Jack Animam unstoppable in Taiwan

By Leobert Julian A. de la Peña

 

Jack Animam cannot be stopped.

Following two lopsided victories in the University Basketball Association in Taiwan, Jack Animam led Shih Hsin University to another convincing victory over National Taiwan University, 99-57, to notch their third-straight win and keep their record unblemished.

Already marked as a low-post threat by all the teams in the league, Animam continued her mastery underneath and was able to chip in 13 markers, eight rebounds, two steals, and one block despite receiving tons of double teams throughout the game.

The Gilas Pilipinas women’s superstar handled the tremendous defensive pressure and still found a way to be productive despite picking up two early quick fouls at the 7:56 minute of the opening frame.

Without Animam, Shih Hsin struggled a bit offensively in the first quarter but later on picked up the pace and tempo as Chen Yuti came alive and started to fire bombs from downtown.

Yuti finished the ball game with 19 points on 4-out-of-9 shooting from the three-point land while also intercepting the ball twice.

After an impressive three-game winning-streak, Animam and Shih Shin will take a 24-day break and will resume play on December 11 against National Taipei University.
