00:00 The libero, who will have the advantage.
00:03 As we see that first receive from Kat Arado.
00:06 Let's see who will score first.
00:09 Samonte goes up.
00:11 Blockers are there.
00:14 Ivy Laksina is not a middle blocker.
00:16 We know that she started as a middle blocker during her college days.
00:20 She has three positions.
00:21 One time she was a middle blocker, opposite, and out open.
00:25 So I do consider her.
00:26 Of course, that first point, no blockers we saw from Nexlead.
00:30 An easy point for PLDT.
00:36 Back row attack.
00:37 And Savvy Davidson starts early.
00:38 I mean, you have Davis in the back.
00:41 Maybe there are a lot of revelations, or maybe the right mix of players on the court.
00:46 I mean, when it comes to offseason, it's all about trial and error.
00:50 You have different mixes and matches that you can pair up.
00:54 Sabalyo is also there with that attack.
00:57 Luna picked up by Savvy.
01:02 Luna will go again.
01:06 Hardo.
01:07 Masipag sa net.
01:10 Oh, napanta yan si Fiola, si Balios dun.
01:17 She expressed frustrations as they were not able to translate their preparations and trainings
01:22 in that game.
01:23 So today, Fritsch and the rest of the team.
01:30 Laxina will go up again.
01:32 This time she finds it.
01:33 She finds a hole.
01:34 And the spike of the set brought to you by Duncan Basalubong ng Bayan.
01:44 Four in a row?
01:45 Yes, three in a row.
01:46 This might be the fourth.
01:47 Oh, wow.
01:48 Nice down the line by Fiola Sabalyos.
01:53 Let's see that replay.
01:56 Fiola Sabalyos is actually known for her down the line attacks.
02:00 She is a former beach volleyball player.
02:03 That's another good serve.
02:07 And this time she'll score.
02:08 Tough one.
02:09 Ace.
02:10 This is her second time.
02:13 This is usually the strategy of most teams.
02:17 Sometimes you just want to tire out the best fighters.
02:20 Yeah.
02:21 That's a good serve too.
02:22 Davison, you knew with that approach she was going to go power.
02:31 What a swing and right away there's no miscues.
02:34 Very stable.
02:35 I mean, take a look at that lead.
02:38 Running attack by Baron.
02:45 See the strategy of Kath.
02:50 Erica Santos is on the court now here for PLDT.
02:54 This time good coverage by Laksina.
02:57 Santos with a dip.
03:00 And right away.
03:01 Her approach is very deceiving.
03:04 Her attack going up for that approach.
03:07 But last minute decision.
03:09 Just hope that it doesn't happen to you.
03:12 Quick.
03:15 Good cover by Nexled.
03:18 But the ball right back.
03:19 Good reflexes by Sabat.
03:22 Who knows who to set at the right time.
03:24 She has so many options.
03:26 Oh, and these services.
03:31 She's got four so far.
03:34 Oh.
03:36 That's a good first ball too.
03:40 And Kao knew that she was in trouble with that ball going to the net.
03:44 She tried but Nexled will have to make on their defense.
03:48 The aces and a lot of dead balls.
03:51 They'll receive as well.
03:53 Jessie Deleon here on your screens making an impressive defensive pattern in the back.
03:58 But I mean, if you're in the wrong rotation as well, you need to also just communicate.
04:03 I think that's what it is with Nexled.
04:06 We need more communication.
04:07 25-17 for those of you just joining our coverage now.
04:11 This is a double header Tuesday with Chocomucho going up against Petragas after this game.
04:16 Laksina down the line.
04:17 Let's take a look at that rally.
04:21 I mean that leap, going for that down the line.
04:23 Samonte showing a lot of versatility.
04:29 That was a tough one.
04:31 This is going to be a broken play.
04:33 Fioletti gets it set up.
04:37 Combination attack.
04:40 And good chase there by Nexled.
04:43 Samonte!
04:44 Good pick up by Cams Victoria.
04:48 Another free ball.
04:51 Samonte will go again.
04:53 Laksina felt good about that one.
04:59 Oh, good play.
05:00 Good defense here by Nexled.
05:06 And look at that.
05:07 Ceballos with a save.
05:09 Oh, we like this rally.
05:14 A lot of broken plays.
05:16 Samonte ad-libbing, just pushes the ball over.
05:20 Luna with a tip.
05:21 Oh, smart play by May Luna.
05:24 She found that hole in that defense of PLDT.
05:30 And that wasn't the strongest of attacks.
05:33 Those are the smart attacks of the serves
05:35 when you earn that point prior.
05:41 Difficult chase there by Cal.
05:42 This is another free ball for PLDT.
05:44 Ca, pushing it out to Ceballos.
05:47 Good cover by Savi.
05:49 But too smart a play there by Makaslang.
05:53 See that replay.
05:57 No coverage.
05:58 It's an error.
06:00 Oh, that one went down.
06:04 Okay, they get a do-over.
06:07 That's a tough one.
06:13 Cal manages to get the ball back in.
06:16 Jessie Deleon a little bit quiet so far in the second set.
06:23 Very tricky there.
06:25 I won't be surprised if Cal sets Jessie Deleon in the sequence.
06:30 Aha, you have a crystal ball in front of you.
06:33 Easy job for Cal.
06:39 And a half.
06:44 Going with Ebon there who's back in the game.
06:51 Laksina!
06:55 PhilSports Arena, Chiki Rojopuno with Jamie LaVittoria,
06:58 Kyla Castillo completing our three-woman panel.
07:01 Next lead.
07:02 Looking much better in the second set.
07:04 But the Joy Baron quickly ties things up.
07:07 Joy Baron being aggressive at the end.
07:10 Next lead looking much better here already.
07:12 They gave up that first set 25-17.
07:15 And right now they're just in step with the LBP.
07:22 Good first ball there by Ravena.
07:24 Luna again!
07:25 You know Luna, the quiet operator.
07:28 She's not very flamboyant.
07:30 Two points in their last match against Galleries.
07:36 Good pick up there by both Laksina and Savvy Davison.
07:40 And she does it again.
07:41 Good defense we're seeing from Savvy.
07:43 Her all-around talents being showcased here.
07:48 Erica Santos.
07:50 Good read there by Dani.
07:54 This is a broken play.
07:55 Santos will go up.
07:58 Dani everywhere.
08:00 Good saves there by the team captain.
08:04 Oh, look at Dani Ravena.
08:08 Catarado this time feeding the ball to Fajardo.
08:12 Ravena will not let any ball drop.
08:15 Same thing with Kath.
08:19 This is a libero showdown.
08:22 Oh!
08:24 What a rally.
08:26 When it's followed by a misserve,
08:29 it's very difficult to come back from.
08:33 Victoria.
08:34 Delayon was watching closely.
08:36 They knew it was coming.
08:43 A chase there.
08:44 This is going to be a chance here for Nexled.
08:50 And they take advantage of that one.
08:53 Looking for two more points to win the second set.
08:56 Nexled though needs to stage their comeback now.
09:00 And Laksina knows the urgency of the situation.
09:04 She is in.
09:07 That one is good.
09:10 Catarado.
09:12 It's Catarado.
09:14 She makes her stops.
09:19 Let's see where Camille Cal goes.
09:21 Pushes it out to Laksina.
09:23 Gets it through the block.
09:25 Savvy with a counter.
09:27 She's the one who also has an all-around.
09:31 She can also be a mean defender at the net.
09:34 Savvy.
09:37 That was a good effort by Dani Ravena.
09:40 Too much for Nexled.
09:44 Santos and Bedonias starting here in this third set.
09:50 Cal with the pick up there.
09:51 Could be a broken play.
09:52 Victoria sending it over.
09:54 Makaslang.
09:56 As we know about Kritsy Makaslang,
09:58 she is their first game.
10:00 So they're looking to break into the win column.
10:03 Meantime, PLDT already took that first match against Galleries.
10:10 And he's smart.
10:12 Guarding Davison now.
10:21 Oh.
10:22 Good pick up there by Luna.
10:24 And the block.
10:26 And the block.
10:28 And a micro attack.
10:30 Davison is blocked.
10:33 Atienza feeling that one.
10:35 With Rhea, both vets, I would say.
10:38 And you could field in Rhea any time.
10:43 Wow.
10:44 Coverage now.
10:48 Of course, this is a double header.
10:50 So stay tuned after this game.
10:53 Block.
10:58 Oh, that was tough.
11:02 Erika Santos.
11:04 Stopped there by Ivy Laksina.
11:08 Davison with the tip.
11:12 Back row attack.
11:14 Easy for Kat Arado.
11:17 And Medjoi Baron taking advantage of her height also.
11:20 But we've seen her more consistent and more precise with her hits.
11:24 Right, that's right.
11:27 Like that, she heard you.
11:29 She heard you there, Chikki.
11:31 Actually controlling the game.
11:35 Good serve there.
11:37 Wow.
11:38 Look at Erika Santos.
11:42 Luna got a little bit of a talking to from Coach Taka in that last timeout.
11:48 Wow.
11:50 Yeah.
11:51 That's what--
11:52 With six points.
12:01 Back set.
12:05 Badonia again.
12:06 And just like digging it slow.
12:08 Smart play.
12:10 Their momentum.
12:11 I mean, you're supposed to be playing your best towards the end.
12:16 We have PLTT very--
12:18 Oh.
12:19 Been waiting for that.
12:22 Need to string along some points here.
12:25 Najee Mangulabnan back on the court.
12:30 Good net defense there by Ebon and Jaya Tiensa.
12:34 Also back on the court for next lead.
12:36 A little shuffling we're seeing by Coach Taka.
12:39 Oh.
12:40 Carry on.
12:44 But we need more production, Chikki, I would say, from the other spotters.
12:48 Absolutely.
12:50 Now Davis-Anoito.
12:53 Elevation.
12:56 May Luna.
12:58 Catarado with the dig.
13:00 And that's off the block.
13:02 Hands off.
13:03 I said earlier, you got to play your best towards the end.
13:08 Ebon now.
13:09 Left-handed opposite.
13:17 Outside set.
13:19 That's a tough one.
13:20 Ebon, that's another point for Laika Ebon.
13:23 A lot of pressure on this serve.
13:26 The next few serves.
13:35 Let's see what PLTT does.
13:38 Good pick up.
13:39 Dig by Dan.
13:40 Yeah, Dan Rivera is having a great game today.
13:43 Oh, wow.
13:45 Just a quick transition.
13:47 And Majoy Baron takes care of business.
13:49 Stage a sweep here, but next lead, still a chance to catch up.
13:53 Oh, and it's looking bleaker and bleaker for next lead.
14:00 We've seen reverse sweeps many times.
14:12 Oh, let's see what Victoria does.
14:15 This is a chance again for PLTT to end it.
14:19 Good blocking by next lead.
14:22 Oh, look at that.
14:23 Solid from Victoria.
14:27 Still match point for the high-speed hitters.
14:30 That's a good serve.
14:32 Good first ball by Bedonia.
14:36 Chance for Camille Victoria to counter.
14:38 And that is outside.
14:40 So it is the air on the attack that will give PLTT 25 points
14:44 and the match.
14:46 But we have, of course, Coach Taka going here for a challenge.
14:52 Team, that's 12.
14:54 Did you see a touch there?
14:56 Yeah, yeah.
14:57 It's being attacked.
14:58 Okay.
