We’ve received access to some photos from China as the USBA China Tour continues. The photos of the arenas can give you an idea of the importance of the event to the area.
Additional photos can be seen from the following links, Photo Group 1 and Photo Group 2.
This is a brief translation of some of the Chinese media coverage.
These photos are from the afternoon of April 26, as the American team came to the Youth Plaza and met the Fuling basketball fans. Head Coach, NetScouts Basketball’s Chris Denker divided the USA team into three groups to demonstrate their teamwork. The USA players were interviewed by the Chinese media at the end of the demonstration. The American players said that although this is their first time in Fuling, the area has given them a very good impression and is very beautiful. This morning they went for a walk, saw the rugged mountain road and were very impressed with the mountain town’s beauty. The players did not expect many NBA fans and discussed playing techniques with the fans.
The Fuling Hotel Cup 2012 International Basketball Si Guosai by the State Sports General Administration of Basketball Administration Center was organized by Chongqing Fuling District People’s Government and Chongqing Municipal Basketball Administration Center, contractors, Fuling District Sports Council and the Fuling Hotel company. There are national teams from the USA, Australia and New Zealand participating with China’s national youth team at Fuling Stadium from April 27th to 29th.
Thanks to the Fuling media organization and government for their hospitality and the photos.
