South Korea's women captured the William Jones Cup title by edging Taiwan A 64-63 in the dying seconds, while Japan secured second place, devastating Thailand 90-34 in final-day results from New Taipei City's Sinjhuang Gymnasium yesterday. Forward Kim Dan-Bi (176-F-91) was brilliant in directing the offense and in the key play of the game she dribbled past Taiwan players under the post for a lay-up with four seconds left for the win. Kim led her team with 19 points, while teammate Yoon Mi-Ji (171-G-88) contributed 17. South Korea ended with four wins and one loss in the tournament, their only blemish a 63-55 defeat to the US side on Friday. Taiwan A were behind for most of the game, but chased South Korea all the way and leveled at 60-60 down the stretch, but they missed key baskets in the final minute. With the loss, Taiwan A claimed fourth place, with their 3-2 record matching the US in third. Japanese starting center Akaho Sakura had a stellar double-double performance, with a game-high 17 points to go with 11 rebounds. Team Japan's free-wheeling offense and fast pace were too much for Thailand to handle. They netted 17 points in the first quarter, then exploded for 30 in the second quarter to gallop away with a 47-13 lead at halftime. In the second half, the Japan cagers cruised, piling on another 43 markers for a 56-point victory. Three Japan players came off the bench to combine for 40 points - Nemoto Haruno and Yunika Nakamura (177-PF-95) sinking 15 each and Ikeya Yuki netting 10. Thailand starting forward Surin Nutthamon accounted for nearly one-third of her squad's output, scoring 10 points. Another exciting contest was between US-Overtake and Taiwan B, with both sides fighting tooth and nail, exchanging the lead several times and going into overtime. US-Overtake went in front 39-34 at halftime, but in a see-saw battle, Taiwan B fought back to post 23 points to 15 for the US in the fourth quarter, locking the scores at 71 at the end of regulation. The hosts could not sustain their momentum, as the US netted 13 in overtime, while Taiwan B managed 11, giving the visitors an 86-84 win. US player Alysha Harvin (178-G-88, college: Florida St.) came off the bench to score 23 points, while Harris Marquisha grabbed a game-high 22 rebounds. Courtesy of: taipeitimes.com

Japan and South Korea enjoyed big wins in second-day William Jones Cup action, with Japan's female cagers routing a toothless US side 92-53, while South Korea thrashed Thailand 60-41 at the Sinjhuang Gymnasium in New Taipei City yesterday. In the domestic derby last night, the nation's senior side schooled the junior side, with Taiwan A defeating Taiwan B 70-51. The US' Overtake Team tasted their own bitter medicine, coming out on the losing end of a lopsided scoreline when they were routed by a well-organized, attacking Japanese side. The US had come in looking as if they would have the advantage after blowing away Thailand 93-44 the day before, whereas Japan just scraped by Taiwan A by 73-68 in their opening-day game. Japan put on an impressive display with teamwork and solid defense, and spread out their scoring with contributions from key players. Starting guard Saki Hayashi (171-G-95) led with 14 points, followed by 11 for Evelyn Mawuli (180-C/F-95), the Japanese power forward born in Toyohashi City of Aichi Prefecture to parents from Ghana, while three other teammates posted 10 points each. Shooting accuracy deserted the US cagers, as they only shot 30 percent through the game, while Japan shot 64.6 percent and netted nine three-pointers, while the US team did not sink any threes. South Korea's Incheon Shinhan Bank S-Birds cruised past Thailand, going in front 36-22 at halftime, before pulling of a 19-point victory. Taiwan A forward Hsi-hua Liu had an outstanding evening in leading her side in the domestic derby to the win over Taiwan B, who are the junior squad preparing for the Summer Universiade hosted by Taipei next year. Starters Lin Hsien-Fang (168-G-91) and Peng Shih-ching also put in fine displays, chipping in nine and eight points respectively for Taiwan A. Center Wang Wei-Lin (180-F-93) was the best player for Taiwan B, pocketing nine points and grabbing a game-high 11 rebounds in a losing effort. Taiwan B started the better side by going ahead 15 to 14 at the end of the first quarter, but Team A rallied for 21 points to surge in front 35-23 at halftime. Team A scored another 35 points in the second half, compared with 28 for Team B, for the victory. Courtesy of: taipeitimes.com
