Rain or Shine’s guard, Gian Mamuyac, faced off against the United Arab Emirates in a thrilling match at the William Jones Cup in Taipei. Despite their best efforts, Rain or Shine ultimately fell short, losing by a close margin of 73-71.
In the final minute of the game, Rain or Shine had multiple opportunities to secure the go-ahead basket and potentially secure their first win in the tournament. Unfortunately, Santi Santillan’s layup attempt was blocked, and the team couldn’t secure the rebound when Qais Omar Alshabebi missed two free throws. A split pair of free throws by Hamid Abdullateef Albreiki and a blocked three-point shot by Gian Mamuyac sealed Rain or Shine’s winless fate in the tournament.
Coach Yeng Guiao and his team had high hopes for securing a victory in this game, especially considering their previous losses to Chinese-Taipei A and Chinese-Taipei B. Despite the setback, players like Demusis, Nick Evans, and Anton Asistio showcased their skills on the court, contributing points, rebounds, and steals to the team’s efforts.
Looking ahead, Rain or Shine will continue their campaign in the tournament, facing Qatar in their next game. With determination and a renewed focus, the team hopes to turn their luck around and secure their first victory.
