09:39With a heat check.
09:45I think Javillonar is not just a modern big.
09:48Both? A mix of both?
09:50Sometimes.
09:52The physicality of Paulo Javillonar.
09:54Very old school.
09:56Very old school.
09:58But he sometimes pops up.
10:00Pops out of the ball screen.
10:02Actually.
10:04Paulo's outside shot improved.
10:06There's a follow through.
10:08Because last season.
10:10That was three times from the 3.9.
10:12The whole season?
10:14The whole season.
10:15The whole season.
10:17One for three.
10:19That's why when I saw the follow through.
10:21I said, wow.
10:23This worked out.
10:25Yes.
10:27I always see him in detail locality.
10:29Skills work.
10:31That's a skills working program.
10:33So imagine.
10:35Christiana from a guy who was one for three.
10:37The whole season.
10:39In 14 games that he played in season 99.
10:41Now.
10:43First shot.
10:45First.
10:47What I can say is.
10:49Good job in the skills workout.
10:51That's his workout.
10:53When I see him.
10:55I always expected when I see him.
10:57That this is a big man workout.
10:59But for sure in that half court set.
11:01In that half court.
11:03His work was 3 point shooting.
11:05Because now he improved.
11:07Biggest lead of the game now at 12.
11:09After that.
11:11One handed jump hook.
11:13By JL Capullo.
11:16Number 3 Ernest Saronico.
11:18Here is his second.
11:203 on the sheets.
11:33Joseph Espiritu.
11:35Another new player.
11:37Task 2 Hound.
11:39Jace Miller.
11:41There is nothing he can do.
11:43He is an expert.
11:45Let's see how much they want to get that first win.
12:15Alright, earlier we saw that Hernal was holding on to his right foot, we have an injury report from Riri Khalid.
12:45He's the 7th most injured player in the team. Let's go back to Aureliano.
12:59Yes, earlier we saw that he was holding on to his right foot, but right now I feel like he's feeling the pain.
13:05After Sai Hernal fell, right after Ong Hotan because T-Mac jumped for the rebound.
13:36Two point guards on the floor for Letran, Montesillo and Miller.
13:41Monje for three.
13:45And Borromeo comes up with the ball.
13:51They're trapped on the ball screen, that's how much respect they're giving the Letran guards.
14:06Pushing down the number 9, Paulo Javier Leonard.
14:09He's second, three on the night.
14:12So that's Hernal.
14:17I correct myself, it's his left ankle.
14:20That's what he's moving and he just gave the thumbs up to the coaching staff.
14:27He's waiting for an option.
14:29Coming in for Chase Miller.
14:3214 seconds on the shot clock.
14:36Let's go!
14:48The ball will go back to the Knights.
15:05Paulo Javier Leonard.
15:10Estrada.
15:13Javier Leonard.
15:17Good mirror by Paulo Javier Leonard on Estrada's ball screen.
15:22And good recognition on that pass by Estrada.
15:25Seven points for Paulo Javier Leonard.
15:30Valencia.
15:32Too strong off the glass.
15:34Valencia's moves are good.
15:40Pondicillo.
15:43Javier Leonard.
15:45Another one.
15:47Same spot, same result.
15:50Skills work.
15:52Excuse me, three three-point attempts by Bacango.
15:56So, in this game, he's already made four attempts.
16:02And he's made two.
16:04So, 50%.
16:06So, already, Cristiano, in just one game, he's taken more attempts than he did in their season 99.
16:15That's a testament of his hard work.
16:21Paulo Javier Leonard with the soft touch from inside and outside.
16:29And he's loving it.
16:31By six.
16:40Ryan Zahonja.
16:42His first shot.
16:44As a son better red lion in the NCAA.
16:47The best shooting three-point team in the NCAA.
16:52Zahonja.
16:54Baseline drive, Zahonja.
16:56Short.
16:58Zahonja.
16:59Wow.
17:14So, what's the trend these days again, Cristiano?
17:17Very demure.
17:19Very mindful.
17:21Very cutesy.
17:25Look at me, my makeup, very cutesy, very demure.
17:29That's exactly what we're seeing here on the smile cam.
17:33Oh.
17:47He doesn't notice that he's on the big screen.
17:51That's when everyone notices.
18:00Oh.
18:11Jimba Estrada today, ten minutes, five points, three rebounds.
18:16Make that six points after that free throw, but he's turned the ball over four times.
18:20The defensive handling when the ball is with him, if he's on the ball screen, if he's trying to go for a one-on-one,
18:30he's very close to him, that's why he's following him.
18:34So, the defense here in the NCAA, there is a game plan against him already.
18:40Yes.
18:42A scouting report on Estrada.
18:50Two minutes.
19:06There's the defense of Abidinar.
19:09Good ball deflection.
19:11A very nice pass.
19:13Nice pass again.
19:20Estrada, a lot of space to operate Estrada, fade away.
19:25No.
19:27And Bernal is back on the floor.
19:32Only fouled, number 46, Jimbo Estrada.
19:36Penalty.
19:38First foul on Jimbo Estrada.
19:40That's something this rookie MVP needs to work on, his first basing fouls.
19:47I've seen it, I've seen it in the game against JRU and their first game when they lost.
19:55Every time it all gets in his head, it frustrates him, he can't execute.
20:00He can't execute.
20:09Cyril Hernal, there you see his stats.
20:13Playing on that sprained left ankle, suffered just moments ago.
20:25Back to six, the lead of Arellano.
20:31Montesillo to Estrada.
20:34Estrada will attack.
20:36Estrada, unable to finish.
20:39And Jimbo grabs his own miss.
20:42Abidinar, again!
20:45A third triple for Pao Abidinar.
20:49Left wing.
20:52Same spot.
20:54Same spot, yes.
20:55If we look at Pao Abidinar's shot chart, it's all on the left wing.
21:02Credit again to his hard work and skills.
21:09It's the hot zone for Pao Abidinar.
21:15A 10-1 run by Letran.
21:18A 10-1 run by Letran.
21:35Now the concern here for Letran is, Pao Abidinar has three personal fouls.
21:48Pao Abidinar.
21:50Pao Abidinar.
21:52Pao Abidinar.

23:13Pao Abidinar.
23:15Open shot.
23:27Going down, the number one Jey Adan Okotan, penalty.
23:30Her and Jey Hieronimo, not really known as a three-point shooter, but knocks down that triple.
23:36Triple.
23:55James Mandella and Joseph Luna coming in for the night.
24:00And here are the free throws for Charles Dimaano.
24:2223.4 seconds remaining.
24:25Second free throw for Charles Dimaano.
24:31And he gets it, the fall.
24:36Letran is back to the face guard defense.
24:40Urchin.
24:42The JL.
24:44Capullo.
24:46Hernal.
24:50Triple on the way, it is up and in for Renzo Abiera.
24:56Renzo Abiera, three.
24:58Wow, so Arelliano.
25:00The score is now 54 to 46 and a half.
