I am a basketball fan, also the representatives of the YDAHK Board of Directors, played in the Guest Invitation Game with my friends. We have been one team for many games. We have learnt that the victory in a basketball game requires not only excellent individual skills but also the teamwork. Today, those who have achieved awards in various aspects relied on their personal vision and intelligence. It was also the perfect opportunity to utilizing everyone's strengths and cooperated well with others.
