Who cost Gilas that embarrassing defeat against Angola?



I started writing this piece when there is still 3:39 left in the game. Angola is leading by 15 points. It will take a miracle to get the victory.

Just like a normal basketball fan, I have a lot of questions in my mind. But, I just wonder if it will be worth it to voice out?

That MVP for Angola in that victory is their coaching staff. Mind you, coach Chot Reyes told the press that they are focused in our game against Angola and Dominican Republic.

And yet in this game, Angola has way better game plan. They adjusted better. And they did that even though they saw an 11 points deficit in the first half.

They run a lot of screen plays and their point guard is getting open easily. He was missing early but then they started hitting.

Then in the third quarter, you they start going inside again. And our defense were late to adjust again. They scored a lot inside.

Then fourth quarter came and the three-point shots are there for the taking again. So, they took it.

Yes. The coaching staff of Angola cost us that game. They are two to three steps ahead all throughout the game. Even during the early lead of Gilas. Angola's scheme was actually better. They are not just hitting there shots.

I repeat, the coaching staff of Angola cost us that game. The head coach is Jose Claros Canals. By the way, he looks the head coach that coach Chot Reyes, replaced.
