to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy… and to laugh along the way
I foresee a tactical battle with both teams opting to beef up on the defense, and with both trying to occasionally outsprint the other on the offensive transition. This will be a chess match of Euro coaches, demonstrating more defense-oriented systems may not be as exciting as the glitz and glam of the American playing style, but more like a slow wrestling pin-down where brute force and proper technique holds sway.
For countries that do not have the height or size advantage, it is clear that the basketball culture developed in Europe will be more suited for them. For countries like the Philippines, it will do us good to look at the Euro system rather than continue to emulate the NBA style of play. Which is actually impossible for us to copy, in the first place.
