HANGZHOU: After LA Tenorio concluded the team prayer Thursday as Gilas Pilipinas wrapped up the afternoon practice for the Asian Games final against Jordan on Friday (tonight) head coach Tim Cone delivered the mantra that was to govern their approach in the gold medal game.
'Guys, yesterday ended last night,' Cone told the gathered players. 'There's no more yesterday, it's all gone. Don't live there, don't live in the past. You gotta start living forward. Move forward, fellas. Move forward.'The group mumbled in agreement and then broke up.With that, the Nationals put behind them the gut-wrenching one-point win over Iran in the quarterfinals, and the 'miraculous' one-point victory over host China in the Final Four.
Are these adjustments major?'We got beat by 25 points, so, yeah, they gotta be pretty major,' Cone said. 'We're not gonna go out and kinda keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. That's the definition of insane.'We're gonna go out there and change things up. I think we're better at some of the things we're doing already, that we weren't when we played them last time, so we'll see.
