Hello everybody, and welcome back to the thrilling game at the Tokyo Dome with the U.S. team. The game with the Japanese national team is going into the second half, 51 to 26. The U.S. Dream Team is made up of NBA veterans-supposedly the best we have to offer-but they need a miracle to dig themselves out of a hole and come back at this point.
     Unfortunately for the Dream Team, their leading scorer, High-Fly Wilson, was ejected one minute into the second quarter after climbing into the stands and fighting with a spectator who had continually heckled Wilson for shooting three airballs in a row. Another bizarre moment came late in the second quarter when the Japanese center, Tomohiro Suzuki, suffered a concussion and was knocked out cold as he collided with the knee of one of his own teammates. There have also been several other injuries, including the loss of starting forward, Masa Harada.
     Some of the coaches on the U.S. team are attributing the team’s sluggish performance to some raw fish they had last night while attending a banquet in their honor. Who knows what’ll be next. OK. It looks like we’re ready for the second half.
