“As soon as the second half started, I gathered my composure, and at the end we widened the lead (to 32 points),” he said of the game.
If SK beats the Philippine Meralco Bolts in the final match of Group B, it will advance to the semifinals as first place in the group.

Meanwhile, regarding New Taipei's Wang Bo-zhi (5 points, 3 rebounds), who walked the court with his large physique, he said, "I saw him during the last away game, and he was very popular.
He has good basketball sense, including shooting touch, and seems to run better than he looks.
After commenting, "He's a big wrestler, but he's playing basketball.
Leon Williams was also pushed out of the physical fight." He expressed his surprise.
Meanwhile, while New Taipei's NBA player Jeremy Lin did not appear in the game today due to a plantar fascia injury, his younger brother Joseph Lin recorded 10 points and 7 assists.
Lin expressed his thoughts on the game, saying, "We were underprepared defensively in the second half.
SK's switch defense was impressive."
New Taipei coach Ryan Marchand also said, "We played a fierce game in the first half, but I think we lost focus in the second half.
As I heard, (SK) seems to be a team that is really good at defense.
I was impressed by the way they didn't try to get pushed back even in physical battles. " "He commented overall.
New Taipei has already confirmed its advancement to the semifinals in Group B of the EASL Group Stage with 4 wins and 2 losses.
