[Reporter Lin Yuefu/Taipei Report] "New Taiwanese" Artino moved to the PLG Hsinchu Street Siege Lions this year. Today, he will wear the Taiwan training team jersey at the Cross-League Basketball Invitational Tournament to face the new owner. He shows no mercy. With 26 points, the team led the team to a 95-79 victory over the Siege Lions, and also let the two teams participating in the PLG cross-league say goodbye in advance.

Artino has been in ABL Treasure Island Dreamer in the past, played for T1 Tainan Taigang Falcons last season, and will meet Simba and Bennett in Windy City in the new season.

However, since he is still a naturalized player of the Taiwan team, this time he will represent the Taiwan team in the cross-league competition, mainly cooperating with a number of UBA college students to adapt to the play style of young domestic players.

The Taiwan training team played against SBL Changhua Baili Li yesterday. Artino did not play, but he knew that the top 8 would face his former club. He was also reluctant, but he showed his dominance when he played today, shooting 10 out of 16. Among them, including 2 three-pointers, scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team to advance to the top 4.

Not only did Artino show great power, but also from UBA Hiking University Gao Jinwei with 12 points, Liu Chengxun with 10 points, Ding Guanhao with 13 points, and Taiwan division power forward Lin Xinkuan, who scored 26 points in the previous campaign, also scored 11 points and Chen Guanzhong of the National Academy of Sciences with 10 points.

The best performance of the siege lion was rookie Zeng Baiyu with 18 points, Xiao Shunyi with 13 points, Li Jiarui with 12 points and foreign student Ipoka with 15 points, but unfortunately they still lost.

PLG is in the cross-league, composed of Fubon Warriors, New Taipei Kings, Taishin Dreamers, Kaohsiung Iron Man, Taoyuan Pilot Ape's rookies, and young players to form PLG Rising Stars, but in Group A, they ranked fifth in the group with 1 win and 4 losses, and missed the chance. In the knockout round of the top 8, after the siege lions who sent their own teams are now out, the two teams affiliated to PLG can only come back next time.
