It’s a well known fact that Panathinaikos wants to expand its brand name in China and the next step toward this direction is that the team will travel during Eurobasket to China (11-17 of September) in order to play exhibition games and promote the club in Asia. The tour of Panathinaikos includes stops in Guangzhu, Foshan and Beijing and so far a game against Foshan Long Lions (on the 14 of September). It will be the start of a strategic cooperation between the Greens and Long Lions. Real Madrid will also travel to China on October for an exhibition game under Euroleague’s shield.
Also, on Wednesday night Partizan announced the addition of one more French player in its roster after Lauvergne and Westermann, 19 years old Boris Dallo. The young point guard played last season in French ProA league as a member of Poitiers.
