The Philippines under 16 squad duplicated the feat of the Men’s Gilas Pilipinas team by beating Chinese-Taipei 77-72 in the semi finals and earning the country a slot in the FIBA World U17 Championships in Dubai next year while booking a finals showdown with undefeated powerhouse China at the Azadi Sports Complex in Tehran, Iran.
Just like their seniors, the Filipino youngsters had to demonstrate nerves of steel and a remarkable fighting spirit to turn back the tough Chinese-Taipei team and avenge a first round 95-90 loss.
Ateneo high school hotshot Jolo Mendoza who buried four triples to finish with 28 big points left the best for last as he converted on a long three-pointer with 1:21 remaining in the game to push the Filipinos ahead for good.
