After competing for 11 days at the FIBA Asia Championships,
-
Taiwan’s men's basketball team returned to a warm welcome at the airport.
-
But team captain Lin Chih-chieh said he was disappointed the team fell short in the semifinals
-
after earning one of its most impressive wins ever against China.
-
It has been a long time for a scene such as this to play out at Taoyuan International Airport.
-
Despite failing to earn a spot at next year’s Basketball World Cup,
-
fans continued to show their enthusiasm for the team,
-
including new immigrant to Taiwan, Quincy Davis III.
-
It’s been very amazing to see all the people come out and support us.
-
I hope we did a good job, and for all the little kids who are growing up and watching us play, I hope we inspired them.
-
And it’s very good to see all our fans in support and represent Taiwan.
-
However, team captain Lin Chih-chieh continued to express his disappointment after losing in the semifinals.
-
Since yesterday, I haven’t been happy. It may take awhile for my mood to improve.
-
The team battled hard in every game of the tournament.
-
It was met with screaming cheers from fans, which boosted the spirits of the team members.
-
Support was also given to the head coach.
-
I felt like crying in each game because we seemed to always need to mount a comeback.
-
We were behind by 10 points to Jordan, and then 13 points to the Philippines,
-
and of course, we all know that we fell behind 17 points to China.
-
So every game was quite touching.
-
Despite the loss, Taiwan’s men's basketball team still has a number of tournaments on the horizon to look forward to, such as the East Asian Games and the Asian Games.
-
After regrouping following this painful loss, the team hopes to make another bid for international glory.
