Night, at Hu Weidong's home in Los Angeles, Hu's mother went to bed early.
Hu Weidong was sitting alone in the living room, with the lights off, and the 21-inch color TV emitting piercing fluorescent light.
This TV was a gift from Bobby Berman, along with a VCR, hoping Hu Weidong would watch more game footage.
Hu Weidong rarely used it, not because he wasn't diligent, but because he didn't really know how to use the VCR to improve his skills; there was no such condition domestically.
He also rarely watched NBA live broadcasts, not because he wasn't interested, but because as an NBA player, you just don't have time to watch live games on game days.
Tonight, Hu Weidong was deeply attracted by the duel between the Trail Blazers and Bulls, chin resting on his hand on the sofa, eyes never leaving the TV screen.
What impressed him most was not Gan Guoyang because he already knew how amazing Ah Gan was at playing basketball.
