The Chinese Taipei men's basketball team gave the Philippine team the first defeat in the 2025 Asian Cup qualifying tournament at home on the 20th, and determined to advance to 6 and 4 wild cards in the third place in the group.

The Chinese Taipei men's basketball team rewarded the Philippines with its first defeat, and Philippine head coach Korn did not hesitate to praise it

Chinese Taipei repelled the strong rival Philippines 91-84, and Philippine head coach said in an interview after the game that he thought Chinese Taipei's performance was very good, because the Philippines played several offensive attacks to catch up with the score and even lead, but Chinese Taipei was not knocked down because of this.

Last night's Taiwan-Philippines battle, Chinese Taipei led by up to 13 points in the first half, but the Philippines was always able to narrow the gap, although there was still a 10-point lead after the third quarter, but in the final quarter, the Philippine naturalized Brownlee scored frequently, so that the score continued to bite, until Lu Junxiang hit an important three-pointer in the last 47 seconds, and Gao Baikai grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked, so that Chinese Taipei locked the win.

"They stayed calm, they hit key shots all the time, a very good win, and they deserved it." Korn said.
