When Gilas Pilipinas built a lead that was seemingly far out of reach, head coach Tim Cone immediately turned his focus on trying to prepare his team for the next game – against a tougher Iran team in the knockout quarterfinals of the men’s basketball competitions in the 19th Asian Games.
The Nationals built an early 29-8 lead and never looked back from there – an opportunity for the multi-titled coach to rest his weary players and get the seldom-used accustomed to the system he was trying to employ. Brownlee, whom Cone revealed was still nursing some injuries, played only a little over eight minutes while other starters June Mar Fajardo and Scottie Thompson also got the much needed breather for the entire second half.
Knowing full well how difficult the challenge that is in front of them in the quarterfinal, the veteran mentor made sure to use all of the advantage it can get to have his players ready for the crucial tiff.
