[Epoch Times, March 14, 2022](The Epoch Times reporter Lin Qianyu, Taiwan Hsinchu, Taiwan) The 110 school year HBL High School Basketball League entered the championship game on the 13th. The men’s group Guangfu High School and Nanshan High School fought fiercely. The last 1.93 seconds before the end of the game, Chen Jiangshuang scored a crucial two-pointer, allowing Guangfu to win the gold cup 59-57, setting the first HBL championship in the school’s history and the best record in the history of the Hsinchu City team in the HBL league. Mayor Lin Zhijian personally went to the Taipei Arena to cheer for the recovery of the young players. After winning the championship, he was excited to hug the coaches and players to celebrate.
Guangfu High School took the lead in defeating Taishan High School, which was seeking to defend the title, 78-63 in the semi-finals on the 12th, and grabbed the tickets to the championship and runner-up battles. In the championship game on the 13th, Guangfu did not score as smoothly in the first quarter as it did against Taishan yesterday, but the solid defense still held Nanshan tightly. In the second game, they trailed by 31 to 33 by two points, and the third game 47 to 48. Biting both sides, there were mistakes and points for each other. When the fourth game entered the countdown of 30 seconds, Nanshan tied the score, and then was pulled away by Guangfu. Finally, the game ended after Chen Jiangshuang scored two points. Chen Jiangshuang, the “strongest high school student” in Guangfu, scored 21 points, and Zhang Junsheng scored 19 points. Together, the two scored 40 points, and they performed very well.
“Every one is playing with their lives, and there is no miracle as long as accumulation.” Lin Zhijian said, from non-finalists to semi-finalists to champions, this is a reminder to him every time an athlete from Hsinchu City goes out to play, any sports event. This is all the case. Behind every honor in the arena is a very difficult training. He promised to invite the players to eat steak, and he would also discuss the city’s celebration of the liberation.
“The glory belongs to Hsinchu, and we can’t do it alone.” Coach Chen Dingjie emphasized after the game that today’s victory not only showed the players’ hard work, but also fully felt the power from Hsinchu’s hometown.
“Seeing that the team can go all the way to the top, as the best sixth man, the Guangfu cheerleading team is well-deserved.” Xie Wenhai, the leader of the Cheering Team of Guangfu High School, said that he is really grateful to the Hsinchu City Government, school team, parents and every citizen who have been supporting the Guangfu Blue Ape along the way.
Chen Jiangshuang said excitedly that he only won the third place in the semi-finals last year, and he felt very regretful. This year, everyone has strengthened the parts that were not done well last time and returned strongly.
Zhang Junsheng said that every time before the game, the coach will tell everyone: enjoy the game, play happily, grasp what you can grasp, and the most important thing is to “play a game that you won’t regret.”
Hsinchu City has made great achievements in basketball projects in recent years. In 107 (2018), Guangfu High School represented Hsinchu City for the first time in HBL and won the first place. Won the championship in the HBL Group B women’s basketball event and completed the defense.
