In the 17th season of the SBL draft in 2019, only 3 people were selected in the final result, which is the smallest number in history. In addition to the record number of people this year’s draft, it also added an extraordinary record to the history of Taiwan’s sports. The Bank of Taiwan selected the “first department in Taiwan” with the first overall pick in the second round. Graduated from the Department of Medicine of National Taiwan University Liu Renhao.
Three years later, after Liu Renhao’s contract with the Taiwan Bank basketball team ended, he chose to return to his “professional” when he was studying. Now he is a non-specialist resident at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Linkou. Why did he choose to be the hottest basketball player in Taiwan and have the best salary conditions? Excellent, each team chooses to leave in the armament “snatch battle”? Just let him tell you himself.
Not only can play, but also the top of the full-level county
Liu Renhao’s first sport when he was a child was not basketball, but his father, who likes playing billiards, would take him to the gym with him. While his father was playing billiards, Liu Renhao played badminton on the side. Elementary school badminton team. But after the fourth grade, all the students fell in love with playing basketball, and Liu Renhao was influenced by his peers and began to come into contact with basketball.
He has been above others since he was a child. He was 188 cm tall in middle school, so he was asked by the captain of the basketball team to play the school team. At that time, the school basketball team was only a club and did not particularly spend time on playing. In addition to his height advantage, he has been outstanding in his academic performance since he was a child. He was admitted to Kaohsiung Middle School as the top of the Pingtung County in the basic test of the middle school.
From entering Kaohsiung Middle School, the first choice in the Gaoping area, Liu Renhao decided that he would take the road of “advance to higher education” in the future. For him, playing basketball was only used to “adjust his body and mind” interest. The Xiongzhong basketball team also belongs to a club. He used his lunch break to practice ball, but he still focused on his schoolwork. With high schoolwork pressure and tuition after school, “time planning” has become very important. He lives in Pingtung and has to commute by train to and from school every day. Schedule your time well and find some time to exercise.
He successfully applied to the “National Taiwan University Department of Medicine” with a full score of 75. Although the National Taiwan University basketball team belongs to the public second-level, this is the first time he has received “regular” basketball team training.
From basketball amateur all the way to SBL
When he was a freshman and a sophomore, Yue Yingli, who was still an SBL player at the time, briefly went to National Taiwan University to lead the basketball team. He recognized Liu Renhao’s skills and welcomed him to the SBL team as a trainee to hone his skills. At that time, Liu Renhao only felt happy to be recognized by SBL players, but he did not take the matter of playing professional basketball in his heart in the future, so he did not have further contact or contact with the SBL team.
When he was in his fifth year, Liu Renhao was chatting with a group of medical students. They discussed that if after graduation, if they get a doctor’s license, whether it is working in a hospital or starting a business by themselves, their career will be a doctor for a lifetime. If there is something they want to do Dreams and dreams should be completed and realized before entering the hospital.So he has“After graduation, is it possible not to become a doctor first, but to do something that you can do while you are young?”With this kind of thinking, his option at that time was not only to play SBL, but also considered some specialties that could not be learned in the hospital abroad, such as sports medicine, sports protection, sports training and so on. After thinking about it and recalling the previous approval from Yue Yingli, I feel that “playing professional basketball” can be tried hard to see if there is a chance.
When he was a senior in the sixth year, Liu Renhao decided not to enter the hospital as a resident doctor, and found a physical fitness coach for one-on-one training. After graduating from college, he asked Zhu Yonghong, a silver player at the front desk who was also the coach of the National Taiwan University basketball team, if he had any. He had the opportunity to practice with the Taiwan Bank basketball team, and finally obtained the approval of the Taiwan Bank. While training, he prepared for the national examination as a doctor. In the end, Liu Renhao successfully passed the national examination. He was also selected by the Bank of Taiwan in the SBL draft. In his life, he balances playing and studying.
3 years of career experience the worst and the most prosperous, this is the only chance to realize the dream
Before joining the Bank of Taiwan, Liu Renhao clearly agreed to “only give himself two years” to see what kind of fame and success he can make if he is devoted to basketball. high. Although he suffered a serious knee ligament injury, he was almost occupied by injuries for the first two years of his career, and he didn’t have much time to play, so he gave himself a chance to “extension”, and Taiwan Silver was a rookie for two years. The contract will be renewed for another year, but he also fully understands that this is really the last year. No matter how good or bad the game is, there will be no more “second playoffs”.
Therefore, even at the lowest ebb in Taiwan’s basketball world when only 3 people were selected, the audience was sparse, the salary was not high, and the stars were leaving, he still invested in the draft and signed a contract, because the “salary” and the “environment” from start to finish were not good or bad. Factors considered by Liu Renhao. Therefore, after his 2+1-year contract with Bank of Taiwan is over, even if teams from other leagues offer more attractive salary conditions to win him over, and the parent team Bank of Taiwan is willing to renew his contract, but Liu Renhao has never changed his mind from beginning to end, because for him, he has achieved what he “wanted to do”.
Love the challenge and put on a white robe outside the comfort zone
Liu Renhao is currently a non-disciplinary resident physician of Chang Gung in Linkou. Unlike most of his classmates who graduated from the National Taiwan University Medical Department, he did not choose a hospital under the National Taiwan University system, but the Chang Gung system. In addition to his desire to develop into orthopaedics or rehabilitation in the future, this is the strength of Chang Gung in Linkou. On the other hand, Liu Renhao wants to change to a new environment and leave the network and halo of National Taiwan University, although he knew less in Chang Gung Hospital at the beginning. Senior Sister, always feels that she looks out of place, but this is a new challenge he has given him. Some of his colleagues know his status as “National Taiwan University Medical Professional Basketball Player” and are friendly to him.
Playing in SBL and hospitals seem to be two completely different fields, but Liu Renhao believes that his three years of time have not been in vain. , and interviews with many media, all of which have helped him communicate more smoothly with people, even in the face of strangers he met for the first time, he can talk freely, which will be of great help to his career as a doctor in the future, and the consultation can be smoother. talking to patients.
Although he left the professional basketball arena, Liu Renhao still maintains the habit of exercising. The workplace environment in the hospital is much different from that of playing basketball. The hospital is relatively high-pressure and the working hours are long. Many doctors have shared with him “pressure relief methods”. Eating delicious food to relieve stress, Liu Renhao himself found a pressure relief channel after work through basketball and sports, which can also maintain muscle strength and health.
unprecedented, perhapsbackcomer
“Actually, there are many people like me who can do both things well. It’s just that my two specialties, ‘basketball and schoolwork’, are in conflict with traditional concepts, so my story is especially watched by everyone.”Liu Renhao said that now the whole social atmosphere and atmosphere are gradually opening up, and even if there are professional athletes similar to his learning experience in the future, I believe everyone will look at it optimistically.
“When faced with a decision to make, if you’re just scared or afraid of being different and you’re holding back, then that’s the one thing that has to be done.”This is a sentence that Liu Renhao often said to himself when facing difficulties. This sentence also perfectly explains his transition from an amateur basketball player in the National Taiwan University Medical Department to a cross-level challenge to professional basketball; from a scholarly athlete who escaped his comfort zone to a different The new environment of the National Taiwan University system as a resident physician. What slashes will this “the most basketball-playing doctor in Taiwan” do or want to challenge new things? Let’s wait and see!
