The Super Basketball League (超級籃球聯賽), often abbreviated as the SBL, is a men's semi-pro basketball league in Taiwan.
Yen Hsing-su, also known as Johnny Yen, is a Taiwanese basketball coach and former basketball player, singer and actor. Since 2017 he has been the assistant coach of the Chinese Taipei men's national basketball team. From 2015 to 2017 he coached the Fubon Braves in Taiwan's Super Basketball League.
The Taipei Fubon Braves are a professional basketball team that is owned by Fubon Sports & Entertainment, LLC., one of the subsidiaries under Fubon Financial Holding Co., Ltd. and currently plays in the Taiwanese P. League+. From 2014 to 2019, they played in the semi-pro Super Basketball League (SBL). They have also been part of the professional ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) since the 2019–20 ABL season. In the summer of 2020, when P. League+ was founded, they joined the league as one of the four founding teams and secured a three-peat from the 2020-21 season to the 2022-23 season.
The 2019–20 Super Basketball League was the seventeenth season of the Super Basketball League, which opened on December 14. The venues are distributed in Heping Basketball Stadium, Banqiao Stadium, Xinzhuang Stadium, Taoyuan Arena, Hsinchu Municipal Stadium, and Changhua County Stadium. This season, due to the withdrawal of the Dacin Tigers, the Taipei Fubon Braves to the ASEAN Basketball League, and the Golden Gate Winery Basketball Team was renamed the Kaohsiung Jeoutai Technology Basketball Team due to the change of sponsor to Jeoutai Technology. The participating teams are the Yulon Luxgen Dinos, Taoyuan Puyuan Architecture, Jeoutai Technology, Taiwan Beer and Bank of Taiwan. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the middle of the season, the star games in February and all events in the second half of the season were cancelled and closed games were adopted. Then, because the New Taipei City government closed the public venues on March 20, 2020, SBL was originally scheduled to suspend the game for two weeks, and subsequently changed to the Haoyu International Basketball Training Center as the venue for the competition. Under the influence of the pandemic, SBL became one of the few sports leagues that could sustain their season. Therefore, the broadcaster provided a viewing channel for global fans, including Twitter and YouTube, and cooperated with FIBA. In the live broadcast, there were a maximum of 847,000 viewership records on Twitter in the championship series, and also received media reports from The New York Times and ESPN.
