Hours after his heroics against Doha, Manila Chooks’ Chico Lanete entered the half court of the Al Gharafa Sports Complex as part of the 2021 FIBA 3 × 3 Doha Masters World Tournament in two points.
Lanete, the oldest player in the tournament at 41, continued his hot shots, leading the playoffs with 8 out of 10 baskets made on Saturday.
The former 5-on-5 pro only missed two shots on the first shelf (first and fourth balls) before knocking down his last six shots.
Lanete advanced to the final round which takes place later in the day at 11:30 PM (Manila time).
Also advancing to the Final Four were Lithuania’s Darius Tarvydas de Saklai with seven, Edmonton’s Steve Sir with six, and Graz’s Filip Kramer of Austria with 5 (26.45 seconds).
Kramer was tied at five with Novi Sad’s Marko Milakovic, Liman’s Nebojsa Kilijan and Riga’s Karlis Lasmanis, but was able to finish both racks with the fastest time.
The winner of the penalty shootout takes home $ 500. No Filipino has yet won this contest at the World Tour level.
