CGTN Sports Talk EP17 First week of NBA.mp3

00:00

It has been a week since the 2020-21 NBA season began. Many teams have gone through quite some changes during the offseason. Has their work led to any progress? Were there any surprises?

Strong champion candidates like the Lakers, the Clippers and the Bucks all went through some bumps; those who target the MVP award like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic are dealing with their own difficulties; James Harden, who saw his reputation hurt badly in the last two months, returned to be as impressive as he has always been on the court.
