The 2023-2024 PBA season, meantime, may be four weeks away, but the Gilas-Jordan final should also provide a preview for another great matchup: Barangay Ginebra San Miguel with Brownlee against TNT Tropang Giga with Hollis-Jefferson in the forthcoming Commissioner’s Cup.
HANGZHOU – This could be a rematch for the ages: Gilas Pilipinas vs Jordan for the 19th Asian Games men’s basketball gold medal.However, for now, all roads lead to the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center on Friday, October 6, where the flag-waving hometown crowd will be on hand at 4 p.m. to watch China and Chinese Taipei, upended by two visiting teams, dispute the spoils of war — the bronze medal. Then it gets to choose its pick between the Philippines and Jordan.
In contrast, Jordan, having secured an outright quarterfinal berth after downing Gilas, breezed past Saudi Arabia in the round of eight and Chinese-Taipei in the Final Four. While the gut-wrenching squeaker over Iran was magical enough in its essence, the down-the-wire thriller against China took on an almost miraculous state as both games were decided after the oppositions’ best shooters missed dying-second threes.
