CLIPPERS ARRIVE IN SHANGHAISHANGHAI–It was nearly sunrise by the time the Clippers arrived at their hotel in the Pudong district of Shanghai.
After trekking through security at the airport in Beijing, taking the nearly 3-hour flight, and walking through a practically vacant airport in Shanghai, the team was bussed another 32 miles to the hotel on the banks of the Huangpu River.
What once was considered a small agricultural area, Pudong has grown rapidly over the last two decades, emerging as one of the most cosmopolitan parts of China. The hotel is blocks away from the river with a number of places to shop and dine within walking distance.Friday evening is highlighted by a welcome reception in the hotel ballroom with NBA Commissioner David Stern expected to be in attendance. It will likely be similar to an event in Shanghai in which a traditional Chinese performance was conducted and the teams were introduced on stage after which Del Negro and Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra addressed the crowd.
