There were quite a few people in the private box, and Old Bass was among them.
Chen Yu greeted everyone before pulling Su Jun over to a corner of the box to sit and chat.
A waiter brought drinks. Su Jun offered a quick "thank you" but didn't rush to start the interview, as the players from both teams were just starting to take the court below.
As Yao Ming made his entrance, the entire arena seemed to erupt. Even through the glass, they could feel the tsunami of cheers.
Yao Ming had fully settled into life with the Lakers. He calmly waved to the fans, then went down the line high-fiving his teammates.
Seeing Yao Ming suddenly reminded Su Jun of something.
"Dr. Chen, you didn't come all this way because of Da Yao, did you?"
In the last game in Portland, Yao Ming was fighting Randolph for a rebound in the paint. He landed first, and Randolph stepped on his foot.
It wasn't a dirty play by Yao Ming; it was just a complete accident.
Randolph was fine; he didn't twist his ankle.
