Philippine coach Rajko Toroman maintained that it would take at least 10 international games for Philippine Basketball Association players to familiarize themselves with the system and blend perfectly with the core of the Smart Gilas national team. For the Serbian mentor, it means three months of regular practice with Smart Gilas, including 10 international games minimum prior to the Asian championship in Wuhan, China on Sept. 15 to 25, the qualifier for the 2012 London Olympics.
