Chapter 1002 Chasing dreams in a new era will be even more exciting
There are many "cases" of people like Mitsui Shou, who retired due to injuries at a young age, and returned to the basketball court after a long period of rehabilitation.
Brandon Roy, the star of the Trail Blazers who was known as the "Yellow Mamba", retired early after a few seasons due to a serious knee injury.
Roy was the second best defender in the West after Kobe Bryant that year, and he was nicknamed "Yellow Mamba", which can be seen.
After battling injuries for a long time, Roy, who did not want to be defeated by fate, chose to make a comeback and joined the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Although after his comeback, due to injuries and reduced athletic ability, he rarely had a highlight performance, and it was difficult to regain the courage of the year, but Roy told the world with practical actions, and also told himself that people should not be defeated by fate.
This is perhaps the truth in the story of Roy's comeback that is worth remembering more than on the basketball court.
Similarly, Mitsui Shou is the same, although there have been hesitations and family blocks, but Mitsui just wants to be himself and be his true self.
None of them will be winners on the basketball court anymore, but they are all winners in life, and they are masters of their destiny, not by their destiny.
They have left behind such inspirational stories to illuminate the path of future generations.
The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry.
Roy's story has come to an end, and our Mitsui's inspirational journey has just begun.
"Mitsui~!! Mitsui~!! Mitsui~!! Mitsui~!! ”
After the start of Mitsui's debut, the fans at the scene really shouted Mitsui's name in unison, and they came to buy tickets to see Mitsui's ~~
"Yay~!!!!!"
With the louder cheers in the Nissan arena, Mitsui Shou, who was called on the bench, slowly took off his coat and trotted to the substitution area, the feeling was like the feeling of a rookie going to play for the first time.
However, for the rest of the first quarter, Mitsui did not score, but there were a few shots of receiving the ball, but they were all passed out~~
As soon as the second quarter came up, Mitsui still stayed on the field, and it seemed that Mitsui's physical fitness was quite good~~
"Bell~!!!"
"The outside three-point basket jumped out, Miyagi judged the correct position of the rebound, grabbed the rebound, and directly pushed the fast break, which is the Mariners' favorite rhythm~!!"
Miyagi was like an inside line to kill, attracting the bags of several players, Miyagi saw a teammate in a white uniform near the bottom line, and passed it directly ~~
"It's Mitsui~!!"
Mitsui moves a few steps horizontally, receives the ball, a very comfortable rhythm, aims at the basket, squats, power from the toes, and its delicate posture ~~~
There is no one in front of the defense, but there are some small drifting empty three-point shots~!!
This is also Mitsui's first shot in this game~!!
Watching the ball fly to the basket, fans stretched out their arms in advance, ready to celebrate~~
"Brush~!!!"
With a crisp and pleasant voice coming, Mitsui lived up to the trust of the fans, just like what Mitsui has been doing all the way, he has been making all the preparations~~
After five years, Mitsui shot again, hollow three-pointer, Mitsui may start with this goal and redefine the concept of "marksman".
No matter how long it takes, no matter what happens, the ball is given to me, it is in~!!
"Yay~!!!!!"
Fans seem to be as excited as they saw Mitsui throw into the whistle lore, and the Nissan Arena is extremely hot~~
Mitsui was still calm, raising his fist in his right hand in celebration, this wonderful and legendary goal.
"Wow~!! Mitsui~!! It's handsome~!! ”
Miyagi shouted excitedly like a little fan.
In the following game, Mitsui also played well, although he also missed some shots, but the fans were already very content with Mitsui being on the court~~
In the end, Mitsui's comeback battle scored 8 points, and the team's victory or defeat obviously didn't matter, Mitsui was able to show that he was still capable of standing on this stage, and he was already successful.
"For five years, I haven't given up training, I haven't dispelled the idea of coming back, although I became a coach, haha, but it's not a conflict, I want to set an example for the young players and let them know that the charm of basketball, in short, it's so good to be back on the court, I love here, I love Kanagawa, I love everyone here, thank you~!!"
After the game, when Mitsui was interviewed, he couldn't hide his excitement and said.
Because it's a feeling that hasn't been felt in five years.
It's like a blind man seeing the light of day again, and a deaf person regaining his hearing~~
The Mariners' final game of the season, and the last game of Mitsui's ten-day contract, was away to Tokyo Jaws, who had already won the regular season.
This time, Mitsui started the game.
"Yay~!!!!"
"Bang Bang Bang ~ !!"
The Dome Stadium also had a standing ovation, cheers and greetings from the fans.
When Mitsui Shou decided to make a comeback, its significance had already surpassed the victory or defeat of basketball~~
Mitsui's form is getting better and better, and he scored 16 points in the game, and although he lost, Mitsui did what he wanted to do.
"You are the pride of our basketball people, I am proud to have coached you, really, child, you are amazing, if there are any difficulties in the coaching process in the future, find me, I also hope that you can join my team, of course, I hope to continue to watch you stage such a legendary story~!! Come on~!! ”
After the game, Mitsui's former head coach in the Jaguar team, Oki and Mitsui hugged each other tightly, and Oki's words were very practical and full of love.
"Come on, Mr. Oki, lead a team to win the championship, you can do this, I know, you are the best coach here, thank you, really, thank you very much~!!"
Mitsui moistened his eyes and said in Coach Oki's ear.
If it weren't for Coach Ohki's insistence on letting Mitsui check his body and let him truce, maybe Mitsui wouldn't have known about his cerebral congestion and bleeding point.
When Mitsui retired, Coach Ohki also gave the greatest support.
If Coach Anzai is Mitsui's Bole who re-entered basketball, then Coach Oki is Mitsui's Bole who has adhered to the basketball path for so many years.
Mitsui's No. 14 back gradually disappeared into the player's tunnel of the Dome, as if it was as bland as ever.
Mitsui is a low-key person, he may not want to over-consume his feelings, just like Mitsui himself said, he just wants his players to know that the purpose of playing basketball and proving to himself is still a "slam dunk master".
I don't know if I will see this stubborn "No. 14" again, but the story of "No. 14" will be sung forever.
Thank you, real man, Mitsui Kotobuki.
When it came to the playoffs, although Mitsui no longer appeared, his words to Coach Ohki became the truth that influenced the playoffs.
Coach Oki led the invincible Great White Shark and swept a thousand troops in the playoffs, the original Armored Wolf, Takano Thunder and Miura Fei found their rhythm, and in this playoffs without Rukawa Kaede, the Great White Shark incarnated as the division of champions~~
"We have created a new era, which will be even more exciting~!!"
