Yesterday it was a hard earned victory yesterday, when Marcus Douthit got an injury in the second quarter vs South Korea. Marcus is one of the main man in Gilas, the team draw strength from him. And it is surprising that they have won over South Korea. Now that they will advance to FIBA World cup 2014 to be held in Spain.
Today, they will have to battle the two-time world champion, Iran. Again, the odds are bigger, considering that Marcus can't play against Iran. And it is known that Iran has a great defense and dishes out more physicality to the game.
It was a heart stopping event for the19,989 attendees in the stadium as well as those who eagerly watch the game in their home. Little by little, Iran taking the lead. The huge gap of scores was shown in the third quarter, ending with a 9 points lead of Iran.
It’s a sad loss for the Philippines, defeated
by the Giants (Iran). But the battle ain’t over yet. May this be a fruitful experience for Gilas, as they compete with FIBA World Championship 2014, in Spain. "No Pain, No Spain! Mabuhay Gilas Pilipinas!"
Philippines Vs. Iran game scores:
1st Quarter 15 Ph 17 Iran
2nd Quarter 34 Ph 35 Iran
3rd Quarter 53 Ph 62 Iran
4th Quarter 71Ph 85 Iran
Congratulations Iran!
