    2019-01-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THE National Basketball Association (NBA) announced Monday that the NBA China Games 2019 will feature two preseason games between the 16-time NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets. The Lakers and Nets will play Oct. 10 in Shanghai, followed by a rematch in Shenzhen on Oct. 12.

The games will mark the Lakers’ second trip to China following their visit in 2013, when they played two preseason games in Beijing and Shanghai. The Nets will be playing in China for the third time after playing in Beijing and Guangzhou in 2010, and in Beijing and Shanghai in 2014. The NBA China Games 2019 will be the NBA’s 27th and 28th games in China, with 17 NBA teams having played games in Beijing, Guangzhou, Macao, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chinese Taipei since 2004.

The Lakers’ roster currently features three-time NBA Champion LeBron James, 2016 No. 2 overall draft pick Brandon Ingram, 2017 No. 2 overall draft pick Lonzo Ball, and 2017 No. 27 overall draft pick Kyle Kuzma.

The Nets, under the ownership of Mikhail Prokhorov and Joe Tsai, executive vice chairman of the China-based e-commerce giant Alibaba, who acquired 49 percent of the Nets last year, have a roster that currently features 2015 No. 2 overall draft pick D’Angelo Russell, 2016 No. 20 overall draft pick Caris LeVert, 2017 No. 22 overall draft pick Jarrett Allen, and 2018 Kia NBA Most Improved Player Award finalist Spencer Dinwiddie.

The NBA China Games will feature a variety of fan activities, including the eighth annual NBA Fan Day Presented by Dongfeng Nissan in Shanghai, which will provide thousands of fans the opportunity to enjoy a performance by Chinese celebrities and watch the Lakers and the Nets participate in on-court drills. Lucky fans will team up with celebrities and players from the two teams to compete in shooting contests. The NBA Fan Day will be broadcast live and streamed through NBA China’s media partner platforms.(SD-Agencies)
