FOSHAN, China — Serbia coach Aleksandr Djordjevic took exception to guard Paul Lee’s unsportsmanlike foul during the fourth quarter of Gilas Pilipinas’ 126-67 loss Monday night in the FIBA World Cup here.
Lee bumped Marko Guduric with 7:36 left in the fourth quarter, resulting in the Serbian cager to fall to the ground and almost knocking down a referee in the process.
“I don’t like dirty play and I don’t like it when you have an intention…it seemed to me an intention to hurt a player,” Djordjevic said inside the press conference room of the Foshan International Sports and Cultural Center here.
“I don’t want my player to be hurt for the third game (against Italy) that why I was so worried and you have to stop that,” he added.
