Coming into semifinals, Gilas Pilipinas' triangle offense was tearing opposing defenses down with a tournament-best 91.5 points behind a high 55.4-percent clip from the field including a 51.2 percent from deep.
Jul 7, 2024 04:26 AMComing into semifinals, Gilas Pilipinas' triangle offense was tearing opposing defenses down with a tournament-best 91.5 points behind a high 55.4-percent clip from the field including a 51.2 percent from deep.
That’s why it was not surprising just how proud Brazil head coach Aleksandar Petrovic was with their defensive efforts, noting that they managed to take away almost every Gilas’ point of attack within its triangle offense. “We cut them everything, they stayed below 31 points of their average in the first two games. We cut them their percentage of the shots,” he added.
“ told us to try and stop him because he would shoot the ball like 20 times a game and we have to cut his percentage below 48 percent because he was shooting the ball pretty well,” said Brazil guard Georginho De Paula.
