MANILA, Philippines – Terrence Romeo made sure not to leave the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship without a highlight reel to boast of.
As Gilas Pilipinas trailed China by 16 with less than 6 minutes to go in the gold medal game, the GlobalPort Batang Pier star used a nifty crossover to get past his defender and went all the way to the rim for the basket.
Romeo finished with 9 points and 5 rebounds but shot just 3-of-9 from the field as the men’s national basketball team fell to China, 78-67.
The victory gave China a spot in the 2016 Rio Olympics. The Philippines can still make it there if they do well in the qualifiers that take place in 2016. – Rappler.com
