I was scrolling through my phone at a café in Melbourne when I came across that video of Zeng Fanbo’s post-game interview. You know the one – where he’s standing there in his Nets jersey, that familiar mix of exhaustion and pure joy on his face, talking about playing ‘high-level basketball’ again after his injury.
The video kept buffering – that annoying spinning wheel that every overseas Chinese knows too well. It reminded me of last year’s playoffs, when I’d literally wake up at 3 AM to watch games, only to get hit with the ‘this content is not available in your region’ message. My roommate walked by and saw my frustrated face – ‘Another geo-block?’ he asked, and we both laughed that tired laugh of people who’ve been through this too many times.
But watching Zeng’s genuine happiness took me back. He mentioned feeling ‘blessed’ to play in front of home fans, and I remembered my college days in Beijing, crowding around a tiny screen with classmates to watch Yao Ming’s games. The smell of instant noodles and the collective groans when someone took a bad shot – that was our NBA experience.
Here’s the thing that hit me though: Zeng talked about his ‘ups and downs’ being normal, about not giving up on training and recovery. It struck a chord because that’s exactly how I felt trying to follow Chinese basketball from overseas – constantly dealing with the ups and downs of streaming quality, never giving up on finding ways to watch the games that mattered.
I messaged my cousin in Toronto right after watching that interview. ‘Remember how we used to watch CBA games at grandma’s?’ He replied instantly: ‘Yeah, now I can’t even watch highlights without VPN drama.’ We ended up sharing stories about all the creative ways we’ve tried to bypass restrictions – from asking friends back home to screen share to those sketchy streaming sites that gave my computer viruses.
Zeng said he’s ‘enjoying the happiness basketball brings’ and ‘looking forward to the next game.’ And you know what? That’s exactly how I feel now that I’ve finally found a reliable way to watch these games from overseas. No more missing crucial moments because of buffering, no more settling for grainy highlights the next day.
So here’s my question for you fellow overseas basketball fans: What’s the most frustrating moment you’ve had trying to watch games from abroad? That time your stream cut out during a game-winning shot? Or when you had to rely on text updates because nothing would load? Share your stories below – maybe we can help each other never miss another Zeng Fanbo moment again.
