下期预告：用于介绍NBA等组织的重要词汇~

I'm most interested in the NBA, which stands for the National Basketball Association. It's probably the most renowned sports organization in the world. As far as I know, currently the NBA is made up of 30 teams of America and Canada. This organizaion was founded in New York like 60 years ago. At first, things were kind of tough, but these days, it's one of the most influential sports organisations in the world. There are tons of basketball buffs here in China and that's why NBA has such a huge following here. Some NBA games are even played in China and the tickets sell out in like 20 minutes. I don't know why but sometimes in China, live broadcasts of the regular season or playoffs stop being aired at all of a sudden. The TV station just doesn't give any explanation. And that really bothers me. Well, it's good we still have the Internet. My favourite basketball players are Yao and Kobe Bryant. They are really cool. I admire them not just for their successes but also for their spirit, you know, their sportsmanship.They have been named the MVP many times, which made them real legends in my eyes. The NBA is a legend, too. No doubt about it. Coz it's so successful in terms of making money. And more importantly, it's so entertaining. I hope more NBA players will come over to China and show us their amazing basketball tricks.
