Sun fighting for off-season spot

Los Angeles Lakers' Chinese guard Sun Yue is confident he can gain a spot on the team's NBA playoff list with the help of all-star teammates Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.

"It's my dream to have a chance to compete in the off-season," said Sun during his first experience of watching an all-star game over the weekend. "I will train even harder because I know the chance is also given to those who are fully prepared.

"I also received lots of help from my teammates and I have seen remarkable improvement since joining the team."
