Pilipinas grinds it out against Malaysia, 76-59
Ibang klaseng opener para sa second round campaign natin. We managed to get a win against a feisty Malaysia team who kept us under 50pts before the 4th quarter. Kung gaano ka-high scoring yung last game natin, kabaliktaran naman ito. Brickfest malala.
Tatlo lang sa starters natin ang naka-manage na maka-double-digit sa puntos. Abysmal shooting from the team but we managed to have 17blks. Fortunato Arcega claimed a third with 6, Dave Lemoncito had 4 while Leandro Toledanes and Alan Adrian Marquese each had 3.
Next week, Australia naman ang makakaharap natin. This is a rematch of our first round encounter. Exciting at close din ang naging laro natin laban sa kanila ngunit natalo tayo. Sa ngayon, may 1-0 record na rin sila matapos ma-upset ang Taiwan, beating them by 16.
Looking forward to another great GS week sa Friday at mabigat ang ating makakalaban sa lunes.
Maraming salamat sa lahat nang patuloy na sumusuporta at Laban Pilipinas!
