The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 25,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 9 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Taiwan Mobile has decided to release former NBA draft pick Marcus Fizer for his bad attitude, local media reported.

Fizer, who played for TM in only one game, told the team his injury flared up and did not practice with the team since then. He asked not to play this week.

According to TM head coach Jia Fan, Fizer also demanded extra preferential treatment.

Jia was quoted as saying that the team decided not to tolerate such behavior and release Fizer. “We don’t let a player to decide when he is in the mood to play and when not to,” he said.

At the same time, KKL is testing Manny Richardson along with Antoine Broxsie. Since each team is allowed to register one import, Richardson had to sit this week and Broxsie took the opportunity to prove himself.

Broxsie, who was tested by Taiwan Beer before joining KKL, had 18 points, 18 rebounds and seven blocks in KKL’s 56-55 win over TB on Saturday after scoring 34 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in a 98-93 overtime victory over TM on Friday.

Taiwan Beer is said to be releasing Dennis Carr and could bring back Emmanuel Jones, who played for TB last year.

Pure Youth will have to find a replacement for Terence Dials, who had to leave Taiwan after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, and it has locked up 6-9 forward Quincy Davis, local media reported Thursday.

Davis, who played in China in 2010 and Turkey this year, averaged 10.4 points, 5.3 rebounds during his four years at Tulane University.

PY head coach Hsu Chin-tse was quoted as saying that he was not sure whether 27-year-old Davis would be able to arrive in Taiwan on time because of the Christmas break.

Import players are making their impact felt in the opening week as the 2011-12 SBL season tipped off in the central city of Miaoli on Saturday.

6-7 Kevin Johnson had double-doubles on consecutive games and led Yulon to a 2-0 start, beating Pure Youth and KKL respectively. Johnson had 22 points, 23 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals against PY and 28 and 22 against KKL.

A pair of former NBA players also turned in solid performances. Marcus Fizer had 23 points and 13 rebounds in his debut and led Taiwan Mobile to a comeback win against Bank of Taiwan, 66-62.

Noel Felix tallied 19 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks in Dacin’s 70-62  opening win over defending champion Taiwan Beer and followed up with 17 and 8 in a 86-77 win over PY.

In terms of local players, Chen Hsin-an and Tien Lei both had a disappointing week.

Chen, who returned from China and joined Pure Youth, was a combined 7 for 25 from the field and has averaged 9 points in two games. Having been picked by some analysts as a favorite to make the SBL Finals, Pure Youth opened the season 0-2.

Coming off a lower leg stress fracture injury after a 12-month rest, 202cm forward Tien Lei had only 11 points in two games and played only 9 minutes in the second game due to knee injury. His injury is reportedly to be minor.

PY’s Terence Dials had 20 and 19 in the first game but hurt his knee in the third quarter against Dacin on Sunday and left the game with 14 points. According to media reports, Dials will undergo a MRI to determine  how serious of his injury. It was reported that PY may have to start searching for a new import player.

Taiwan Mobile signed 6-8 forward Marcus Fizer, the second former NBA player in the SBL following Noel Felix of Dacin Tiger, local media reported.

Fizer, out of Iowa State, was the No. 4 pick selected by the Chicago Bulls in the 2000 NBA Draft and went on to play for the Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets between 2000-2006. He was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team in 2001 and won the NBDL MVP in 2006.

He appeared in 289 career NBA games, making 35 starts and averaging 9.6 ppg, 4.6 rpg and 1.2 apg, shooting .435 from the floor and .691 from the free throw line in 20.9 mpg

After the NBA, Fizer played in Span, Israel and Puerto Rico.

According to the Wikipedia, Fizer was one of the most heavily tattooed players in the NBA. As of March 2006, he had 31 tattoos.

Local media reported that Fizer did not play in the past year to nurse his injury. The 120kg forward was also quoted as saying that he had watched SBL game clips on Youtube before arriving in Taiwan.

Fizer described the SBL as a league playing at a quicker pace and stressing perimeter shooting, which is similar to the European style.

TM head coach Jia Fan said he has been pleased with Fizer’s strong work ethic so far and believed that the US forward would greatly help the team in fighting for a playoff berth.

In related news, Taiwan Beer was said to be unhappy with DeAngelo Collins, the Liberty Times reported.

TB players described Collins as selfish and chided his work ethics. Yen Chia-hua, TB’s head coach, was quoted as saying that he is considering to replace Collins.

Current SBL imports are:
Yulon: Kevin Johnson, Humboldt St.
Dacin: Noel Felix, Fresno St.
TB: DeAngelo Collins, HS
KKL: Rashad Jones-Jennings, UALR
BOT: John Vaudreuil, Minnesota-Duluth
PY: Terence Dials, Ohio St.
TM: Marcus Fizer, Iowa St.

For the first time, SBL games will be scheduled to play in the southern city of Greater Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s second largest city. The regular season games from Jan.6-8 will be played at Kaohsiung Dome with a capacity of over 10,000.

Each of the seven SBL teams will meet each other five times during the regular season with the top four teams advancing to the postseason.

No regular season games will be played in Taipei City however as there is no qualified arena in downtown Taipei to host the games. The four host cities are Miaoli, Greater Kaohsiung, Jhubei of Hsinchu County and Sinjhuang of New Taipei City.

According to the CTBA, the All-Star Game could be played at Jhubei and the playoffs could be played at the National Taiwan University Gymnasium and/or Sinjhuang Stadium.

Seven exhibition games will be played at Taipei Municipal Gymnasium between Dec. 6 and Dec. 8 with each team playing two games. The games will be free of charge.

In related news, Taiwan Mobile has released Lorenzo Davis and is the only team among seven SBL teams without an import now.

Current SBL imports are:
Yulon: Kevin Johnson, Humboldt St.
Dacin: Noel Felix, Fresno St.
TB: DeAngelo Collins, HS
KKL: Rashad Jones-Jennings, UALR
BOT: John Vaudreuil, Minnesota-Duluth
PY: Terence Davis, Ohio St.
TM: None

Bank of Taiwan retained John Vaudreuil as the only team without making changes to its import player. While rebounding machine Rashad Jones-Jennings stayed in Taiwan, he signed with KKL after spending last year with Pure Youth.

Yulon, which had refused to sign any import player in the past, had to sign Kevin Johnson to deal with the void left by departing center Tseng Wen-ting, who is currently playing in China.
