FIBA World Cup: Against well-oiled Italy, Gilas’ preparation ‘didn’t manifest itself’ FIBAWC
FOSHAN, China—Heading into the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Gilas Pilipinas coach Yeng Guiao made it clear that his team's full focus was on the game against Italy.
Unfortunately for Gilas Pilipinas, their extensive preparation for Italy, which included sending coaches Sandy Arespacochaga and Ford Arao as advance scouts to watch the Italians play in a pre-World Cup tournament, went for naught. "There's always a problem when you're rotating, and your bigs are not able to keep up with that kind of rotation. Somebody's always gonna be open on the third or fourth, maybe on the fifth pass," Guiao explained.
