Chapter 1000 The Old Face of a Long Lost Face-Flower-Shaped
With the offseason approaching halfway through, the closer we get to the new season, the more exciting the news will be.
Including the signing of free agents, Rukawa Kaede has announced that he will return to the Jba, so a predictable battle for people will be staged soon~~
There is also a transfer market that has been opened, although there is no wind and waves, but I believe that the "big fish" will go ashore when the wind and waves appear~~
However, these news are nothing at all for fans in Kawasaki and Saitama, because there is one more thing to look forward to and excited about than these~~
That is, Kawasaki and Saitama will most likely have a Jba team next season.
Although the Jba Development and Reform Commission still retains this suspense, I believe that this suspense will not be retained for too long~~
This suspense may be unveiled at the upcoming summary meeting of the Development and Reform Commission.
As he spoke, the summary meeting had begun.
"10 years have passed very quickly, and our first "10-year expansion" plan has helped our alliance grow stronger and more prosperous year by year~!!"
At the very beginning of the summary meeting, the "expansion of the army" was mentioned.
Indeed, at present, the most important task of the Development and Reform Commission is to expand the military, which is also their only task.
"Now the 16 teams in our league are our most important members, and through the expansion plan in the past few years, there are more and more effective teams in the league, such as the Tokyo Rising Sun, they have made history for Japanese basketball, they won the first AFC Champions League, this is the result of the expansion plan~!!There are many other teams, they have made a very great contribution to the development of the league and the revival of Japanese basketball~!!"
The official-looking man continued to speak in a very proud and proud tone.
"As everyone knows, our first ten-year expansion plan, the final realization is 18 teams ~~, now, we are only 2 away from this goal, these two teams, we are very, very serious research, field visits, including the local government made statements and reports, we clearly feel that in the second league, there are such two teams, they are very in line with our requirements, they have been preparing for a lot of time, local fans, also eager for their parents to have a Jba team ~~”
Listening to this official's words, it seems that it is about to be announced~~
"Now, I would like to officially announce to you that these two teams will join the Jba next season~~"
Sure enough~~
"Papapapa~~~"
Seeing this, the media reporters at the scene also took pictures with long guns and short guns.
For them, they are not here to listen to the performance report of the committee, they are here to witness the birth of the 17th and 18th teams.
As the official spoke, the lights from the scene also hit the screen behind the official.
The two lights seem to indicate these two brand-new teams.
"They are ~~, Kawasaki Power and Saitama Dead Leaf Butterfly~!!"
Sure enough, as expected, the two teams with the most competitiveness and financial resources in the second tier league, and the two teams most supported by the local government, have become the final selected teams for the "10-year expansion plan".
As the official spoke, the logos of the two teams appeared on the screen behind him, and the spotlight hit it, shining brightly.
Kawasaki, which is a very developed industrial area, and Kawasaki from Kanagawa Prefecture, became the second team in Kanagawa Prefecture after the Yokohama Marinos.
And the reason why it is called power is because the industrial level of Kawasaki gives the city "power".
Next season, we will be able to see another set of derbies in addition to the "Tokyo Derby" - the "Kanagawa Derby".
And Saitama Dead Leaf Butterfly, like the previous Tokyo Rising Sun, should be regarded as a veteran team in the second league.
In this beautiful forest city, the most important thing is all kinds of insects and all kinds of rare species~~
The Dead Leaf Butterfly, a butterfly with wings like "dead leaves", is one of them.
In fact, long before preparing to run for the Jba team, Saitama and the team had discussed the idea of changing the team name, because compared to those dragons, Jaguars or something, the withered leaf butterfly is too weak and can't help the wind, and it seems that the team feels a little small~~
And there is no shortage of representative objects in Saitama, just replace one, maybe it will be much louder than a butterfly~~
The solicitation of new names for the team also started quickly, and names such as Saitama Sakura, Saitama Falcon, Saitama Athletic, and so on all entered the final shortlist~~
However, the JBA side does not seem to want the name change of the team with a long history in the second division, they need something that is special, and something that people have already remembered.
Obviously, the dead leaf butterfly has lived in people's hearts.
That's it, Saitama withered leaf butterfly, and it has been called like this~
Don't look at the little dead leaf butterfly is weak, but this team is very tough.
That style of play, that kind of team culture, makes people feel more like an army team.
I believe that these two teams will give the league a different feeling and add stronger competitiveness~~
I believe that with two more teams, the competition for the playoffs will be more fierce in any case.
And from the day they were announced to be in the JBA, the two teams were already in the state of "preparing" for the new and first season.
Referring to the previous teams that had just come to the league, such as the Rising Sun and the Electronic Team, they all did not let go of those opportunities to quickly improve their combat effectiveness through crazy recruitment in the previous offseason, or early investment.
In this way, I believe that these two teams will also learn from it~~
Moreover, because of the government's support, the two teams are not "poor".
While talking here, the first to start making moves was the team from Kanagawa - Kawasaki Power.
They found an old acquaintance~~
This old acquaintance, for Jba, is not like this, but for Kanagawa, where Kawasaki is located, it is definitely an old acquaintance.
He has been playing in overseas leagues for many years, and now he is finally back in Jba, the main center of Xiangyang High School that year, and the famous "Tiangou" is a flower-shaped thorough.
This Sven man with glasses finally returned to his country, returned to his hometown, and came to Jba.
In fact, before the Yokohama Mariners just entered the league, the team management had been contacting Hanagata, hoping that he could return to his hometown to play, and fellow countrymen, including Miyagi and Ki Twilight, took the initiative to persuade him.
Even Kenji Fujima, a former high school alumnus, joined in.
However, due to many reasons at the time, including the problem of the contract of the flower shape to, the Mariners were unable to pay the high buyout fee to the old club of the flower shape to, so the Mariners team was not able to succeed after that, although there were efforts to fight for it later, but it has not been successful~~
Moreover, the team's main inside lineman Osamu Aida has already cashed in on some of his talents, so the team slowly dismissed the plan to introduce Hanagata.
This situation also gave the Kawasaki Power Team a chance to come from behind.
Just in time for the expiration of the flowery contract, the contract negotiation between the two teams can be described as a hit and match~~
