HOPING FOR FEEL OF EURO PLAY
The Philippine Star
|June 28, 2024
Whether it's against a foreign club or a top-tier Euro squad, Gilas Pilipinas is always game for tune-ups in its continuing efforts to grow as a unit.
Carrying its Olympic dreams, coach Tim Cone's 11-strong Gilas step up their buildup for the Paris Qualifiers by playing tough sides Turkey and Poland on the road early Friday and early Sunday, respectively.
The twin friendlies follow an earlier duel in Manila with the Taiwan Mustangs, a quintet led by coach Chris Gavina, Pinoy playmaker Alex Cabagnot and 7-foot-6 import Sam Deguara but minus former NBA stars Dwight Howard, DeMarcus Cousins and Quinn Cook. The Nationals defeated the Mustangs, 74-64.
