(CNA Reporter Li Chien-chung, Taipei, 18th) The TPBL Formosa Dreamers hosted the Taipei Taishin Mars at home today. Relying on Chiang Yu-an, who drained four 3-pointers to score 15 points along with 6 assists, the team led to a final blowout victory of 99 to 66, securing their second consecutive win.
After securing today's victory in the Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL), the Dreamers are now only half a game behind the league-leading Taoyuan Taiwan Beer Leopards.
Although the Mars only fielded a single import player in the first quarter, they 'unexpectedly' led the Dreamers 27 to 24, shooting 4-for-7 from three-point range. However, starting from the second quarter, the Dreamers strengthened their defense. Coupled with import player Aric Holman scoring 11 points in the quarter and Chang Tsung-hsien adding 7 points, the Dreamers rallied to take a 55-41 lead by halftime.
In the second half, the Mars completely lost their shooting touch, making only 5 of 19 three-pointers and 4 of 16 two-pointers as a team. Scoring a mere combined 25 points in the 3rd and 4th quarters, they allowed the Dreamers to widen the point gap and easily take the victory.
Chang Tsung-hsien, who started and played only 20 minutes, efficiently scored 9 points and recorded 3 steals. In a post-game interview with the broadcasting network, he stated, 'I didn't specifically care about my individual performance. I just wanted to play team basketball and execute the tasks the coach assigned before the game.'
Regarding the team trailing by 3 points in the first quarter, Chang Tsung-hsien admitted that perhaps it was because the opponent used only a single import. 'It made our team's mentality a bit relaxed. However, from the second quarter onward, we adjusted quickly, faced the opponent with a playoff mindset, and the score was quickly reversed.'
