B. League feels like a league that was formed by Jimmy Alapag fans. LOL.
All their PGs are in his mold.

Nah, it wasn't just for a day. The thing missing for them was a world cup win and now they have it, and against a highly ranked team at that.
Now they have nba players, D1 players, a growing pro league and a world cup win.
More than that, they have a direction for their system that they can continue to build on. It won't suddenly go away and bring them back to zero even if they lose their next games.
But B league favors the local small guards. And until I see the game I cant remove the possibility of hometown calls helping JP. We had a lot of hometown calls trying to help us against Angola. We were just too bad to take advantage.

At the end of the day, our players still deserve our support and gratitude. Most of them sacrificed for this tournament. They're competing, getting punched, risking injury, etc. and all of them are trying their best to win.
For their sake, I hope the game against Italy will still be respectable for them.

Everytime they come from a demoralizing loss or even after a big win (Korea 2013), they lose the succeeding games in lackluster performances.
For a so-called professional insipirational speaker, Choke can't inspire his players to bounce back.

I still think that Japeth and Edu should start. We try to avoid C minutes for Edu. But probably we cant avoid that here. So Edu, Japeth and Malonzo will be our main rotation bigs. Please watch out for Pogoy cheating on D. And please more CJ minutes.

One thing you should know about the Japanese. They dont reinvent the wheel. After opening to the West they identified the best sources of technologies and adapted them. That is probably with their basketball. Why create a new system. Find an effective system that you can work with and adapt it.

Whether or not Euro ball is fit for Japan and Korea, do they have a choice? They don't have that many mixed bloods to make them athletic. They don't have the height of the Chinese either. They are late to the scene and they are not gifted with street ball diskarte like we are. This means the only kind of system they can imitate is Euroball which compensates their lack of height, muscles and athleticism.

i dont think out guards are fast enough to cover the perimeter while our frontcourt of Kai JMF and Japeth will get abused by Italia’s drives

As I have said in the other thread, Italy's shooting had been dreadful for their first two games. Will the law of averages work this time around?
I don't like Gilas' chances tbh. The moment they lost to Angola, that's it. This will be a tall task that ultimately CCR can't overcome

I read Gilas needs to beat Italy by 13 points and hope Angola loses to DR for them to advance in the next round.
Add to that that their coach got thrown out last game when they lost to DR. Expect them to play fired up. We have to match that intensity or risk getting blown out.
If Angola can get open threes against us, Italy who has more shooters and more plays will be doubly hard to defend.

I just dont want to see even a second of zone defense. Just my only wish list.
