Taiwanese basketball star Abasi officially joins Japan's B.League team Akita Northern Happiness as the first Taiwanese to challenge the league. The team's chairman personally flew to Taiwan to attend the signing ceremony and presented Abasi with the 'Number 0 jersey' once worn by Japanese star point guard Fugashi Yuki. Abasi, who became a naturalized Taiwanese in 2020, signed a 1+1 contract with Akita Northern Happiness, aiming to enhance the team's offensive capabilities. The chairman hopes Abasi can serve as a bridge between Akita and Taiwan, inviting fans to watch his games and experience the local culture.
