JOHOR BAHRU (FIBA Asia U16 Championship): Philippines ran circles around the slothful Chinese defense for three-quarters of the game, but the latter’s more varied options in offense helped them win the first semifinal 85-66 on Thursday.
The win put Fan Bin’s boys in the 2010 FIBA U17 World Championship scheduled to be held in Germany next year, but the coach would certainly spend a sleepless night worried about the way his defense reacted – or didn’t react – even when pitted against a team that was smaller by almost 14 centimeters in average height.
A woeful 35% shooting percentage as against the rivals’ 60% saw China trail for almost the entire first quarter at the end of which they trailed 15-19.
A 10-0 run early in the second quarter put China ahead by a sizable margin for the first time in the game, but Philippines shot back with a spree of their own to level the scores to push China back to the way again.
But with a resourceful line-up, led by the immensely talented Guo Ailun and the robust Ju Mingxin, at their disposal only their own shooting mistakes would have kept China away from the victory.
Philippines to their credit kept the pressure on the scoreboard before China’s offensive power was unleashed in the fourth quarter.
Guo played only a 1:27 in the second half and was rested completely in the fourth quarter after having scored 11 points in the first half.
Ju added only three to his 15 in the first three quarters, but Wang Zirui who was fielded only in the second half and Zhai Xiaochuan took care of the scoring.
China thus managed to win by 19 points, the smallest margin in the Championship thus far. [via fibaasia.net]

We are doing great with these young guys because they are figthing and playing for themselves, their family and their country and not for the F*** money! These are young minds that are not yet corrupted by the politics that revolves in the sport of basketball and any other sports in our country!! Goodluck and Mabuhay kayo!!from--NYC
Very good result of the game....Coach E than an excellent performance in coaching and motivating the players hope these players will play a lot of pride...Good luck guys...Beat CHINA
FYI: These kids are getting big salaries from nokia... madaming bata jan ayaw din maglaro kung walang sweldo! it's THE TRUTH..:) goodluck BOYS!!!
The allowances these boys get are not enough for their sacrifices. They have to balance their studies, school basketball practices, and the RP practices.
Now, if some of these kids request for allowances, I think they have the right considering the hardwork and the sacrifices they're putting in. Their team is no different from the Smart Gilas Team. The Nokia RP is only the younger version. Would Chris Tiu, Rabeh, and the rest of the Smart Gilas players play for free? I don't think so...
Eh mukhang mga TATAY na tong Iranian team na to ah... kaya pala...
Go to fiba website it seems on one of their news articles that wildcards are being planned to be handed out! And JAPAN is being considred! Try to flood it and petition for Team Pilipinas!
Help petition Team Pilipinas for a wildcard slot for the Worlds! Currently under the article "The World Championships Wild Card Update Vol 2" Japan is now being considred as a candidate! I think if wr flood it right now, they may look our way. Knowing we beat Japan in the last Fiba asia!
FYI: PBA AND SMART GILAS HAS THE CHUNK OF BIG SALARIES IN SPORT OF BASKETBALL IN OUR COUNTRY! IF THESE GUYS ARE GETTING PAID BIGTIME, WELL THEY fUUUU**kNG DESERVE IT. IN THIS LIFE WERE NOTHING IS FOR FREE AND HELL EXPENSIVE!!THEY DESERVE IT!THEY ARE YOUNG AND THEY NEED SOME INCENTIVES TO PLAY AND TO PLAY GOOD. THIS IS A REWARDING SYSTEM! TODDLERS KNOW THIS! YOU SHOULD!

Team Pilipinas ni Yeng Guiao ba ang tinukoy mo?
Yung POWERADE?
YES it beated JAPAN.
Kaso nakakahiyang team ang POWERADE.
Bad mannered and undisciplined.
If may team na worthy sa WILD CARD from ASIA.
Taiwan yun. They showed a lot of HEART.
Yung POWERADE puro PORMA.
***
Tsaka sabi sa FIBA 2010 website...
Kelangan yung TEAM ay active noon 2008 at 2009.
Nung 2008... di tayo ganun ka-active at walang achievements. (2008 ah)
Isang requirement din is yung Country ay may conducive and good economy.
Matapos ang massacre/killing ng mga AMPATUAN
at pag deadma lang ni Gloria, I dont think..
nasa Good Status ang Economy natin. No Sir.
masyadong basic basketball lang ang china.... malaki lang... skill wise panis na panis satin yang mga yan...
Team Pilipinas go and get that giants,, do your best to beat them and make the fiba standing of the Philippines go up. good luck.. you can make it..

AYOS TO! kht natalo tyo sa china, 19 pts lang. it means na tlgang palaban mga players dito.. sana pag kinuha ulit kyo ng RP team, sumali ulit kyo tska i-compare nyo n un mga laro nyo sa mga US highschool and college players para sa ganun, world-class ang talent na maaachieve nyo..

Agree ako sa comment ng isang tao. Bakit parang sa ating kung talo lagi nagdadahilan. I mean lumaban naman ng okay ang team pilipinas pero parnag yung article sobra naman bayas. Kung babasahin mo mukhang Pilipinas pa ang nanalo e.
Yung kagalingan ng RP basketball minsan feel ko nasa utak lang nating mga Pinoy pero sa totoo wala. SO dapat kung talo, aminin na talo talaga. Wag naman na parang nanalo pa sila ng championship. Kaya nga content na tayo sa kalagayan ng Philippine basketball e. Dahil sa ugaling ganito.
wala namang umaapela sa pagkatalo. it's more of encouragement for doing their best despite the odds --- in height, preparation, government support, etc. Let's give the boys the credit for a big heart and uplift them so that they will retain their patriotism in the coming years and not think of going pro. Malayo pa mararating ng nga batang 'to. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
There's a comment and we criticize. That's what happened to Powerade Team Pilipinas.
This time, we Appreciate. Appreciate their hearts. Just like having a son. You need to encourage them, not to break them down.

ALIS KA DITO TALANGKA!!
FYI po yung article po sa taas, galing po yan sa Fiba Asia Malaysia dot com. Hindi po galing sa Pinas ang nagsulat nyan. Kaya wala pong bias...
I am truly proud of this young Philippine Team and its accomplishments. As long as they remain healthy and passionate about their game, they will go a long, long way. Shout off to my nephew on the team, Paolo Romero.
