Hydropower Insights Lessons from Gilas Pilipinas' Journey to FIBA ACQ

As experts in the field of hydropower, you may not be familiar with the world of international basketball. However, as we explore the latest developments in the Philippine team's journey towards the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers, you'll discover valuable lessons and insights that can be applied to your own industry.

The Road to Recovery AJ Edu and Jamie Malonzo Lead the Charge

In the face of adversity, the Philippines' national basketball team, Gilas Pilipinas, has been working tirelessly to reintegrate key players into their system. The Doha Invitational Cup served as a testing ground for Coach Tim Cone's strategy, with AJ Edu and Jamie Malonzo making significant strides in their recovery from injuries.

Injury Updates A Glimpse of Hope

AJ Edu, who missed the first two windows of the qualifiers due to a knee injury, has made a remarkable comeback. Similarly, Jamie Malonzo, out for nine months with a calf injury, has regained his fitness and is now an integral part of the team.

The Absence of Kai Sotto A Significant Concern

While both Edu and Malonzo's returns are a welcome development, the absence of young slotman Kai Sotto remains a significant concern. Sotto's recent surgery to repair his torn ACL in his knee has dealt a huge blow to the team's chances.

Lessons from Doha Turnovers and Three-Point Shooting

Gilas Pilipinas' performance in the Doha friendly games highlighted two key areas of concern turnovers and three-point shooting. The team averaged 18 turnovers per contest, while shooting just 24 percent from beyond the arc (15-of-62). Coach Cone will need to address these issues as Gilas prepares for its next challenge.

Taiwan A New Challenge Under Gianlucca Tucci

As Gilas Pilipinas heads into its upcoming game against Taiwan, they'll face a new challenge under the guidance of coach Gianlucca Tucci. The Philippines rolled past Taiwan 106-53 during the first window a year ago at the Mall of Asia Arena.

AJ Edu A Shining Light in the Absence of Kai Sotto

In the absence of Sotto, AJ Edu has stepped up to fill the void. At 6-foot-10, Edu brings a unique combination of size and athleticism to the court. His averages of 6.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in Doha are a promising sign for Gilas Pilipinas.

Conclusion

As experts in hydropower, you may not be directly involved in international basketball. However, the lessons learned from Gilas Pilipinas' journey can be applied to your own field. The importance of perseverance, teamwork, and adaptation are key takeaways that can benefit professionals in any industry.
