I write this before we play Jordan for the gold, but I am basking in our win over China the other night. I watched the game on replay, only after I knew the result.
Otherwise I would have had a major meltdown. Gilas was down by 18 at halftime. Midway through the third quarter it seemed like our boys were climbing back, in spurts and stops, whittling the lead down to a dozen, but then the Chinese made those long three-pointers.
Former Gilas coach Chot Reyes – love him or hate him, but you do not boo our own coach in front of an international audience – put PUSO into our players as they trod the long, hard road to the FIBA World Cup where, despite three frustrating losses, they trounced China in their last game. Barely a month later, the two teams met again, and for sure revenge was top of mind for the squad in red.
