A recent example being the just-concluded Asia Games held in South Korea, during which Taiwanese female athletes won eight out of the 10 gold medals the national squad clinched in total. It goes the same with basketball, one of the most popular and most-played sports in the island country. At the Asian Games, Taiwan's women's basketball team nearly grabbed a bronze before it lost to Japan in the semifinals. The No. 4 finish is a lot better than the men's team, which was kicked out of the event after suffering consecutive losses to Kazakhstan and China. Despite its global competitiveness, however, women's basketball in Taiwan, like many other sports played by female athletes, has enjoyed very little media spotlight. There is an existing semi-professional Women's Super Basketball League (WSBL) that has played for nine seasons now. But with no live-broadcasts, the WSBL has drawn very little attention. The poor environment for female hoop players causes many young Taiwanese players to worry about their future. (以上简介台湾女篮(女性运动员)环境、生态) Still, one young player has decided to make a difference for herself and for Taiwan's women's basketball. Instead of staying in her comfort zone, she decided to challenge herself in the much more competitive professional hoop league on the other side of the Taiwan Strait. (一位年轻的选手为他自己和台湾的女篮做了不同的决定，他离开舒适圈，决定挑战海峡 对岸更有竞争性的联盟) Her name is Pan Tzu-yin (潘姿吟), a 22-year-old point guard, who is able to walk on a road where very few Taiwanese have gone before. “In Taiwan, you pretty much see the same group of players playing against each other all the time,” Pan told The China Post during a recent phone interview. “I choose to take on the challenge in China so that I can meet taller, strong and faster players. I believe these experience will help me become a better player,” she noted. (在台湾，各个比赛总是遇到同样的一群对手。选择去中国挑战，可以遇到更高、更强、 更快的对手，会让我变成一名更强的球员。) Speaking to The China Post, the 170-centimeter-tall point guard admitted that it is beyond her wildest dreams to be able to join a WCBA team. Before Pan, only a handful of local female hoop players had stepped up for the challenge of the Women's Chinese Basketball Association (WCBA) in China. The most famous being Wei-Juan “Rosa” Chien (钱薇娟), arguably one of the few recognizable female athletes in Taiwan. Youngest Taiwanese Member of WCBA At the age of 22, Pan became the youngest Taiwanese ever to take on the WCBA. Pan has recently signed with Shanxi Xing Rui Flame after passing tryouts. Born and raised in eastern Yilan County, Pan said she grew up playing basketball with her brothers. What began as a pastime later turned into her devotion. Inspired by Chien, Pan ultimately decided to leave Yilan and move to New Taipei following junior high school graduation after being recruited to the traditional basketball powerhouse Hai-Shan High School (海山高中). The decision, however, was not supported by her family, Pan said. They, like most Taiwanese parents, only wanted their children to study hard and find a decent job in the future instead of playing sports. To fulfill her hoop dream, Pan insisted on moving to New Taipei even though it meant her mother was so angry about the decision that their relationship was strained for months, she said. (小时候在宜兰，潘姿吟跟着两位哥哥一起打球。受到钱薇娟的启发，他决定到新北市的 海山高中接受正规训练，而这个决定一开始不被他的父母接受，甚至和妈妈关系紧张了好 几个月。) For Pan, what was even more challenging, however, was the transition from playing for fun to systematic basketball training at Hai-Shan High School. Her physical condition and skills were all put to the test in those high school days. She also had to adjust to her new role of playing point guard for the team. At times, she almost gave up. Yet she refused to do so because of the words her mother told her before she left to chase her basketball career: “My mother said if I made up my mind to play basketball, then I should never give up so easily.” (在海山高中适应新的角色时，有时会想要放弃，但妈妈告诉他：如果决定要打篮球，就 不应该轻易的放弃。) Her hard work ultimately paid off as she became one of the best young hoop players of her generation in Taiwan. She later joined National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) while at the same time serving as a member for the Chunghwa Telecom Women's Basketball Team at local WSBL. During her days with NTNU, the team won three consecutive national championship titles and she was also named MVP at the championship series this year. Her signature quick crossovers and finishes with layups drew the attention of the Chinese league. She was given the chance to join tryouts held by the Flame recently, which she passed with flying colors and was ultimately granted a two-year contract from the team. (高中毕业後，进入台湾师大，在大学四年间帮助球队拿下三连霸，也获得了总冠军赛的 MVP。招牌的换手上篮吸引了WCBA的注意，接受测试之後得到了山西队两年的合约。) Dream Big to Become Better Commenting on the big decision to leave Taiwan for China, the young player said she really wants to broaden her horizon by taking on the challenge. “Taiwan's market is too small and I know I have to go abroad to broaden my horizon if I want to continue to better myself,” she said. (台湾的市场太小了，如果要变得更强必须要出去开拓我的眼界。) Before she flew to China, Pan said she had an opportunity to seek guidance from Chien. The retired basketball legend was the first woman from Taiwan to try out for the WNBA and later joined the Chinese professional league. “She told me that I have to learn to protect myself in games because Chinese players are a lot more physical than their Taiwanese counterparts,” Pan said. (在离开台湾前，潘姿吟向台湾第一位挑战WNBA後来前进WCBA的钱薇娟寻求建议；钱姐告 诉她，必须学会保护自己，因为中国的选手身体素质比台湾选手更强。) Now Pan has been practicing with the Flame for a week and she said she has already learned a great deal. “Many players playing point guard are a lot taller than me. And they are all equally fast, with precision shooting,” Pan said. The games in China are also extremely physical and referees will hardly blow whistle, she said, which is very different from the games in Taiwan. (潘姿吟已经跟着山西队练习几周，他发现那里很多的控球後卫都比他高、而且够快，篮 子也准。而且中国的比赛比起台湾多了很多身体对抗，裁判也不容易响哨。) Somewhat nervous yet excited, Pan said she looks forward to the upcoming WCBA season kicking off next month. From humble beginnings to becoming a rising star, Pan encourages all who have a dream to bravely pursue it and to live in the moment. (对下个月即将开季的WCBA，他感到紧张又兴奋。他鼓励有梦想的人应该及时追梦。) She also hopes that one day she will bring what she learned in China back to Taiwan to help make local women's basketball a better environment. (他也希望有一天，他可以带着他在WCBA学习到的，回馈给台湾，帮助台湾女篮的环境变 得更好。) --
