Han's career has been marked by dedication and loyalty. Since joining Liaoning in 2007, he spent 18 years with the team, remaining committed, even when offered record-breaking contracts by other clubs.
"I was born and raised in Liaoning. Contributing to Liaoning is what I should do," Han said.
During the semifinals at Dongguan Basketball Center, the arena was filled with Guangdong fans cheering loudly for the home team. After the match, the MC invited the crowd to salute Liaoning veterans Han and Li Xiaoxu.
"This is their last National Games as players. I think we should give them our applause, celebrate the Liaoning-Guangdong rivalry we've cherished, and honor our basketball youth," he said.
"To youth; never regret!"
