It was announced several weeks ago that the Denver Nuggets and the Indiana Pacers would be playing an exhibition match in Taipei – on the 8th of October. Now we find that there will also be a game on the 11th of October in Beijing, China.

It will be played in the newly furnished Wukesong Arena – one of the first “NBA-ready” arenas in China. The two teams will travel along with their cheerleading squads and mascots to provide the full NBA experience.

Having attended the  last NBA game that was held in China in 2007 between the Cavs and the Magic – I can say the cheerleaders and the entertainment teams are among the most popular sections of the event for the Chinese. The Denver Nuggets are an exciting team and hopefully the Indiana Pacers will put up a good fight to make-up for the usual lack of intesity these types of matches provide.
