Live from Wukesong Day 4 Part 1

And so, it's the men's basketball games today.
The highlight was the match between China and Spain. Spain is undoubtedly one of the strongest teams alongside with Argentina and needless to say, USA (with their league of NBA biggies!)

The Chinese were the underdogs with their fair share of NBA stars too like Yao Ming and Yi Jian Lian, who sent many hearts fluttering (& probably broken too). They were pretty impressive in the first 3 quarters with plenty of 3-pointers and even led the game by 14 points at one point in time.

The game drew closer when the 4th quarter started and the Spanish finally caught up to draw the game at 72 points, stretching the game to extra time. Spain won ultimately... boo!

But the Chinese audience scored big time as they possibly created the most phenomenal atmosphere ever! We are talking about the audience going berserk every single time the Chinese players even touched the ball! 中国队，加油! was the only chant I heard the entire game, accompanied with uncountable number of Chinese flags.

I was rooting for China too, together with my fellow volunteers. It felt as if we were breathing with the players and probably felt as nervous as them. To a better game against Angola on Thursday - 中国队，加油!
