PHI - 2013 FIBA Asia Championship moved to Philippines
KUALA LUMPUR (FIBA Asia Championship) - The FIBA Asia Executive Committee has decided to move the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship from Beirut, Lebanon to Manila, Philippines in view of the current situation in Lebanon and the rest of West Asia. The event will be played as per the original dates of 1-11 August 2013.

"Unfortunately, the current situation in the region and the on-going civil war in Syria, which has its indirect effect on the countries in the whole of West Asia, especially on Lebanon, creates doubts about the stability that we might not have, at least, till the fixed dates of our event," said FIBA Asia Secretary General Hagop Khajirian explaining the decision.

"In view of these facts, FIBA Asia Executive Committee decided to change the venue of the 27th FIBA Asia Championship from Beirut-Lebanon to Manila-Philippines."

The 2013 FIBA Asia Championship will also act as the qualifying event for the 2014 FIBA World Cup to be played in Spain. The top three teams from the FIBA Asia Championship will earn the right to represent FIBA Asia at the 2014 FIBA World Cup.

Samahang Basketbol NG Pilipinas (SBP), the National Federation of the Philippines had been one of the bidders who made their presentation at the FIBA Asia Executive Committee meeting in September 2012, where it was initially decided to award the hosting rights to Lebanon.

"SBP was still interested in hosting the championship and welcomed the decision of moving it to Manila," Khajirian said.

Philippines last hosted the marquee event for Asian basketball when Manila hosted the 7th edition of the event in 1973.

Gilas pushes Tall Blacks to limit, loses by one point on late questionable call

The Philippine national men’s basketball team capped its New Zealand campaign the way it wanted – playing splendid basketball against A-grade competition like the Tall Blacks, the New Zealand national team.

The Gilas Pilipinas players pushed their world-class counterparts to the limit before dropping a heartbreaking 77-76 loss after a questionable call from one of the referees who officiated the game.

“We lost by one point on a very questionable call on a loose ball situation with only four seconds left,” wrote Reyes in a text message to InterAKTV.

“It should have gone overtime. Sayang.”

Nevertheless, the Filipinos ended their campaign on a strong note, playing with a lot of energy and determination against a crack team that had previously competed in the Olympics and World Championships.

Reyes was pleased with his wards’ performance, particularly the comebacking Marcus Douthit, who returned to action after resting the previous two games due to a nagging back problems.

“The guys really played well, especially Marcus. This is a great way to end this tour,” added Reyes.

The members of the Gilas Pilipinas squad return home to continue their buildup for the FIBA Asia Championship.

They play two more tune up matches – against a PBA select team and against Kazakhstan’s national squad – before gearing up for the August 1 to 11 tournament that serves as a qualifier to the World Cup in Spain next year.

dissapointing laro ng gilas. dumikit pa saudi naging 5 pts. lamang ng gilas. expected na tatambakan yan........

kung ganyan laro nila, pano mananalo yan sa jordan?

[Retz]

^

hindi mananalo sa jordan or tight game kung ganon pa rin ang laro ng gilas. btw, jason castro real surname is william. ung castro surname ng nanay niya just to clear things up.... william kasi nakasulat sa jersey niya akala nung iba jersey ni kelly william.

Nice talo china. Para sila kalaban natin Sa cross over.

Sino babantay Kay yi jianlian? Si Aguilar? May height nga patpat naman si pingris? May katawan bansot naman si fajardo? May katawan, height eh banban naman parang slow motion gumalaw.

Ang Ganda ng defense ng Korea, mga switching Ang bibilis. In your face type defense wala kasing feeling NBA superstars.

Sana pormahan na lang saka payabangan Ang Laban para siguradong champion na gilas. Mula Sa coach puro yabang eh.

Ngayon napanood na natin ibang teams kung meron pa rin magsasabing lamang tayo Sa skills kulang lang Sa height either blind or born stupid.
