Nationals plunge into Asia Cup action vs perennial rivals

- By REYNALD MAGALLON

Now is the time to walk the talk for Gilas Pilipinas.

National team head coach Tim Cone had declared the team's intent to win it all and that resolve will be put to an immediate test when Gilas takes on a dangerous and vastly improved Chinese Taipei squad in their opening assignment in the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the wee hours of Wednesday, Aug. 6.

Tip-off of the clash is at 2 a.m. in Manila with the Nationals looking to set the tone for the tournament with a victory against a Taiwanese team that defeated them on its home turf during the qualifiers.
