Taiwan held Pilipinas to lowest scoring output this season, 76-61
In a game for a spot for the semis next week, Team Pilipinas failed to grab a spot, even though we put more effort, as they trailed throughout the game. We managed to keep it close until the 3rd quarter, but our scoring did not improve in the 4th quarter resulting to a 3rd place finish and missing out on a medal this season.
Melvin Chan led the team in scoring with 16pts. He also had 5rebs & 2asts. Leorio Lovino contributed 15pts, 2rebs & 1ast while Peter Heyrosa put up 12pts, 3rebs & 4asts. The team shot 28.9% from the field, missing all 14 3-pts attempt.
Next week will be a scrimmage week but please keep our boys in great shape dahil ang week after non ay World Cup Qualifying game. Another must-win game para naman sa World Cup spot. Wala pa tayong makakalaban sa ngayon dahil aantayin pa ang semi-finalist from America and Africa. I'll provide an update pag may naka-set na tayong kalaban that week. Hopefully maganda pa rin ang game shape ng mga bata kahit League Finals Game 2 and 3 at scrimmages na lang ang games that week.
Maraming salamat sa patuloy na pagsuporta at pagtitiwala.
Laban Pilipinas!
