Matagumpay na plano ng New Zealand na pigilan si Justin Brownlee laban sa Gilas Pilipinas

Nakuha ng New Zealand Tall Blacks ang makikipot na panalo na 69-66 laban sa host Gilas Pilipinas sa FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers noong Pebrero 26, sa pamamagitan ng epektibong pag-neutralize sa bituin na si Justin Brownlee. Si Brownlee, karaniwang dominanteng puwersa, ay nakapuntos lamang ng 4 sa gitna ng mabibigat na double-teaming. Ang panalo ay nagmarka ng unang tagumpay ng New Zealand sa qualifiers pagkatapos ng mga naunang pagkatalo sa Australia.

Sa ikalawang window ng FIBA World Cup 2027 Asian Qualifiers, ginawa ng New Zealand ang lahat upang maiwasan ang pinsala na maaaring gawin ni Justin Brownlee. Ang plano nila ay gumana nang maayos sa kanilang 69-66 na panalo laban sa Gilas Pilipinas noong Huwebes, Pebrero 26, sa Manila.

Pinigil ng patuloy na double-teaming at defensive pressure mula sa Tall Blacks si Brownlee, na nagresulta sa isa sa kanyang pinakamababang scoring efforts sa national team uniform: 4 points lamang sa 2-of-10 shooting at 4 turnovers. "He’s given us the business before in recent games and so he was a large focal point for us," sabi ni New Zealand coach Judd Flavell tungkol kay Brownlee.

Noong huling pagkikita nila sa FIBA Asia Cup noong Agosto, nag-explode si Brownlee ng 37 points sa 12-of-19 shooting, bagaman natalo ang Pilipinas 94-86. Upang maunawaan ang tendencies at strengths ni Brownlee, ipinadala ni Flavell ang mga manlalaro tulad nina Reuben Te Rangi, Jordan Ngatai, Max Darling, at Carlin Davison—lahat ng hindi bababa sa 6-foot-5—upang habulin siya.

It was a defensive masterclass para sa New Zealand dahil scoreless si Brownlee sa buong first half, at ang kanyang unang bucket ay dumating lamang isang minuto sa third quarter. "He’s about 80 percent of our game plan," ani Flavell. "Wherever he is on the floor, we know that the ball is coming back to Brownlee."

"It helps that we’ve played each other a lot and it obviously helps them that they’re playing against us too and with our system and being familiar with that. But we know he takes a lot of attention. He’s a true international scorer, so the intention was that we’ve just got to be within touch distance with him all the time. He’s involved with actions, we want to make sure that there’s two guys on him, he’s got to see a lot of bodies."

Sa kabila ng struggles ni Brownlee, tumaas si Dwight Ramos na may 16 points at CJ Perez na may 15 points, na nagbigay ng magandang laban sa Tall Blacks para sa Gilas Pilipinas. Gayunpaman, ang pag-limit sa production ni Brownlee ang naging key difference para sa New Zealand, na nakuha ang kanilang unang panalo sa Asian Qualifiers pagkatapos ng two-game sweep laban sa Australia sa first window.

"We came here to get the win and we got the job done," sabi ni Flavell.
