Philippines Senior National Team Thread Vol. III

[interxavierxxx]

It's funny how Filipinos are reacting to our losses as if we just finished last place in the Asian Championships. Is this how sensitive we really are to losing?

The only one who gets that Rio ticket is the gold medalist. How many people were honestly expecting us to get that far?

Move on and play better next time. It's as simple as that.

We need a wingman like Osman in Turkey who can drive without fear

Paras has the potential to be that guy.

In the past, that could have been DannyS, too bad he always gets hurt whenever there's international competition

Not everything is doom-and-gloom for the Pinoy national team. We already know that tiny PBA guards are more than a match for the Chinese, Iranians and South Koreans, but are outscored twice easily at world-class competitions. We already know we can produce a team that matches the size and speed of the winning New Zealand team, which is actually small by world standards.

What is missing is the discipline to impose quality standards on PBA players. PBA coaches and trainers only require them to win the occasional championship that already pays for at least the next two years. What you need for international competition is a lot more than what the PBA requires from its players.

You probably need a lot more coaches like Yeng Guiao crossed with Duterte, without the cuss words. PBA players were never required to meet world standards, and that is why they will always keep on failing fans when they meet world class fighters. A PBA or national coach has to put the fear of God in prospective PBA and national players that he will personally destroy their career if they do not put in the long hours for quality conditioning and practice required to run faster, jump higher, defend better, shoot better, and be less stupid than the best opposing players in the PBA. A national coach does not have to inspire respect. Abject fear always work for at-risk ten-year-max "endo" livelihoods in the PBA. At par with the government's TESDA training, coaches and players must pass evidence-based examination of their quality as trainors and trainees.

sadly gilas 4 don't have the personnel to consummate a good pass. romeo never elected to give a backdoor pass to the cutting parks. castro while dribbling didn't notice at all the wide open chan. even the simplest entry pass to the post is an adventure.

while there should be emphasis on passing, it depends on the personnel as well (good luck when romeo becomes our lead guard). but yes, this should be an emphasis in future generations of gilas.

This can be fixed by longer preparation and more practise games together working as a team.....problem lang is PBA

Would our tiny PBA guards be more than a match for the Chinese, Iranians and South Koreans without a Blatche? For sure, Blatche is more than a match for the Chinese, Iranians and South Koreans big guys.

Do you know which PRC, IRI SOKOR guards destroyed Castro and Romeo, as in easily outscoring them the way France and New Zealand did? Tenorio can even perform well against these Asian countries. As for Blatche, he is getting long in the tooth now. He may have greater difficulty scoring against these countries, particularly if they use the instructive videos on the French and Kiwi games which clearly show the how-tos for forcing Blatche away from his comfort zones.
