The Manila Times

Kai Sotto proud of Gilas performance   Despite their loss, Kai Sotto said that he is proud of Gilas Pilipinas' performance in their match against Angola in the FIBA World Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Sunday, August 27. Meanwhile, head coach Chot Reyes rued Gilas giving Angola 20 offensive rebounds, and the group’s shooting inefficiency in the 3-point area. Roger Pogoy, however, said that the team will continue to fight.

00:00 4 minutes for you to organize a hand-to-hand battle.

00:05 Let me answer the first thing.

00:09 I'm a survivor.

00:11 I'm sick. I'm always in pain.

00:13 I'm not able to support my family.

00:15 I'm a single parent.

00:17 I'm not able to control my children.

00:21 I'm not able to do anything.

00:23 I'm not able to do anything.

00:25 I'm not able to support my family.

00:27 I'm not able to do anything.

00:31 I'm not able to do anything.

00:33 I'm not able to do anything.

00:35 I'm not able to do anything.

00:37 I'm not able to do anything.

00:39 I'm not able to do anything.

00:41 I'm not able to do anything.

00:44 Yeah, you're right.

00:46 We did get off to a nice lead early,

00:49 but we knew that Angola was going to make a comeback.

00:55 Just got hammered on the boards,

00:58 gave up 20 offensive rebounds to the other team,

01:02 and in the end, that was the story.

01:05 I thought we took care of the ball better,

01:08 a lot better tonight,

01:09 but we just couldn't make shots.

01:10 We were 18% from three points.

01:13 It's not going to get it done.

01:14 We only made four out of 22 three-point attempts,

01:18 and held them to below 40% field goal shooting,

01:25 but basketball is a game of points,

01:28 and if you can't put enough points on the board,

01:30 it's hard to win.

01:33 Like Iver said, we just need to focus on the next game.

01:38 The objective is to get to the Olympics,

01:41 so no matter how flickering that hope is,

01:46 that hope is still alive,

01:48 so we still have to keep our heads up

01:52 and find a way to play our best on the next game.

01:59 It's still a game.

02:01 We still have a level 5,

02:03 so we're not giving up.

02:05 Again, like what I said, we have to focus on the present,

02:08 which is preparing for Italy.

02:10 Again, we can't be emotional at this time

02:14 where we have one more game left to focus on.

02:17 It's a shame, but we have to make up for it.
