In the Jones Cup women's division, Taiwan's White and Blue teams were both defeated by over 50 points in consecutive games by Japan, whose team was primarily made up of university students. The coach of the White team, and former Taiwanese basketball legend Chien Wei-chuan, acknowledged the clear gap in rhythm, physical attributes, and strength between Taiwanese players and the Japanese team. Chien Wei-chuan also mentioned that the discrepancies in physicality and playing style may be related to the standards set by referees in domestic games. The two losses highlighted the difference between Taiwan and Japan in women's basketball, prompting Chien Wei-chuan to call it a 'grim situation in New Taipei City'.
