The Chinese Taipei recalled their previous victory when they were down by 10 points against Jordan, against the Philippines with 13 points, and in China they we’re down by 10 points and made a remarkable comeback and march to the semi-finals of the tournament.
Taiwan was down by 17 points, but a late run and a buzzer-beating three-pointer by Hung Chih-Shan from just inside halfcourt to cut the deficit to just 10 points. Chinese Taipei naturalized center Quincy Davis scored with 26 points and 10 rebounds, dominating against the bigger Chinese frontcourt.
