Teams Preview
South Korea Preview
Korea's previous outing was a 106–40 victory over Malaysia on September 18. Korea recovered from a slow start after missing their first nine field-goal attempts and then completely took control with a 16–2 run to close the first quarter. They extended the lead to 59–22 at halftime and continued to dominate after the break.
Lee So-hee led Korea with 21 points and four steals, while Choi I-saem added 19 points and seven rebounds. Six Korean players finished in double figures, highlighting the team's depth and balanced scoring. Korea also produced seven steals in the first quarter alone through their full-court pressure.
Korea should look to apply full-court pressure and push the pace, using their defensive intensity to create turnovers and easy transition baskets before Chinese Taipei can establish their half-court defense.
Offensively, Korea should continue moving the ball quickly and use their guards to attack gaps, while their forwards can create additional opportunities through screens and offensive rebounds.
Defensively, Korea need to pressure Chinese Taipei's ball handlers without allowing them to break the first line of defense and generate open three-point looks. Controlling the defensive glass and turning stops into transition opportunities should be central to Korea's approach.
Korea on average score 104 points per game they score 43% from the field and 43% from the arc. Korea grab 52 rebounds per game .
Chinese Taipei Preview
Chinese Taipei's previous outing was a 76–67 victory over Mongolia on September 18. Chinese Taipei trailed 41–46 at halftime, but produced a strong second-half response, outscoring Mongolia 35–21 after the break to complete the nine-point victory. The result gives Chinese Taipei a 1–0 record in Group C heading into the matchup with Korea.
Chinese Taipei should focus on breaking Korea's full-court pressure with quick passing and controlled ball movement, avoiding risky passes that could lead to live-ball turnovers and transition scores. Offensively, they should use pick-and-rolls and perimeter spacing to pull Korea's defense away from the paint, while attacking inside whenever Korea's guards overplay the passing lanes.
Defensively, Chinese Taipei need to stay compact, communicate through screens and prevent Korea from generating easy transition baskets. Their ability to control the tempo and reduce Korea's defensive pressure will be particularly important.
Chinese Taipei on average score 76 points per game they score 39% from the field and 33% from the arc. Chinese Taipei grab 42 rebounds per game .
