September 25 ------ Just like their tournament opener which China won by 17 points, it was Joaquin Ludovice who emerged atop the Gilas U16's offense with 15 markers, four boards, and three assists. Kieffer Alas (13 points) and Irus Chua (10 points) backed Ludovice's scoring exploits in a crushing 28-point loss.
The Chinese already started to drift away from Gilas U16 before the first half ended, but was able to fully gain separation after a 26-8 scoring dominance in the third frame. And it was 6-foot-8 Chinese standout Boyuan Zhang who did the damage with 34 points and seven boards in just roughly 30 minutes of play.
The scores:
China (87) - Zhang 34, Huan 14, Z. Wang 12, Shen 9, He 5, Huang 4, Li 3, Fu 3, Luo 3, Liu 0, Feng 0, H. Wang DNP.
Philippines (59) - Ludovice 15, Alas 13, Chua 10, Morales 8, Velasquez 4, Amos 2, Alegre 2, Diao 2, Williams 2, Daja 1, Banal 0, Gomez De Liano 0.
Quarterscores: 17-20; 29-44; 37-70; 59-87.
