Philippines vs. Senegal highlights | 2023 Heyuan WUS International Basketball - Aug. 6, 2023 

Very great addition talaga si AJ Edu. Napakasipag maglaro at very confident pa magshoot

It’s great to see that people are finally recognizing how great AJ is. Dude been a baller since his Batang Gilas days. There’s also another player that I really wanted to be in this roster and his name is Dalph Panopio.

Without a doubt Edu will be an integral part of Gilas against bigger opponents this World Cup. Imagine him match up against Al Horford and Kai Sotto against Karl Anthony Towns. 💯 This will be the best match up that we have.

It's a good sign to see those guys courageously stepping up to the extra mile, it builds up the confidence they need, konting ingat lang

The Gilas shooting skills has been improving a lot. They really played well with a good connection of passing and helping defense. Many 3 point shootings were made with smooth. Well I can say this that shooting is crucial to our Gilas and they can make it stable within the entire rounds. EJ Edu, Ray Parks and contributing teams are amazing. Proud of Gilas 🇵🇭 💪

good game gilas. kahit dehado sa tawagan ng ref, laban lang. good intensity ng mga players throughout the game. napagod mga senegal players pero ndi mga pinoy. nice rotation ng tao coach

Key takeaways from this tournament: Aj Edu, Rhenz Abando and Dwight Ramos are shoo-ins. These guys will deliver talaga anytime. No doubt these men are ready for battle when World Cup comes. They are the go to guys sa offense. Chris Newsome is a pure PG talaga, ganda opensa pag siya PG because kasi pass-first talaga. Ganda din depensa niya sa other guards kasi athletic at matangkad siya, kayang-kaya makipag sabayan sa ibang guards. Him and Dwight can hold the fort. Malonzo and Parks are amazing wings. Athletic at nag improve na shooting + defense, they are definitely shoo-ins. Pogoy, and Ravena bros need to go. Bagal parin ni Pogoy, pang Asia lang talaga, pag ibang bansa na kalaban maiiwan to. And he's too short for SG position, pag nakaharap niya mga 6'8 guards ng ibang bansa palagi to ma poposte. Well for Thirdy, sayang talaga kasi ganda na nung laro niya before siya nag Japan, he was considered as one of the futures of Gilas, nakakahinayang yung skills niya dati. For Kiefer, well he is decent naman kaso if compared to the likes of Newsome and Dwight, I'll take both of them any day. Tsaka may tendency si Kiefer na hindi pinapasa at pinipilit niya yung mga plays kahit alanganin. CJ Perez is spectacular, definitely a shoo-in. Great defense at offense, two-way player pa. Pwede PG, pwede rin SG. Any of those positions, aggressive siya anytime he has the chance and kinakalabaw talaga kalaban. Aguilar, well I'll give him benefit of the doubt kasi need talaga natin bigman, he's a decent back-up naman kasi he's a PF and he can play alongside Edu, Fajardo and Sotto. He can provide a solid 15-20 mins for defense okay na. Fajardo is Fajardo, Mr. Fundamentals talaga, you can't beat him sa ilalim pag nasa poste. Kakalabawin ka talaga ni Junmar, lakas pa rin pag naka position. Medjo poor lang sa shot-blocking, but that's why we have the likes of Malonzo, Aguilar, Sotto and Edu. The athletic guys will take care of the shot-blocking if necessary. As for the other guys, I can't say much about them kasi hindi naman ganon kalaki playing time. Adding Sotto and Jordan Clarkson in this lineup and it's a wrap. We will definitely make noise. So for my line-up, it's not final yet, I'm missing maybe a wing(?) but I want these guys to make it. Point Guard Position: Chris Newsome Dwight Ramos (two-way player, can be SG also) Shooting Guard: Rhenz Abando Jordan Clarkson CJ Perez (two-way player, can be PG also) Small Forwad: Jamie Malonzo Bobby Ray Parks Jr. Bigs: AJ Edu, Kai Sotto, Japeth Aguilar, Junmar Fajardo

May sustansya tlaga ung laro ni AJ Edu napakasipag sa depensa at opensa

Kai,June Mar,AJ and Japeth will be the best big man rotation in PH history. Scottie & Perez can run point Ramos & Parks can be the tall two way wings Malonzo is the Swiss Army knife for gilas Clarkson will be the much needed go to option Abando & Oftana for shooters! (Personally I choose Oftana over Pogoy) Out si Kief & Thirdy Kief is a good PG pero he’s only effective with the ball in his hands. With Clarkson in the team his role is redundant. Plus his Defense is trash. So Thirdy hilaw pa talaga out na muna sya. Best final 12 for the WC out of the available players Scottie Thompson CJ Perez Rhenz Abando Ray Parks jr Dwight Ramos Jordan Clarkson Calvin Oftana Jaime Malonzo Japeth Aguilar AJ Edu June Mar Fajardo Kai Sotto

Everyone work hard for the country the spirit n pride as filipino they put it all. Congrats guys

Gilas did a fantastic job on both side of the court despite the height difference. Keep it up! Gilas Pilipinas Puso!

ibang iba ngaun ang GILAS sobrang laki ng improvements masasabi q sa ngaun na may panama na din tau sa wakas, kpg ganto lagi ang laro nila ay tlga nga nmang nakakaaliw👏👏👏👏

This roster of gilas the best so far in terms of height specially the addition of sotto and clarkson but for me the 2013 gilas line up who won as the runner up in fiba asia is the best hope this new gilas will bring us to the top and make philippines great again😊

Grabe Junmar. Solid sa poste, kahit mahaba katapat hindi umuubra. Just imagine, kung athletic to si Junmar wala to sa PBA ngayon. May tira, poste, IQ, masipag. Kung 1 on 1 play, mintis lang ang kalaban niya haha

Aj Edu is back!!! Can't wait to see the old Sotto and Edu twin tower tandem again. C- Sotto - Pf- Edu lock this spot.

Edu performing well, i hope he improves more. Need pa rin ng Gilas to improve their outside defense. Its raining 3s for Senegal. Our defense has to improve.

Gumaganda na Ang chemistry ng gilas .. maganda din na nagagamit c fajardo sa ilalim .. Isa pang additional player na suit na suit sa gilas ay c edu .. sana isama xa sa final lineups ng gilas .. Isang panalo p ulit laban sa Iran .. go gilas PUSO!!

aj edu solid game gives gilas a push to win against taller senegalis

Di na ko magtaka kung kasama sa final 12 ang baldog bros ni choke at ilaglag si abando...kahit pangit laro ni thirdy babad pa rin. Si japeth talagang takot sa ilalim 6'9" na mas gusto sa labas... Si bam adebayo 6'9" din pero sentro. Wag ng pilitin maglaro ang mga injured at baka ma-compromise pa ang chemistry ng current line up, Si perez di talaga pang pg ang laro, napilitan lng dahil wala si thompson. Hilig sumalaksak kahit open mga kasama sa wings. Mas maganda rotation ngayon kaysa nung 1st game nila na puro pick n roll, iba nagagawa ng pumapasok mga 3 pts. Hopefully ma sustain nila yan hanggang sa hul8ng laban nila sa iran team b

Okay namn yung play ng gilas kaylangan lang tlaga maging consistent sa 3points

AJ Edu good addition, but there's player who shouldn't be part of FIBAWC goodluck on August! 🇵🇭

Sipag ni CJ ất walang takot sumalaksak Khit nabubutata. GG to Junmar, Dwight , Kiefer , Pugoy , ray and ofcourse AJ Edu .

Kaya naman Manolo kahit wlang import. Shooting sa labas lang tlaga Ang kailingan.. Buti nlng kayang makipag sabayan c japeth at edu sa rebound at depensa.. at yong game play NASA mga shooter tlaga sa labas. Importanti tlaga sa laro yong team work. Good job.

lakas ni abay tlga

Right now I think Edu is playing much better than Kai. Hindi maxado pilit mga tira. Consistent din outside shooting and rebounding.

Anlaki ng development ni fajardo kung kailan nagkaedad na

Smooth partner for pg position. Perez and ramos. Both good ball rotation iq plus drive and shooting.

Edu has potential in ASIANGAMES AND SEAGAMES against bolden or dame of indonesia

Very small line up paano na kung matangkad ang kalaban tapos x10 pa ang bilis at galing ng Senegal dapat baguhin ang line up ng Gilas talo talaga sa height at bilis. Wishful line-up for Gilas World Cup: 1. Kai Sotto 2. Aj Edu 3. Carl Tamayo 4. Justin Baltazar 5. JunMar Fajardo 6. Japeth Aguilar 7. Jaime Malonso 8. Dwight Ramos 9. Jordan Clarkson 10. Kobe Paras 11. Rhenz Abando 12. Scottie Thompson

kiefer and thirdy ravena must be out of the final 12...

AJ Edu Is Great both Offense and Defense.

Nice one, guys... the difference from the previous game is that this time, the Phil team members were not afraid to engage the other team's physicality...

Imagine having Tamayo, balti and Edu in one team

I will be shock if AJ edu will not be in the final roster..

Iba talaga yung binuo ni coach tab na gilas di sa hate ko tong current lineup ng gilas pero grabe talaga sila abarrientos nun.

For me ravena bros are not too much competitive if we are talking about international game yes sa japan good's yung laro nila and even sa asian games cuz their competitors are small player's not just like international players stand's 6'0 up mahihirapan silang makipag sabayan specially in defensive side

Ganda ng pasahan at rotation nila!!!! Looking like a team!!!!!👌👌👌

Congrats Gilas ng pilipinas we proud you all

Ipag dasal natin wag ma injury mga bashers ng Gilas Ngayon 😂

From what I've seen so far in this tournament, it seems their defense is good enough but their offense is still too sloppy and stagnant... They indeed badly need a true playmaker because although Perez have been successful penetrating and gravitating the opponents' defense, which I think JC would be great as well, he tends to do heroball most of the times... I'm disappointed as well on Japeth and JunMar because they're the veterans of this team but they're the ones who looked lost most of the time especially on offense... On the other hand, Edu is showing every game that he's a good backup plan if something happens to Kai... I'm worried about the chances of Abando though because he's atrocious the past 2 games (too many turnovers and poor shot selections)...

AJ Edu a modern big man who can shoot d ball from d outside

Ngayon ko lang nakita maglaro si edu, marunong pala talaga yung bata. Sana ilagay sa final line up.

Junemar was the moneymaker. Most of his points came from the post against bigger athletic guys. He can score easy if not doubled. Too bad he ha limited touches of the basketball. Chot only use him for screens.

Edu ,Japeth Junemar with Kai would be perfect.Congrats Gilas👏🏻👏🏻

great win! I still believe we need a very nice pg with decent to good playmaking

Kailangan Ng Gilas fast game, outside shooting and defense. Laban Gilas! 🇵🇭

Edu should be a shoe in this WC, pero malamang mas pipiliin pa rin ni Chot Si Thirdy over Edu sa final 12.

Kai should take notes on what Edu does better on being a center

Locals palang yan pero palag na palag what more pa kaya kung may JC na high score at kai sotto sa depensa

Congrats Gilas..galingan nyo sasusunod na mkalaban

Angola and Senegal are the same level we have the chance

Edu and Julmar plus kai and JC wow thats a good impact to the team of GILAS ... we will see next games..goodluck guys..

Defense is the key.

This is a teamwork,good luck gilas

Masterful defense. Congrats Gilas

kuya mo junmar galing tlga,perez,aj adu, consistent

grabe yung block kay perez

Congrat's Coach! You are the best!

Remove pogoy and ravenas.

i am impressed with Edu. Athletic big man that could shoot 3s.

🇵🇭 GILAS PILIPINAS def. SENEGAL, 75-63 The Scores: PHILIPPINES 75 - Perez 14, Edu 13 (7reb), Ramos 12 (8reb), Fajardo 11, Parks Jr 8, Newsome 4, Aguilar 4, Abando 3, Pogoy 3, K. Ravena 3, Malonzo 0, Oftana 0, T. Ravena 0. SENEGAL 63 - Boissy 16, Ndoye 9, Brancou 8, Lamine 6, Gora 6, Diop 5, Amar 5, Ousmane 3, Mamadou 3, Samba 2. Quarters: 16-17, 36-39, 47-53, 75-63. Next Game: GILAS vs. IRAN B (August 7) 8pm

Glad to see Ray Parks Jr. back

Mga linya ng basher ni Chot: 1. Coach Tab na lang (ayaw nga pinipilit pa) 2. DDO o bara-bara lang plays ( Kahit isang offensive plays di naman nila alam) 3. Favoritism sa Ravena bros. ( Yung mga gusto naman nila ayaw sumipot) 4. Laging Learning Experience (as if naman walang naipanalo ang Gilas at yung coach na idol nila napachampion ang Gilas.)

Baka nga natututo na ang Gilas. Ang dami na nilang learning experiences.

Good as back-up lang si jun mar fajardo sa center position: mabagal siya at liability sa depensa; okay ang kanyang offense kung mas maliit ang kanyang kabantayan; pero pag mas malaki sa kanya, kayang-kaya siyang kainin ng mga athletic na kasing laki niya - lalo pa kung mas malaki sa kanya (kaya pam PBA lang talaga si jun mar fajardo). si japeth aguilar at AJ Edu magandang combination sana sa frontline; problema naman kay japeth ay ung basketball I.Q. niya, pero when it comes to athleticism walang problema. Si AJ Edu walang problema kayang sabayan ang mga athletic na big man lalo na sa depensa may outside shooting pa; si Japeth may outside shooting naman yan, kaya lang palaging hesitant kaya nauuwi sa turnovers. Ewan ko ba tong kay japeth puede naman siyang mangalabaw sa ilalim kasi may galaw naman siya kaya lang palaging hesitant sa opensa at over-agressive naman sa depensa kaya palaging nape-peke-an. kaya solid ang frontline kung kai sotto at aj edu; then back-up jun mar fajardo at japeth aguilar

Congratulations gilas pilipinas nice game😊👍🏀

Yeeesss... Panalo at Naka bawi ang pinoy... Basta swertehin Lang tayo sa outside shooting mananalo tayo... Mabuhay ang pilipinas...

Ayan ang kailangan natin. big man na nakakashoot sa tres and AJ Edu gave it to us. Sana magkaroon din ng confidence and green light to shoot three si Japeth and Junemar. Magiging deadly ang Pinas sa international once madevelop ang shooting.

I'm surprise with aj edu sobrang sipag SA rebound hustle play

ITO YONG DEPERENSYA SA TAMAD AT MASIPAG KAHIT NASAYO NA LAHAT NG ADVANTAGE KUNG TAMAD WALA RIN SAYANG ANG HABA AT SKILL ISAPA YUNG ISA HINDI NAG DADALAWANG ISIP TUMIRA MAY KUMPYANSA SA SARILI PAPASOK O HINDI ....HINDI MALAMYA BUO ANG LOOB....

Congratulations Kabayan ❤🎉

2-0 vs SENEGAL... they will remember this forever until they beat us..

Congrats Gilas Pilipinas 👏👏👏

Pray for the good health always gilas pilipinas…laban pusooooo…

Keifer for the dagger 3. Good job by Gilas. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Kung palaging ganito laruan ni Junemar at Aj Edu masasabi natin may pag asa sa 1st round. May fighting spirit ang players natin ngayon gusto nila mka bawi sa Senegal.

I love how the Gilas took a sweet revenge against Senegal

Ready na Sana many bash ung mga bashers ni Choke Reyes eh, kaso nanalo pala Gilas. 😂

Sana ipalabas niyo sa One Sports yung knockout stages ng FIFA Women's Football World Cup 2023

My Final 12 PG/SG- Clarkson, Scottie, Newsome SG- Ramos, Perez, Abando SF- Parks, Malonzo PF- Edu, Aguilar C- Sotto, Fajardo sana talaga makasama sa Final line up sila Edu, Abando, Malonzo mga two way Players defender/Shot blocker at Hustle player masipag pa, shooters rin

Sana idagdag nila si Panopio..napaka husay na shooter..european style

Nakakamiss si Carl Tamayo and Baltazar. They could be great addition and of course the fearless shooter, Jordan Heading. Pupusta na ako nyan cgurado for PH. Pero yung ganitong lineup with Ravena bros, nakakaumay. Pag nagddribble sila, parang magtturnover talaga at puro pilit yung tira hahahah

Dahil ni coach lalong gumagaling ang gilas✌️⛹️

JMF and Edu makes a good twin towers for gilas. Edu can play outside while JMF is good inside. hope coach chot can use this big man combo more oftenly. and adding JC makes it more deadly

Kaya iba talaga kapag nakapaglaro sa US NCAA DIV 1 Toledo University ganda ng fundamentals kita sa laro ni edu dapat ganuon din ginawa ni kai baka masxmagaling pa sya ngayon

God bless

Sana masanay gilas na pagsabayin dalawang malalaki para may laban tayo sa iba

Mpa wow ka kay AJ edu 💪💪

Ang galing talaga Ng gilas walang mintis sa shooting LAHAT pasok malamang champion na to Kasi LAHAT Ng Tira pasok

Dream Line Up for Gilas in this generation- Kai Sotto- C Ange Kouame-PF AJ Edu-SF Dwight Ramos- Two-way guards Rhenz Abando- Two-way guards

Galing talaga ni Edu napaka talented siya rin noon host ng Game Kana ba!

again, congrats::: Gilas Pilipinas!!!

My Final 12 hehe CJ Perez Abando Junemar Fajardo Kai Sotto Jordan Clarkson Edu Parks Newsome Pogoy Kief avena Ramos Malonzo

Yan ang takbuhan hindi naman talaga kailangan si kai mapapahiya lang kapag takbuhan na ang laban wag na isali jan si kay

Aj plus Cj !!!! Galing!!!

This might be the final line-up if Scottie remain injured: Newsome Clarkson Ramos Aguilar Sotto Perez Abando Malonzo Edu Fajardo Parks K.Ravena over Oftana and Pogoy for back up PG **Thompson- injured

Naka tres si abando sabay nilabas na agad. Anong klaseng playing time yun?

IMAGINE KUAME IF HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A LOCAL WITH KAI, EDU, CLARKSON THEN ADD MORE CONSISTENT SHOOTERS THEY WILL MAKE HISTORY FOR PHILIPPINES BASKETBALL JUST NEED A RIGHT PROGRAM AND COACH AND PLAYERS COMMITMENT WILL SHOULD BE DOMINATING ASIAn BASKETBALL

Praying for Perez, Abando, Ramos, Clarkson, Pogoy, Oftana, Malonzo, Aguilar, Fajardo, Edu, Sotto for FINAL 12! 🙏 Then either Thompson, Baltazar, Navarro, or Tamayo sa isa. 🙏

Pakisabi dun sa isa na wag kainin ung mic, rinig na rinig ung paghinga.
