WATCH: China dethrones Iran, targets Gilas next

Alder Almo - Philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines -- Gilas Pilipinas will be up against the only unbeaten team in the 2015 FIBA Asia Men's Championship in the gold medal match. 

China is a team on a mission after its unceremonious exit in the 2013 edition in Manila where it never reached the medal round.  But this year, China has been invincible despite only Yi Jianlian averaging in double figures with 17.4 points per game. Crafty playmaker Guo Ailon is the team's second scorer with 9.9 per outing. 

What makes China look invincible is their version of their country's Great Wall with four 7-foot players in their frontline led by Yi. 

China dwarfed the 7-foot-2 Hamed Haddadi-led Iran to continue its march to the finals.
