Tim Cone has reminded Gilas Pilipinas to have the 'next game' mentality, shortly after the Philippine team dismantled Qatar, 80-41 to seal a quarterfinal spot in the 19th Asian Games men's basketball on Monday.
That mentality is something the American mentor would like the Filipinos to carry considering the critical game Gilas has in its quarterfinal match.You see, the reward for the Philippines' 39-point rout of Qatar is facing Iran on Tuesday, Oct. 3 at 12 noon at the Zhejiang University Zijingang Gymnasium.'We don't care, we're taking it one game at a time,' Cone said. 'We don't care about the last game, we don't care about this game.
We just know we have a much tougher opponent tomorrow, than we did today, in Iran.' Gilas just watched the film on Iran, which top Group A with its superb 3-0 record, while boasting of an averaging winning margin of 21 points in the group stage.'We're not gonna try and practice 'cause if we did, we'll just wear ourselves out,' added the Gilas interim mentor.'We gotta be fresh, fresh-legged.
