Smart Gilas Pilipinas hopes to step up its buildup for the FIBA Asia Championship with tune-up matches with Jordan here and a stint in China after it pulled out of the Doha meet due to the unavailability of the Talk n Text players."We really don't have an alternative for Doha," said Smart Gilas coach Rajko Toroman, referring to the four-team tournament that would have pitted the Nationals against the Lebanese, Syrians and the host Qataris.
"But we will try to play two games against Jordan in Manila and something in China," he added.
Toroman said the team needs at least five tune-up games to blend well heading into the FIBA-Asia Championship slated Sept. 15-25 in Wuhan, China which stakes a lone berth in next year’s London Olympics.
