USA-Passing Lane edges Philippines, wins Jones Cup title
USA-Passing Lane, who has already clinched the 2005 Jones Cup title yesterday, beat Philippines 99-96 in the finale and came away with a perfect 9-0 record. But the final game was not easy as Philippines almost forced the game into overtime until team leader Asi Taulava missed the desperation three-point shot.
Passing Lane came out strong as expected and led by as many as 19 points. But Philippines was too experienced to let the game become a blowout. Taulava, who made two threes in the first half, attacked the rim repeatedly in the second half and led Philippines' furious comeback.
With Philippiines on their tails, Marcus Douthit made a turnaround jumper with 1:23 left to make the score 94-91. Taulava and Mike Williams made a free-throw each before Anthony Helterbrand made a twisting layup to cut the deficit down to one point with 56.2 seconds to go.
Ben Walker and Jordan Salvador traded basket as Passing Lane still led 97-96 with 22 seconds left. But Passing Lane broke down a Philippines full-court press in the next play as Steffon Bradford jammed home the most crucial basket of the game.
Philippines didn't give up. Coach Reyes called timeout to set up the final play. Taulava caught the inbound pass and faked a high post screen before launching the desperation three-pointer that bounced out.

Jones Cup Day 8: Tsun's almost-perfect game leads Taiwan past Philippines
Center Tsun Wen-din shot 10 for 10 from the field and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line en route to a 28 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 blocks performance and helped Taiwan NT edge Philippines 82-76. Tsun blocked Asi Taulava's layup with less than 30 seconds to go to seal the victory for the host.
Taiwan, without the service of big man Wu Dai-hao who was injured, was hot from the outside and opened the game with a 23-9 run. Led by Taulava and Hontiveros, Philippines made the final push in the last four minutes to cut the deficit down to four points but Tsun's timely block saved the day.
In another close game, Takanori Onishi made a turn-around winning jumper with 34.8 seconds left as Japan finally get a win in the tournament. Japan beat AIS 71-70 and is now 1-7 with only one game left.

Jones Cup Day 5 - No more undefeated: Philippines and Samara shocked
Halfway thru the tournament, things started to get interesting. After two upsets, top-heavy Jones Cup standing became a long-jam. Philippines and Samara are no more undefeated as Taiwan NT upset Russia-Samara 68-66 while Philippines was shocked 76-80 by AIS -- basically a junior team.
Under the single round robin format, USA-Passing Lane is now officially the one and only favorite.
With a little help from the refs (so-called homecourt advantage, isn't it?) and redhot shooting of Chang Chih-feng and Yang Yu-min, Taiwan NT came away with an important win. Taiwan NT deserved credit for their defensive intensity for the whole 40 minutes. However the outcome wasn't set before Samara missed two potential winning three-pointers in the last 8 seconds.
Philippines' loss was a shock. Steve Weigh of AIS knocked down a game-deciding three-pointer with 35.4 seconds left to increased the lead to five points.
Coming off a four-game losing streak, AIS didn't lay down and die versus the PBA All-Stars. On contrary, Philippines doesn't look like a team who won four straight. Philippines' head was never in the game until the final five minutes. Their 24 turnovers hurt even more.
The Passing Lane-Korea game became a three-point shootout as both teams shot over 40% from three. Passing Lane made 14 three-pointers while Koreans made 15. But Passing Lane dominated the paint just like the previous four games. For the frist time in the tourney, Korea's defense looked helpless.

Jones Cup Day 4: Qatar beat Korea with brilliant defense
Three of five games of the day ended in lopsided results, which is why Qatar-Korea game the best game of the day. Qatar took Korea's game away with its solid defense, no matter it's man-to-man or zone defense. Korea's best player C Joo Tae-Soo was limited to 11 points.
Philippines' Asi Taulava turned in the best performance by sinking all 11 of his shots en route to game-high 29 points, although he only made 7 of 15 free-throws.

Jones Cup Day 2: Passing Lane slams Taiwan NT
With four key players out of the Jones Cup lineup, Taiwan NT couldn't keep up with the Americans. Passing Lane was not only bigger and stronger, its outside shooting was awesome. Taiwan NT, who was known for its three-point shooting, shot 13-for-36(36%) behind the three-point line, while Passing lane made 12 of 29(41%). Also, Taiwan NT was pounded on the boards, trailing 31-59 in the category.
Steffon Bradford and Terrance Johnson led Passing Lane with 17 each. Yang Yu-ming was Taiwan's top scorer with 16.
Taiwan's Chen Hsin-an, Tien Lei, Lin Chi-jay and Chang Chih-feng all will sit out the Jones Cup due to injury.

Exodus: Five players leave ETSN
A total of five players left ETSN, which has more than twenty players on its payroll, and signed with other SBL teams. Ironically, the exodus will not hurt ETSN because its roster is as deep as you can imagine.
Shan Wei-fan, Lin Che-wei and Lin Che-li signed with Taiwan Beer. Yua Yin-li and Chen Shun-hsiang signed with Bank of Taiwan.
All five left mainly because of lack of playing time. And none of them except Shan Wei-fan cracked ETSN starting lineup.
A couple coaching moves are intriguing, too. Huang Wan-long, Song-shan High School head coach and former Taiwan Beer assistant, will coach Taipower women’s team as an assistant. He will coach Song-shan HS and Taipower at the same time.
Dacin head coach Liu Jia-fa, who had been coaching both Dacin and Taiwan Normal University in the past three years, will focus solely on Dacin starting next season.
Chiu Da-tsun was hired as head coach, but will be probably listed as an assistant, by Taiwan Beer last week.

Taiwan NT 2-0 in SoCal Summer Pro League
Taiwan NT, which entered Southern California Summer Pro League as Frontline Sports, won both of their games and finished a month-long U.S. training tour in a high note.
Taiwan edged Senegal NT 87-85 on a winning shot by Yang Yu-min with 3.5 seconds left on July 9th. Today Taiwan NT beat NBA Pro 110-104. The REAL Frontline Sports will take over the remaining schedule in the summer league, while Taiwan NT heads back to Taiwan to prepare for the upcoming Jones Cup.
Yang Yu-min, who struggled quite a bit in the first half of the 2004-05 SBL season, kept his hot-hand going by scoring 53 points in two games. Center Wu Dai-hao, guards Chou Shih-yuan and Lee Hsueh-lin also played very well.
Taiwan NT finished a month-long training tour in Los Angeles, where they played with local college teams and mix-up teams before entering SoCal Summer Pro League.
In the second-half of the year, Taiwan NT will compete in three events -- Jones Cup in Taipei, East Asian games in Macao and Asian Championship in Qatar.

Tien has a lot to learn in Las Vegas
Tien Lei, whose name listed as Garrett Tien in Sacramento Kings summer league team roster, got his first taste of American basketball when he only got one rebound in his first game wearing an NBA uniform. Tien played two minutes in a Kings’ 71-60 win over the New Jersey Nets in the Las Vegas Summer League.
Obviously Tien spent most of the game sitting on the end of the bench to watch and learn. He had a DNP-CD in the first game, which Sacramento lost to Phoenix Suns 81-75.
Tien was measured at 204cm without shoes, about an inch taller than what he was listed (202cm) in Taiwan. Playing mostly at power forward and center in Taiwan, Tien has to learn to transform himself as a shooting guard or small forward in America.
Sacramento has three games left (Bulls, Clippers and Mavericks) in the Vegas Summer League.
There are a couple of Asian players in the Vegas Summer League. 5-11 guard Shuji Takei from Waseda University plays for THE TICKET. Bang Sung Yoon, a 605 shooter from South Korea who spent last season in the NBDL, plays for Dallas Mavericks. 6-11 Menk Bateer from China plays for the Chicago Bulls. Jun Iwasa from Japan plays for P. MILLER team.

Chiu Da-tsun named Taiwan Beer new head coach

Chen Hsin-an will return to Taiwan, probably miss Jones Cup
Chen Hsin-an decided to return to Taiwan from U.S. and continue rehabbing his injured left knee. The injury will keep him out of the NBA summer league and probably the Jones Cup too.
Chen suffered the injury in the closing minutes of the SBL Finals Game Three. He was diagnozed as partially-tear knee ligament which is an old injury. During the first couple weeks in Sacramento, Chen could only have light practice and running. Since the injury is not getting better, Chen decided to go back to Taiwan.
Chen said he will see how the rehab goes and focus on playing for Taiwan NT in the Asian Championship in Qatar and making the NBA pre-season training camp.

10 teams will play in Jones Cup men’s competition
The annual Jones Cup will tip-off on July 16th. The weird thing is CTBA still hasn’t released game schedule and even the exact teams which will enter the tournament. As far as I know, there are a total of ten men’s team will participate.
They are: Taiwan NT, Japan NT(U-24), South Korea NT(probably Sanmu, their military team), Samara from Russia, former ABA team Long Beach Jam from U.S.(which is expected to join the NBDL in 2006-07 season), Qatar NT, Australia’s AIS(Australia Institute of Sports), Kazakhstan NT, India NT and a team from Philippine, probably a PBA team or a mixed-up All-Star Team.
Once the teams and schedule are set, the information will be posted here.

Tien Lei invited to Sacramento Kings summer league team
Two-time SBL regular season MVP Tien Lei is among 17 players invited by the Sacramento Kings to participate in the 2005 Reebok Vegas Summer League (VSL) at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. He is the second Taiwanese player invited to NBA summer league or pre-season training camp.
Chen Hsin-an was the first Taiwanese player to play in the NBA summer league or pre-season training camp when he played with the Kings in 2002 and the Nuggets in 2003. Both times he was cut.
The Kings’ summer league team will play five games in 10 days and will be joining 13 other NBA teams that will field teams in the Vegas Summer League.

Tien Lei and Chen Hsin-an have been in Sacramento for a couple weeks participating individual workout and practicing with local players. Chen is still under rehab for his knee injury and will probably go back to Taiwan earlier because all he can do is light practice.
Chen is expected to miss the NBA summer league and the William Jones Cup but will probably ready for the Asian Championship and the NBA preseason camp.

Transaction – Two players switch teams
Combo guard Hong Chi-chao transfers from Yulon Dinos to Videoland Hunters. SF Hsu Shi-ching goes from Dacin Construction to Bank of Taiwan. Both players were left in the end of bench in current teams and will get more playing time in new environment.
