In the William Jones Cup International Basketball Invitational, the Taiwan Blue team secured an impressive 90-56 victory over the Australian team at the Xinzhuang Gymnasium, marking a strong start. Tomorrow, they will face a formidable Philippines team in hopes of achieving back-to-back wins. The team achieved a shooting percentage of 41.7%, with all players contributing to the score.

Italian head coach Tucci mentioned that the players are now very familiar with his coaching system, which was evident in their excellent defensive strategy that forced Australia into 27 turnovers. He emphasized that while today's victory is significant, it is only one win, and the team must continue to work hard. Looking ahead to the Philippines match, Tucci stressed the importance of focusing on their own strategies and fostering team unity.
