Led By Tien Lei's 16 points and Yang Yu-min's 19, Taiwan NT trounces South Africa 100-57 in the opening game of the 24th William Jones Cup Invitational Tournament yesterday. Russia and South Korea also won their opener.
195cm F/G Chen Hsin-an, who sustained an eye injury prior to the East Asia Games and did not play in the ABC Championship, turned in a subpar performance in his first game back. Chen scored only 4 points on 2-8 shooting and was obviously out of shape.
