The 34-year-old Liu Zheng has always been obligated to call up the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team, saying: "I can still stand here now, I maintain a grateful and cherished attitude. He called on the juniors to work hard for the Chinese Taipei team, and also to maintain defensive intensity, concentration and offensive threat in the fourth quarter of the game, and avoid losing power in one of the quarters.
