Chapter 50: The Opening Battle, Full of Confidence!
After a not-so-long offseason, the new JBA season is about to officially begin.
In the offseason, the JBA Organizing Committee's Development Committee proposed to increase the number of existing teams and did some research on some teams with such qualifications, but these teams who wanted to join the JBA league were very constrained.
One is that the league in which these teams play is Japan's second-tier basketball league (JSBA, Japan, second, basketball, association) has regular operations, but it is difficult to meet the standards of playing JBA games in terms of financial resources and ability.
The second is that if these teams join the JBA league, then the corresponding JSBA teams will also be reduced, which is what the JSBA does not want to see, so the JSBA's non-release also makes the JBA's expansion plan temporarily shelved.
But there is also a certain role in promoting, such as the JBA expansion plan came out, some of the more powerful, and hope to have a JBA team consortium have inquired about the market, if you can't buy the existing JBA team, first buy an inexpensive JSBA team, in the strength of the reinforcement, once the opportunity to enter the JBA league, that is a success!
So, this season, there are still only 10 teams participating in the JBA, but next season, it really can't be said!
Returning to the tournament itself, there will be two matches on the first matchday of the new JBA season, the first of which will be the opener, with last season's champion Kagoshima Antlers playing at home against this year's champion Kazunari Fukatsu, and the other being our Jaguar team Sakuragi taking on Nagoya Ninja at home.
The first game to start, the antlers at home bloodless, with a 121::89 victory over the Aomori green python, the antlers star Mu Shen is in a hot state, in the case of only three quarters, he cut 38 points, it seems that the defending champion did not win the championship and relaxed, but the more brave the battle, it seems that this year's antlers will be the favorite to win the championship.
The JBA debut of the new champion Kazunari Fukatsu was mediocre, playing 28 minutes and 32 seconds, 1 of 5 shots, no three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, only 5 points, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 rebound.
"In the case of playing 28 minutes, there are only 5 shots, you can see that the characteristics of this player, just like the analysis of experts in the previous draft, Fukatsu has never been a player who focuses on shooting on the offensive end, creating opportunities for his teammates, which is what he is most willing to do, so this green python team, if there is no excellent shooter, or scoring master, only one Fukatsu, is obviously not enough, and becoming a playoff team is just empty talk. “
The commentator of the TV station also analyzed the Green Python team from the side of Fukatsu's debut performance, indeed, this young team still has a long way to go.
As a young team, the Jaguar team, which has also undergone a long rebuild, has been formed by selecting players year by year, hoping to become a playoff-caliber team this season.
The first game of the new season, and the first home game, the Jaguars wanted to show off the results of their offseason training and give all fans a refreshing feeling.
"As we all know, in the preseason last season, it was a serious physical conflict between the two teams during the game, which led to the suspension of Jaguar team's big forward Sakuragi Hanamichi, and the inside player of the ninja team, Takano Thunder, was directly injured and stopped, and it took nearly half a season to come back, so when the two teams meet again, the smell of gunpowder will naturally be very strong, and the highlights are needless to say. “
The commentator is also warming up for the upcoming game, which is the first game of the new season for both sides, and they both want to get off to a good start!
"Sakuragi, you must control your emotions, the other party may have a lot of small actions, but you must refrain from appealing to the referee in time, and remember not to be rash. ”
In the locker room of the Jaguar team, Coach Oki is like a military officer, making the final deployment for Sakuragi, and with the last lesson, I believe that Coach Oki will be prepared, even if he can't win the game, he will not let Sakuragi ban again.
"Don't worry, coach, I'll only talk with my actions tonight!"
Sakuragi's eyes were quite determined, and when he clenched his fists, he heard the sound of rattling joints.
Such words actually came out of Sakuragi's mouth, which really made the teammates and coaches present a little unbelievable, and after everyone was silent for a long time, Coach Oki said: "Okay, since Sakuragi is ready, then let's go on the field and strive to win the first home victory!"
"Good~~~!"
Encouraged by Coach Ohki, everyone raised their arms and shouted, left the locker room, and prepared to go!
"Are you ready!!
The host of the Jaguar team's home pump center shouted loudly, driving the emotions of the fans on the spot, and the atmosphere in the stadium naturally needless to say about the first home game of the new season.
There is no change in the starting lineup of the Jaguar team, and it is still the same Xiangbei Five Tigers that were used last season,,,!
"However, have you noticed, I don't know if it's a mistake in the backstage, or if it's true, on the Jaguar team's starting list, Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou swapped positions, with Rukawa Kaede playing small forward and Mitsui playing scoring guard!"
The TV station's commentary saw the clues, and it seems that Coach Ohki's change is still conservative and successful, and the outside world has not yet figured out whether it was the staff's mistake and the wrong position, or whether it was true.
There's also a slight change to the ninja starting lineup over there.
Kochi Tamaki, the team's main scoring guard last season, disappeared from the starting lineup and was replaced by this year's rookie player, Rihei Takeuchi, who was drafted by the ninjas.
"It is precisely because of Takeuchi Rihei's performance in offseason training, and some warm-up games, that the team decided to focus on training, so the original scoring guard Tamaki Kochi was traded to the Sendai Wanderers, this game is also a test for Takeuchi, and also to see what the vision of the ninja team management is, as the game deepens, we will slowly introduce this rookie. ”
From the commentator's analysis, it can be concluded that both teams have changed from last season, and it depends on who can get better out of these two teams that actively seek change!
The game starts right away.
"You don't have protective gear!"
Sakuragi shook hands with the ninja team's starters, and dropped a sentence as he got to Takano's side.
"Hmph, if you're not afraid of being sent out and banned, you can try it!"
Takano Thunder also responded with a cruel word.
Akagi and Ninja Center Odjed stand on either side of the halfway line, ready to jump the ball.
"Smack!" Akagi was very focused, and his reaction time was very short, and he quickly slapped the ball that was about to fall to his own half.
The Jaguar team won possession and started the first attack of the game!
Miyagi dribbled the ball past half the court, gestured tactically, and then handed it to Mitsui, who stepped forward to ask for the ball.
"It seems that it is not a misunderstanding, the Jaguar team did change the position of Rukawa Kaede and Mitsui Shou, as soon as Mitsui came up, he went to receive the ball like a defender, this is a signal, it seems that this is all a new name made by that guy from Oki!"
Ninja team head coach Minami Moriyo said when he saw Jaguar's transfer ball, it seems that the Jaguar team wants to try this new style of play.
Mitsui catches the ball, tentative step, complete guard action, suddenly accelerates to start, and kills inside, Takeuchi, who defends Mitsui, is a rookie after all, and it is the first game, more or less nervous, and is directly passed by Mitsui.
Burst to the inside, Mitsui feigned a layup, but took the ball down!
"It's a pass!"
Defender Ishii Nobufu judged Mitsui's intentions and reminded the players, but it seemed too late.
Mitsui's ball was given to Rukawa Kaede under the empty cut basket, seeing that Odje had been shaken up by Mitsui, Rukawa Kaede took the ball and stepped forward with a two-handed gravity slam dunk!
"Yay~~~!!"
The audience may not have expected that the first goal of the new season would come so quickly!
(Originally, the next words should have been written in the author's words, if it was a tribute to him, why so much restraint!)
Kobe, he has never been the author's favorite star, never, whenever I think of the seven battles with the Rockets, I want to say why can't I get rid of this guy, in the dark, Kobe has become a god that cannot be defeated in people's hearts!
Kobe Bryant is the author's most admired star, maybe one of them, but that is Kobe, when he played a three-point game against the Heat, the author witnessed it with his own eyes, after reading it, the author ran directly to the basketball court near his home, even if it had just rained, the author still wanted to imitate Kobe, wanted to make his actions, this is the impact, basketball has made Kobe, and Kobe Bryant has also made basketball more charming!
I have never witnessed the Jordan era, and I was fortunate enough to participate in Kobe.
This is Kobe Bryant, he may not be every fan's favorite, but when he leaves, every fan is chasing you, 20 years, enough, 20 years, thank you for having you, to borrow a sentence from netizens: Kobe, you are a man who beats sports news.
The author's words: "Kobe, I can't bear you!"
