FIBA World Cup: Gilas braces for ‘make or break’ game against Italy

FOSHAN, China—Gilas Pilipinas has prepared as best as it possibly can for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, and all that's left now is to play starting with a showdown against Italy that can "make or break" the Filipinos' campaign.

"If we win Italy, we'll probably make the next round. If we lose to Italy, we probably won't make the next round. It's that important." "We've ran our schemes, we've ran our game plan," said Guiao. "We're hoping it works. We're hoping we're able to stay with Italy for forty minutes, and be able to give ourselves a chance to win the game."

"But we feel that we have a chance. We feel that with hard work, focus, and a little bit of luck, maybe we can stay with Italy."
