Chapter 561: Kawada, the Last Covenant~
Tokyo Nikko, a team that has never been seen by fans and media, even uses the university's gymnasium as their home stadium. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although they are in Tokyo, few people know about them and few people pay attention to them.
Because they're in the second league, because they're not interesting.
However, this situation will change dramatically, because of the arrival of one person, this team has become the hottest team in Japanese basketball today.
In the free-agent trade market that has just begun, Eiji Sawai, a guard from Takeshi Ogura and the "last hope of the Japanese defender line", resolutely jumped out of the contract and became a completely unrestricted free agent.
However, Zebei did not enjoy the feeling of being a free agent for too long, nor did he do any "interviews" like Rukawa Kaede.
Instead, he directly brought his agent team to announce his decision, Zebei Eiji joined Tokyo Nikko, the team of the second-tier league, although the specific salary was not announced, but it seems that everyone's focus is not there, everyone wants to know, in the end, what is the reason for Zebei to go to a second-tier league at his best age.
However, when it comes to why Tokyo Nikko signed Eiji Sawakita, it is still necessary to talk about the "expansion plan" a few seasons ago.
The JBA Development Committee has started the expansion plan, which has also activated the market for the second division.
Since the expansion, there have been Sapporo Dragons, Ogura Samurai, and Mito Electronics who have successfully reached the first division.
In particular, the success of the Mito Electronics team has made many well-known Japanese consortia want to try the basketball court.
It is in this environment that Shenke Industrial, Japan's largest timber supplier, officially entered Tokyo Nikko after the end of the second league last season.
The position of Shenke Industry in the wood market is different from that of Sony Group in the electronics industry, Sony still has several competitors in the electronics industry, but Shenke Industry, in the wood industry, has already dominated the world.
Some employees of Shenke often show their status in one sentence: as long as there is the fragrance of trees, there is the smell of Shenke.
It can be seen that Shenke Industry is strong.
With a strong backer like Shenke Industrial, coupled with a unique market like Tokyo, the Nikko team finally straightened up after more than 20 years of silence, although it is still a second-tier league that has not been paid attention to. But their eyes have been set on a higher stage.
And according to rumors, Shenke Industry has also put a lot of effort into transforming the Nikko team, in addition to signing powerful players, they are also in full swing to build new competition venues.
Because the Dome in Tokyo already has a team of Jaws, and the Dome usually has a lot of performances, it is difficult to accommodate another team.
Therefore, it is understandable that Shenke Industry wants to build a new venue.
You can't always play in college~!!
I believe that next season, there will be more eyes on the second league and the Nikko team.
Zebei, which is already a dominant force in the JBA, believes that no one can stop it when it goes to the second-tier league.
And we also have reason to believe that the Nikko team will bring even bigger surprises.
After all, if they want to enter the Jba in the future, it is not enough to have only one Eiji Sawakita.
Therefore, at this time, you will definitely think of Zebei's "good friend" - Masashi Kawada.
This talented boy who has been in the United States for many years seems to have no news.
Could it be that Masashi Kawada agreed to join the Nikko team~!?? that's why Zebei came with him~!??
It seems that such an assumption is still relatively well-founded.
After all, the "agreement" between the two of them back then was to go to a "completely brand-new" team.
The Tokyo Nikko team fully meets the requirements of the two people, and a big market like Tokyo can amplify the value of the players even more.
Maybe in the future, we can see this former "Mountain King Combination" join forces again.
"No, it's such an exaggeration~!!"
After Zebei Rongzhi's team issued a signing notice, Zebei quickly received a large amount of information.
"Who is this~??!!"
Zebei looked at the text message and said in surprise.
"Oh~!!!This must be returned~!!"
Zebei saw one of the text messages and dialed the number as he spoke.
"Hey~!!"
Soon, the call was connected.
"Hey, brother, let me guess first, I'm making a long-distance call, or something else~??!!"
Zebei said.
"Haha, no problem, you can guess it~!!"
The other party replied.
"There's no need to speculate on anything else, just look at how quickly you answer the phone, I know that you're still in the United States, right, my big brother Kawada~!!"
It turned out that Zebei's call was made to his high school teammate, Masashi Kawada.
"Hmph, you kid understands me~~"
Kawada said.
"Haha, of course, if you really come back, don't you call me as soon as possible~?!"
Zebei said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't talk about me, tell me about you, what do you think~!!hmm~??What sunbathing~??That's the second league, shouldn't you really be degenerate~???"
Kawada asked.
"How can there be~??!! how could I fall, this is a deliberate decision of mine~!! Also, that's called Team Sunlight~!!"
Zebei responded.
"Oh~??!! thoughtful~??!! then why didn't you say hello to me in advance~??"
Kawada also asked rhetorically.
"I think you'll promise me~!!So, what else do you ask??"
Zebei said with confidence.
"Cut, whoever told you I will definitely agree~ ??!! In that kind of low-level league, it will only reduce your competitive state, lower your fighting spirit, and reduce your ability~!!"
Kawada retorted.
"Kawada, this thing will definitely not develop as you imagined~!!"
Zebei also can't agree with Kawada's words.
"It must be, the second-tier league is all participated in by some semi-amateur players, how can you stay competitive, it's just a joke~??!!"
Kawada retorted again.
"You listen to me, Kawada, the reason why I chose the Nikko team, a second-tier league team, is the direction of their development, last season the Mito electronic team sprung up, not only the joining of Rukawa Kaede, but also the entry of powerful companies, and the Nikko team is the same~??!!"
Zebei explained.
"You want to copy Rukawa Kaede~??!! it's a pity that he didn't go to any second-tier league. ”
Kawada still didn't buy it.
"It's a process, Kawada, believe me, and there's a big market like Tokyo, and my prospects are absolutely bright~!! this is the team built for the two of us~!!"
Zebei became excited as he spoke.
"Hmph, anyway, it's also a second-level league, if the Jba doesn't expand, you will always play in the second-tier league, have you considered the consequences of this~??!!"
Wada's words are also reasonable.
"Okay, speaking of which, then let's make another agreement, if the Nikko team enters the Jba next season, you will come back~!!"
"No problem, if that's the case, I'll join your team, this is another agreement between me and you Zebei, and this is also the last agreement~!!"
