Over 24 hours after getting rattled by an opening day loss to Canada, Gilas Pilipinas regained its bearings and bounced back with a convincing 88-72 win over Chinese Taipei A or Taiwan Blue during the 2017 William Jones Cup on Sunday, July 16 in Taipei, Taiwan.

Over 24 hours after getting rattled by an opening day loss to Canada, Gilas Pilipinas regained its bearings and bounced back with a convincing 88-72 win over Chinese Taipei A or Taiwan Blue during the 2017 William Jones Cup on Sunday, July 16 in Taipei, Taiwan. The Philippines flipped the script with an all-new boost in energy and aggression to set the tone from the get-go. That paved the way for 3-point shots to finally fall and for Taiwan's zone defense to lose its effectiveness. Matthew Wright (193-G-91, college: St.Bonaventure) found his stroke once again, putting up 17 points off the bench on 4 triples. Starting guard Kiefer Isaac Ravena (181-G/F-93), whose aggressive and decisive playmaking propelled Gilas from the start, finished with 15 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists. Big man Christian Standhardinger (206-F-89, college: Hawaii) was a force, too, inside the paint with 17 markers and 15 boards. The Filipinos, clearly already settled down in the tournament, quickly built 10-point leads early on and weathered the Taiwanese's 3-point shooting. Chinese Taipei A threatened many times in the second half but the Philippines managed to squash rallies with timely baskets, ultimately leading by as many as 17 points late in the contest. Gilas will next face Chinese Taipei B on Monday, July 17. The status of Ray Parks for the game is up in the air after he appeared to have hurt his ankle early in the fourth quarter.

A small group of onlookers were treated to the first glimpses of Melbourne United's new stars this afternoon with several of the players hitting the court for a closed session against the Chinese Taipei National Team at MSAC. Chinese Taipei are visiting Australia as part of their build up to the FIBA Asia Cup in which they also sit in Group D, and will face off against the Australian Boomers on November 24. They arrive off the back of a Championship win in the Asian Games, defeating China, South Korea and Japan. Craig Moller (206-F-94, agency: MKP Management), David Barlow (205-F-83, college: Metro St.), Kyle Adnam (186-G-93), Daniel Dillon (193-G-86, college: Arizona) and development players Tohi Smith-Milner (206-F/C-95, college: Polk State CC) and Samuel Short (195-G-98) all took to the court with a group of booster players currently playing in the SEABL and Big V competitions. Whilst the game was played more as a pick-up style scrimmage, United took the opportunity to test the rotations of their players and give all contracted players currently in Melbourne a good opportunity for a run. 'We actually got a chance to play Craig and Sam together who've been playing together in Ballarat' Melbourne United Assistant Coach Simon Mitchell said after the game. 'It's funny, when we played them individually they were good but when they played together they actually really shone'. 'Craig was probably the stand out player for us from a defence aspect, just his length and the way he disrupted the ball was fantastic'. As well as giving the young guys a run, the coaches were also able to assess the fitness of returning veteran Dave Barlow and newly signed Daniel Dillon. 'I don't know exactly what the numbers are but I think Dave slipped in with a lazy six three's. It always helps when the team hasn't scouted us so your 6'9 guys are dropping bombs' Mitchell said. 'Dave's in the process of just getting himself in game shape so these games are great for him and he utilised his time really well today. He was a good presence on the boards, and boxing out, and offensively he really shone'. Mitchell also shared 'Dan Dillon has also been fantastic since he came back from Japan. His ability to create plays in a small amount of space has been fantastic'. 'We know Dan really well already as he comes back and works with us every off-season but we're still learning lots about him and how he operates with our guys. On the small amount we've seen of him so far he's going to be really great for us'. As well as being a great opportunity for the United players to get in a test run ahead of their upcoming game against China on July 16, several Big V and SEABL also stepped up on the court this afternoon. 'Every Wednesday we have an open gym and all the best players from SEABL and Big V come down and work out with our players. We normally get two courts going and they're highly competitive games so we just picked a few guys out of that and they did a terrific job' Mitchell said. Whilst no live stats were recorded from the game, Melbourne United came away with a solid win 111 to Chinese Taipei's 74. Barlow top scored with 22 points, Adnam had 16 and Moller had 12.
