1. They are very young players (average of 22 Yrs. Old) and because of that, they don't have experience in some professional basketball leagues like the FIBA or the PBA itself.
2. They didn't have any chance to at least have a game with other countries (like a scrimmage just to have more experience). Most of the time they are just practicing themselves.
In reality, they will not win against SoKor if they didn't have a good chemistry and at the same time a good coach. The future of Gilas is very bright with these young and talented players. I believe though that this experience will help them to shape to be a better one in the future.
On the other hand, I saw a video on Youtube saying that the win of Gilas against South Korea was just a luck. The Coach of SoKor said that we just won because of luck because we have the buzzer beater that made Gilas win and quality. What are your takeaways with this?
