This week, we take a break from the qualifications and went to Argentina to face them in a friendly. They are currently the 22th in the U21 rankings, but if you look at the player salaries, they are clearly way ahead of us. I wasn't able to watch the match live, kc naman, 6AM ung laro.
I was expecting a loss to be honest, kaya I went with a different lineup, to give valuable experience to the others and to try new things, and it paid off. Besides, friendly lang naman and walang bearings.
First quarter pa lang, kitang kita ung dominance natin in the paint. The only downside I can see from this is that we shot 0-10 from threes, kc naman 4 shots were taken by our centers and 1 shot was from the half-court, kaya not bad. They went with full court press, kaya lamang sila sa steals with 15 compared to our 8, pero sa total TOs halos same lang with their 19 to our 17.
Not bad, considering we were the away team.
Best players:
1. A. Ejercito
2. C. Igano
3. T. Jayme
Oh, and btw, we are now the ranked 17th. 3 places up from since I started if I'm not mistaken. Yay us!
Pilipinas U21,
FIGHTING~
