1st round recap:

It was a flawless victory in the 1st round robin pool for our team with a 6-0 win-loss record. So much high expectations with our highest-paid Center Ash Julius Mones(18304217) who averaged 15.7ppg, 12rpg, 1.8bpg in those 6 games highlighting his performance versus Nippon (17397) finishing with 11/12 FG and also showed his defensive prowess versus Taiwan swatting 5 Shot blocks.

But it's not only Mones who carried the team. There were other players stepped up too. One of them is Gener Juan Umadhay (18304749), who wasn't exposed in the 1st 2 games because of his Game Shape. He stepped up in the game vs U.A.E garnering 19 pts, 13 rebs and 6 asts, he got 30 pts, and 5 blocks in the game vs Singapore but he remained seated in the last 2 games because of his Game Shape problem. The three Point Guards named Usurpio Manuel (18303857), Mark Anthony Lintag (18306045) and Roummel Violanda (18304028) controls the flow of the Philippine offense, made a total of 86 assists for the team with only 16 Turnovers.

It was a team effort with the right players and the right tactics (esp. our 4 point win vs Taiwan (17399) and of course some advice with the past managers that made this team unbeatable. I would like to thank all the managers who supported me and watched with me during this round.


2nd round robin eliminations:

We we're lucky with our pool because we evaded Australia and Hongkong, 2 of the most powerful teams in this tournament but we are still battling China in this round. The 1st game vs Indonesia is a blowout, with Robleza leading the team with 21 points. Our next game is versus China, another powerhouse. I hope many will watch this game, i know this is worth to watch. :) After China, we'll face India which will be an easy game for us. Then Iran and Kazakhstan.

Call up:

With the impressive training regime made by one of our own DoG of the PPL, his player was the only one who is called up for the team since when i introduced the players for our team..

Marion Benedicto (18306349) - The newly acquired Power Forward. Actually, the only PF of the team.
Strengths : A PF who can shoot, drive, rebound and defend. His improvements made him one of the top 3 Bigs in the lineup.
Weaknesses: He will find it hard to create his own shots.

he must get out of foul trouble, nice acquisition sir goodluck to our game vs Chinese, just as I predicted earlier sir a 6 to 7 points win vs the mighty dragons would be posible, they got a lot of good guards, but not with their bigmen, equal lng halos sa guards positions pero mejo lamang na tayo sa loob, pero they had an average of 9-9 outside and inside defense rating although I think we can still get this game up GO GO GO PHU21!!!

Pilipinas U21 manager PH-Cezzz was seen dancing the dougie at the Pilipinas bench at the end of the game as the Pilipinas U21 team massacred the mighty China U21 team by the score of 100 to 79. Reporters were amused by PH-Cezzz's actions and flocked to interview him and this is what he had to say. " I got carried away and started dancing the dougie. No disrespect towards China U21 team but am just so happy that I lead a squad to win against China. I think its quite an honor to beat them in national games. And besides before the game I received several messages from other U21 coaches that we had no chance of winning this game. Guess its true when they say the ball is round in basketball and anything can happen."

He had the license to shoot as he was the starting SG but Mark Anthony Lintag choose to pass the ball netting a team high 8 assists. Ash Julius "Da Moneyman" Mones was a monster under the boards as he swatted away 4 balls and had 16 points. Dexter Zueleta added another 16 points on a 8-9 shooting performance.

Pilipinas U21 is so far unbeaten in this seasons U21 Asian Championships and is still on track of achieving the once impossible dream. Winning its first Asian Championship!

That was one heck of a game. Congrats to PH-Cezzz for doing a very wonderful job. Mones-Zulueta the two towers of powers for Pilipinas U21 Team!

Salamat :) Si Benedicto lang nagkaproblema sa starters, baguhan pa kasi. Props to the combo Point Guards, Violanda and Lintag, galing ng mga assists nila.

Next opponent is India, at least makaeasy easy na rin tayo nito.. :) Go Pilipinas!

May jitters pa ata si Benedicto. Pero ok na din. Maganda din naman nilaro ni Evangelista as back-up.

Nangunguna ang Australia sa kabilang conference. This could be case:

Pool E:
1. Australia
2. Hong Kong

Pool D:
1. Pilipinas
2. China

Then, we could be going up against Hong Kong in the semis.

+1 for the dougie! hahahaha

sa Pool E baka masapul tayo sa Austrailia rather than Hongkong or Singapore, we better prepare for Austrailia such a good perimeter players unlike the other teams in their pool, but I'm pretty sure we'll be #1 now in Asia

Together we will rise!

Well, looks like we will not be meeting Australia in the semis. Most probably, we will be meeting them in the Finals IF we win in the semis. Our likely opponent in the semis will either be Taiwan or Singapore.

will do our best managing next season.
