Thanks to Richard Dy of SPIN, we have an idea on how SMART-Gilas Pilipinas will be preparing for the 2014 FIBA World Cup, which starts on August 30.
Based from that report, it can be simplified into something like this:
1. FIBA Asia Cup. Wuhan, China. July 11-19. Already slotted to play against Chinese-Taipei (7/12 1230pm), Uzbekistan (7/13 245pm), Singapore (7/14 245pm) and Jordan (7/15 515pm). QFs on 7/17. SFs on 7/18. Finals on 7/19.
2. The Last HOME Stand. SMART-Araneta Coliseum. July 22/23. It started with this tweet:
These are the exhibition charity fund-raising games involving Blake Griffin, Damian Lillard, Paul Pierce and DeMar DeRozan. Details on that will be based from this site.
3. Miami training camp from July 25 - August 4.
4. Vittoria tuneups vs Angola (August 8) and an ACB (a.k.a Spanish League) Select team (August 10)
5. French invitational tournament. Antibes, France. August 15-17. Slotted to play against France (8/15), Australia (8/16) and Ukraine (8/17).
6. Vittoria tuneups vs Euskadi (August 20) and Angola (August 21).
7. Guadalajara tuneups vs Dominican Republic (August 24) and Egypt (August 25).
