Proud with our Team Gilas Pilipinas 🫡🇵🇭
Competing against New Zealand and Australia is not only a good experience but a real test to the standards of our program.
Gilas doesn't only represent us, but showcased our Philippine brand of basketball. We've done alot of adjustments but the international standard is far from what we currently have.
As a fan, we are slowly adapting and slowly maturing, but we have to use the same international strategies and same type of players to move forward.
We need pure shooters in the roster, 2 way players (who can do offense and defense), and a better play maker (who can create, has the size, and make decisions under pressure). Our bigs and wings are already there the system works but we need more openings, accurate, efficient, and easy shots. As well with our defense, we need to learn better man to man and how to make good defensive adjustments against ball screens and pick and rolls.
None the less a good learning experience not only to the coaching staff of Gilas Pilipinas but a realization to the thousands of coaches in the Philippines. Creating action plans to teach and implement in the grassroots program to make our players internationally ready and capable. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
