Taipei Taiwan
Gilas Pilipinas avenges blood over pesky Taiwan A NT, 77-69. Terrence Romeo led the Philippine Basketball Team over the bitter Chinese Taipei rivals who gave the Filipinos a heartbreaking loss in FIBA Asia Manila 2013. Romeo exploded with 18 big Points, while Jayson “The Blur” Castro and Calvin “The Beast” Abueva added 16 and 15 respectively.
Speed, younger legs, and elite basketball skills stopped any uprising the Taiwan five ever mounted. Romeo, Abueva, Castro and Tautuaa hustled and weaved their wares against the bewildered Chinese side. Unbeknownst to many Taiwanese, Romeo made a mark from the get-go and wowed the crowd with several unanswered attacks to the rim. He ended-up with six points to bring RP five to a 26-20 advantage after the 1st canto.
“I feel very happy, because we were able to give every Filipino that came out here (to watch) a win,” stated an ecstatic Romeo during the after game presscon. Romeo shot an 8 of 15 fieldgoal clip and capped his stellar performance with four steals.
At the first half, Romeo also lead Pilipinas against Chinese Taipei by 11 big Points. Abueva added 9 Points for RP Five at the half. Philippines made 41.9% Fieldgoals against 30.8% of Taiwan. Pilipinas also led in charities with 66.7% opposite 37.5%. Both national squads made almost equal rebounding with RP 27 to ROCs 26.
Taiwan made a 10-4 run in the Third Quarter to close the gap yet Baldwin did not call a timeout in time. The score ended in a deadlock 54-ALL when time expired.
