[Reporter Nian Miaoyun/Reporting from Taipei] The new season of the Fubon Life UBA College Basketball League will officially start on November 17. Today’s press conference invites player representatives from all levels to attend and jointly announce the official start of the 115-year college basketball season. With the call of "Come and play", all players and fans are invited to enter the stadium and enjoy the enthusiasm and fun brought by basketball. Among them, National Chengchi University, which is challenging for 7 consecutive championships, attracts the most attention. Lin Enyu, who took on the role of captain this year, changed his look and grew a beard. He laughed and said that because his family wanted to see his different styles, he also found it interesting.

This school year uses "Make Your Play" as the slogan of the new season, inviting all participants, including every passionate fan who comes to support, to enjoy the enthusiasm and fun of the game with the feeling of falling in love with basketball in the first place. At the same time, we also encourage all participating teams to not forget the purity and joy of falling in love with basketball in the first place, to devote themselves to every game and enjoy every moment on the court.

Last season, National University advanced all the way to the championship game, wrote a surprise and accepted the runner-up. In the new school year, the team reorganized and started again. The main player Hu Jinhao remained in the team and became an important force for the team to challenge for the championship again. The defending foreign student from the Military and Political University, Popoka, also remains on the team. The two powerful teams will once again face off on the court, which is highly anticipated.

This academic year, the open men’s first level also welcomes four new faces, including Taiwan University of Science and Technology, which won the championship in the open second level last season, Beishi University and Culture University, which returned to the first level after a season, and National Taiwan Steel University, which made its debut on the first level stage.

Last season, NCCU achieved 6 consecutive victories and a 74-game winning streak across all seasons. However, with the graduation of Song Xinhao and Wu Zhikai, the team's strength has also been shuffled. This year, Lin Enyu will serve as the captain. Today he unveiled his new beard style at a press conference. He said with a smile, "My family wants to see different styles. I think it's interesting and I can try it out. I also want to see what I look like with a beard."

Lin Enyu's new beard style made him "face-to-face" with singer Zhang Zhenyue and NBA star James. He laughed and said, "Some people do say that, but only the beard part looks like them!"

When it comes to preparations for this year's off-season, Lin Enyu revealed that the schedule is actually quite tight. In addition to the Foguang Cup and the Asian University Basketball Games, he also went to Japan and other places to compete and train, and gained a lot. "Such experience and training are a great advantage for us, because when we face teams from different countries and different styles, we can learn to adapt on the spot and even compete against them."

Aiming for 7 consecutive championships this season, Lin Enyu said that this is an achievement left by the seniors, but training hard in competitive sports is to win the championship. "Although Zhi Kai and the others left the team this year, new blood has joined. I hope we can play our own basketball this year, write our own story, and finally win our championship."

As the captain, Lin Enyu hopes to help the team more. "Of course there are many individual awards and statistics that can be strived for, but I will not pursue them in particular. The primary goal is to be able to help the team and help the students integrate faster."
