Ryukyu can press inside through Cooley while Eastern seek their own scoring from the line and the perimeter. The shape of that game depends on whether Ryukyu finish defensive possessions after building a lead. Tainan and Alvark bring several different scoring routes to their meeting. Their offensive response after an early run matters more than a single hot shooting spell.
Vining drew free throws and created for teammates against EASL opposition, while Leung supplied a separate three-point outlet. Eastern kept their last continental game close through the second half. Ryukyu's strong outside shooting at Taoyuan gave them a large score, but their latest opponent also reached the rim and scored 96. With no current active lists confirmed, I’m siding with Hong Kong Eastern to keep answering Ryukyu's runs.
Balvin gives Tainan second chances, and Ku, Kao and the wings have shown ways to finish after pressure. Alvark can score through Johnson's drives, Rossiter's passing, inside makes and free throws, as well as outside shots. Balvin, Ku, Kao, Johnson and Rossiter all played in their teams' latest games; Hiraiwa had returned for Alvark, while Olbrich remained on the injured list. I’m siding with a high-scoring Tainan–Alvark game built from those different routes.
