Hey, buddy, did you see the mens' final of the FIBA Asia Championship? The Chinese team was so great, finally bringing home the Asian championship title, securing themselves a ticket direct to Rio!
看了看得我老激动了好久没有看到中国队有这么酣畅淋漓的表现了昨天比赛的精彩程度完全不亚于一场NBA季后赛

I saw it, I got quite over-excited watching it, it's been so long since I've seen the Chinese team playing with such abandon and effort. Yesterday's match was the equal of an NBA playoff.
只可惜现在还是NBA的休赛期都没有正式比赛看无聊了只能去翻翻上赛季比赛的录像望梅止渴一下

It's just a pity that it is the NBA off-season and there's no official games to watch, so when bored, one can only look through recordings of matches from the previous season, to stem the hunger.
对了说到上赛季的比赛我记忆犹新的还是西部半决赛休斯敦火箭队和洛杉矶快船队的那一轮季后赛

Yes, talking of the previous season, the Western Conference semifinals are still fresh in my memory, the postseason series of matches between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Clippers.
