Happy day for the Philippines! U21 and NT won!

Good job Coach! Sana tumakbo ka ulit. You are doing a good job with (partida) a young squad so far.

Salamat sa suporta coach! No definite plans yet, lets see after the season. 😉

Basta focus muna tayo in trying to win HCA for next Asian Championship. Medyo mabigat ung natapat satin na sked especially compared sa mga neighbor countries natin pero we will do our best padin. Sana makasilat tayo sa Spain for a better chance.

Tough loss against powerhouse Spain. We are now hanging by a nail in rank 30 (need to make the top 32 to reach the next round).

Next up, do-or-die game against Iran. Hoping for the best GS next week. Lets go Pinas! :)

It is quite crazy how you GDP'd Spain! Hahahaha. Unorthodox method!

But still lost by a wide margin. lol

Okay lang iyan idol! At least we see that you are active enough to do a GDP and how our young squad respond.

Whew! We got the much needed win against Iran and their trio of monster bigs! Good chance that we qualify for the next round. Lets hope that we get a favorable match up. 🤞

Philippines rely on savvy veterans, defeat Iran in time for Philippine Independence Day 106 - 84

The Filipinos can now breathe a collective sigh of relief, albeit temporarily, as they improve their chances to advance to the next round of qualifying games after they survived Iran's onslaught. Amir Abarghouei and Abtin Hamidian had their own way in the paint, as Iran took 48 shots from inside the paint lead by Ghanbar Oladi's 36 point outburst and an 18 point 15 rebound perormance from Hamidian.

For the Philippines the man of the hour belongs to hotshot Amante Dorola who had 34 points, a coming out party of sorts, including six triples layered with seven assists on top. While he did most of his damage on offense, his defense was equally remarkable as he held his counterpart to a measly 5 points on one of nine shooting. Forward Othello Dacoco also dominated his match up as he added 23 points to an already impressive shooting performance by the backcourt including guard Florian Ignacio who had 22 and was the other player to score more than 20 points for the team.

Philippines wasted no time as they stepped on the gas and raced to a 10-point lead early, it was cruise control from then on and by the time the half-time buzzer sounded the Filipinos were ahead by 20. They took no time off to look back or stall the offense as an efficient 52% shooting was more than enough to snatch the victory from Iran.

The Philippine national team will now wait for news regarding their qualification for the next round. Stay tuned.

Scores:
Philippines
Dorola 36, Dacoco 23, Ignacio 22, Libre 9, Tapia 8, Catudio 8, Madrigal 2, Saligan 0, Inayan 0, Tenmatay 0, Dalida DNP-CD, Magalon DNP-CD

Iran
Oladi 36, Hamidian 18, Abarghouei 12, Zare 9, Samimi 5, Shahrokhi 2, Seyyedi N. 2, Tizpa 0, Norouzi DNP-CD, Khosravi DNP-CD, Hojjatian DNP-CD, Seyyedi S. DNP-CD

Quarters:
20-17; 57-37; 69-52; 106-84

Amazing write up as always coach Pro_Shot! ;)

The next round bracket is announced. Good news, we qualified for the next round! Remaining Asian teams are Indonesia, New Zealand and Japan. To get the Home Court for next season we need to have the best finish among Asian teams.

We will be up against a very talented team in Turkey next week. Lets hope for the best (and the worse for the other 3 Asian teams LOL), LABAN PA!!!

That's great coach! Good job with the NT team. Your achievements this season have been largely under the radar but we are in a better position now than in recent seasons, keep it up!
