In a high-stakes showdown, Gilas Pilipinas is set to face the formidable host nation, China, in the semifinals of the 19th Asian Games Men's Basketball.
This matchup holds particular significance as it marks the second meeting between these two basketball giants in the same year.
Their previous encounter took place during the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, where Gilas Pilipinas emerged victorious with a convincing 96-75 win in their final game of the tournament. Now, they meet again on the Asian Games stage, adding another layer of intensity to the rivalry.
Philippines earned their spot in the semifinals after a heart-pounding quarterfinal clash against Iran, securing an 84-83 win in a nail-biting contest. The team encountered challenging situations in the fourth quarter but demonstrated composure to secure the victory, thanks to the spectacular performance of Justin Brownlee, who led Gilas with a remarkable 36 points.
China, on the other hand, advanced to the semifinals by defeating South Korea with an 84-70 victory. Runwang Du led the Chinese squad with 16 points.
For Gilas Pilipinas, this is a significant moment as they return to the Asian Games semifinals for the first time since 2002. The team is eager to make history and bring home a medal.
However, history is also on the side of Team Dragon. On every occasion when China has hosted the Asian Games, they have clinched the gold medal in men's basketball. The home-court advantage and the passionate support of the Chinese crowd add to the challenges Gilas Pilipinas will face.
