Finally, coachot stopped his tiresome bloviating for a week. Beating italy and dominican republic will require spartan, high-certainty plays.
The coaching team should revisit the china videos. The stupid gilas turnovers and risky passes are preventable. The scoring mentality blackouts likewise must be squeezed out, as these coaching lapses are very deadly against top 20 national teams. Sotto quick inside hammer plays, clarkson perimeter shooting, and abando -- already reliably confident due to kbl championship plays -- or aj high-percentage powerful inside attacks must be deliberately and automatically set the moment a minute scoring drought passes.
The remaining pool candidates are good two-way players. But separate hard, quick rotating, and very tight defense sets and gang rebounding must be practiced, as preventing italy, drc and angola from scoring for two minutes at a time is a must. It is very important also for ALL the bigs to smoothly switch to, or double up, c and pf/sf last-line defense in the shaded lane to prevent easy inside scoring.
Even with these few offensive and defensive risk reduction corrections, the team should be able to win the scrimmages against good teams like montenegro and mexico.
