Hope we can see Jordan Clarkson and Kobe Paras team up in Gilas Pilipinas soon!
a akin, mga PBA PLAYERS natin kung titingnan mo mas magaling pa kesa sa ibang bansa. Kaya nga nilang talunin na mas malaki pa sa kanila, magaling talaga sila. Umabot nga sila sa final nuon sa Fiba Asia Cup so kaya nila. Nandon na sila, bou na sila, ang ganda nang program nang Gilas Pilipinas. Ang problema is pabago bago sila nang players at ang masaklap pa kung walang makuha na magaling na PBA PLAYERS sa mother teams nang PBA, kumukuha nalang sa Collegiate or sa PBA D-LEAGUE. Anong dahilan is conflict of schedule. Na obserbahan ko na talaga yan. Pag may international games, conflict sa PBA ayaw nalang nilang mag adjust. Sa ibang bansa daw is wala talagang conflict of schedule. Kung may international games, ilang buwan din yong preparation nila para mabuo talaga yong team at yong team na binuo nila maintain talaga nila yon. Sa atin 2 or 3 weeks lang ang binibigay nang SBP at PBA. Ang saklap pa kahit 2 or 3 weeks, hindi pa buo ang players. Wala silang National Team na buo pabago bago nang players. So ang nangyayari hindi nakakakuha nang Championship sa FIBA. Positve pa rin ako sa qualfying ngayong nobyembre pero hindi ko alam kung kaya nilang ipanalo kasi yong 3 weeks is enough. Sabi pa nga ni CHOT REYES, “Still, the preparation is shorter compared to other countries’ buildups.
“Nakakaawa naman tayo, yung three weeks, mahaba na para sa atin,” Reyes said. “Yesterday nilabas na ng Japan yung 24-man pool nila. But yeah, it’s better than nothing.”
“But it’s one thing to say na November 3, you have three weeks, but it’s another thing to have – will they be there a hundred percent?” he was quick to add.
“Parang yung last Fiba Asia, when we started, we had two weeks preparation, but hindi tayo nakumpleto except for one practice, and nabuo lang tayo, nandun na tayo sa Beirut. I hope makumpleto tayo.” Agree talaga ako sa sinabi ni COACH CHOT REYES.
