Chinese fans were all intently staring at their televisions; Sun Zhengping's familiar voice added a touch of tension to the game:
"The game restarts, now with the Warriors' guard, number 1 Hardaway in control. The Warriors are trailing 106 to 108 by 2 points, it's a critical moment in the game. Let's see if the 18-year-old from China, Roger, can stop Hardaway's attack this time."
Today's game is not only a big deal in the United States, but it has also become the highest-rated NBA broadcast in China since its commencement.
Since Roger entered the league, CCTV began broadcasting two NBA games every weekend, which quickly spread the NBA's fame domestically.
And this game between Penny and Roger pushed the NBA's popularity in China to an initial high.
