That was truly a big win, a historic moment as it marked the first time the Philippines defeated New Zealand. Now, the question is, what’s next for Gilas? If I were to choose, I’d like to see them take on Australia. This team has a history of dominating us, even sparking a brawl on our home court in the past, something we definitely don’t want to see again. I’m not sure when they’ll face each other next, but I hope the current Gilas lineup can rise to the occasion and give Australia a serious challenge.
This qualifying games scheduled for NZ and Hongkong if I remember it right, they might meet again after we secure our spot to the next round, those where the days when Gilas is more on puso and experienced, very far from the current squads where competition at is best and everyone are really showing their skills when given the chance to play inside the court.
And knowing coach Tim, the chance of beating AU is no longer a dream, we do have the caliber players who can compete though still dominance in terms of stats but given that chance, Gilas may give them pain in the ass.
