SAN MIGUEL vs MERALCO | FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | PBA SEASON 48 PHILIPPINE CUP | JUNE 5, 2024

shooting guard from autista pan number 77 CJ Perez shooting guard from p in loc start and number 11 Chris n the first thing of note is how they will defend against junar and for sure he will get a lot of different looks but that that’s the worst thing that can happen junar getting the ball inside the paint where he can just turn around and shoot the basketball Layon has to do a better job in pushing him outside the paint there are only two teams that were able to defeat the San Miguel Beerman in this entire conference one of them the meal bolts winning the last game of the elimination round campaign for the San Miguel Beerman bongino enters back with a mid-range J and to me that was the game that turned around the season ofal they were even three and five at one point in this conference but that win against the beeran probably gave them the belief that they can go all the way to the finals which now they three-point shot coming from CJ Perez confidence heading into this finals because it’s very hard to be beat Team cone in a seven game series so this not just the players but the coaching staff as well will feel good entering into this finals the best finisher in the PBA gets a stop it’s fantastic on the offensive end G one one Ste and he’s there on the other side and he can finish in a variety of ways something that you cannot do if you are the milal B and now Jun Mah again single coverage easy does it for Jun Mah that’s another bucket he has a quick burst of six points in the match let’s see how longal will allow this coach Luigi will allow this single cin junar because junar is feasting out there 11 to do is the count six points for junar five for CJ perz as B launches from way downtown he rattles it home and he has been huge all throughout the playoffs displ one more time and he was pushed beyond the three-point line that was a couple of steps away from Chris banero as he loses the ball to Chris Ross and now s SMP On The Run bral block by bits that’s the kind of hustle you want from your rookie Brandon bit andalo with a great response here after the Good Start of San Miguel early grip showing the willingness to run on both ends of the floor jar sends it out to CJ defense goes under and he punish them quickly with a three and you mentioned that in BL three-point shot of CJ before going under CJ peris every coach probably the league would do that but not anymore that is an inclov three-point shooter there for you Maliki shoots one over the defense of junar but look looking at the numbers here Miguel eight points from Perez six points from Fardo I I think this is the game plan of miralo here let the two guys play out we won’t double team we won’t help at least not yet contano with the fly by don’t deny by Brandon Bates two blocks early in this match defensive end here’s Bates with another Alco within two good match up here between trano another block for bit so three in the first quarter after six in game seven in the first quarter and and you know why that is impressive Cruz big time has advantage against Karam Jericho sneaky pass there it is the extra pass to do more that’s exactly what you were saying uh Carla Bates is going to help if you get inside that paint and to allow the defense to just beer away from him that will be another stop another turnover against miralo bolts counter steel though for miralo quickly ahead Karam scores on the [Applause] layup kamam on the move the layup is good against eniso one of the best backup point guards in the league Anjo Karam with four points Off the Bench he is the microwave of baralo quick offense is expected every time he’s on the floor Cruz shovel pass JT one hander no goano second effort is Mone of the [Applause] [Music] back good exchanges in the opening minutes of your second quarter as we thank you once again for joining us on TV rush and Filipinas live another three-point shot it’s good for Chris Bano explosive first half scoring already with 10 he has done pretty much every light here on the offensive end except for those missed the free [Music] throws Jericho Cruz counters with his own three three points that’s five points off the bench for Cru if there was if there’s a six man of the year I would my vote would be either Cru of yeah and it’s just fitting that it’s two players coming from uh the same team this loaded San Miguel Beer Squad here’s the other guy Toano Advantage Toano but look at this nice move coming from freezes uh Kinto back in the ball game posting up against Marcio lter Kinto another mid-range look is good again that’s the nice thing about bongino he can create off the dble but he can also do it in the low post against Marshall ler who is not a bad Defender good good pass to toua as he just bangs against rayar Jose for a look inside just to St and slow down the offensive production of this Mighty beeran but coach Ryan can you say that raymon almazan will have to become a factor offensively as well to help out Chris banero and their other guards because San Miguel has now built a double digit lead oh the challenge is every time you play San Miguel and junar Fardo to be exact you want him to be outside the Shaded Lane so the big men must have the Acy to shoot from the three-point area they did it two times a three-point shot by Alazan which he missed and the following shot was a shot by Jose which he also missed so it’s imperative for the big man of miralo to shoot consistently from the outside just to make sure that they bring out the defensive tentacles of jun marah Hardo finally making his first basket of the ball game with the mid-range look thank you so much coach Ryan we will hear your thoughts again a little later on three-point shot from Chris L could not locate him and the battle for the ball will be picked up by Cruz martio from way downt that’s good for three and all Marshall needed was making his first field goal in that was a long CLE coming from Marsh they had 11 on the shot lock it was four steps away from the three-point range but that was a good shot nonetheless from Mario Al gets it right back three points this is why Alain Maliki is very important a steal here by Kinto B Stops Another mid-range look now good bronal with the board and now SMB is off and running Marcio with a h martio gets the end one and he took it early enough San Miguel’s going to get the ball back so excellent two for one opportunity here from San Miguel dominance in Second Chance points as well and that’s why San Miguel’s on top right now that will be an n one for Chris Nome as he got Marcio liter to bite on that big here in the second half is CJ Perez having four personal fouls four fouls on CJ will force him to miss and what you’re seeing from the Bulls is that you’ve limited SMB to zero points in the first two and half and now you take the lane with his BTO three-point shot the nine to nothing run a very good three-point shooting team but they make a couple of three-pointers here to chance to retake the lead for the San Miguel Beerman oh good pass bral seeing that his initial Defender floated to help junar vardo but to me that can’t happen if you’re miralo you cannot put a lot of emphasis on Chris Ross when he’s posting up you want him to be a [Music] scer 5553 nuam hounded Nome breaks free and gets the layup with a foul Chris now with 10 points in the game attacking against Chris Ross this best move of the game is brought you by Honda the official motorcycle doome using the screen Mario recovering Nome beats him with another mid-range look [Music] first the tight trap because Jun malardo was uh in drop coverage work in their favor tight game at 64 a piece tough jumper coming from aane Maliki but he takes it right between the eyes of moto Tua so this third quarter feeling a little bit like the first quarter when it was the miralo defense that was controlling the face of the game they’ve only allowed 13 points so far coming from the San Miguel Beerman Ando Karam pushing leaves it for Alaine back to Karam not forcing it they go inside to mil for two here’s that last play by Maliki against mot Tua advantage and then in in transition look at the red CJ Perez on the Move CJ attacks the layup is [Applause] good that is way too much time for you to give to some someone like CJ Perez emergency pass they find the corner and sees over three won’t work almazan Taps it over to Bonito Karam is ahead Anjo is gone now that’s the right guy to find in a fast PL Anjo kamam is going to be a lot of CJ palis here in the beginning of the third quarter without falo into the game oh that’s a lot of space given by Cliff H got caught with that screen from Dono here’s that last play of the handle look work into is that is no way to defend Marshall ler and Marshall makes them fighting for position inside gives the screen there CJ blows by his first Defender but misses the layup Counterattack here for miralo CB leaves it for Raymond Almaz Lup is go not really having an advantage here inside the paint against cliff hjge on the second effort that is money for glyph Hodge and that brings the lead back to the maaga B [Music] [Applause] [Music] 7775 and seesaw gets the step Simon oh hesitant and aong kto is ahead Kinto SLA at home not challenging Kinto who will Sky High for the slam DTS up by four timeout mazan jumper no good Nome blocked from behind by [Applause] Mario banero has it top of the key uses the screen from bats bats on the roll bit lay up and one against goodar what a move here very mobile move very balanced athletic move here coming from Brandon Bates as banero gets the ball off the hand of CB with a free pass to the lane peralo doing enough to keep their heads above water banero the pass to almazan Raymond connects what a game as well here coming from Chris Bano no hesitation on the attack back to a six-point Advantage as he just passed the Midway Mark now of the fourth and final quarter of action junar gets position inside tremendous high low big to Big pass coming from mot Dua Beerman will do to you even if you have momentum they will do just enough CJ flip shot no good rebound Noami is pushing not enough bodies running back on defense new hits the layup that’s just smart basketball coming and finally SM SMB gets a stop Cruz loses the ball to N Sub nno to CB lay is go [Applause] making up for it on the other side Nome hijacking that Jero Cruz possession quickly forward where will their offense go they took out motoa once again to go back to Donan at the four CJ with a breakaway hits the [Music] layup much needed basket coming from the apex predator of the PBA to cut their deficit to six and and Coach George G play now playing his best offensive lineup since he was down eight points almazan hesitated Let it Fly and converts Maliki leaves it for Nome he wants a three won’t get it rebound goes in that will be credited to Chris Bano for two been losing in this battle all game long another missed outside shot but this time it’s Bano getting it over trano Advantage no CJ Perez on the floor for Coach George Gallen they need a big one trano delivers a three-point shot but with only 8 seconds remaining boy what a performance coming from the metalico bolts as Jericho misses the layup hge grabs one last rebound and that will be the end of game number one the defending Champions are beating
