Howard, who just joined the Taoyuan Yunbao team in the T1 League of Taiwan, will make his T1 League debut on the 19th. Although the game has not started yet, Master Huo is obviously not idle...
Flippers with fans, taking photos with the stewardess, participating in team training, and choosing Chinese translations... During this process, he repeatedly showed his Lotte-style personality traits.
From the current point of view, Master Huo is enjoying his life on Baodao. And his arrival undoubtedly inspired the enthusiasm of the fans even more. It is reported that the Taoyuan Cloud Leopards have accumulated nearly 60,000 tickets in the first four games of this season, and all of them have been sold out within 5 minutes.
It seems that the arena is still too small... This is the influence of the old Warcraft , and it has created a trend of snatching tickets.
"After Warcraft came to Taiwan, the visibility of Taiwan basketball and T1 leagues has indeed improved. Now even James knows T1 . I believe that more NBA players are willing to come to Taiwan to play in the future." said the general manager of the Taichung Suns team,
T1.
So, this Suns team has contacted 2 old acquaintances: Thomas Jr. and Stephenson . In addition, the head coach of the Taiwan Steel Falcons, who is also in the T1 league, confirmed to the media that they are working hard to sign Anthony . If you can all come, it's really crazy. They are all very popular stars, so you don't have to worry about selling tickets...
Because it has not become a reality, I won't talk in detail. I take this opportunity to talk to my brothers about the Taiwan Provincial League. Of course, it's not just cheerleading teams:
When it comes to the Taiwan Provincial League, the first thing you can think of is SBL (Super Basketball League), which was established in 2003 and consists of Yulong, Sina , China Guangfa, Daxin, Jiutai, Beer , Taiwan Bank and other teams.
Many outstanding athletes who came out of here later played for CBA, the golden generation of Baodao basketball represented by players such as Lin Zhijie, Zeng Wending .
In recent years, the CBA is above the semi-professional SBL, both at the league level, player ability and salary level. Therefore, high-level players and many excellent Taiwanese athletes also choose to play in the CBA.
Among them, it is represented by Liu Zheng , Chen Yingjun , and Lin Tingqian . The inability to retain excellent provincial players is undoubtedly a big blow to SBL, so it has caused further decline in attention.
Especially in the past three years, there have been problems in operation. Last season, SBL had only 5 teams left, including Taiwan Beer, Yulon, Taiwan Bank, Jiutai, Puyuan... In May this year, Kaohsiung Jiutai Technology Team announced its disbandment, which means that in the new season, SBL has a high probability of only 4 teams left, which can be said to be "staying alive".
The oldest and most well-known and official league is heading for decline, while the new league has emerged: P. LEAGUE+ and T1.
P. LEAGUE+ is led by black Chen Jianzhou, composed of Taipei Fubon Warriors, New Taipei Kings, Taoyuan Navigation Ape, Hsinchu Street Siege Lion, Formosha Tai New Dreamer and Kaohsiung Steelman, these 6 teams are composed of.
The championship of last season was the Fubon Warriors, where Lin Zhijie, Zeng Wending and Jeuro Lin 's younger brother Lin Shuwei (who went to the New Taipei Kings in the new season). Each team played a total of 40 games in the 22-23 season, including 20 home games and 20 away games.
P. LEAGUE+ Although it is a nominal professional league, what they are high is not the competition level, but the packaging and marketing of the event. I have a lot of understanding...
peripheral product development and artist halo to create online topics... Of course, the most representative one is the cheerleaders. Therefore, P. LEAGUE+ has become the most well-known and most popular league in Taiwan Province.
Of course, this refers to last season...
P. LEAGUE+, the powerful challenger is T1.
P League and T1 are two different things, they are not connected to each other, but there must be competition for market share . After all, the cake is so big...
T1 was established in May last year. The 22-23 season consists of 6 teams: Taiwan Beer Yingxiong, New Taipei CITIC Special Attack, Taoyuan Yongfeng Cloud Leopard, Taichung Suns, Tainan Taigang Falcons and Kaohsiung Family Sea God.
In other words, the three major basketball leagues in Taiwan are in parallel, with a total of 16 teams.
Reasonablely, the minimum monthly salary of T1's foreign players is US$5,000, and the upper limit is US$20,000 per month. However, Howard is a special task, with a monthly salary of more than US$200,000. He only requires living in a comfortable apartment. Master Huo solves the problem of eating himself...
If we use the rules of CBA, it is obvious that the 20 teams in the league must do their jobs according to the foreign players' salary cap, and we cannot do special things.
But the T1 team is obviously another way of thinking: let's make money together.
Although Howard only went to Taoyuan Cloud Leopards, the other 5 teams can also increase their attention. Master Huo can still sell tickets when playing away games...
Especially the competition background of the three major leagues. T1, as the latest league, must work hard in this regard.
can especially show the operational ideas of the provincial league, which are very different from the CBA. Many teams in
CBA do not need to consider revenue issues at all, they are not short of money... Another point is that CBA has no lifting mechanism, nor does it have a competitive environment like the Taiwan Provincial League.
