yeng guia fiba asia 2009 This is the main question to be answered as the Team Philippines takes on Japan at 9pm on the second day of Fiba Asia 2009 at Tianjin, China.

In the first game, the troop of coach Yeng Guiao has played very good basketball, leaving Sri Lanka in a state of devastation with a 115-31 monstrous victory.

“The real test for us is Japan and Korea. We’re looking forward to playing against them in the next two days.” said Guiao.

Although the Team Pilipinas lost by a small margin against the Japanese on the recent Jones Cup, Guiao firmly believe that the Filipinos can beat them. “Ang emphasis talaga is to learn as much as we can against them. We know naman in our hearts na kaya natin silang talunin pag dating sa Tianjin (FIBA Asia men’s championship).” Guiao uttered.

A victory tonight by the Philippines will give them the assurance to advance to the next round. Tomorrow, they will be facing arch-rival South Korea.
