I know many would hate me if I say Team Philippines played bad in this game. The game is already in their hands just a few minutes ago, but it has to come to the last shot from the Iranians. The game was close in the first half with the score tied at halftime. The trend continues as the game is just as close as you would want. In the 4th quarter, we lead by as much as 10pts, but all of them were erased by the Iranians.
The Good: We won the game.
The Bad: We missed layups after layups, that is the worst thing that can happen. I counted probably 4times where we missed wide open layups. Even coach Chot is very angry with the team.
The Turning Point: Got to be the good pass from Ranidel to Douthit when everything was already going nowhere, then suddenly a dunk by Douthit gave as a 5pt lead.
The Lesson: I know it is a very tense games but we have to make freethrows at end game.
*I saw coach Chot's face at end game when Kamrani, Iranian player, missed a wide open transition three. He was very dissapointed on how the game have ended. If we were to sink in freethrows, the game would have been a sure thing, but it has come to LUCK that wins it all.
Still, I would like to congratulate the team for winning the game and hope to win the next two games.
