00:00Once again, maraming salamat mga kapuso sa inyong panonood.
00:04We are live on GTV Simulcast on Heart of Asia.
00:08Ton Ross working alongside Prince Rivero.
00:11And of course, at court side, we also have Christine Sanagustin.
00:20Barba.
00:22Bravo.
00:25Barba gives it back to JM.
00:27JM, bravo.
00:29Short on that triple try.
00:31Here comes Gonzales.
00:36Yan yung mga isa sa mga downside ng running team.
00:39Kailangan, willing ka talaga na-take yung risk na magkakaroon talaga kayo ng mataas na number of turnovers.
00:45Kasi part yun ng pagiging running team.
00:47And yung upside naman nun, yung tone na maseset mo para sa team mo, again, condition sila.
00:54Napakalaking bagay nun para sa kanila.
00:56Sila ang nakapagset ng pace.
00:58Which what they did nung first part ng game.
01:06Mananatili ang bola dito sa LPU.
01:09Pero unable to complete the interception.
01:16Our referees changing their initial decision.
01:21And that's why Coach Gilbert Malabanan is all the way up at the half-court line.
01:29So ayan, binawi ulit nila.
01:31It's still LPU basketball.
01:33It's official.
01:37Badania swings it to Barba.
01:42Oh, what a rebound by Gonzales.
01:45Para sa guard, makikita mo siya na nandun dun sa taas ng ring kumukuhan ng rebound.
01:49Malaking bagay yun.
01:52Dagle.
01:54Celso.
01:56Not ready for that bounce pass.
02:07Alright, let's try to find out what's going on at court side as we go back to Christine Sanagustin.
02:13Always be aggressive.
02:15Yan ang reminder ni Coach Gilbert Malabanan sa LPU Pirates during halftime.
02:19As he reminded the team that the San Pedro Red Lions has been showing their aggressiveness non-stop.
02:25At hindi-hindi na daw ito matatanggap.
02:27Dagdag kasi ni Coach Gilbert that their team takes pride in not being easily stumbled by others.
02:32And now is the time to put that pride into practice.
02:36That's all for now here in the court side.
02:37Back to you Anton and Prince.
02:39Well, they definitely have to maintain that aggressiveness if they want to come back in this contest.
02:45That's what they showed when they made a run late in the second period.
02:51And again, nabanggit ko sa'yo kanina na itong LPU team natin na to.
02:55Known sila from dun sa mga ganung klase ng depensa na kahit medyo malaki na yung lamang, medyo malayo na.
03:03Nababawi nila and nakakabalik pa sila dun sa game.
03:08Kailangan lang nila maging consistent all throughout.
03:13But they commit a turnover right there.
03:15San Pedro will try to capitalize at Brada.
03:19Gonzalez.
03:21Tatle fakes.
03:23Fires. Short.
03:25And Bravo is ahead of the pack.
03:29Oh!
03:31Good recovery by Gonzalez.
03:34To bother what was supposed to be an uncontested layup by Bravo.
03:42Nahabol pa ni Nigel.
03:46Anton may question ako.
03:48Normally yung mga ganun, pag tinamaan mo yung board, yung ring,
03:52tapos gumalaw siya.
03:53Doesn't matter if mashoot or hindi.
03:55They count it as goal tending.
03:58Hindi kaya nakita nung...
04:01Well, apparently not.
04:03Okay.
04:05They have one more chance, another chance to secure a basket.
04:10Guadagna.
04:11Barba.
04:14Barba gets the ball back.
04:16And knocks down the three.
04:23Nakakabalik na siya sa rhythm niya.
04:26So far, si Barba meron na siyang...
04:30one out of... two out of three sa three points.
04:33And yan yung kailangan nila.
04:35Ang dami nilang attempts sa first half na dapat...
04:38naku-convert nila.
04:43Celso converts for San Pedro.
04:47Brings the lead back up to 14.
04:52Barba.
04:54Guadagna.
04:57Guadagna.
05:01You were asking about whether the three-point shots were good shots.
05:05That latest one was not.
05:07Very much contested.
05:08Bravo cleans up the miss though.
05:20A rare miscommunication.
05:24Between the Red Lions, RC Kalimag and Andrada.
05:34And now, Penny Estancho returns for...
05:37Nigel Gonzalez.
05:43Oh, Coach Gilbert calling a timeout.
05:47All right, we will take a quick break.
05:49San Pedro still holding on to a 46-34 lead.
06:05Kevin Santos with his third jam of the day!
06:10Wow!
06:12How about this? The tomahawk.
06:14Down the middle once again.
06:16It's really different when Kevin Santos has a fly.
06:21Attacking.
06:24Destroying the rim.
06:27Upside down.
06:33The LPU Pirates had a very heart-breaking end to their season 99
06:39as they actually finished the elimination round in second place.
06:43The Pirates had that twice-to-beat advantage against San Pedro
06:46and lost on both occasions.
06:49Again, I mentioned this to you earlier.
06:52The quality of the basketball program of San Pedro ever since has been on the top.
07:00And we know what the fruits of San Pedro are.
07:06Which are a lot of notable names.
07:09And we can see other schools reaching that level, which I'm really, really happy.
07:16Now, they just need to be consistent on both ends.
07:20So that they can stay on that level.
07:23And that's going to be so hard for it to stay consistent
07:26and maintain that level that they had last year.
07:29Because they're losing two of their best players.
07:31Or they lost already.
07:32Two of their best players, Enoch Valdez and Sean O'Malley
07:36who was providing that fire, that fighting spirit here in the Pirates.
07:43Okay, Anton, one thing that I learned from my seniors,
07:48from my veteran players before.
07:51The graduates who leave school after playing,
07:57the culture that they left behind, that's what's important.
08:01If they're not on the team anymore,
08:03the culture that you built while they were still there should thrive.
08:08That's where you can say that they did their job.
08:12As captains, as veterans of the team.
08:15If they were instilled in those who will leave,
08:17that this is the culture that we want to build,
08:19this is the culture that should stay, and this is what you should do.
08:24And so far, I would say that it started with Coach Topex Robinson
08:29when he was the head coach of LPU.
08:32Coach Gilbert Malabanan was there as well.
08:35Coach Gilbert continued what Coach Topex Robinson started,
08:38that love-serve-care vision.
08:42And making it to the Final Four in back-to-back seasons
08:45after a ninth-place finish in Season 97,
08:48I would say that the system and culture that you're talking about is already there.
08:54But with the losses of those key players,
08:57the question is,
08:59who are the guys, the new guys that are going to come in
09:02to try to fill in the void left by Valdez and Umali?
09:07Now, that's what they should figure out.
09:09Who among them will step up,
09:11and who's ready to step up to take that role?
09:15Because it's not easy to be a leader.
09:17It's not easy to be a leader of a team.
09:21Because again, Kobe mentioned before that when you're a leader, you're lonely.
09:25Life is very lonely.
09:27Because you don't have to please them.
09:30Sometimes, they feel bad for you,
09:32but you have to be the one to tell them what to do and what not to do.
09:38Yes, there are times when you feel bad,
09:40but that's the job of a leader.
09:43Guadagna with the interception, cross-court pass.
09:46Villegas draws a foul.
09:49And that's for them to figure out.
09:52For now, as far as I can see,
09:54we talked about the fighting spirit of Sean Umali.
09:59I think if there's anybody on this LPU team
10:02who has maintained or taken that role to be that guy
10:06that shows that despite the odds, he will continue to fight,
10:09it's Renz Villegas.
10:11Yes, yes.
10:13He's one of the notable players of LPU, Villegas.
10:19And in his performance tonight, I was a bit disappointed.
10:23But you can see, again, you mentioned that
10:27he's one of those who continue to do his old bets.
10:32And he should be able to make his teammates respond to what he's doing
10:38to be effective.
10:41Villegas now playing in his third year for the LPU Pirates.
10:48Eight points in the game for Villegas.
11:04And Prince, we have a coach's challenge here
11:07as we take a look at the replay.
11:19Now, on that initial replay,
11:22I saw Peña Fiel's hand.
11:29Actually, Montaño, number 13.
11:34That right hand, his fingers touched the ball.
11:40Will he be honest and admit that he's the last touch?
11:44Or will they wait for the replay?
11:46He's not honest because he was taught in their court.
11:51And based on experience, of course, we play basketball.
11:55That's one of the things we're guilty of.
11:58Even if it's our last touch.
12:00The first thing you'll do is teach your teammate.
12:03That's him, our ball.
12:09But that doesn't mean you're not honest.
12:11He's just a part of the game.
12:12Hey!
12:15Hey!
12:17It's LPU ball, so...
12:20I guess we're wrong too.
12:25No, there's no sunbed.
12:27Oh, sorry, sunbed, yup.
12:28Yup.
12:48You mentioned earlier, Anton, that they have a dead pipe.
12:52What can you nickname the coaching staff who have sunbeds?
12:58Wow, that is like an all-star edition.
13:02Right?
13:03Collection of very brilliant minds.
13:07Who has been in the league for so long.
13:12Oh, he caught it!
13:15The putback!
13:16Go, go, go!
13:27What is the desire?
13:29What better way to motivate your teammates to fight?
13:33When you see your vets, they're the ones who go in there,
13:37and they're the ones who hit the ball for that extra possession.
13:43What better way to fight?
13:46You saw Coach Boyan Fernandez and Consultant Norman Black.
13:53Part of that all-star lineup of coaches from the sunbed aside.
14:00Estacio.
14:02Misses rebound.
14:03Guadagna.
14:06Imagine the things these players can pick from their brains.
14:11What a luxury.
14:12What a luxury.
14:15Montaño.
14:17Montaño creating space.
14:29And R.C. Calipas calls for a foul there.
14:35I'm still waiting for the rebound.
14:38You can't play.
14:39You can't.
14:41Andrada.
14:43Andrada right now has played 18 minutes.
14:46He's played the most among all Red Lions.
14:4910 points and 5 rebounds.
14:51Gu for 3.
14:53Yes, and with 10 points, Gu for 3.
14:56In a 2-point field goal and in a 3-point field goal,
14:59the percentage was very high.
15:01Again, he was the leading percentage of the big shooter in the season last year.
15:06With 2.6 mix per game.
15:09And Yuki Andrada had a legacy-defining performance in Game 3.
15:14The title-clinching win of Sunbeda.
15:17He scored 20 points and shot 5 out of 10 from beyond the arc in a Game 3.
15:23Imagine that.
15:24Shooting 50% in a Game 3 do-or-die match.
15:28Finals game.
15:31With a twice-to-beat team.
15:33Twice-to-beat team.
15:37Wow.
15:38Yeah, because they lost Game 1.
15:39Wow.
15:42That's why he couldn't sleep for several nights.
15:46Estacio.
15:49Zahonya pops out.
15:51Villegas was able to hit him.
15:55Zahonya.
15:56Had to shoot.
15:59Bryan Zahonya.
16:00Tough.
16:02He hasn't missed from beyond the arc.
16:08As a player, Anton, that's one of the most painful things you can feel.
16:14Not having a shot clock.
16:16It's good that you defended the whole time.
16:19Then they'll shoot.
16:21Wow.
16:29These two teams faced off in the Final 4 in Season 99.
16:37One second remaining on the shot clock.
16:40Bryan Zahonya.
16:4315 points now in his NCAA debut as a red liar.
16:51Montaño and Alcuera.
17:03That's where you can see the caliber of the team.
17:07Right?
17:08That's what we're going to show our viewers.
17:12That we were the ones in the Finals last year.
17:15This is the kind of game that you can see here.
17:18That's how they set the tone for this season.
17:24We can hear the LPU supporters behind us react.
17:32They're saying that there was a foul by Zane Almuena.
17:37San Pedro fans are saying that Montaño swung his elbow afterwards.
17:43Well, that's up to the referees of Commissioner Oji Pernarte to decide on what to give out here.
17:54They're both the same.
17:56Let's just go with the toss coin.
17:58Let's just go with the jump ball.
18:02So that no one will complain.
18:05I think that's fair, right?
18:06What a sight.
18:08This is the first NCAA men's basketball game here at the Mall of Asia Arena.
18:13Since December 10, 2023, Game 2 of the NCAA Season 99 Finals, San Pedro won that game.
18:2271-65 against the Mapua Cardinals to force that Game 3 which took place at the Araneta Arena.
18:2971-65 against the Mapua Cardinals to force that Game 3 which took place at the Araneta Coliseum.
18:37That's the golden game of the NCAA.
18:45But these are the kinds of games that are great to watch to start a season.
18:52Like this.
18:54Our referee is signaling for an unsportsmanlike foul.
18:58Then he pointed at Montaño.
19:08But he also called a regular foul on Zane Halbuena as Montaño went up for a shot.
19:15That's why he's going to take these free throws.
19:23Montaño! Montaño! Montaño!
19:28The referee is signaling foul on Zane.
19:32Montaño.
19:35Montaño.
19:37That's a twist. That's a spin to Montaño.
19:41With the report on Zane.
19:45Rafael Alfonso Albuera.
19:47And it's just a touchdown with the report on number 15, Rani Marcafe.
19:53So they were both called by an unsportsmanlike foul, Prince Criteria 1.
20:13First free throw, up and in for Montaño.
20:17So it's just a cancel out, right?
20:23The LPU crowd trying to get the Pirates back into it.
20:34Here's their defense again.
20:47This is crucial, Anton. Montaño will need this in the game.
20:51But he already has three fouls.
21:01Omar Gordon.
21:04Rookie, Phil Canadian.
21:06Wearing jersey number 22.
21:09Checks into the game for LPU.
21:15Zahonia.
21:18Nestasho. Calls out the play.
21:21Puno.
21:28Gordon with a steal.
21:33Villegas to Aviles.
21:40Villegas with a crossover, pulls up.
21:43Nestasho with the board.
21:52Smart play by Celso. He saw the mismatch.
21:55Of course, he maximized it by sealing Gordon.
22:03And we have a timeout for Julius Cueta.
22:07He calls it. His team is on top by 10.
22:22De Los Santos once again.
22:24De Los Santos navigating.
22:27Guilla flips it up and in.
22:29Plus the foul.
22:31Seven points now for Guilla.
22:33And a chance to add on to his total.
22:36Here's De Los Santos. In control, even in full speed, JV.
22:40Exactly, Martin. In control in Australia.
22:42De Los Santos, every time, every procession.
22:45We see it here. Not in a hurry, but very fast.
22:52Casino active.
22:55More LPU supporters here.
22:58And of course, we are looking at the San Beto side as well.
23:02Casinos, the germs, say yes to good vibes.
23:10The winningest basketball program in the collegiate level.
23:15San Beto.
23:17San Beto.
23:19Opening season, 100 of the NCAA against a first-timer
23:25in terms of hosting the tournament, the LPU Pirates.
23:40Luminance at 49 seconds remaining in the third.
23:47First miss from beyond the arc.
23:50Gets his own miss.
23:53And Coach Gilbert is beside himself.
23:56He could not believe that his players did not get that rebound.
24:16JV.
24:22He quickly moved to his corner.
24:26As the camera panned away.
24:29And went back to the action.
24:31Now you see me. Now you don't.
24:33He went from the free throw line to the paint.
24:36To the paint.
24:45Sohonya now with 17 points.
24:50A 17-point debut for Brian Sohonya.
24:56Barba.
24:59Villegas for three. No!
25:02And Celso comes up with the board.
25:07Sohonya for three.
25:10Oh!
25:12How good!
25:14Celso gives it back to Sohonya.
25:18Nine on the shot clock.
25:22And it was caught by Gordon.
25:25You know, the LPU will have a hard time
25:28if they don't get a one-shot permutation from San Beto.
25:32And kudos to San Beto.
25:34For going after their shots and grabbing those rebounds
25:38for a putback.
25:40If not a made putback, they get a foul.
25:44That's a big thing.
25:46We were talking about the kinds of players that
25:51this generation of student-athletes watch.
25:54What Sohonya did there.
25:56That's the triangle.
25:58Yes.
26:00It's different.
26:02It's different.
26:05The defender is caught.
26:08The one who suddenly stops.
26:10After the ball screen.
26:12After the ball screen.
26:14They call that a snake.
26:16Snake or cage.
26:18Great.
26:22And the accessibility of these players
26:25to watch basketball at any given time or place.
26:28They're always learning and absorbing
26:31the information to apply.
26:33Oh! Sohonya with a rejection.
26:43There's no better way to get a stump than that.
26:48Look at the timing.
26:50And the anticipation.
26:53Estacio jumped ahead.
26:56The offensive player thought he was free, but no.
26:59Sohonya was right there.
27:01Now you see me, now you don't.
27:03I'm right here.
27:05Both ends of the court, Prince.
27:07Yes.
27:09He is doing work.
27:13Jacob didn't make a mistake in choosing his replacement.
27:18Zanveda is in good hands.
27:21Estacio.
27:23And the bad news for the rest of the teams in the league is
27:27it's not just Sohonya.
27:29There are a lot of new recruits here.
27:34New red lions in the den.
27:38In Mendiola.
27:41I mentioned the new red lions.
27:45So far, our new players of Zanveda
27:48are showing great performance.
27:51But I'm still waiting for Puno to get a break.
27:55Oh yeah.
27:56I'm still waiting for the burst of the run.
28:01That will come from him.
28:03Because so far,
28:05he doesn't seem to have the rhythm yet.
28:09He hasn't gotten the rhythm yet.
28:11Again, he's one of the most double-doubled players in Zanveda's team.
28:16I'm still waiting to see Puno.
28:19Right now, Prince, he has only taken two shots.
28:22Has not converted a field goal.
28:24Only one point from the free throw line.
28:26He has seven rebounds.
28:28Maybe he'll just take the rebound first before the point.
28:32Albuena dribbles off of his leg.
28:35The ball will return to the LPU.
28:50Bravo. Playing with that injured spine
28:53as reported by Christine Sanagustin
28:56in the first quarter.
28:58Albuena!
29:03Barba.
29:08And another foul away from the ball.
29:19Right place at the right time.
29:24The style of play and personalities of the two point guards
29:30by Coach Yuri Escueta who played heavy minutes
29:34in this game.
29:36Gonzalez and Estacio.
29:38Yes, yes.
29:40They have two kinds of flavor whenever
29:44whoever is inside.
29:47And that's also very nice because Coach Yuri can play
29:50the rotation of the players around them.
29:53How it will be run and how it will be the base he wants.
30:14A lane violation.
30:21Another opportunity for JM Bravo.
30:36Sinks the free throw.
30:50Puno.
30:56Now you also see, Prince, that Puno is just letting the game come to him.
31:01He's not forcing things.
31:03Yeah, that's the thing.
31:05I just want to tell you that the seven rebounds that he has
31:08fell on him.
31:10But the attempts that he's not really looking for,
31:12that will come.
31:14And if there's something that I remember that my father always told me,
31:17that offense will come.
31:18Just do the intangible.
31:20Rebounds, defense.
31:22Eventually, the points will fall.
31:49Penapiel will be caught there.
32:0457-42.
32:0615 points.
32:10It doesn't matter.
32:12The fourth quarter is still long.
32:14A lot more can happen.
32:16And again, Coach Gilbert, when the fourth quarter comes,
32:20that's where Puno Prince will come out.
32:22That's where his suffocating press will come out.
32:25Full court press.
32:38Yup, definitely a swing of the forearm there.
32:4634.3 seconds remaining here in the third.
33:03A rematch between the two teams that faced off in the final four.
33:07Sandera overcoming that twice-to-beat advantage that LPU had
33:10And what was painful for LPU was that they fell from being
33:13second place at the end of the elimination round
33:16to fourth place, not making the podium
33:19because they lost in the battle for third to the Benilde Blazers.
33:27But it's a brand new start for them here in Season 100.
33:32At the end of the fourth quarter,
33:34Puno Prince will come out.
33:36And again, that's where his suffocating press will come out.
33:39At least in this season,
33:43this game can be their statement game.
33:47San Beda up by 15.
33:49End of third.
33:51Start of fourth.
33:53This is where you'll know the character.
33:56The character of a team.
33:58The culture of a team.
34:00And how willing they are to fight
34:05to get back the momentum and the lead.
34:29I think the last game,
34:30I...
34:32I went two na sya yung naglaro.
34:34He hit four out of five three-pointers.
34:36And it was all crucial.
34:38Hey, Enoch Valdez, former King Pirate.
34:41My idol, Enoch.
34:49I remember after
34:51playing in the final four for LPU,
34:54just a couple of days later, he was playing in the pros.
34:57And he had minutes right away.
35:00So quick, the turn of events.
35:03And that's part of life, my friend.
35:05That's part of life.
35:07And, you know, I'm just so glad
35:09to see the players who
35:12we were watching in college
35:15is now playing in the pros.
35:17And they're really doing well.
35:19And, you know,
35:21yung mga bagay na, oy,
35:23ako nag-cover ng game yan, ng college.
35:25Ngayon, ganda nang nilalaro sa pro.
35:27Sabi ko sa inyo, noon pa lang, magaling na yan.
35:31So, ganun na pala yung perspective mo, Prince Rivero, ha?
35:36Oh, yes.
35:38Yan yung kino-over ko sa kanila.
35:40Even though you're still an active player.
35:42Yes, yes, yes.
35:44And sometimes I even say that to my brothers.
35:46Like, oh, ito, kino-over lang kite.
35:48Tapos, ngayon, nasa ano ko na.
35:50Because what you used to say was,
35:52yan yung nakalaban ko noon.
35:54Yes, yes, yes.
35:56Hoy, nakalaban ko yan dati, ha.
35:58Kalaban ko lang yan, ha.
36:00Oh, yes.
36:03With that injured spine and all.
36:06Imagine playing through that.
36:09The fear.
36:11And kung may pain pa siya nanararamdaman.
36:13What if, what if.
36:16Grabe.
36:18Fighter na bata.
36:19Bata.
36:29Gets the first free throw to trickle in.
36:31And I have a question for you, Anton.
36:33What's that?
36:35Nabanggit mo kanina na may injury siya sa spine.
36:37Napaka-delikado.
36:40Ikaw, sa tingin mo?
36:42Smart choice?
36:44To push through it?
36:46You would have to go through multiple consultations with your doctor.
36:51And have multiple conversations with your family as well.
36:55And the coaching staff, which I'm sure he has been going through.
36:59Para makapag-decide kung maglalaro ba siya o hindi.
37:03And as we can see right here, that's his decision.
37:07Lalo na kung isa ka sa mga bailars ng team niyo.
37:10Parang ang hirap naman tanggapin na lahat ng pinaghirapan mo.
37:13Mababaliwala dahil may nararamdaman kang masakit.
37:20And that will do it for the third period.
37:23Santera still leads LPU 59 to 44.
37:27You're watching Opening Day of NCAA Season 100.
37:43Summer, summer.
