Taiwanese guard Ai Chieh Yu has officially joined Japan's B1 League team, the Shiga Lakestars, becoming the first player to move directly from the Taiwan University Basketball Association to the B1 League. Yu, wearing his family-representing number 7 jersey, embraces this new challenge while being given special treatment similar to LeBron James in his rookie year, with the team even showing him video clips of potential new teammates before signing them to create a squad designed around him. The Lakestars aim to cultivate Yu as a Taiwanese star in the B.League, with plans to incorporate foreign players that complement his playing style.
