Such a great game by Gilas. It wasn't all about Brownlee tonight; it was a total team effort. What I like about Gilas here is the defense.
Coach Tim Cone, the best coach in Asia. I'm just so happy tonight. FINALLY!
History has been made the gold medal drought for has been eliminated, we can see how those guys put a lot of effort to win this game and huge credit to Philippines and their coaching staff to win a championship this Asian games. But road to became a champion is not easy since we see Jordan gives a good fight but they came up short on the last quarter that's why they got defeated by Philippines. For sure now many basketball fans can understand that we need to change the coaching system of Philippines and not they see the result so for sure pinoy basketball fans is celebrating for this win. But I wonder if Chot Reyes is happy with this win since he might provably be compared to the new coach and fans will call him a total failure.
The advantage was on our side in that game because Gilas had already seen the type of play Jordan would bring. On Jordan's side, they didn't have to change much since their victory in their first meeting was quite impressive. It seemed like the Ginebra defense was employed in that game, and they might have been surprised by how physical we were. Since their three-point shots weren't falling, it disrupted their rhythm.
Indeed, we made history - it was the first time we reached the Finals and won the gold at the same time.
