00:00 are their uniforms respectively.
00:03 Alright.
00:04 Starting off, Sunday triple header in your NCAA Season 99.
00:10 It is San Sebastian versus Benil, Martin Avere.
00:15 Papa Bear coach Benji Paras with Julia Ong and Fadi Mareas completing the broadcast team.
00:21 First crack at the basket here for the Benil Blazers.
00:24 One of the hottest teams in the league.
00:27 They were just in the LPU in their previous contest.
00:30 But again, this is the real Benil, quote unquote, that we are looking for in Season 99.
00:38 Yes, especially Will Gosu.
00:40 He started slow, it seemed like he had a problem during the early first round of this season.
00:51 But he came back every time there was a game.
00:54 Just like we said during the last game, we interviewed him.
00:58 This is the first time Will Gosu is playing as a best player.
01:01 That's right. Will Gosu, of course, had surgery on his hand in the offseason that caused him to miss some time.
01:12 He was away from the team for about three to four months.
01:15 That's a big injury.
01:17 That's why he was returning to his condition. Secondly, he adjusted back to game speed.
01:24 Yes, the timing. The timing is what will be missing from you.
01:28 But if you're San Sebastian, you're going to defend, of course, everyone.
01:36 But who will you leave behind?
01:38 Yes.
01:39 Right? You'll have a lot to watch.
01:41 San Sebastian, we know this as a very hard-nosed team, very tough team as well.
01:49 They're not giving up. They're going to keep on fighting.
01:53 Just like what they did against Netran in the previous game.
01:56 Will Gosu, crossed the foul in the process.
02:01 That's the familiar...
02:02 That's the strength of Will.
02:05 Driving from the outside, attacking the basket.
02:08 If you give him the right spot, it's hard to give it to him.
02:13 Will Gosu, who early in the season just averaged 10 points a game, is now up to 12.9, almost 13 points a game.
02:24 He has put together a solid string of games, including a 29-point performance a couple of matches ago.
02:36 Alright, let's go first to San Sebastian's side.
02:39 Let's listen to Fatih Marias' update.
02:43 Coming off a win for San Sebastian. Let's listen to it.
02:45 It's like the Golden Stack is at the end of the cliff.
02:49 Because of one wrong move, they'll lose their chance to catch up in the Final Four.
02:54 But Martin and Papa Bear, these kinds of games are the ones that are more enjoyable to fight.
02:58 Because Alex De Soyo told us, they don't feel any pressure.
03:02 Because at this point, they'll be playing for San Sebastian.
03:06 He also reminded the opponent that even if the opponent is still in the middle, they shouldn't relax.
03:10 Because if they're in the middle, they'll be more defended.
03:13 Even if there's a hole in the fence, they'll show that they'll fight.
03:18 So this is almost a tie.
03:20 Papa Bear?
03:21 It's like he said it's a tie.
03:23 Yes, it's a tie.
03:25 But what he said is true.
03:27 There's no pressure.
03:29 Because of one wrong move, they'll definitely be out of the game.
03:34 San Sebastian is at the edge of the bucket.
03:36 That's what Papa Bear said.
03:38 But they are playing loose.
03:41 Raymar Escobedo just entered the game and made an impact right away.
03:47 First bucket for San Sebastian.
03:50 I'm pretty sure.
03:51 That's what Coach Giancarlo said to his team.
03:55 If anyone is free, take that shot.
03:57 Nice find.
03:58 Turko!
04:00 With a two-handed slam!
04:02 This is the improvement I saw from Gossum.
04:05 From the start of the second round.
04:07 His pass, his extra pass, he's already looking for open mats.
04:13 Maybe that's something he was able to acquire as he was trying to adjust to everything here.
04:19 Because he's more passive these days.
04:24 Ongzon able to get the rebound.
04:26 Here's Prince Carlos.
04:28 The Blazers right now at 9 and 5.
04:31 He's right in front of the San Pedro Red Lions number 3.
04:36 At the team standings, Will Gossum.
04:39 And stays with Benilto.
04:42 Here's San Sebastian, 5 and 9.
04:44 He just made a pass.
04:45 Stepping into a three-pointer is Raymar Escobedo.
04:50 But how about the passing here from the front line of the Blazers?
04:53 It was Harke going to Gossum.
04:55 And then Gossum finding Turko for the jam.
04:58 Our rookie Harke though misfires.
05:02 Felipe Rico.
05:03 Escobedo stops.
05:07 And here's Miguel Ongzon.
05:17 Bounce pass, Harke lefty.
05:20 Finish is good.
05:21 Second assist for Will Gossum.
05:25 Here's Rerum Perkins especially in the second round.
05:30 Escobedo continues his hot start.
05:33 He's got all six points of San Sebastian.
05:35 Let's go to the Benilto Blazers.
05:38 Let's see how they will bounce back off a tough loss against FPU.
05:42 Let's talk to Julia Ong.
05:43 Julia.
05:44 Thank you Martin for Captain Robyn Ivey.
05:46 What really went wrong during their last game was they relied more on their individual skills.
05:50 More on their individual talents than on working as a team.
05:53 If they could just show their good ball movement and unselfishness until the end,
05:58 they would have won.
06:00 So coming into today's game, more on technical preparations they did.
06:04 Focusing on their plays, game plans, and reviewing the opponent.
06:07 They said it was just one day of preparation so they were physically rested.
06:12 They did just light training yesterday.
06:15 For you Papa Berga, what is the importance of resting before a game?
06:19 It's important.
06:21 It's important.
06:22 Of course, your body will be relaxed.
06:25 Just make sure you wake up when you're resting.
06:28 That's the only important thing.
06:30 You'll be on an alarm.
06:31 No, I mean you'll wake up before the game.
06:32 You might be late.
06:33 Yes, that's right.
06:34 If you're late, you'll be pressured.
06:36 Because sometimes you won't wake up to the alarm.
06:40 You'll be so relaxed.
06:41 You know, sometimes I'll be on an alarm in my sleep.
06:45 Instead of AM, I'll put in PM.
06:48 Honestly, no joke, I was left by an airplane.
06:51 That's why you should be careful.
06:54 Especially for our players.
06:56 I'm sure because...
06:58 That's a foul on Alex De Soyo.
07:01 Because they live maybe in one place.
07:04 So they're the ones who wake up to each other.
07:08 Alright, six apiece.
07:10 A close start between these two teams.
07:13 Let's go to this quick break.
07:15 [Music]
07:23 [Music]
07:29 [Music]
07:37 [Music]
07:45 [Music]
07:50 [Music]
07:57 Back to our match.
07:58 And the backcourt tandem of these Benio Blazers.
08:03 They showed up in the previous game against LPU.
08:07 19 points, 16 points respectively for Miguel Oczon and Prince Carlos.
08:12 And this is what you want to see.
08:14 A more potent backcourt, especially at this stage of the season.
08:19 And you will complement that with the rise of Will Gozum.
08:25 You also have Miggy Cortez off the bench.
08:28 And of course, Roby Naive who has been solid offensively as well.
08:31 This is turning out to be a scary team for the Blazers going into the final weeks.
08:37 The bench of Tung Binil is deep.
08:40 And knowing Coach Charles, we saw in the last game,
08:44 he let in 13 players.
08:46 And everyone contributed.
08:48 [Music]
08:51 And if you're--I saw San Sebastian, they're concentrating,
08:55 defending Oczon and Prince.
08:58 And Carlos, he's really over, forcing that one up.
09:03 Turco, no follow-up.
09:05 Gozum gets it back and nails the shortstop.
09:08 Actually, Binil's big men, they're the ones who's doing the damage for San Sebastian.
09:14 [Music]
09:18 They're right, it's the Turco, Gozum, alternating the points.
09:24 It's Romel Calahat getting the hoop and harm.
09:29 Plus one coming up.
09:31 [Music]
09:32 Will Gozum, again, not giving up on the play, getting the board.
09:37 And the putback, Romel Calahat attacking the interior that time.
09:41 That's a rookie mistake from Marque.
09:44 [Music]
09:46 [Foreign language]
10:05 Coach Boni, by the way, is calling the shots for San Sebastian.
10:11 Coach John, as you see him on the scorer's table,
10:15 he's feeling under the weather today.
10:17 [Foreign language]
10:22 [Foreign language]
10:29 [Foreign language]
10:32 [Foreign language]
10:35 [Foreign language]
10:40 [Foreign language]
10:44 [Foreign language]
10:54 Actually, they've been doing that.
10:56 Officials are saying that the score should be reduced.
11:01 Actually, not only in this league.
11:03 [Foreign language]
11:05 [Foreign language]
11:06 It's the timing.
11:07 Timing.
11:08 [Foreign language]
11:11 [Foreign language]
11:14 Okay.
11:15 [Foreign language]
11:21 [Foreign language]
11:24 Stepping on the line, Raymar Escobedo.
11:28 Officially, he only has five points.
11:31 Invincible jumper is good.
11:33 Kozum, three two buckets to begin this game.
11:36 [Foreign language]
11:41 Actually, he can shoot from the outside.
11:43 [Foreign language]
11:47 Staying patient.
11:49 Spins away and then turns back again for the deuce.
11:53 That's a good transition offense from Benil.
11:55 [Foreign language]
11:59 And now, San Sebastian is starting to misfire.
12:01 Benil slowly humming.
12:03 Harke, no.
12:05 Rebound, ending up with Escobedo.
12:07 Raymar on the move.
12:09 Visoyo, step back three.
12:12 [Foreign language]
12:15 Actually, that was a good decision by Visoyo.
12:18 [Foreign language]
12:20 Will Kozum was in front of it.
12:22 Visoyo, zero out of four to start this game.
12:27 Kozum, facing up on Kalahat.
12:31 He's been having his way here in the first,
12:33 and he continues to do that.
12:35 And he's feeling it.
12:37 [Foreign language]
12:43 Six points for Will.
12:45 Three jumpers.
12:47 Escobedo, Mentes, and here comes Benil.
12:51 Looking to create some separation here.
12:55 [Foreign language]
12:58 Escobedo, they don't have the numbers.
13:02 Side stepping.
13:04 [Foreign language]
13:08 That was Will Kozum feeling it.
13:10 As you mentioned, Papabear here in the first quarter.
13:13 Three Js, Oxzone, doing a 360 that time.
13:18 On the floor, though.
13:20 And the second fadeaway afterwards,
13:22 for Will Kozum.
13:24 And it is now a 6-0 run for the Blazers,
13:27 ever since our deadlock earlier,
13:30 that was an 8-all.
13:32 [Foreign language]
13:46 You can see his progress from the start of the season
13:50 going up to this point.
13:52 [Foreign language]
13:56 Because in their first few games,
13:59 you could see him really adjusting,
14:01 not getting to his spots,
14:03 missing his usual shots.
14:05 [Foreign language]
14:07 And he's looking like the MVP that we know.
14:10 Vinny Cortez is on the floor now for Benil,
14:13 adding some more firepower for the Blazers.
14:18 And a big improvement for player named Benil.
14:22 His brain scar, though,
14:24 that he adjusted after the absence of Valera.
14:29 Oh, a scope.
14:31 A scope.
14:32 Benil is strong.
14:34 Kozum.
14:37 Oh, trying to slam it.
14:39 Missed it, though.
14:40 Cleanup is off as well.
14:43 Here comes San Sebastian.
14:45 [Foreign language]
14:47 [Foreign language]
14:50 Back it outside.
14:52 [Foreign language]
14:54 From the left wing.
14:56 No go.
14:57 [Foreign language]
14:59 Comes up with a point, at least almost,
15:02 before he gets caught.
15:04 Here's DJ Filibrico.
15:06 We got a timeout here.
15:07 It's a four-point lead for the Blazers, 14-10.
15:11 [Music]
15:15 [Music]
15:19 [Music]
15:47 [Music]
15:50 We're back to the coverage.
15:51 [Foreign language]
15:54 Raymar Escobedo, that was his first triple.
15:57 [Foreign language]
15:58 Yeah, clear, stepping on the line.
16:01 [Foreign language]
16:03 [Foreign language]
16:08 [Foreign language]
16:11 Are, you ready?
16:12 Yeah.
16:13 [Foreign language]
16:14 A career high for him against Latran.
16:16 23 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 23 minutes.
16:21 Uh-huh.
16:22 Very efficient.
16:23 [Foreign language]
16:25 All right.
16:26 To beat his score, 23 points.
16:28 One point per minute.
16:29 Yes.
16:30 [Foreign language]
16:31 Against Latran.
16:32 Again, that is his career high.
16:35 Only his second season as a San Sebastian stag.
16:39 [Foreign language]
16:42 On the floor for Basté.
16:44 [Foreign language]
16:47 On the floor, general, for the Benil Blazers.
16:50 Oh, ball is deflected.
16:53 [Foreign language]
16:55 Ten-eyed by Corteza.
16:57 And it's a traveler knife.
16:59 So, stags will retain possession as Rex Gabat
17:04 checks in, replacing Kalahat.
17:07 On the other side, it's Makoy Marcos
17:10 going in for Oczon.
17:13 So, an exchange of players from both sides.
17:17 Actually, all the players of Benil have been replaced.
17:21 Yes.
17:22 It's a completely new lineup on the court for the Blazers.
17:26 Jesse Somoda is able to carve space inside.
17:30 Good reach coming from Somoda.
17:32 He knows he has an advantage in size.
17:35 Against Mara.
17:37 Drop off.
17:38 Floater.
17:39 No.
17:40 Like Emily Corteza.
17:43 And it's Rex Gabat.
17:45 What's happening?
17:47 Able to track the ball down.
17:49 As he approached earlier, Kabat.
17:52 They go back to the post.
17:54 And Somoda likes this matchup.
17:56 Jesse sends it out.
17:58 They go to the corner.
17:59 Escobedo.
18:00 A little bit too strong.
18:01 Hits the back iron.
18:04 Here's Kabat.
18:07 Here's Kahukog.
18:10 Mike and Mara.
18:11 Side step.
18:12 Oh!
18:13 The side step escape.
18:14 Bucket and the yawn for Mike and Mara.
18:17 It's amazing to see Big Man doing that kind of move.
18:21 There.
18:22 Left.
18:24 Here's Jesse Somoda.
18:27 Really, "Now you see me, now you don't."
18:30 He went far.
18:31 Yes.
18:32 Right?
18:33 He committed Somoda to the left.
18:36 Somoda was surprised.
18:38 He knew he could do it.
18:40 You're Big Man.
18:41 How did you do it?
18:42 Here's Mike and Mara.
18:43 Back of big for Benilde.
18:45 Hasn't gotten consistent minutes for Coach Charles.
18:50 Because every match, every match, Coach Charles is really on the front line.
18:56 Yes.
18:57 Like Mara and their other bigs.
19:02 Coach Charles is preparing them for the next season.
19:10 Next season, though, they will be having the services of Anil Miwag from EAC.
19:16 So that should be on their front line.
19:21 Naibe's got a good fight.
19:23 Robbie is on the move.
19:25 With a dose.
19:28 19 to 12.
19:30 It's another mini run for Benilde.
19:34 Escobedo couldn't answer.
19:36 Top of the board.
19:38 Should have.
19:39 Setback by McCoy.
19:40 Good timing from McCoy, not jumping on that thing.
19:45 The Pacers now holding their biggest lead.
19:48 Naibe's got a lot of momentum.
19:52 Back to back hoops for Robbie Naibe.
19:54 Aaron pass.
19:56 Somoda, turn over for the owner.
19:59 This is it.
20:00 Using his body.
20:03 Off the steel, he is able to finish on the move.
20:06 And shield his body.
20:09 Or using his body as a shield.
20:12 On the move.
20:17 Corteza.
20:18 He's been hit.
20:19 Bounce pass.
20:20 He's going inside.
20:21 Gabbat read it.
20:23 Sebastian.
20:26 Has to be careful here because Benilde is slowly feeling it.
20:30 And they're starting to create some separation.
20:34 Ari.
20:36 Forcing the issue that time.
20:39 So he doesn't head to the line.
20:43 Because it's not a penalty situation yet.
20:48 Actually, when Somoda entered, he was effective in the post-up play.
20:54 I'm just wondering if they're not repeating it.
20:57 Yes.
20:59 Earlier, they were repeating it in the consecutive play or in the play after.
21:04 But Somoda was forced to go outside.
21:06 Yes.
21:07 That's what's going to happen.
21:08 There will be an open man outside.
21:10 Gabbat for three.
21:12 Nothing.
21:13 Where's Sebastian?
21:15 Still misfiring.
21:17 Here's McCoy.
21:19 Pass is deflected but picked up by Benilde Mara.
21:22 Now Kahukong thought about it.
21:24 One dribble in.
21:26 Jumper is off.
21:27 Rebound ends up with Marcos.
21:28 If he needed the ladder to get it in time.
21:32 But the Blazers with a strong finish to this first quarter.
21:38 They're up by 9.
21:39 21 to 12.
