Chapter 249: The Thirteenth Team

The arrival of the offseason also means that the door to the free agent market is open, and this is the best opportunity for free agents to play themselves and change their destiny. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, for some free agents who have reached a verbal contract renewal agreement with their parent team, it is only a matter of time before they renew their contracts~~.

New recruits such as the Sapporo Dragons and Samurai Ogura are also renewing their rookie players quickly, and for them, young players with potential are extremely valuable.

And teams like Hokkaido Lavender and Sado Island Koei are also willing to keep the big names in the team on contracts with almost maximum salaries.

In this offseason when there are more wolves and less meat, I am really reluctant to let the child not be able to trap the wolf.

As the Fukuyama Flying Wave with the most expiring contracts this offseason, all four of their starting lineup have expired their contracts except for Mu Dugongyan.

This situation is the most worrying for the team's top management, once something happens, the Flying Waves team will directly lose the entire starting lineup.

However, the renewal process of the Flying Waves team is relatively smooth, because this lineup is still the core lineup of the previous championship year, although the age structure is indeed a little older, but for the team, at least in the last two years, with this lineup, there is still a chance to attack the championship again.

And the first to complete the contract renewal is of course the core Fujima Kenji, 4 years and 22.5 million maximum salary contract so that Fuji Zhen can stay in Fukuyama with peace of mind, last season averaged 22.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 6.8 assists per game Fuji Zhen, although with the increase in age and injuries, not as fierce as in previous years, but coconut oil 8 years old, he is still in the prime of his career, if he can take care of injuries and adjust his condition, Fuji Zhen is still one of the top guards in the league.

Immediately after Fujima completed the contract extension, two interior players, Takasato Watanabe and Swift.

The two signed contracts of 3.5 million for 2 years and 3 million for 1 year respectively.

The two inside lines were not given a long-term contract, and considering the age of the two at 32 and 35 years old, the state is a big problem.

Signing a short-term contract also gives the Waves more flexibility in their follow-up operations.

And the remaining Fujiwara Takugawa is the biggest problem encountered by the Flying Waves in this contract renewal process.

Because of his dissatisfaction with his status in the team, Fujiwara also wants a top salary, but the Flying Waves team doesn't have so much to pay, and there are lessons like the Aomori Green Python team, although Fujiwara's performance has always been so stable, 27 years old. It is also the prime of his career, but if he wants to ask for the maximum salary, he still needs to be convincing, last season with 12.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game, obviously such data is not convincing enough.

After that, Fujiwara's team still chose to give in and accepted a two-year, 7.8 million contract.

At this point, the Flying Waves team has finally completed the renewal of all free agents, and the four main players have all returned to the team.

Next season's Flying Waves team is still quite promising.

The rest of the teams have also signed their free agents.

In general, this year's free market is not very exciting, there are no amazing transfers and signings, everyone is back to their teams step by step, perhaps, the free market in the season is the focus of everyone's competition~~!!

The teams here are in an uproar because of the contract renewal, and the JBA league headquarters over there is not idle, just a month and a half after the offseason, the JBA league committee suddenly announced that the thirteenth team of the JBA is about to be born~!!!

The JBA's expansion plan has been in the works for a long time.

Three years ago, the JBA expanded its ranks with four teams competing for two spots, and finally the Sapporo Dragons and Samurai Ogura defeated Yokohama Mariner and Mito Victory to make it to the JBA.

However, after three years of investigation, it is not difficult to find that whether it is the samurai team or the dragon team with Eiji Zebei, the results have never been able to make a breakthrough, and their games are basically one-sided.

In the first year, because they were rookies, the home attendance of the two teams was relatively good, but since then it has deteriorated, and the team's operation has encountered big problems.

There are even signs of losses.

This situation also makes the JBA's development committee feel a little uneasy, if it is just a blind expansion of the army, forcibly increase the number of games, once the quality of the game is not guaranteed, fans do not buy it, it is equivalent to smashing their own signboard.

Rather than this, it is better to let those teams who want to come to the JBA feel at ease to develop their strength and talent pool in the second league.

Otherwise, there will be more dragons and samurai teams.

Therefore, in recent years, the military expansion plan has been shelved.

But in fact, it has not been put on hold, but the development committee is carrying out detailed investigation and judgment, and such a process often takes a long time.

"Based on the previous situation and some of the experiences we have summed up, this expansion can no longer pursue quantity, but must pursue quality~!!"

JBA President Ryuichi Hashimoto said in a previous press conference about the military expansion.

Indeed, as the president said, even if there are 10 more teams, the ability of the players is not up to the overall level of the JBA, which is to make the level of the entire league go downhill.

So in this context, after three years, the army has been expanded again, and only one team has been added.

I believe that this team has also been tested enough, and it has been decided after layers of investigation and discussion.

Soon after, the JBA held a press conference for the thirteenth team in history.

"Now, on behalf of the JBA Federation, please allow me to warmly welcome our new member, the thirteenth team - Mito Electronics~!!!"

The president said proudly.

Then a pattern appeared on the big screen, only to see a basketball, covered with a very bright blue-green lightning bolt logo, as if the basketball had been split.

This should be the logo of the new team.

With the unveiling of the team name and team emblem, the thirteenth team finally unveiled its mystery.

Mito Electronics!?? isn't the name familiar!!

What does he have to do with Mito Victory, who failed to attack the JBA before!??

It turns out that it's like Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Jaws.

The current Mito Electronics team is the previous Mito Victory Team.

Because of the previous failure to impact the JBA, a local company in Mito, which owned all the shares of the victory team at that time, was disappointed, and with the economic recession, the team was difficult to impact the JBA, and the shareholders of the team had the intention of selling the team, and at this time, there was a very powerful company willing to accept the victory team, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and the shareholders of the victory team sold all the shares of the team to the shareholders of the current electronic team.

With the official change of the leader, the team name and benchmarking and other logos have also been changed.

After the new shareholders moved in, the team has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes, not to mention the rest, the investment of funds alone is more than 5 times that of the previous shareholders.

As for why it is called the Mito Electronics Team, the name of the team also reflects the biggest feature of the new shareholder company, which is the world's top 500 company - Sony. (To be continued.) )
