Taiwan White Wins Two Straight in William Jones Cup Group Stage

The 45th William Jones Cup group stage saw the Taiwan White team, under the leadership of point guard Kao Kuo‑hao, edge Jordan 66–64 to notch a second consecutive victory in the preliminaries.

Kao delivered a standout performance, scoring 20 points and showcasing his three‑point shooting prowess. His contributions were framed as a product of both individual skill and the collective effort of the Taiwan White squad, with his leadership cited as a catalyst for the team’s cohesion.

Beyond Kao, the rest of the roster displayed solid play on both ends of the court. Defensively, the team erected a sturdy barrier that limited Jordan’s scoring opportunities, while offensively it generated multiple chances to attack the basket.

The coaching staff also received credit for the win, with the head coach’s tactical adjustments and strategic planning highlighted as instrumental in guiding the team to success.

The triumph secures Taiwan White’s place in the next round, which will be the final group‑stage game. Maintaining the same level of performance will be essential if the team hopes to prevail in that decisive match and secure qualification for the knockout phase.

Officials noted that each contest in the tournament reflects the players’ hard work and dedication, and that the victory represents the cumulative effort of the entire squad rather than any single individual.

The win reinforces the team’s resolve to continue competing vigorously, emphasizing the importance of fighting spirit and teamwork as core values for Taiwan White.
