Intro:

Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors looked ahead on Monday (14 October) to their pre-season contest in Beijing, China

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors Guard (on Warriors upcoming game):
"We've played them once already and they beat us so we owe them one. They don't have Kobe and probably won't for a little bit, but, they have a lot of other talent. They still have Steve Nash, Pau Gasol, guys that have won all their career. So, we have to be ready to go out and compete, but more so, it's just about us working on our system and our execution when we're out there on the court."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Jermaine O'Neal, Golden State Warriors centre (on opportunity to play games overseas):
"The game is okay. Our expectation is to see other cities, to see Beijing and Shanghai. We are probably more excited about that, than the actual game itself, because we play a lot of games. You get an opportunity to go see a place like the great wall yesterday and historical sights that we don't get the opportunity to see a lot."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers Guard (on status of his game):
"Well right now I'm just trying to get healthy. Once I get healthy, I can get out there and start playing, then I can determine what my game is going to become. If I need to make adjustments, where I need to make adjustments, but right now, I'm not really sure."
