In order not to let the biggest enemy in the Asian arena, the South Korean team, naturalize Rukawa Kaede, the Japanese Basketball Association took the initiative unprecedentedly, and it was very serious and very carefully prepared to "recruit" Rukawa Kaede.

It's like that sentence: I'm about to lose, but I know to cherish it~!!

However, the Japanese Basketball Association is still more attentive, and they sent a letter to him through Rukawa Kaede's agency.

It shows in detail the preparation of the Japanese Basketball Association for the establishment of a new national team.

If the Japanese Basketball Association and the Korean Basketball Association are regarded as the two sides of the war, then the letter from the Japanese Basketball Association is like a war book on how to attack the Korean Basketball Association~~

Rukawa Kaede now has only two choices, accept the battle book and return to the Japanese team, or else, it is to complete an atypical "anti-intrigue plan" and dedicate the war book to the Korean Basketball Association.

But I believe Rukawa Kaede won't do the latter.

And the Japanese basketball team has created a set: Masashi Kawada - Makishenichi - Akira Sendo - Nobukae Ishii - Kaede Rukawa, such a lineup is enough to see their serious attitude towards this preparation.

"I believe that such a lineup will definitely be able to make a certain difference in the Asian arena, and our existing talents should be the best batch in the past 20 years~!! Of course, in the end, the determination of the overall lineup is still led by you, we still have a lot of excellent players to choose from, your former champion-winning teammates Takano Thunder and Aikawa Hikoka, your finals opponent Hara Wolf, Nakariwan, etc., etc., we have too many goals to choose from, based on your understanding of them on the field, I also believe that we can form a set of the strongest national team in history, a national team that can win the Asian championship~!!"

The content of the letter became more and more exciting, and Rukawa Kaede's slightly changing expression proved everything from some indifference at the beginning to a small excitement later.

"Although I can't understand the specific meaning of what they wrote, I can feel that you are seriously thinking about it~~"

Katori looks like he can already read Rukawa Kaede's heart.

"Can you give me some advice~??"

Rukawa Kaede asked suddenly.

"Me~??My suggestion~??"

Katori seems to have a somewhat flattered feeling.

"Yes, your advice is the most important thing for me right now~!!"

Rukawa Kaede said with a smile.

"Don't be kidding, I can't make such a big decision for you, you still have to do it yourself~!!"

Katori also said shyly.

"It's okay, I just want to hear it, how do you feel~??"

Rukawa Kaede continued to ask.

"Do I feel, I think, in fact, you have always had an answer in your heart, although I don't know which one, but you have always had, because this is analyzed from your character, this kind of character is like this, it is so obvious, you will not say it, but you will definitely show it in the way of action~!!"

Katori analyzes it.

"Haha~~Haha~~Haha~~"

Rukawa Kaede tilted his head and smiled, a very happy kind of smile~~

It seems that in Rukawa Kaede's smile, it has been proved that Katori's answer is that Rukawa Kaede is very satisfied with ~~

Indeed, as Katori said, looking back on the previous decisions of Rukawa Kaede, all of them were decisions without warning.

Although there is no warning on the surface, in fact, Rukawa Kaede has already been prepared, but the time has not come, and Rukawa Kaede is unwilling to reveal it~~

Maybe this time, Rukawa Kaede will also adopt such a strategy~~

Sure enough, after receiving the "invitation letter" from the basketball associations of two different countries, Rukawa Kaede has remained silent, and this silence can be seen as a kind of behavior of Rukawa Kaede "I don't want to offend people right away"~~

Even so, the Japanese Basketball Association and the Korean Basketball Association will not give up, and it seems that the "Battle for Rukawa Kaede" has just begun~~

The Japanese Basketball Association is trying to find a way to summon Rukawa Kaede back, while actually carrying out their "operation", because a national team cannot be composed of only five people, and if you want to form a national team with a large cycle, long-term plan, and a certain degree of flexibility, you must have a planned formation of multiple teams.

Only by focusing on the existing top players, supplemented by high-quality players with distinctive characteristics, and building a team in the direction of the development goal of young and talented new generation players, can we build a long-term competitive team.

And for naturalization like this, the national team, at least the initial national training team, must also recruit at least a group of 50 people.

Considering the actual situation, for the Japanese men's basketball team, the 30-person training squad is still enough~~

And the league is the best stage for the Japanese Basketball Association to examine players.

Here they can not only look at the state of those superstars, but also those new generation players, which have the qualifications to enter the national team, which is very important~~

It is the best opportunity for the league to reach the All-Star Game, and it is the best opportunity to discover the qualifications of those potential players through various individual competitions~~

The three-point shooter they're looking for, the dribbler in the backcourt, and the physical bouncy guy are all good factors for the national team.

At present, the Sapporo All-Star Game is a very good stage~~

As the host, Shuai Asano, who is preparing to participate in the Slam Dunk Contest, also hopes to use this opportunity to prove himself and knock on the door of the national team.

"How's the preparation for the slam dunk contest~??"

In the gym of the training hall of the dragon team, Asano Shuai's teammates may become helpers in the slam dunk contest in the future, and Matsuyama Akiyuki, who may be selected for the national training team, looked at Asano Shuai who was skipping rope and asked.

"Of course, it's all ready, I can't wait~!!"

Asano Shuai said while jumping rope.

"So, can you reveal a few actions~??"

Matsuyama Akiyuki continued to ask.

"Haha, this, it depends on the specific situation, anyway, I will never tell you now, except for the ball that you cooperated with me, the rest, I really can only keep it secret~~"

Asano Shuai smiled, stopped the pace of skipping rope, and said.

It seems that Shuai Asano wants to keep his "secret moves" until the end.

"Could it be the inspiration you thought of in the most memorable slam dunk contest you said before~??"

Matsuyama's reaction was quick, and he rolled his eyes and guessed.

"Guess, haha, I can't guess, just wait until now, but what I can tell you first is that don't be surprised, because this is a slam dunk that no one has ever done before~!!"

Asano Shuai continued to sell Guanzi.

"In other words, what you want to challenge is a slam dunk that no one has ever completed~??"

Matsuyama continued to question.

"That's right, as long as I can finish it, I will definitely win the championship~!!"

Asano Shuai said in a confident tone.

"Maybe, I'll name this slam dunk after me, hahaha~!!"

While thinking about that action, Asano Shuai fantasized about it~~, and seemed to have imagined the picture of himself winning the championship, and smirked.

"Okay, it doesn't matter, since you're so sure, just let it be, just don't be like Sakuragi Hanamichi that year, give away the championship that has already been in hand, it makes people feel aggrieved when they look at it~~"
