KAHIT hindi makalalaro ang karibal na Korea team, ‘all business’ ang Gilas Pilipinas sa February window ng 2023 Fiba World Cup Asian Qualifiers sa bubble format sa Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Giit ni national men’s basketball team head coach Chot Reyes, bawat laro ay mahalaga.
“We’re keeping the preparation up and our minds on the task at hand. That’s just as important.It doesn’t matter who we’re playing,” aniya.
“Remember, we’re building for 2023, we’re not building for this window alone. We’re building for the long haul so you’ve got to make sure that you can continue to discipline your minds and especially your emotions,” dagdag ni Reyes.
Bitbit ng Gilas ang 18-4 win-loss sa head-to-head kontra India, na namayani sa huling paghaharap nila noong 2016 Fiba Asia Challenge sa Tehran, Iran.
Sa nasabing game ay nanalo ang India kontra Pilipinas, 91-83, sa pangunguna ni Amjyot Singh na nagtala ng 24 puntos at 18 rebounds.
Plano ni Reyes na pagurin ang players ng India sa pakikipagharap sa mas batang Gilas squad ngayong (Biyernes) 6pm sa Big Dome. (ANN ENCARNACION)
