Hong Kong Bulls owner Tony Chin promises “more to come” after stunning debut win in National Basketball League
- Chin says he wants the team to have its own cheerleaders and that game nights could have different themes
- Bulls began life in the NBL by beating the defending champions Guangxi Rhinos 102-91 in Wan Chai
After a stunning win in China’s National Basketball League opener on Sunday, Hong Kong Bulls owner Tony Chin To has promised to deliver the “best possible experience” to fans for the rest of the season at Southorn Stadium.
A full house witnessed the hosts downing two-time defending champions Guangxi Rhinos 102-91 in Wan Chai, and about 2,000 spectators were treated to some dazzling performances by popular Taiwanese cheerleaders the Rakuten Girls throughout the night.
While the atmosphere in the arena matched his pre-game expectations, Chin, who also owns Taiwanese P. League+ team Kaohsiung 17LIVE Steelers, remained adamant there is always room for improvement.
“Perhaps we can do better with the lighting, I think we could add some laser beam elements before tip-off and also have a projection of the team’s logo onto the floor.”
With fans willing to fork out HK$3,000 for a pair of the most expensive tickets, just to watch the Rakuten Girls from the front row, Chin revealed there was more to come.
