Rex Wu hopes a move to Hong Kong Bulls will help him achieve his goal of becoming a professional in elite leagues
Rex Wu Wai-tsun knows he is fighting against the odds to fulfil his dream of playing basketball alongside the region’s elite, but hopes competing in China’s second tier will take him a step closer to making that a reality.
At 6ft (1.82 metres), the 20-year-old Hongkonger is small by the standards of the modern game, but Wu, who has been chasing his goal for a decade, is used to defying expectations.
Now, having joined Hong Kong Bulls for their third season in the National Basketball League, he has his eyes on a rapid rise.
“I want to play outside Hong Kong,” Wu said. “I’d like to challenge myself in the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) or in Japan’s B League.
