MANILA, Philippines — The Great Wall falls down.

Chinese Taipei shot the lights out to oust favored China, 96-78, in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship quarterfinals on Friday night, August 9 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

After falling to a hot start by their opponents, Chinese Taipei quickly recovered and pounded the defending champions to make the semifinals and kick the China out of the top 4 for the first time in recent memory.

Quincy Davis led the victors with 26 points and 10 rebounds while Tsai Wen-Cheng shone bright with 21 markers and 7 boards.

Lin Chih-Chieh bounced back from a sour outing against Qatar by delivering 17 points and 7 assists off the bench even as Tien Lei and Hung Chih-Shan added 13 and 11 markers, respectively.

Yi Jianlian paced China with 22 points and 10 rebounds but even hot shooting from Wang Shipeng (17 points) wasn’t enough to prevent the team’s downfall. – Rappler.com
