It won't be easy sailing for Gilas in the third FIBA Asia Cup qualifying window. Although coach Tim Cone's charges are unbeaten in four games over two windows, their next games will be on the road against teams itching for revenge.
Gilas demolished Chinese-Taipei, 106-53, in the first window at the PhilSports Arena last February. They will meet again on Feb. 20, this time with Chinese-Taipei hosting. It won't be the same lineup that Gilas crushed in their initial clash. Chinese-Taipei brought in 7-0 naturalized player Brandon Gilbeck and reclassified former naturalized recruit 6-2 Mohamad Al Bashir Gadiaga as a local to beef up their roster for the second window. Gilbeck had 15 points and 13 rebounds in Chinese-Taipei's 85-55 romp over Hong Kong but was limited to eight points and four rebounds in the 81-64 loss to New Zealand. Gadiaga shot 18 points against Hong Kong and 14 against New Zealand.
