MANILA, Philippines — Pumalag muna ang Gilas Pilipinas bago isuko ang 73-84 kabiguan sa kamay ng Turkey sa unang tuneup game nito sa Europe na ginanap sa Istanbul, Turkey.

Ito ang unang pagsa­lang ng Gilas Pilipinas sa da­lawang friendly games nito na bahagi ng pagha­handa para sa FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament.

Lamang ang Turkey ng 10 puntos sa huling kanto ng laban.

Subalit hindi agad bu­mi­taw ang Gilas Pilipinas nang pamunuan ni natura­lized player Justin Brownlee ang 11-2 atake para ma­kalapit sa 66-68.

Subalit rumesbak ang Tur­key na naglatag ng sa­­riling 16-7 bomba para ma­­kalayo at tuluyan nang makuha ang panalo.

Nagkasya lamang sa limang three-pointers ang Gilas Pilipinas mula sa 17 attempts nito — malayo sa 14 triples na nagawa ng Turkey.

Nanguna para sa Gilas Pilipinas si Brownlee na may 21 points, habang nagdagdag si seven-time PBA Most Valuable Player June Mar Fajardo ng double-double output na 17 points at 10 boards.

“It was a tough loss against Turkey. We had our first taste of the type of opposition we will be facing in the OQT,” wika ni Gilas team manager Richard Del Rosario.

Bumandera naman pa­ra sa Turkey si Bosnian-Turkish gunner Tarik Bibe­rovic na may 23 points tampok ang limang tres.

“While others may see it as a satisfying first game, our team mindset is - almost is not enough. We only have one shot at make it to the Olympics and we cannot be satisfied with almost winning,” dagdag ni Del Rosario.

Sunod na makakaha­rap ng Gilas Pilipinas ang Po­land para sa huling tuneup game.
