It's David against Goliath.

China, with its pair of talented 7-footers will go up against the Philippines with its pair of fast point guards. China easily beat Iran to arrange a title showdown with Gilas Pilipinas which beat Japan in the semifinals.

Without a doubt, China is favored to win the lone ticket to Rio Olympics. The way the team played against Iran shows its world - class skills. Gilas Pilipinas remains the underdog as it struggles in every game to win.

In the championship game, the way Andray Blatche will play against Jianlian Yi will be crucial. Should the Gilas naturalized player hold his own against Yi, Gilas might have a chance of pulling an upset.

" Puso " will be put to a test as Gilas plays against a hostile home crowd. It will definitely take more than a lot of heart to achieve what many consider an impossibility. Gilas must show the greatness of the human spirit to defy the odds and carve out a winning moment that will forever remain in the hearts of millions of Filipinos.
