(Central News Agency reporter Chen Jung-chen, Taipei, 19th) National Chengchi University (NCCU) starting player Sung Hsin-hao scored 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists today in the UBA Men's Division I championship game, leading his team to a 6-peat. He laughed and said the pressure was especially high this year, and he finally confirmed that he will step towards his goal of playing overseas.
Viewed as an immediate impact player since his freshman year, and having won the Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP) last season, Sung Hsin-hao remained the team's most consistent player in his senior season this year. Today, he produced an all-around stat line of 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in the Division I championship game, leading his team to easily defeat National Taiwan Sport University 92-50, completing a 6-peat and drawing a perfect end to his collegiate career.
During a media interview after the game, Sung Hsin-hao expressed that the pressure was extraordinarily high this year and the journey was not easy, especially stumbling from the preliminary rounds, which heavily tested the power of teamwork. He even mentioned that he hadn't slept well the past few days, with game scenes constantly flashing in his mind, but he turned the pressure and external criticism into motivation: "I think these all helped us improve."
Drawing attention from scouts every time he played this season, Sung Hsin-hao revealed that he treats it with a normal mindset. He finally confirmed that he will move towards his goal of playing abroad, temporarily not considering Taiwan's professional basketball leagues. He just hasn't decided where to play yet, but will likely go to South Korea, Japan, and China for tryouts first. As for the tryout schedules, they will be arranged by his coach, though he hopes to take a short breather after the championship game.
Sung Hsin-hao added that he will then discuss with his family which place is more suitable for him. "We'll see which one I fancy more; I hope to play outside for as long as possible."
