Chapter 377: Meet one by one
After the ups and downs of the finals, the offseason is coming again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although there is still nearly a month before the door of free agency opens, it seems that this year's offseason is quite lively.
Not only because of the presence of powerful players such as Nakazato and Kiyota Nobunaga, but also because of the presence of top superstars such as Eiji Sawakita and Sakuragi Hanamichi Kaede Rukawa.
However, because of various objectivity, the first two top superstars don't seem to be testing the free market, only Rukawa Kaede has the greatest hope.
The Tokyo great white shark was the first to throw an olive branch to Rukawa Kaede, and I don't know if the third invitation can influence Rukawa Kaede.
Another team that cares about Kaede Rukawa is the Rovers.
Maybe this team is really a superstarless and inactive existence.
Although they also have the most delicate center in the league, Shogun Taro.
They also have a forward with great potential, Yohei Mito, and they also have a point guard known as "Kobe Bryant" - Nakasawa Nagaken.
But with these people, it is difficult to challenge for the final championship.
Similar to the situation of the Great White Shark, the Rover already has a group of cadres, but it lacks a commander like Akira Sendo.
Whether Rukawa Kaede will take over this mantle can only wait and see.
Some people may ask, if Rukawa Kaede signs with the Rover, will Sendo still return to the team?
Then I can only tell you that Akira Sendo is a scoring guard, and Kaede Rukawa is a small forward.
Another one who is actively chasing Rukawa Kaede, and has a certain chance, is the Osaka Iron Horse Team.
Because the contract of the team's star Zhong Levan expired, the Iron Horse team has enough salary space, and there is also the recruitment of old teammate Mu Mu, although the latter has not yet renewed his contract, but it is basically a sure thing.
In addition, Osaka is also a big ball city, and although it is not as generous as Tokyo, it is still much stronger than Kobe.
In this increasingly commercialized league, superstars are often tied to the big ball market.
The Iron Horse may be a dark horse.
There are also two teams that have been promoted, and they are also eager to try for Rukawa Kaede.
Sapporo Dragons and Mito Electronics.
Both teams also have their own strengths.
The Dragons also have a very good team, and center Naito Tetsuya also played against Sakuragi when he was a student, and the two are relatively familiar.
Known as "Amu II", Oda Linzi's progress is also obvious to all, so this team is not short of talent.
It's just that I don't know if Rukawa Kaede is willing to wait for these talents to be cashed in.
In addition, there is the big market of Sapporo, and I believe that the value of Rukawa Kaede will definitely double with the expansion of the market.
For the Mito Electronics team, their advantage will undoubtedly be the big team behind it, Sony, and the team's combat strength.
In last season's playoffs, the E-team has proven that they are capable of wrestling with the strongest team in the league, and Mori Shigekuan's form seems to be getting better and better, and the future of rookie point guard Hikoka Aikawa is even more limitless.
Their talent can also be said to be worth looking forward to, but it's the same problem as the dragon team, Rukawa Kaede, are you willing to wait for the young birds to mature~??
The last one that can't be forgotten is Kaede Rukawa's old club, the Kobe Jaguar team.
The Jaguar team has already shown enough sincerity to Rukawa Kaede, and they are bent on building a team around Rukawa Kaede, and even do not hesitate to send Sakuragi Hanamichi away, in order to do their best to keep Rukawa Kaede.
Although last season, the team's results were not satisfactory, however, the Jaguar team is still very well-established.
Akagi can also get better, and Miyagi's outside stability can also get better.
The Jaguar team can meet Kaede's salary cap and even any requirements.
It's just that Rukawa Kaede, who has failed in Kobe for six seasons, will he choose to believe here again~??
In any case, these are just at the stage of speculation, and the final decision is still up to Rukawa Kaede, who is on vacation in South Korea, to decide.
And focusing on Rukawa Kaede himself, who is in South Korea, seems to be having a good time, free every day, accompanying his grandmother to walk around the market, walking in the park in the afternoon, and taking a walk after dinner.
Do some chores at home, clean up, pick some fruits from the garden, and occasionally show off your cooking skills.
Lives a fairly laid-back life.
It's two worlds compared to the busy, on-the-go life that goes on the road during the season.
No, while speaking, Rukawa Kaede came to the scene of the opening of a new store in Seoul with the sports brand he endorsed.
Business activities are also an indispensable link.
Rukawa Kaede, who I haven't seen for a long time, has cut her hair short, the scalp seems to be visible on the sideburns on both sides, and the skin is much whiter, the whole person looks more refreshing, more capable, and the muscles should be more developed.
However, everyone doesn't seem to have much interest in Rukawa Kaede and the brand, but the whereabouts of Rukawa Kaede next season have become the focus of media attention.
"There are internal sources revealing that this time you are really ready to test the free agent market, is this true~??"
The first question at the press conference was to hit the nail on the head.
It seems that at the press conference in South Korea, there were still a lot of Japanese media.
"Do you still want to say inside information in front of me~??haha~!!"
Rukawa Kaede seemed to be in a good mood and made a joke with reporters.
"This~~~~ So we want to ask for proof whether this inside information is true or false~~"
The reporter first thought about it awkwardly and replied.
"Inside information, I'm not internal either, I really don't know~~~"
Rukawa Kaede quickly replied.
"But ~~You're not~~"
The reporter wanted to ask again, but Rukawa Kaede was already preparing to listen to other reporters' questions, so this was also halfway through and stopped abruptly.
"When will we inform you that the next step is less than half a month away from the free agent market. ”
The second question was asked by an older male reporter, but the nature of the question has not changed in any way.
"When the time is ripe, I will tell you, thank you for your concern~!!"
Rukawa Kaede finally revealed his intentions.
"The last capture incident, although it has been a long time, but it still seems to be a mystery, for that matter, I want to hear your thoughts~!!"
The third is a female journalist from South Korea, and apparently, for the Korean media, Kaede Rukawa's private life is more attractive than basketball.
"Is this~~~"
Rukawa Kaede hesitated.
Rukawa Kaede knew what the reporter was asking.
Of course, it was the incident that Rukawa Kaede and Katori met by chance in the hotel before, and went to the coffee shop to be secretly photographed.
"This must be a misunderstanding, it's been so long, why bother turning the page again~!!, thank you very much for your concern~!!"
Rukawa Kaede spoke in Korean, which was quite fluent.
It seems that Rukawa Kaede still wants to avoid such topics as much as possible.
After that, several reporters also asked, but Rukawa Kaede was still tight-lipped and didn't reveal much.
The event has basically come to an end.
Just a week after Kaede Rukawa's event, a week before the free agent market opened, Kaede Rukawa made his decision.
"I'll meet each team's ~~~!!!" (To be continued.) )
