Powerade-Team Pilipinas coach Yeng Guiao will enforce a thrice-a-week practice session for his team bound for the William Jones Cup tournament and the FIBA Asia Men’s Basketball Championship.
The Jones Cup, one of the toughest international tournaments once dominated by Filipinos 15 years ago, is set from July 18 to 26 at the Physical Education gym in Taipei.
The Nationals will meet a Jordan squad beefed up by American players Sam Daghlas and Rasheim Wright and seven-footer Jamal Ma’aytah in the 3:00 p.m. opening match.
“Starting next week, we will insert a Tuesday and Thursday practice from our regular Monday session," Guiao told GMANews.TV. “This is in preparation for the coming two international tournaments we’re participating in. We had an easier time in SEABA, but we’re in for a tough grind in the Jones Cup and FIBA Asia."
The Jones Cup tournament will serve as a tune-up for the Filipinos in their much-awaited FIBA Asia campaign, the qualifying tournament for the World Basketball Championship in Turkey next year.
Two years ago, the Filipinos finished ninth and Guiao and his troops hope to bounce back this time.
Signs are very encouraging for the Nationals after the Philippines got the luck of the draw being bracketed away from the so called “Group of Death" that includes defending champion Iran, host China and powerhouse Lebanon.
The Powerade-RP five also secured the services of Japeth Aguilar, who joined the practice last Monday and played a steady game in the Filipinos’ victory against the Athletes in Action squad in a tune-up match Thursday night.
The Powerade-RP squad will play for nine straight days. After their game against Jordan, The Nationals battle host Chinese-Taipei on July 19.
Their complete schedule: July 20 versus Lebanon; July 21 against Japan; July 22 versus Korea; July 23 against Iran; July 24 versus South Africa; July 25 against Kazakhstan.

wow! is it open to the public?
i mean ... the practice
Japeth needs more time to develop..
bata pa.. hindi pa gaano sanay sa banggaan..
kasi nga hindi naman sya masyado babad sa WKU,,
lagi lang sa bench
sayang si Kelly Williams!
wag nila itodo ung laro nila..
pero let them execute ung mga plays nila..
kulang ang three days a week.. dapat five days a week, parang sa boxing.. dapat yung muscles ng kamay at paa nila memorized na mga galaw. Yung utak kabisado na mga plays... less than 2 weeks na lang jones cup na, a month fiba asia na... yung mga kalaban years na nageensayo..
mga kalaban natin, matagal na na magkasama, konti lang ang ipinait na players sa line-up at pareho pa rin ang coach. Sa atin kabaliktaran, nawala pa mga consistent outside shooters at certified scorers like Caguioa, Alapag. Hontyveros at Ritualo na kailangan natin dahil sa laki ng kalaban at sa zone defense. Si Yap lang yata ang pure Shooter dito. Anyway, goodluck sa Powerade Team.
import ba yung 2 american sa jordan??
o naturalized player??
allowed ba sa jones cup ang import player??
wala na.. alam ko na mangyayari,,talo na tayo in all 9 games
these are the problems..
1. NO kelly Williams..
2. Japeth is not a very dominant player inside the ring!! can't hold the ball properly..he was always out rebounded.. he has a lot of turnovers..nerbyoso pa..
3. "Practice makes perfect"- kulang ang 3x a day..dapat 5...
4. wala masyadong shooters!! 19% lang ung 3 point percentage natin sa seaba.. ok lang sana kung nasa 50%
5. Height- 6'3 lang ave. natin while iran lebanon jordan and china has atleast 6'7.. ang layo na natin!!
6.Injured Players- lahat may injury,,si ryan, si sonny,..di cla makakasabay sa tamang practice..
jimmy's analysis lamang po.how about sa inyo??
me nba player na ang philippines. sa national boxing association..c manny pacquiao..eheheeehheheh di c japeth..
kunin si alapag o hontiveros kailangan ng pur shooters!
Hi im GabeNorwood aka krave182
Analysis and Predictions...
Game1
RP team vs Jordan--> I think dikitan ang laban d2, wright and daghlas are players to watch, Norwood should tight his defense to Wright while Santos will be more active to daghlas. Pag na limit nla ang laro nitong key playes ng JORDAN, RP has a great chances to win.. But i still believe RP will win the game. So 1-0 na for RP TEAM..
Game2
RP team vs Taipei 1st nteam.--> Clearly RP team will win this game, forget the homecourt advantage..Taipei's weaknesses, Back court defense and Interioir defense, No main addition of key players. The only main thing of chinese taipei is they can shoot outside/perimiter, because they shoot a lot of 3's. So 2-0 for RP
Game3
RP team vs Lebanon--> Another see saw battle, close and physical, game. History of this rivals: RP team has numbers of this Lebanon team, we always beat this team in exhibition and other tournaments. I dont know if thats an advantage for RP but we play most with this team and already knows their strength.Obviously, El khatib is the main player but with the addition of 7 footer Vroman makes this team tough to beat. A former NBA player who played for Phoenix and New Orleans can really score so its a big adjustment for the RP team. But I think RP can outpowered this team as Aguilar is a great defender, a great shotblocker. Lets not forget THOSS,PENISI,TAULVA also who has great size. They can shuffle too.. This in an epic battle, many lead changes, and ties. But RP team will reign as victory in thsi game. 3-0 for RP
GAME4
RP team vs JAPAN-->Probably, one of the quickest and athelitic team in asia. Fastbreaking team, hustle bustle team and a consistent 3 point shooting team. Weaknesses. Most of the players are inexperienced and young but dont hold this team as JAPAN is the EAST champion in asia which is a big tournament. They beat CHINA team in the finals. So this team has the ability to win great teams. History of this rival JAPAN, RP team has numbers, but again for me, RP can outpower this inexperienced,small team. I will stay with the history so the outcome will be for RP in a big display of talent. 4-0 RP team
Game5
RP team vs Korea-->Korea, dubbed as one of the pure shooters team in asia, and maybe in the world. Korean philosophy of basketball is their basic techniques in shooting 3's. In fact, they trained young players how to shoot 3's, making 500 shots a day. Weaknesses. Lack of interoir offense as basketball is not only a 3 point game. No other big man that can play inside except from HA, who played in NBA in portland but does not really effective at all in the lineup.. Rp bows to dominate the inside game namely TAULAVA,THOSS,AGUILAR,RAYMUNDO.. 5-0 for RP.
Continuation....
mukhang tagilid tau sa Lebanon and Korea 3 wins and 2 loss..My Prediction 3rd place finish..
Sa palagay ko dapat hindi itodo ni Yeng ang lakas ng team pilipinas, gamitin lamang niya ito para mag-jell at makuha ang right combination na magkli-click para sa Tianjin. Kung maaari itago panga niya ang tunay na lakas ng team. Binuo ang team na ito para sa Asia Fiba, hindi para sa Jones cup. Ang predikyon ko, fourth or fifth lang ang kukunin ni Yeng.
luto yung ref..kanina sa smb vs gsm halata ba????game tree luto. talaga halata diba???nakakawalang gana manood ng pba benta yung mga ref...
I think Philippines will not be able to get pass Lebanon. And if hindi mag-palit ng guard line up, they wont be able to get pass Korea and Japan.
Ok lang matalo I think sa Jones Cup. Pero pag sa Tianjin na dapat seryosohan na.
Siguro sa Jones Cup, dapat seryosohan sa team experimentation at chemistry. :P
Gawin dedicated PG si Norwood, dedicated PF si Aguilar. Shooting Forward si Pennisi. Mag-hanap ng Forward at Guard na DEFENSIVE ROLE players sa line-up. (Parang Freddie ABUDA, Chris JACKSON, Patrick FRAN at Jeffrey CARIASO na ROLES)
Opinion lang ah. :P
PEACE!
kaya natin yan nga bro abangan nuo jones cup mamayagpag mga pinoy
kaya nila basta may team work at mawawala ba ang dasal no bodies perfect naman e may kahinaan din mga kalaban nila magtiwala lang tayo GO!Team Pilipinas
