There will be no rest for the weary as far as Gilas Pilipinas is concerned, with only a few days to go before the FIBA Basketball World Cup commences at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
Asked whether he will consider giving his players a break after three grueling tune-up games — the third against Mexico on Monday night, Aug. 21 —Gilas coach Chot Reyes shook his head.
Indications are that Reyes will be exhausting his remaining pre-World Cup team practices starting Tuesday to further sharpen the team’s game before submitting his Final 12 lineup at the Managers’ Meeting on August 23 or 24. Two wins out of three could merit the Philippines passage to the second round of the Group Phase where the top two teams from the bracket that contains South Sudan, China, Puerto Rico and Serbia await.
“They have Towns and that other guy, [Lester] Quiñones,” said Reyes. “They are very good. The game against Spain was close [up to the third quarter].”
