The Gilas Pilipinas will be facing the lowly but unpredictable Hong Kong squad as the national team wrap up its second round games in the FIBA Asia Championship before moving on to the knock out quarterfinals match up against the top 4 teams in Group F.
Here’s our scouting report with Hong Kong:
Hong Kong made it to the second round of the elimination round although they failed to win any games on Group B but they still managed to moved to the second round because of the disqualification of Team Lebanon.
Hong Kong was defeated during their first two games in the preliminary first against Japan with the score at 54-80 and on their second game against Qatar, Hong Kong was defeated with the final score at 64-87.
During the second round, Hong Kong was already defeated by Chinese Taipei on Monday at 55-94. Hong Kong’s Shing Yee Fong topscored for Hong Kong with 13 points but without the support of his team mates they loss badly to Chinese Taipei.
During the second day of the FIBA Asia Championship second round Hong Kong suffered defeat at the hands of Jordan scoring with just 54 points against 80 points by Jordan.
