Shanghai wins 2012 Straits Cup invitational

Shanghai Sharks defeated Pure Youth Construction 80-62 on Monday and won the four-team 2012 Straits Cup Invitational with a 3-0 record.

Shanghai only led by one at the half but limited PY to 9 points in the third period with the help of strong defense from Tseng Wen-ting, who had 5 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, and Zhang Zhaoxu, who tallied 15 points, 12 boards and 4 blocks.

Su Yi-chieh signs with Xinjiang

Local media reported that Su Yi-chieh, who played with Taiwan Mobile last season, has signed with China’s Xinjiang and became the sixth Taiwanese player to play in China next season.

Su tested with Xinjiang two years ago but did not sign with the team.

Xinjiang made the semifinal round in the Chinese pro league CBA last season.

The six Taiwanese players to play in China next year are Su, Lin Chih-chieh (Zhejiang), Tseng Wen-ting (Shanghai), Yang Ching-min (Shanxi), Lee Hsueh-lin (Beijing) and Hong Chih-shan (Dongguan).

Taiwan Mobile’s ambitious signing

Taiwan Mobile almost revamped its entire starting roster with the signing of four national team members and looked like a team capable of contending for the championship in the new season.

Wu Tai-hao, who played for China’s Zhejiang last season, signed with the ambitious team. Wu was followed by Ho Shou-cheng, Cheng Jen-wei and Chen Shih-nian.

Taiwan defeated South Korea 88-71 in its last preliminary game, but the team obviously was still in a slump yesterday after suffering a 113-55 defeat against Japan in the semifinal.

Asian University Men’s Basketball Championship to take place once again in Taiwan

According to the Asian University Sports Federation (AUSF), the 4th Asian University Men’s Basketball Championship (AUMBC) will be held during Oct. 30 - Nov. 4 in New Taipei City, Taiwan, the fourth time that Taiwan hosts this event since 2006, but for the first time in New Taipei City.

New Taipei City, with a population of 3.9 million, is located beside Taipei City. The venue will be Sinjhuang Stadium.

Chinese Taipei University Sports Federation (CTUSF), governing body of Taiwan’s collegiate sports, announced on Oct. 1 that the Taiwan NT will be coached by Lu Ching-shan, head coach of the defending UBA champion National Taiwan University of Art (NTUA).

Four Asian teams to meet in ABA Three Goodness Championship

Four teams from Taiwan, Japan, China and South Korea will meet in the ABA Three Goodness Championship which begins today in the southern city of Kaohsiung, the second largest city in Taiwan.

The invitational tournament is co-organized by former FIBA Asia chairman Cheng Man-ky of Hong Kong and Taiwan’s Fo Guang Shan, a Buddhism organization. All the games will be played at I-Shou University Gymnasium.

Taiwan finishes sixth place in 2012 Asia Cup

Taiwan missed two jumpers in the last 15 seconds that could have tied the game and lost to China 67-63 in the classification round on Saturday, finishing for the sixth place in the 2012 Asia Cup tournament in Tokyo, Japan.

Trailing 29-24 at the half and 49-47 at the end of the third quarter, Taiwan mounted the final comeback in the final period. Lee hsueh-lin’s three tied the game at 63-63 with 2:47 remaining before Zhao Tailong made a go-ahead jumper with 1:13 remaining.

Taiwan to meet China for fifth place

Taiwan beat Uzbekistan 86-70 in the classification round on Friday and set up a clash with China for the fifth place of the 2012 FIBA Asia Cup tournament at Tokyo, Japan.

China defeated Lebanon 78-63 in the other matchup. Uzbekistan and Lebanon will play off for the seventh place.

Chen Shih-chieh led Taiwan with 13 points and Lee Hsueh-lin had 12. Tseng Wen-ting, Tien Lei and Lu Cheng-ju scored 10 apiece.

Aleksandr Kozlov led Uzbekistan with  21 points.

Lin Yu-ting leads Taiwan U-18 women’s NT in Malaysia

With experiences at the U16 and U18 Asian championship as well as the U19 World Championship, 180cm versatile forward Lin Yu-ting will be Taiwan NT’s leader at the FIBA Asia U18 Championship for Women at Johor Baru, Malaysia.

Lin will be one of the few players who was able to participate in two U18 Asia events because she made the NT roster at a very young age.

And her goal would be the same -- making the medal round and win an opportunity for a berth in the World Championship in Lithuania next year.

Tien Lei's game-winning alley-oop dunk against Qatar

Taiwan beat Qatar on Tien’s buzzer-beating dunk

Tien Lei made a tie-breaking alley-oop dunk with 1.4 seconds left as Taiwan beat Qatar 75-73 in its last preliminary game on Tuesday in the 2012 FIBA Asia Cup tournament in Tokyo, Japan.

With 1.4 seconds left, Taiwan NT came out of a timeout and executed a near perfect set play by head coach Hsu Chin-tse for the surprising win.

Tien came off a backdoor screen by point guard Chen Shih-chieh, who missed both free-throws earlier and missed an opportunity to take a two-point lead, took off toward the basket and took an inbound pass from Lin Chih-chieh for the game-winning alley-oop dunk.

Taiwan lost to Iran but made Asia Cup quarterfinal

Taiwan lost to Iran 71-63 yesterday in Tokyo, Japan and fell to 1-2 in the preliminary round of the 2012 Asia Cup but clinched a quarterfinal berth after India finishing the round with four losses.

Four of the five teams in the Group A and B will make the quarterfinal, which mean Macau and India, each with a 0-4 record, will be eliminated.

Taiwan 1-1 after two games in Asia Cup

Taiwan NT beat India 113-88 on Sunday after suffering an opening setback against host Japan on Saturday and is now 1-1 after two games in the 2012 FIBA Asia Cup tournament in Tokyo, Japan.

Jet Chang led Taiwan with 20 points, making four of five from the three-point range, in the India game. Tien Lei added 12 points.

Indian center Amritpal Singh paced his team with 22 points.

However, Taiwan head coach Hsu Chin-tse was not impressed with Taiwan’s defense, which was also why the team dropped its opening game 90-78 to Japan.

J.R. Henderson led Japan with 19 points and 10 rebounds as host Japan led from start to finish on Saturday for a revenge of a 25-point loss against Taiwan in the Jones Cup tournament.

Tien Lei led Taiwan with 19 points and seven boards and Tseng Wen-ting added 15 and 6.

Straits Cup tournament to be held in Taipei

About the Jones Cup links

I have received many emails inquiring about the Jones Cup links I posted on the blog, which many people said are not working. In fact, I have no idea what happened to the CTBA's Jones Cup website because those links work for me in Taiwan all the time despite the site would be down once in a while.

About the 2012 Jones Cup men's competition

I'm afraid that I won't have much time covering the event game-by-game and day-by-day due to my day job. I post these links below for fans and writers who are interested in the tourney. Please check them out. In the boxscores, you may have to identify who is who from their jersey numbers since the CTBA does not put players' English names in the boxscores.
