Wikipedia - Saigon Heat
The Saigon Heat is a Vietnamese professional basketball team based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Since the 2014 season, the Heat's home games are played at the CIS Arena on the campus of the Canadian International School in District 7. This is the first professional basketball team based in Vietnam.
The Heat also operates a developmental team that plays in the Vietnam Basketball Association, Vietnam's first professional basketball league.
History
The Saigon Heat are the first professional basketball team in Vietnam based in Ho Chi Minh City. They were officially announced as a member of the ASEAN Basketball League in October 2011. The team was formed by the Saigon Sports Academy, a multi-sports training academy launched in January 2009 and located in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
In their inaugural season, the Heat finished sixth in the ABL with a regular season record of 8–13. The Heat did not qualify in for the 2012 ABL Playoffs. The Heat followed up their inaugural season with another disappointing sixth-place finish in an injury plagued 2013 season, highlighted by a twelve-game losing streak.
Thirteen games into the 2014 season, head coach Jason Rabedeaux suddenly died, the main cause of death was traumatic brain injury. Coach Rabedeaux's assistant Anthony Garbelotto was named the new head coach. The Heat finished the season in fourth place, clinching their first ever playoff berth. The Heat were swept 0–2 by the Westports Malaysia Dragons in the 2014 ABL Playoffs.
Following the completion of the 2015–16 season, the Heat announced the formation of Vietnam's first professional basketball league, the Vietnam Basketball Association, where they would field a developmental team. The Heat VBA team consists of local players, with several of the ABL side's players being distributed among the other VBA teams for league parity purposes.[]
Los Saigon Heat son uno de los equipos más populares de la VBA y tienen una gran base de seguidores en Vietnam. El equipo es propiedad del empresario vietnamita Nguyen Manh Ha, quien también es el presidente de la VBA. El entrenador en jefe del equipo es el estadounidense Todd Purves, quien anteriormente entrenó a los Saigon Heat en la temporada 2016.
Los Saigon Heat han representado a Vietnam en varias competiciones internacionales, incluida la Copa FIBA Asia Challenge 2017, donde terminaron en cuarto lugar. El equipo también participó en la Liga ASEAN de Baloncesto 2018, donde llegaron a la final, pero perdieron ante el Hong Kong Eastern Long Lions.
Los Saigon Heat son un equipo en ascenso en el panorama del baloncesto asiático y son uno de los equipos más emocionantes de ver en la VBA. El equipo tiene un futuro brillante y espera lograr aún más éxitos en los próximos años.
