FIBA-Asia championships hindi lang China at Iran ang aabangan
MANILA, Philippines - Bukod sa nagdedepensang China at two-time champion Iran, inaasahan ding makikipagsabayan ang Gilas Pilipinas sa Jordan, South Korea, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Japan at Chinese Taipei sa 27th FIBA-Asia Men’s Championships.
Para kay Gilas coach Chot Reyes, paborito pa rin ang China at Iran sa torneong nakatakda sa Agosto 1-11 na lalaruin sa MOA Arena sa Pasay at sa Ninoy Aquino Stadium sa Manila.
“Obviously, Iran and China are head and shoulder above anybody else in the competition. And I think we’re in equal footing with Korea, Jordan, Qatar and KazakhsÂtan,†wika ni Reyes.
“I’m not overlooking Japan and Chinese Taipei. Taipei is now really strong because of Quincy Davis. They’re like Kazakhstan which has become a lot better because of the addition of a player (naturalized point guard Jerry Johnson) that they need,†dagdag pa ng mentor.
Sinabi pa ni Reyes ang Gilas , Korea, Jordan, Qatar, Kazakhstan, Japan at Chinese Taipei ay ang mga koponang maaaring tumalo sa isa’t isa.
Kung gusto ng Gilas na makabawi sa kanilang fourth-place finish sa nakaraang Asian championship, dapat talunin ng Nationals ang mga Koreans, Jordanians, Qataris, Kazakhs, Japanese at Taiwanese.
