Pilipinas U21 continues their domination in the first round, beating a ready Singapore team, 87-51

Gilberto Rolando Ygnacio added 15 points and 9 rebounds to support Cinco and Celebria.

The Pinoys thought the game is over with a 21-12 first quarter lead, but the Singaporeans took advantage of the poor shooting for the Filipinos in the 2nd to keep it close at 34-31 at the half. The Filipinos, however light it up in the 2nd half, outscoring them, 53-20, including a 33-8 4th quarter run to seal the win for the Filipinos.

On an interview, Coach Fabio said, "This is not an easy game as I told my boys. This is going to be a war, and the Singaporeans gave it all. I will give credit to them for playing their A-game, and forced my boys to play their A-game as well unlike the other games."

Pilipinas U21 held the Singaporeans to 24.68% field goal shooting (19/77), including a 7 of 31 from deep, and outrebounded them, 53-44.

Pilipinas U21's dominating run comes to a screeching halt, thanks to Hong Kong U21, 80-67

Pilipinas U21's run came to a screeching halt as Hong Kong played their best game against the Filipinos, 80-67.

Hong Kong used Push the Ball - Man to Man approach, while the Filipinos used Look Inside - Man to Man.

The balanced scoring of Hong Kong is enough to beat the Filipinos as their defense as well held them to only 18 points at the half, and 5 in the 2nd quarter.

Chan Maohai lead the way for Hong Kong U21 with 17 points, 3 rebounds ,and 3 steals on 7-12 field goals. Wu Huey kuo supported Maohai with 12 points on 5-8 shooting.

Hong Kong had a slim 16-13 first quarter lead, but the Filipinos struggled mightily in the 2nd, and HK U21 took advantage of it, making it 37-18 at the half. Hong Kong U21 continued its dominance in the 3rd to seal the deal, 65-37, eventually settling for an 80-67 victory.

On an interview, Coach Fabio said, "We didn't expect our boys to play like this, but I'll give credit to Hong Kong's defense, especially they only gave us 37 points after three quarters, knowing that our team's great in scoring. The HK boys definitely kicked our butts tonight to serve as a wake-up call for us that everybody's capable of beating us, so we must not be complacent on every game."

Gilberto Rolando Ygnacio and Mar Tarroza's 18 point, 13 rebound effort each went for naught as the 28 point lead by Hong Kong U21 after 3rd quarter proved too much for Pilipinas U21 to handle.

I give credit to Naranjo, Cinco, and the rest of the guards and wings who provided great defense for us. Our bigs did great despite the 2-3 zone of Malaysia U21 the whole game. Our boys had more fire in their eyes after that first quarter deficit, and I give credit to them for that. On to the next!"

Hopefully we can beat another tough team in New Zealand."
