Jeremy Lin visits Adidas Sports Base in HK

Basketball superstar Jeremy Lin flew into Hong Kong to add a special touch to the opening of the Adidas Sports Base at the Central Harbour-front event space. The opening of the Sports Base is timed to coincide with the “Boost Your Summer 2015” campaign which will run in Hong Kong for the next several weeks.

Lin was taught a bit of Yoga by singer Alex Lam. Actress Rose Chan taught him some Kung Fu and singer Fiona Sit was given some tips on ball bouncing and handling exercises by Lin. Aspiring basketball players and current Hong Kong team members were given instruction on special basketball moves to improve their game.

The Sports Base will host a diversified range of sports until early August, including football, basketball, running, yoga and physical challenges. The “Adidas Cup 2015″ is adopting 4-a-side football format with boys and girls age categories as well as a men’s open category. The Adidas basketball, “Streetball Challenge 2015″ is a 3-a-side game aimed at sharpening physical, mental and tactical skills. In addition to the ball games there will be men and women’s training sessions, including yoga for women and repetitive circuit training for men.
