In the late 1990s
Taiwan has a player and Yao Ming
By the Asian Basketball Federation
Known as the two brightest stars of tomorrow
Asia's Most Promising Young Players
Yao Ming ranked second
He was number one
"Taiwan Flyer" Chen Xin'an
Date of birth: July 1, 1980
Height: 196cm
He is from Matsuyama High School, a basketball school
is HBL's leading scorer and MVP
Before officially joining the Matsuyama High School basketball team
Chen Xin'an played handball
Basketball is just play
However, he is 180cm tall in junior high school
It has long been famous in the field
Chen Xin'an, 18 years old
It's like it was born for basketball
At that time, his figure had not yet undergone intensive training
It is one of the best among high school students
His bounce and lag are excellent
Watch him break into the box
His lever seems to freeze time
Let people feel the beauty of basketball

High school
In his early 180s, he can dunk in athletic combat
In 1998
He led the newly formed Matsuyama High School team
In HBL's historic 5th place
At the same time, it also made its debut in the Asian Youth Championship

Taiwan did not have a professional league in 1999
Moreover, at that time, Taiwan did not have any foreign aid
This put Chen Xin'an in a way
Not well developed and honed
Even so
Chen Xin'an was still making rapid progress
2000 Asian Basketball Premier League
Chen Xin'an dunked on Yao Ming's head
Strengthened his determination to challenge the NBA
His basketball path has not been smooth at all
2001, 2003
He was injured twice in the Chinese Taipei team
Once he was poked in the eye and once he injured his knee
Even the Asian Championships can't be played
In 2002
Chen Xin'an was recommended by kings scouts
Traveled to the NBA for trials for the Kings and Nuggets
He attended the Kings' preseason training camp
He also played 3 games in the pre-season
Chen Xin'an became the first player in Taiwan to challenge the NBA
However, he withdrew from the Asian Championship training camp
It is regarded by the Chinese Taipei Basketball Association
"Abandoning honor in disregard" punishes a one-year ban
He was really hard at that time
Peja, who has only played 3 games with him
Remember him more than 10 years later
Because Chen Xin'an's efforts impressed him
In 2004, Chen Xinan joined the ABA Alliance
When I came back the next year
It is true that there is no opponent in Taiwan
Super smashing dunks
Sharp breakthroughs
Flowing and dexterous levers
But it was in the SBL final that year
He had severely torn ligaments and needed surgery
Thus I could not go to the King's training camp that summer
It also lost the opportunity to enter the NBA again
He said:
"Everybody knows the NBA is far away
But only I know how far it is."
In 2005
He scored 52 points in the SBL's crazy single game
No one has broken it so far
Later when he performed in Asian basketball
It's already 2007
He was the leader of the Chinese Taipei team at the Asian Championships
He averaged 18.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game
But after 2007, his injuries followed
Lax ligaments, lumbar injuries, calcifications of the knees
Let his bouncing power and explosive power be much less than before
Many injuries, plus Lin Zhijie's digging
He soon became the alternate part of Taiwanese basketball
In 2009, he came to the CBA and joined Dongguan
Su Wei, who is 212cm tall in the CBA playoffs
Suffering from a knee injury in the first season, he didn't perform well
The following year he became a bench defender
In the third year, there was no further renewal
Back in Taiwan, he continued to train
Body fat percentage remains at 4%
In Taiwan he is still that
"As long as he's willing to score
No one in taiwan can stop him."
Finally, in 2013, he chose to retire
At the retirement ceremony, he said:
"I still have a dream
It's my injury and a good day."
He was close to the NBA's dream
But in the end, he did not prove himself in the CBA
If Chen Xin'an is a mainland player
If Chen Xin'an did not have injuries
So what kind of heights will he eventually reach?
