A place in the FIBA Asia Cup quarterfinals is up for grabs as Gilas Pilipinas faces Japan in a knockout playoff.
MANILA, Philippines – It will take a great deal of focus as Gilas Pilipinas seeks to beat Japan to barge into the quarterfinals of the FIBA Asia Cup.
Compared to New Zealand, Japan plays a faster-paced offense, which generates a tournament-leading 97.7 points per game.But the primary concern against the Japanese is their three-point shooting as they average 16.7 triples on an efficient 41% clip. That single game performance alone nearly matched the Philippines’ total three-pointers made in the entire tournament, which is 28 treys.
“We told the players that they have to get rest because we need a lot of energy and all of our quickness to stay with Japan.”
