Everything hinges on a single game – the one that holds power to either bring the dreams within reach or shatter every fragment of hope and prayers from the entirety of this basketball-crazy nation.Gilas Pilipinas takes its shot at destiny when it tangles against the Dominican Republic in front of what is expected to be a historic crowd in the 2023 FIBA World Cup at the Philippine Arena on Friday, Aug. 25.
The hosts, though, certainly are not lacking firepower with former NBA Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson also leading the way for the Filipinos. “I think the most important thing is for us to come in with a very calm, focused, intentional yet aggressive mindset coming into the ball game. I think that's really the best we can do,” said Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes whose team is definitely coming in as the heavy underdogs.
The visiting team, however, are not coming in blind-sided with head coach Nestor Garcia already wary of the shooting of Gilas especially while playing in its turf and in front of its home crowd.
