高雄聖徒隊的真面目！？ - 籃球

原文來自於Under The Hoop #0 籃球專欄

READ THIS MESSAGE THIS IS THE TRUTH! I had a business meeting with the Kaohsiu
ng Truth ownership on 12-15-2016. At this meeting was Wesley Hsu, his Wife Hol
ly Hsu and Carlos Andrade, my Wife and an unnamed official from Taiwan Basketb
all. We talked about a lot of issues mostly how their team has a lot of proble
ms at the moment from having no sponsors, why Coach Tryston was really fired,
and also speculation that the local Taiwanese players are not getting paid as
well as they are not receiving playing time!
這才是高雄聖徒隊的真面目！我於12月15日和高雄聖徒隊的負責人會面，其中包括許夢華
Wesley Hsu和他的太太 Holly Hsu，以及張可群 Carlos Andrade。我們提到了許多他們
現在面臨的許多問題，包括尋找贊助商、為什麼前任總教練 Coach Tryston 於球季中途
離開、外界種種財務上的猜測、以及外籍和台灣本土球員於球賽的上場時間分配。
At this meeting I brought up several issues such as mixing religion with baske
tball. The Kaohsiung Truth Organization wants the Taiwan local public and medi
a to believe that they are here in Taiwan to preach the word of God and play b
asketball when this is clearly not the case! The fact is that the Kaohsiung Tr
uth Organization are here in Taiwan because they are a organized group of conn
ected players that are using their statues as American Born Chinese players to
come over to Kaohsiung Taiwan and start a basketball team while also keeping
their connection of players in tact for the future! The local Taiwanese player
s are nothing more than pawns in a game used to meet the eligibility requireme
nts issued by the Asean Basketball League.
在這次面談中，我提出幾個關於高雄聖徒籃球隊與其宗教信仰之間所產生的問題。高雄聖
徒籃球隊想要給外界一個他們是來宣傳神的旨意的籃球隊，但是事實卻不是如此。事實是
，高雄聖徒籃球隊只是一群仗著自己擁有華裔球員身分的籃球員因為想要繼續打球而組成
的球隊，為了繼續維持他們在籃球界的人脈。而目前在球隊裡的台灣本土球員只是讓他們
為了能夠加入東南亞職業籃球聯賽 ASEAN Basketball League的一點籌碼而已。
I looked Wesley Hsu and Holly Hsu right in their eyes and told them, " I am in
the community more than you, and I even told them if they are here in Taiwan
to truly help the Taiwanese locals and kids that I could help them gain some r
espect in the community among Taiwanese locals and share some resources.
那天，我對許夢華 Wesley Hsu和他的太太 Holly Hsu說：「我一直以來都在高雄的籃球
社群裡付出，如果他們是真心想要回饋高雄的籃球文化，我願意把我的資源分享給他們，
讓高雄聖徒籃球隊可以在高雄增加一些人氣和粉絲。」
Over the next couple of days as you can see from the text I helped to arrange
meetings with a Well Known Sports Brand Representative as well as discuss busi
ness with a friend of mine in order to help Carlos Andrade and the Kaohsiung T
ruth with a order of basketball jerseys for their next game! 16 Jerseys to be
exact. I told Wesley Hsu that I have 2 pair of well known basketball shoes in
which Wesley turned around and "said if I could find him a pair of the same sh
oes that he would appreciate it! I helped to facilitate that as well as you ca
n see in the text.
這次面談之後的幾天，你可以從我的通聯記錄裡看到我積極地幫高雄聖徒籃球隊與知名運
動品牌安排會面的機會，並協助接洽聯絡訂製高雄聖徒籃球隊16件球衣和提供許夢華 Wes
ley Hsu想要球鞋的訂購資訊。
They then took some of the information I gave them and used it for their own b
enefit and to make their situation better! Look at the text message between me
and Holly Hsu and the actual date that The Kaohsiung Truth Organization went
to the public basketball court by Kaohsiung Martial Art Center 高雄市青少年籃
球場 and played basketball with local Taiwanese kids in an attempt to gain sup
port in the community! They used local Taiwanese kids for their own personal g
lory and monetary gain!
面談中，他們告訴我他們不知道怎麼接觸到高雄在地的籃球人，我和他們分享我自己在高
雄的籃球的經歷，我和他們分享我如何接觸到高雄的在地人，他們利用我們之間的談話內
容，變成他們自己的賺錢、得到知名度的方式。
This is a snake move! To use my information and then not give thanks or acknow
ledge that it was I who gave you the idea is a coward move! HolIy Hsu will pre
tend to be sad and like she is handling all of the daily business. Wesley will
pretend to be a religious well spoken gentleman who not only plays but owns t
he team for him and his connection of friends! He will also say he put up equi
ty in his house to help start the team and even might tell you a story about h
is inheritance. Carlos will pretend to be the guy in the background that is ju
st a team player and is soft spoken! But this does not take away from what the
y really are, "Con Artists with a smile and a basketball!"
這是一個很沒有道德的行為，利用我的經驗變成他們鑽取利益的一種方式，但我卻沒有得
到任何感謝或尊重。Holly Hsu 不斷的和我說他對於球隊的能不能經營地下去很苦惱，許
夢華 Wesley Hsu 告訴我身為球員兼老闆他是一個多麼虔誠的基督教徒，還為了這個球隊
把他的房子拿去貸款，而張可群 Carlos Andrade 卻只是在背後，知道很多內情但是卻不
願意站出來。他們是一群帶著笑容和籃球，卻以花言巧语骗人的人。
My team of resources spent days trying to help the Truth Organization from tra
nslating important information to setting up meetings with sponsors all the wa
y to explaining to the Truth Organization the value of setting up a basic foun
dation so that not only this generation of kids will prosper but the next gene
ration of kids 10-15 years down the line will have a chance to showcase their
talent, free of having to be connected to a organized group of players, corrup
tion, and under the table side deals that only benefit themselves and their ag
endas! Once again we were turned down!
我和我的球隊，以及台灣當地的籃球聯盟在接下來的幾天運用我們的資源只是為了提供高
雄聖徒籃球隊一點協助和可能的贊助機會，我們也清楚得溝通這些機會的重要性，以及我
們要放眼籃球的未來，現在的10-15歲孩子會是未來之星，讓他們能夠正確的學習籃球基
礎，讓這些孩子有一個健康、安全、又可以發展潛力的籃球舞台，跳脫台灣籃球文化那種
靠關係、私相授受的利益關係！但是，高雄聖徒籃球隊一概拒絕了我們的任何幫忙！
In conclusion, I was not imported here to Taiwan to play basketball I chose to
come here because my wife is Taiwanese so I have a totally different perspect
ive about what is going on over here in Taiwan Basketball! What I have laid ou
t are facts supported by clear evidence that millions of basketball players in
Taiwan and across the world have a right to know! Taiwan Basketball is being
controlled by a selected few that will cheat, lie and are corrupting this gene
ration of good Taiwanese players and the next generation of great Taiwanese pl
ayers to come for their own benefit and glory! Local Taiwanese ask yourself, y
our kid maybe practicing his or her heart out on a city court right now! They
could be the next Lebron James, Kobe Bryant or Stephen Curry! But because they
are not known or affiliated with a organized or connected group of players an
d the coaches are being controlled by parents or companies that pay money for
what players they want on the team, this talented kid on the court right now i
n Taiwan will never be given a chance to shine! Local Taiwanese ask yourself,
how many players that you personally know that are better than some of these p
layers in High School, College, SBL, and ABL? Taiwanese locals it's time to st
ep up and let your voice be heard. This type of known behavior is unacceptable
and millions of local Taiwanese talk about it everyday but feel they have no
voice to make a change! I am just making the country of Taiwan and the World a
ware of what is going on here and what has been going on for years! This is th
e Truth of what is going on here in Taiwan. Taiwanese let your voice be heard,
tell your basketball experience and Truth!
我並不是為了籃球而來到台灣，我是為了我的台灣太太而搬到地球的另一邊，所以對於台
灣的籃球文化，我和其他外籍球員有完全不一樣的看法。我希望掀開台灣籃球的現實面，
公開給所有的人，因為每一個人都擁有知道真相的權利。目前的台灣籃球文化是由少數人
掌控，為了他們自己的利益而荼毒我們下一代的籃球未來之星。台灣人，問問你自己，你
會希望讓你的孩子面對這個只有給少數有利益關係的人機會的世界嗎？你的孩子可能在球
場上很有潛能，可以打進NBA或成為新時代的林書豪、Lebron、Curry、Kobe，但是卻沒有
人給予任何機會，而斷送籃球前途。我希望可以借用這個平台，改變台灣現在的籃球文化
，借用大家的力量變成行動力，因為要改變這個長久以來扭曲變形的籃球文化需要所有台
灣人民的支持！這個才是台灣籃球的真面目！讓我們一起努力，把我們的聲音變成改變的
動力！告訴我你的籃球故事吧！

難道我期待這麼久的台灣職業籃球隊真的如此的黑暗！？
