Lin Wei-kai selected for the Jones Cup for the first time, realising a boyhood dream of watching the games
Taiwanese guard Lin Wei-kai grew up watching the Jones Cup, and now, donning the national team jersey for the first time, it is welcome news that marks the fulfilment of a personal dream.
- Taiwan's White team came from behind to beat Jordan 66-64, taking their second consecutive win.
- Lin Wei-kai hit a crucial game-tying three-pointer in the third quarter, finishing with 8 points and 2 steals.
- With Lin Hsien-wei injured, the coach specifically asked him before the game to take on the scoring load, and teammates Kao Kuo-hao and Pai Yao-cheng also constantly cheered him on.
- He shared an old photo from his elementary school days of attending a game to watch Lin Chih-chieh and Chen Ying-chun play in the Jones Cup, saying plainly that playing in the Jones Cup was his first basketball dream.
Outlook: The White team's momentum is running high, and Lin Wei-kai is expected to carry his scoring touch into the following games and shoulder the team's offensive responsibilities.
