The first edition of Asian Professional Basketball (APB), which is similiar to the Asian Clubs Championship staged by FIBA Asia, will be played in Taiwan from August 11-19 with five teams participating in the inaugural event.

Five participants will be Niigata Albirex from Japan's BJ League, LG Sakers from Korea's KBL, Sydney Kings from Australia's NBL, San Miguel Beermen from Philippines' PBA and the home team Taiwan, which sends its national team instead of a club team.

Sydney Kings is replaced by Perth Wildcats from AUS NBL. Perth played in Taiwan's Jones Cup in 2004 and finished 3rd.

[Saskibaloia]

My prediction is for the Perth Wildcats to win that is IF they send in their full strength team and not their development squad.

APB Day 3 - Taiwan NT KOs San Miguel, 105-76 - Aug. 13, 2006 - by Chris Wang
Taiwan NT turned in its best performance in the APB tournament Sunday night, knocking out San Miguel 105-76 in a game that was meaningful for 10 minutes.

Inspired by five 3-pointers from Tien Lei and Hsin An Chen (196-G/F-80), Taiwan NT opened the game with a 18-1 run over the Beermen, who couldn't find the basket and seemed uninterested all game long. The game was never close as the host led by as many as 37 points.

At one point San Miguel head coach Chot Reyes told his players they were embarrassing themsleves. But his words obviously neither pick up the players' spirit nor stop the last 30 minutes of the game from turning into garbage times.

All 11 players on Taiwan NT scored while five hit double figures. Hsin An Chen (196-G/F-80) led with 24 points, followed by Tien Lei's 16 and Lin Chi-jay's 14. Lee Chi-yi and Chou Shih-yuan had 13 points each.

Center Tsun Wen-din, who returned to Taiwan Sunday morning from Pete Newell Big Man Camp in Las Vegas, didn't play until the third quarter and had 5 points and 3 boards in 10 minutes.

In the ohter game, Perth Wildcats defeated LG Sakers 82-68 to remain undefeated at 2-0. LG is now 2-1 and tied with Taiwan NT.

Standings:
Perth Wildcats 2-0
Taiwan NT 2-1
LG Sakers 2-1
San Miguel 0-2
Niigata Albirex 0-2
