Key Moments That Shaped the Game

The first major turning point came in the opening three minutes. National Formasa’s full-court pressure forced three consecutive Lee Ming turnovers, translating into easy layups and an early 10-0 advantage. That burst set the emotional tone and forced Lee Ming to play from behind for the rest of the evening.

Lee Ming showed brief signs of life in the second quarter. A 7-0 run, capped by a corner three from guard Wu Po-Han, cut the deficit to 28-20 and gave the visiting bench some energy. But National Formasa responded immediately with a 9-0 run of their own, highlighted by a steal-and-score from Chen Wei-Lun and a put-back dunk from Huang Kuan-Ting. The momentum swing effectively ended Lee Ming’s comeback hopes before halftime.

The decisive stretch arrived early in the third quarter. NFU scored 14 of the first 16 points after the break, with Lin Chih-Hao controlling the paint on both ends. His offensive rebound and kick-out to Chen for a three-pointer made it 57-27 and prompted another Lee Ming timeout. From there, National Formasa coasted, rotating their lineup and giving valuable minutes to their reserves.

Tactical Story: Defense and Depth Decide It

National Formasa University’s game plan was clear from the opening tip: pressure the ball, deny easy entry passes, and sprint into transition at every opportunity. Their full-court press disrupted Lee Ming’s half-court sets, and their half-court zone trapped the wings effectively, forcing difficult shots late in the shot clock. NFU recorded 12 steals as a team and scored 24 points off turnovers.

On the glass, National Formasa were equally dominant. They out-rebounded Lee Ming 48-31, including 15 offensive rebounds that led to 18 second-chance points. Lin Chih-Hao anchored the interior with a double-double, while Huang Kuan-Ting and forward Chang Yu-Hsuan combined for 17 rebounds. That physical advantage allowed NFU to control the pace and limit Lee Ming’s second-chance opportunities.

Lee Ming Institute of Technology struggled to find offensive consistency. They shot just 31% from the field and 22% from beyond the arc. Their half-court offense often stalled against NFU’s length, and when they did beat the pressure, they rushed finishes at the rim. Wu Po-Han was the lone bright spot with 14 points, but he received limited support from the rest of the starting lineup.
