Despite the rainy weather, loyal fans of the New North King turned out with umbrellas to celebrate the team's first-ever championship victory in the PLG finals against the Taoyuan Puyuan Leading Apes. The team's chairman announced the establishment of a new Taiwanese professional basketball league, deflecting media attention to maintain the focus on the championship win. The parade, lasting an hour, saw players posing with the championship trophy and fans cheering, with player Lin Shuhao even bringing his dog along. The event also highlighted Lin Shuhao's brother, Lin Shuwei, as a key part of the winning team. Players expressed gratitude to fans for their support throughout the challenging season, with MVP Lee Kai-yan attributing their success to the unwavering support of the fans and the city of New Taipei. The celebration event included interactive sessions with fans and autograph signings, although media interviews were avoided, possibly to keep the focus on the victory celebrations and away from the new league issue. Lin Shuhao's return to Taiwan for the second season, playing alongside his brother, overcoming injuries, and relying on strong teamwork, contributed to the team's championship victory after three years of effort.
