The Ultimate Guide Gilas Eyes Bounce-Back Win vs Egypt to Close Doha Tilt

As Gilas Pilipinas looks to conclude its 2nd Doha Invitational Cup on a winning note, it faces an undefeated Egyptian team in what promises to be a thrilling finale. In this ultimate guide, we'll dissect the key factors that will impact Gilas' chances of bouncing back from their recent loss to Lebanon and securing a win against Egypt.

The Path to Redemption

After opening with a come-from-behind victory, Gilas lost momentum in a fourth-quarter meltdown against Lebanon, ultimately falling 76-54. Coach Tim Cone views the short tournament as an opportunity for his team to toughen up ahead of the FIBA Asia Cup 2025 Qualifiers. We'll focus on taking care of the basketball and limiting our turnovers, he emphasized.

Leading the Charge

Justin Brownlee will once again be at the forefront for Gilas, with his impressive 21-point, 10-rebound performance against Lebanon serving as a testament to his abilities. Supporting him are key players June Mar Fajardo, AJ Edu, Dwight Ramos, and Calvin Oftana – all crucial components of Gilas' attack.

Overcoming Poor Shooting

Gilas will need to overcome their poor shooting night against Lebanon, where they made just four of 26 three-point attempts. A focus on improving perimeter shooting will be essential in taking down Egypt. As coach Cone noted, We'll work on our ball movement and create opportunities for open shots.

Limiting Turnovers

One major objective for Gilas will be to limit their turnovers, having committed 19 times against Lebanon. This was a key factor in their downfall, as the team struggled to recover after trailing by just 50-51 in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.

Egypt The Unbeaten Foe

Egypt has been impressive thus far, following up their tournament-opening win with an 83-54 demolition of host Qatar. With a 2-0 record, they'll look to maintain their undefeated streak against Gilas.

The Road Ahead

After concluding the Doha Invitational Cup, Gilas will head back to Manila before departing for Taiwan on February 18. They'll face the hosts on the 20th before concluding the qualifiers against New Zealand on February 23 in Auckland.

In this ultimate guide, we've outlined the key factors that pertain to Gilas' chances of bouncing back from their recent loss and securing a win against Egypt. With a focus on limiting turnovers, improving perimeter shooting, and capitalizing on Brownlee's leadership, Gilas is well-positioned to end the tournament on a high note. Will they succeed in their quest for redemption? Only time will tell.
