Chinese Taipei White progressed through the early stages of the 45th William Jones Cup with victories against Malaysia (82-73) and Jordan (66-64). Following these wins, the team advanced to the semifinals after defeating Malaysia again with a score of 102-92. In that matchup, Kuo Ho-hao scored a tournament-high 30 points, including nine three-pointers, while Lin Hsien-wei contributed 20 points and 8 assists.

Head coach Chen Tzu-wei noted that a strategic shift toward empowering the full roster helped alleviate pressure on individual players and improved offensive output. 

In the third-place playoff, Chinese Taipei White was defeated by Chinese Taipei Blue. The White team struggled with perimeter shooting during the contest, converting only 3 of 26 three-point attempts. Despite the loss, Taiwanese-American guard Che Yu-cheng made his debut for the team, contributing 5 points and 1 rebound in 12 minutes of play shortly after arriving in Taiwan from a training trip in Australia. Coach Chen praised Che’s professional attitude and maturity despite limited recovery time.
