(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jung-chen Taoyuan 13th) The Taiwan Professional Basketball League (TPBL) Taiwan Beer Leopards today defeated the New Taipei Kings 114-92, thanks to foreign player Miller's impressive 29 points and point guard Kao Chin-wei's 8 assists, setting a new league playoff single-game scoring record.
The Leopards, who entered the playoffs as the number one seed in the TPBL regular season, unexpectedly lost their first game to the defending champions, the Kings. Fortunately, they immediately launched a counterattack in today's home game. Not only did the team sink 18 three-pointers with a shooting percentage close to 50%, but they also frequently forced turnovers from their opponents and converted them into points, which was key to the Leopards securing an early victory. They won by more than 20 points, bouncing back in the series.
In the first quarter of this game, the entire Leopards team focused on defense, complemented by foreign player Lasannah Kromah's double-digit scoring, helping the team maintain its lead. Subsequently, Malcolm Miller and Chris McCullough took turns scoring, and point guard Kao Chin-wei also consistently made three-pointers, allowing the Leopards to break the league's playoff single-game scoring record (original record 113 points).
Miller exploded for a game-high 29 points, notably making all 6 of his three-point attempts. He stated in a post-game media interview that the key was focusing on defense, with everyone seriously competing defensively from the start of the game, which in turn made their offense smoother. Kao Chin-wei, who contributed 14 points and 8 assists, mentioned that he got ideas from watching many videos, but the key was still to maintain ball movement and play good defense.
Henrik Rodl, who was named Coach of the Year, laughed and said that although this was a special moment in his career, it was currently the playoffs, so it was difficult to celebrate. He praised the players for showing a different attitude in today's game and emphasized that they must play even more focused in away games to have a chance of winning the series.
