He also appeared in the National Basketball Association Summer League in 2005. Since his national team debut at the International Basketball Federation Asia Championship 2001, Tien has served as starting power forward for the Chinese Taipei national basketball team In addition to his ability to make long-range shots, Tien has also been the most efficient rebounder on the Taiwanese team in international tournaments—owing much to his jumping ability.
At the International Basketball Federation Asia Championship 2009, he helped Chinese Taipei to a fifth-place finish, the team"s best record in the tournament since the turn of the century, while averaging 10.6 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
He was thus named to the All-Tournament Third Team. Despite the progress made by his teams in recent years, nonetheless, Tien"s ability to rebound and make inside plays has been compromised by fatigue fracture in his left tibia since 2007.
