For Yao Ming, this home game in Las Vegas carries more pressure than the previous two matches.
When you're on the road, whether you play well or not, the away fans don't care too much because the spotlight is on Gan Guoyang and Jordan.
Especially in the second game in Chicago, Jordan was the absolute main character, and Gan Guoyang willingly gave up the spotlight to him, making Yao Ming seem even more insignificant.
The situation is different for the home opener. Las Vegas fans are eager to see this giant from the East, the so-called heir to Ah Gan, and find out how he measures up.
And with the experience from the first two games, having some NBA game experience, this game should be a chance to show something, perhaps surprise both the live audience and Chinese fans.
Chinese broadcasters also attach great importance to this home opener. CCTV, along with several important sports magazines, newspapers, editors, and reporters, have all come to the casino.
