Philippines on Inevitable Collision Course Against Formidable China

Charly's Blog
October 2, 2015

As the FIBA Asia Olympic Qualifier reaches the Final Four, the Philippines seems to be in a good position to advance to the finals with an anemic, yet ‘I’ll-take-it-for-what-it-is’ win 82-70 against a fighting Lebanese squad. And looming as the likely adversary to meet the Gilas warriors is the mean, murder machine from China.

Yes, folks, it could be the big, bad, burly bullies of Beijing versus the Mighty Mites of Manila. It will be size versus speed; it will be the ghastly Goliath against the Daring David. It will be the power of the hometown crowd against the prayers of a distant nation if the two protagonists hurdle their respective assignments today at the ongoing Changsha-Hunan FIBA Asia Championship.

But first, the Philippines will have to dispose of a dangerous Japanese side which it had outlasted 73-66 in the second round enroute to its first place standing in Group E. Japan had earlier disposed of a vastly-improved Qatari squad 81-74 to advance to the semis.

Host China on the other hand will be facing the defending champs Iran on the other semifinal face-off today. This could be an interesting match, with the seemingly-indestructible Chinese team, undefeated and winning by ridiculously large margins, the last being a 104-58 shellacking of a totally-outclassed Indian team.

The reigning Asian kingpins Iran will be no push-overs, mind you, as they have perennial MVP Hamed Ehadadi anchoring the team, though they now appear to be the slight underdogs with the hometown crowd factor and the injury to three-point gunner Hamed Afagh. Iran had reached the Final Four with a convincing win over the equally-dangerous Korean crew 75-62. It will be recalled that in the first round, Korea had given the Chinese team its only scare before bowing out, 76-73.

China looks formidable this year even without the homecourt advantage. With a young tall crew led by veteran Yi Jian Lian, and flashy guard Guo Ailun expected to cancel out the Philippines’ dynamic duo of Andray Blatche and Jason Castro, the match-up battles at the 2-3-4 slots will be crucial. Here, the Chinese side’s huge advantage lies in their size. With the 19-year old sensation Zhou Qi, the burly Wang Zhe Lin and the consistent Zhou Peng providing the muscle and the added offensive sock. But will the height and heft of the Great China wall be able to withstand the hearts of Calvin Abueva, Gabe Norwood and Marc Pingris?

China and the Philippines had recently locked horns in the last dance campaign for the right to host the 2019 Basketball World Cup. They continue to size each other up in the blue waters of the Western Philippine Seas. China had beaten the Philippines 78-71 in their most recent encounter in the Asian Games 2014, though both didn’t fare well in the tourney. The Philippines had one-upped China in the last FIBA Asia extravaganza in Manila in 2013.

There is history, there is a bit of bad blood for these two teams. If this dream match holds true, if both teams hurdle their respective assignments tonight – the Philippines against Japan, and China versus Iran – expect the entire Filipino nation to be at the edge of their seats, watching the boob-tube, praying, wining, dining, crying, laughing, and loving every minute of it as the game’s worthy underdogs.

For once, our fractured nation will be united. As the movie Heneral Luna poignantly laments, what this country truly needs is to be united, in order for us to finally gain the respect and admiration of the world. That unifier is right there, thanks in a big way to Manny Pangilinan and the players who have shown their willingness to do battle, risk life and limb, for honor, for country, and for all the Filipino fans out there.

The cool fact about the FIBA Asia Finals is that it features two teams that defeated the defending champions.

Dirty tricks put Philippines on losing end

By Joey Villar (The Philippine Star)
October 4, 2015


Members of Gilas Pilipinas pose with their silver medals during the FIBA Asia awards rites last night. CHOT [email protected]

MANILA, Philippines - Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas president Manny V. Pangilinan yesterday took exception to host China’s delaying and distracting tactics against the Filipinos just a few hours before their FIBA-Asia Championship gold medal game.

Pangilinan complained that the electric bus assigned to transport Gilas from its hotel to the Changsha Social Work Colleges Gymnasium was delayed because it couldn’t run with a discharged battery.

“Now it has begun. Our Gilas electric bus delayed. Failed to charge daw. Gilas arrival at stadium delayed. Less time for warm up,” said Pangilinan on his Twitter account @IamMVP.

Pangilinan also said China denied the Gilas coaching staff tickets.

“And some of our coaches no tickets!!! Wow,” said the man also known as MVP. “Plus no tickets for some of our assistant coaches. Gggrrr. And for us hard to get tix (tickets)!!! Ggggrrr,” he added.

Pangilinan said he was wondering why the Chinese had separate hotels from the rest of the participating teams including Gilas, saying it did not conform to the FIBA regulations.

“Chinese team staying with us at Kempinski Hotel. All other teams including Gilas in another official hotel. That’s not following the FIBA rules,” he said. “Coach Tab warned us about these cheap tricks last night (Friday) after the game vs Japan.

“Mapapaaway kami dito (We might get into a fight here),” he added.

Pangilinan though kept reminding Gilas not to waver.

“Let the world know 12 angry men will answer the challenge of greatness. Yes we can. Yes we must. Yes we will. God bless Gilas Pilipinas!” said Pangilinan. “Let the team know an entire nation is behind them. Totally behind them. And praying fervently for Gilas to succeed tonight (last night).”
