After 11 days of familiarizing with one another and coach Tim Cone’s system, it’s time for Gilas Pilipinas to hit the court for an actual game against an international opponent.
The Nationals take on import-flavored Korean club Changwon LG Sakers today in a 4 p.m. open tuneup at the PhilSports Arena that serves as their only test before embarking on their Asian Games campaign.
Gilas was supposed to face Meralco last Tuesday at the Inspire Sports Academy in Laguna but the uncertainties on the status of Calvin Abueva, Jason Perkins, Terrence Romeo and Mo Tautuaa forced the cancellation of that friendly. “They’re a very, very strong team and they’ll bring a couple of imports, so they’ll be a really good test,” Cone said recently on One PH’s The Big Story
