2023 FIBA Asia u16 Championship

  • Thread starter Thread starter Silent Killer2
  • Start date Start date
PHL had 23 offensive rebounds, while Korea grabbed 22 defensive rebounds. ​
 
The boys are playing better D by the day. Saw that spark in the Kazakhstan game and we saw it again last night. I think if we harness that D we have shown we can play, Japan is beatable.
 
A rather unusual pinoy youth team. It can do 3-point bombing, and has decent defense. But u16 kids balling can never be comparable to men's balling. Our team performs well for its size. It will be sorely tested against a much bigger team like australia, or even new zealand. Against those two physically better teams, we can find out whether the coach is not just for show. The last big team we had, the edu-sotto group was still a more competitive team. Edu of course had his legs down him.

I dont think that the japanese team can beat ours. They are too small. Our boys are quicker on defense too. With consistent play like the one shown against korea, this team is plus 10-20 against our nt.

Thank U coach Josh for proving me wrong last night.
Please prove me wrong once again tonight. I'll be very very happy to be proven wrong.

Korea seemed they like their chances if they finished 3rd in their group, which they did. Jordan finished second and will face the Aussies in the QF. PHL bracket, on paper, is easier than Jordan's. PHL will face Japan in the QF.

The basketball gods are angry on tankers.

Jordan's route seem easier than that of Pinoys as Jordan only has Malaysia to beat in the qualification to the quarterfinals (though the game vs. Malaysia was close). But Jordan is facing mighty Australia in the quarterfinals in which it has almost zero chance of winning.

I think it's obvious Korea deliberately loss its game vs. Jordan thinking that it has a good chance of beating the Phi in the qualification to the quarterfinals thus setting up a lighter quarterfinal match up with Japan instead of mighty Australia.

But such gamble backfired.

​​​​​Congratulations to Philippines U16 team for dominant win 95-71. They were more talented and better athleticism. If there is consolation, our players can learn from Philippine better guards in the game tape to help them improve.​

We had problems with your full court press. I think our guards learned more from your guards.

Thank you but our pressure defense never really mattered in the game. What I like in Philippine U16 team is their ability to play no position basketball and the guards crash boards. It will be good if Edi Daniel and the rest of our players study the game carefully.

Congrats for the win, first time to win vs Korea in U-16 competition. 5 boys scored in double figures, and team registered 26 assists. Very Un-Reyes like. Good job, Josh's assistants. LOL

Good luck vs Japan

Problem with running a full court press non-stop: your players get burned out.

Especially if they are U16 with bodies not yet fully developed.
 
I just watched the SK game and we were pretty good. Any victory against SK is appreciated specially a pretty good blowout. I think we led them by almost 20 since the first.

The boys are pretty good switchable defenders. On offense they are pretty good to watch. Most guys can drive and shoot.

The press of SK was easily defeated by letting that Daja kid help the guard. He plays PF but is a pretty good decision maker when bringing up the ball. I like this kid. Seems to be another long armed undersized big but versatile. Has that one hander but seems to be a decent 3 pt shooter.

For a moment I liked the 7 Ludovice guy. For a bunch of possessions he looked like Steph. Drive, pass, relocate, bang. It was like 5 possessions that he couldnt miss from 3 except when he was undercutted. However, he missed all his shots on the right side of the court.

Talking about boy dribble, we have no. 11 Velasquez. He had some good plays but also many times he drove into nowhere.

Overall though the guys did well. Their team defense is spot on. I was really surprised that we could defeat a Korean team that well.

Boy dribble Velasquez tho did Daniel Edi a 1v1 nasty with a jab, move, cross, drive, pull up swish to end the 3rd Quarter. Edi threw the ball after the buzzer sounded out of frustration

Yeah. As I said, he seems to be the latest of lanky homegrown forwards with long arms who like one handers. The difference is that he seems to be decent at 3 and is good enough to help bring up the ball when the PG is trapped. I think he's ability to break SK's press was instrumental in our breaking their defense.
