small forward from Nakabbe Pampanga number 16 Janelle Policardio power forward from Lapu Lapo City number 18 JB Bajo small forward from Bakalor Pampanga number 24 Joshua Monzon power forward from Balibago an city pampanga number 17 Calvin Aeva has only suited up four times but he will always be an important asset because of his athleticism his length and of course his ability to score inside the paint They set up you and you delivers a three It is imperative for the guards of Northport to contribute especially when somebody tries to penetrate Aba would love to penetrate Monson would love to penetrate The tendency of the defense is to collapse Shooters must always make shots from downtown Ramirez well he ties things up at a three of his own What he has shown is you cannot sag off him because of his range from the outside 25% shooter from the three-point area That is nine out of 37 A team that has more losses than wins So for Calvin Abueva I expect him really to lead in the next conference Up and under move there for Poly Carpio And this is going to be the So Monzon will set things up here They go inside and Cade Flores delivers He’s got four points Good execution once again If you’ve given an open look from the outside he can knock it in from the perimeter of a dribble pullup It’s almost automatic for Sai He gets a steal Look at this He finds Poly Carpio with a touchdown that looking for space That’s nice movement without the basketball for Calvin 0 for two from three-point distance It’s a threeon-one fast break Nava finishes strong That is the strength of Calvin Ava He’s a big man but he has got the ability to dribble the length of the court and will make a good decision especially on the break Well he’s showing everybody he’s still got a lot of miles Yes he had 18 points in their previous game And good eye in the sky play between the two big guys of coach Jung Bajo issuing and Bolick will try to push Finds Ramirez That’s an easy two Great look once again Bolic finding his teammate underneath the basket One of the main reasons why they’re doing so well Here’s Balansa Nice sidest stepping move Instant offense here for Jerick Those are two veterans now on this squad of Northport And here’s Abuva Gets away for two And that is the brilliance of Calvin Abuva He was up against a smaller defender He posted up Kevin Alas Now he feels like he has a quick witness advantage against the people In his words it has been quite some time since he’s last kind had that kind of opportunity So he just wanted to go with the flow Admittedly he knows that he’s bound to lead this team but he says he’s still trying to get a feel of how to build chemistry with the other guys It’s not easy to accomplish that with a short time he has this conference So instead he’s looking forward to the next where he’s hopeful that he can make a mark Gentlemen back to you Well as you say building blocks for the future Really that’s what they’re trying to do here for their final two games Alalon finds Kappa Kappa can hit from there Goes to Sydney Alalon inside challenges and scores here in quarter number one Alas to the wing Ramirez extra pass gets it right back Puts up a three and hits Very unselfish play by Brandon Ramirez They’ll go to the half court set and again using a lot of movement And not the best of passes there Another steal by he finds Bulanady JB will go inside Torres side stepping move Bollock it for three Yes Sensational ball movement once again Speeds their halal Allalon Look at his ball movement again That was the last pass Cyro Torres went baseline defense of uh Northport Let’s go to Eileen Gentlemen even at the start of the conference Robert Bolik has managed to make it clear that his priority was helping his teammates realize that if he can deliver is still down He’s being held up But Calvin doing a lot of good things It’s turning out to be a very interesting series between two small market teams Exactly Indiana versus OKC Especially after the Pacers stole game one Kade Flores now with an inside incursion He’s got a total of eight Torres still on the outside Shot clock at seven Extra pass There were clearly was a foul there Again Poly Carpio This guy can sky And what about the quick extra pass by Valdez to the streaking Janelle Polyarpio look at that froze his defender issued that great assist JB Nice find inside [Applause] It is just a joy to watch giving up a good shot for another player It’s better basket That is essentially the best way to describe this team Look at that Bayo was ready to launch it Shot clock is down to three JB extra pass That’s going to count And again in the nick of time guess who made that pass again bajillo who was not squared up to take that shot He made an extra pass to Valdez And Valdez was able to knock it in Branu delivers a three Steel It’s a four in one break The beast They kick it out Open three Bang Wow Poly Carpy holding on to that ball first Feels he’s got the mismatch but he blows that layup inside Uu Comes away with it again Look at the pace Puts up a quick three and hits Oh this guy is a very streaky shooter He’s got three three-pointers across his name all in the third quarter He’s not afraid to shoot Oh yes In transition with a guy on his face he weaves off his teammates if he wants that space And speaking of just oozing with so much confidence with a guy on his face great challenge by on No problem for Robert Bolik Another three for him Monzone says “I can do the same thing.” And all of a sudden we have a ball game Are set to check in And that’s that’s begun since the opening tip An accurate shooting from the outside especially from this guy Now he decided to dish off to his teammate Danny Kapa He was a recipient as if he gets things done Now back to you gentlemen And they want the victory here That’s for sure That you’re able to earn as much as you possibly can right before that long break Ramirez inside gets denied by on Sydney showing his strength inside They look for the secondary break and on Wubber’s hurt I thought Kappa wanted to get into the Rickona act inside once again Kade Flores road warriors definitely unhappy with the way they’re playing defense A lot of inside incursions paint points really is a strong suit right now for Northport And speaking of paint points just doing something that is different Every time you guard Hernand you feel like you just have to step on the 14 seconds on her shot clock once again Again getting away Wow Flores That was a very strong pass But before that welltimed and for most of the time here in the third quarter and now up by eight points What a big turn around here They find him inside again Kate Flores scores with a left Another and look at Golanas again finding that tiny opening to issue that Torres will put up a long one That was for four Long rebound They find Bajo short in that one You could see he pulled the string Usually a makeable basket Ooh that should have been an easy two Poly Carpio says this is the way to do it as he draws a foul there Just showing his Torres will find Poly Carpio There’s a major mismatch there tire and he the number one team at the end of the elimination round But just by saying that I feel like they still don’t have the right to play lacadasical basketball and thinking that the mere fact that they show up they’re going to win the game The biggest number here that I feel like they lack the effort is fast break points 22 fast break points for Northport and only 10 for uh and Lex So the issue is really transition defense more than anything Bolik was trailing there and he’s going to get the two points Now a massive detonation just happened 17 points for Fran Yu and we still have over 8 minutes remaining in the game It couldn’t have happened at a better time for Northport as they’re desperate for victories right but well it’s now or never as far as they’re concerned Franu puts up a three At the right place at the right time and Kate Flores really just scrapping for his points Oh Flores is just outworking anybody Brandon Ramirez Polycarpio even Bajillo Ramirez wanting to uh exact revenge and he did that magnificently with his perimeter J Coach Jong egging his boys to rebound Let’s see if they can follow his instructions here Nelly looking for space Franu with a circus shot Just put that one up Look at that Franu offbalanced but still was able to launch it Nice rebound by Flores Here’s Nelly Touch passing and the Beast delivers Chalk up on other two points via the transition for Northport Again you begin to ask where is the transition defense of the Road Warriors Plus another assist Ramirez bullies his way inside If they are going to come back and if they are going to launch it it has to happen now They have to make multiple stops Right now we’re talking about the Road Warriors They’re still facing an eight-point disadvantage [Applause] Nelly gets away for two Nelly probably one of the smallest backcourt tandem here in the PBA We’re talking about Nelly and Franu but Torres trying to take advantage of his height and delivers That’s just great skill set done by Torres First he glanced at the shot clock seeing that he cannot make an extra pass Might as well do it myself And he made it Nelly left wide open makes the defense pay Oh exceptional shooting from downtown for Northport here in this game Torres delivers backto- back baskets Look at the steals 13-6 in favor of the Batang Pierre Berto gets away for two Still a lot of time left Only a two possession advantage for Northport The coaches of uh Enlex egging their players to play tougher defense They need to make a stop here right now Munan finds Nelly Nelly with a jumper Yes another clean look Wide open jumper and misfire once again This could be big H Hearnen hits Massive basket by Hearnen Use some clock Four-point basket by H Hearnden for two He can do a lot of things inside Enlex needs to score here Air for three but Enoch there at the right place at the right time [Music] Monzone will push it forward Flores left wide open [Applause] Oh yes they tried to trap get him back in the ball game As you said he has been very critical to giving them this lead Where is his replacement jersey possible Halalon will try to attack inside Kicks it back out Franu inside gets away with the layup And that has been the story Lack of interior defense by the road warriors Can you imagine Fran Yu the smallest man inside the court right now was able to weave through traffic and definitely looking for a four-point shot here will be the Road Warriors They set up Hearnen Well they got the play and there’s going to be a foul to Flores Flores Flores and Monson was fouled But but it should have been avoided if the referee did not hand him the ball Should have been an easier thing But Hearnon a two possession ball game [Applause]
