News from Germany

This is a story by my colleague (well, sort of..) Kristian Santiage at Eurobasket.com Network:

Taiwanese abroad : Germany
Tsun Hsien Chang (190-F) of BG Goettingen II scored 23 points in his team's 92-73 winner over VFL Hameln in the Regionalliga Nord/West. He made seven of ten attempts from the free-throw line and is one of the leading scorers (21.2 ppg) in the fifth division in Germany right now.

Another Taiwanese played last weekend, Juefan Geiger (204-C-81) recorded only five minutes of playing time for USC Freiburg in the Pro B , Germany's third professional league. The 2,05m center is not seeing much playing time recently, after five strong games in the beginning of the season where he scored 10 ,12 and 14 points and looked like a lock on his position.He is currently averaging 6.7 ppg (54,8% FG) and 3.9 rpg for the team from the south.
