The dreaded sideline existence that is Yeng Guiao is counting the days with trepidation as the hour of reckoning ways.

That will be the most difficult choice very likely coming in the subsequent 3 weeks, claimed Guiao, head coach of Powerade Workforce Pilipinas, for the duration of follow Tuesday night at The Arena in San Juan.

With 7 days to go prior to when the national staff leaves for the William Jones Cup tournament in Taipei, Guiao is not shedding rest around how to deal with South Korea and Japan, the Philippines companions, alongside with Sri Lanka, in Team A of the FIBA-Asia Globe Championship qualifier in Tianjin, China subsequent month.

Neither is he bristling around a assertion built by an Iranian participant discounting the RP staff as a contender for a main 3 spot to the sixteenth Globe Championship in Istanbul, Turkey subsequent 12 months.

Thats a first-rate matter, the Iranians staying complacent and counting us out, he claimed. That will give us the incentive to demonstrate them mistaken.

Guiao, instead, is fretting around how to go about deciding upon the closing 12 players for Tianjin from a roster of 14 a judgment he has to hand down in the midst of the Taipei tournament.

All of these guys have invested so considerably in the staff, and all of them had been conducting nicely devoid of any exception considering the SEABA, he claimed.

Accidents and sickness, Guiao claimed, will engage in a major portion in deciding who gradually to just take apart for a tranquil speak.

We will however depend on our first of all standards the the very least healthier guys are heading to be the prime candidates for the cutoff, he claimed.

With forward Kelly Williams however recovering from a blood problem, the arrival of six-foot-9 Japeth Aguilar from the States two weeks back has brought back again to 14 the selection of candidates.

And even though Guiao has refused to promise the inclusion of any participant to the official lineup, it is mainly considered the shot-blocking son of previous Northern Consolidated middle Peter Aguilar is a shoo-in.

A few some others may perhaps also have a foot in the doorway.

I would hate to minimize any individual like Ryan Reyes, Guiao claimed. But if hes not healthier then, we have to make that choice. Im really hopeful, but the truth is, that he can be healthier at the very least for Tianjin.

Reyes joined Jayjay Helterbrand and Sonny Thoss on the bench once pulling a hamstring versus Malaysia in the 8th SEABA Mens Championship in Medan, Indonesia previous April.

Helterbrand (hamstring) and Thoss (strained knee) have considering returned, leaving Reyes ailment in question.

A major problem looms in the horizon: What if all 14 players are healthier by July 22, the deadline for submission of entries to the twenty fifth FIBA Asia Mens Championship?

Then I will have a major headache, Guiao claimed. But I would somewhat have that drawback, deciding upon from 14 healthier guys, than using any individual injured.
