In the summer of 1996, Michael Jordan's transfer news was bombarding the sports world.
But the sports world still belonged to the Olympics.
Roger, though not a participant, still watched a few games and made his presence felt. After all, the event was held in the United States, which was very convenient.
Roger watched the game between the Chinese Team and the Dream Team, witnessing the young upstart bloodying Grant Hill and Liu Yudong clinching 13 of the team's 28 points in the first half.
Although the final result was a terrible loss, the thought of the men's basketball team in the 2023 World Cup... actually made Roger quite content!
At the end of the match, the live camera cut to Roger in the stands, and then to Wang Zhizhi.
Steve Jones, who was commenting on the match, believed, "Wang Zhizhi will be the second world-class player from China after Roger, we shall wait and see."
