00:00Sa kabila ng kulang-kulang na lineup, balik-training na ang Giles Pilipinas Men's Basketball Team
00:08upang itoon ang kanilang atensyon para sa magaganap na FIBA Asia Cup ngayong Agosto sa Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
00:16Para sa detalye, narito ang report ni Paulo Salamadi.
00:21Sa asandalan ngayon ni Giles Pilipinas Men's Basketball Team Head Coach Tim Cohn,
00:26ang lahat ng mga available players ng pambansang kupunan na kasalukuyang naghahanda
00:31para sa magaganap na FIBA Asia Cup ngayong Agosto sa Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
00:35Matapos maputol ang kampanya ng Barangay Hinebra sa Game 7 ng semifinal series kontra San Miguel Beerman,
00:42walang balak magpahinga si Cohn sa tungkulin nito sa pambansang kupunan na nagnanais na ibalik
00:48ang pagiging pamilyar ng mga players sa kanyang sistema na nanggaling pa sa iba't ibang local at international leagues
00:54na may kanya-kanyang kupunan at sistema.
00:56Walong players ang present sa latest Giles training session nitong Martesa Ortigas
01:01na binubuo ni na Dwight Ramos, Carl Tamayo, RJ Abariyentos, Troy Rosario,
01:07Japet Aguilar, Jamie Malonzo, Justin Brownlee at AJ Edu.
01:12Nakakitaan din ang presensya ang Giles big man na si Kai Soto
01:15bilang pagsuporta sa kupunan kung saan patuloy pa rin ang kanyang proseso
01:20ng pagpapagaling sanatamong ACL injury.
01:23Sa panayam ng PTV Sports, ibinahagi ni Cohn na bagamat kasalukuyan naglalaro
01:28ang iba mga players sa PBA Finals ng kanilang mother teams,
01:32malaking bagay umano para sa kanya na present sa training session
01:35ang ilang mga core players ng kupunan.
01:38Those are just things that we have to deal with.
01:41I mean, I mean, I wish they didn't have to play and I wish we had three months of preparation
01:46like a lot of the other teams do, but that's not the reality.
01:50So we deal with the reality.
01:51We deal with what we can control.
01:53And right now, you know, we got eight guys, including RJ and Troy,
01:58and we're working with those eight guys to see if we can get them as good as we can get them.
02:05It's a good core of players though.
02:06Justin's here, Dwight's here, AJ's here.
02:09So it's a really good core of players that we've got here at this point.
02:13Bago ang FIBA Asia Cup, nakatakdang banggain ng gila sa tune-up match
02:17ang powerhouse Macau Black Bears ngayong July 28 sa Araneta Coliseum
02:22kung saan sinabi ni Kuhn na magsisilbi itong basihan ng kupunan
02:26para sa kanilang mga adjustments.
02:29You know, they're a really strong team and they've got a load of imports on that team.
02:35And, you know, like I said, like we've said, they beat the Chinese national team already.
02:41So we expect to have a really big battle against them in July 28.
02:49And I think that'll give us an idea of where we are and what we need to go.
02:54I'm not sure of the availability of Junmar and CJ and Calvin.
03:00The finals should be over by that time, but whether they'll be fit to play right away,
03:04they might need a few days off.
03:06So I'm not sure about them, but we'll be going into it with probably 11
03:11guys ready to play against Macau.
03:14Sa ngayon, magpapatuloy ang arawang pag-ensayo ng pambansang kupunan
03:18bago lumipad patungong Jeddah sa susunod abuan.
03:21Nalalagay ang Pilipinas sa bracket group din ang FIBA Asia Cup
03:25na kinabibilangan ng mga bansang New Zealand, Taiwan at Iraq.
