Chapter 954: The Capital of Chiba
"A fool will have a thousand thoughts, and there will be a gain", "A wise man will have a thousand thoughts, and there will be a mistake".
This sentence is really suitable for the management of today's electronic team.
As the management of a team, the management led by the Sony Group has already achieved the feat of defending two consecutive titles in the JBA after five years after taking over a team in the second division.
It took five years for Sony to do what most teams failed to do in 10 or even 20 years, or even the next 50 years.
But basketball is still basketball after all, and basketball is not a business field.
Basketball is not something that can be played with absolute capital investment.
The departures of Kaede Rukawa and Thunderbolt Takano in the offseason denied them a chance to complete the great feat of three consecutive championships.
But this does not prevent the defending champion E-team from pursuing good results, which is not at all conflict~~
had to play the "bearded" Sekiya Kohoku and Kitajima Masesei, and the team set sail again.
With backstage support like Sony, there is no need to worry too much about the defending champions.
They are also proving it with practical actions~
Facing the semi-rebuilt Nagoya Ninja at home, the electronic team played very strongly.
After leading the opponent in the first half, the offensive continued in the second half, facing Takenuchi Rihei, and Hikokawa Aikawa's very strong singles mode ~~
Aikawa was not ambiguous, and after getting the ball with his right hand, he directly took a very big step back, completely "separating" himself from Takeuchi.
Takeuchi's emergency stop was urgent, and it was too late to step forward to cover Aichuan again.
Aichuan's super retreat made a lot of space for himself, and he jumped directly on his back while aiming at the basket and throwing the ball~!!
Even though Takeuchi is tall and has long arms, it is difficult to cover a series of movements, and after a series of actions, there is enough space for Waikawa.
"Brush~!!"
The ball made a beautiful arc and brushed over the net.
Aichuan successfully completed a wonderful single~!!
"Left-handed dribbling, unscrupulous killing to the basket, and then an emergency stop, all of this is an illusion, all of this is preparing for the final step back shot after the left hand, hum, it's not bad~~"
Takeuchi sighed as he recalled the whole set of actions of Aikawa.
It can be seen from this goal that Aikawa has made progress, and Aikawa has improved in offensive decisiveness and ability.
This is another reason why the electronic team does not have to be rebuilt.
"Yay~!!!!!!!"
"Papapa~!!!!!!!"
As the crowd at the Sony Center stood up at the end of the game, clapping and cheering, the electronic team had already sealed the victory.
Sekiya scored a game-high 22 points, Kitajima also had 17 points and six rebounds, and Hikokawa had a quasi-triple-double of 19 points, nine rebounds and 12 assists.
Whether it is the newcomers Kohoku Sekiya and Massashi Kitajima, or the true core of the team - the big-eyed cute baby, Hikoka Aikawa, everyone in the team is doing their best to make the defending champions look more like the defending champions.
Even though they are far from the defending champions in terms of quality, none of the "defending champions" will say: we can't win the title.
Under the tutelage of Coach Yushiba, perhaps Aikawa-Sekiya-Kitajima, the new electronic team trio, will make a difference.
The new season has begun, and we will not only be looking at the performances of the superpowers, but also the teams that have undergone major changes, as well as teams like Jaguar, teams with new hopes on the rise.
There's another kind of team, or a team, that he's not the same as the other 15 teams that they've experienced in the offseason.
They don't have superstar departures, they don't have big trades, and they don't have any superstar signings.
But what they did in the offseason seemed to be more important than all the things mentioned above.
In other words, this decision and implementation is the most important fundamental factor in their re-emergence.
They are the Ogura Takeshi who once thought that by winning Eiji Sawakita by signing as the champion, they could get rid of the title of the fish belly team and go to glory.
No, now, it should be called "Chiba Samurai".
Yes, after so many years of ups and downs, the samurai team finally decided to leave Kokura and take a solid step towards the team's rebuild.
However, it should be well explained here that the city where the samurai were previously located, Kokura, was actually abandoned by the government of the time in the last century, and the city regained its name.
And the reason why the samurai chose the name of an abandoned city was because they wanted to pay homage to the city that they no longer owned.
Although Kokura was not a well-known metropolis in the past, and was almost "patronized by the atomic bomb" at one time.
But maybe the management of the samurai, their boss, has a soft spot for that "name"~~
Leaving "Kokura", the samurai team followed the trend of the current alliance and moved closer to the big city and the big market, and found a new place for the samurai to live in Chiba.
Chiba is an important industrial port city in southeastern Honshu, Japan, located on the northeast coast of Tokyo Bay. With an area of 269.8 square kilometers, it is located in the coastal plain of Tokyo Bay, and the Togawa River and its tributary, the Tsugawa River, flow through the urban area. Summers are humid and hot, and winters are dry and snowless.
Even from this very limited information, it can be seen that Chiba is much larger than "Kokura", and much better than Kokura ~~
The big mentioned here is not only the big city, but also the bigger market~~
In fact, the samurai team wants to move to Chiba, and it's not a matter of a day or two.
As early as when Eiji Sawabei left the team, the management felt that it was time to make a change. (Eiji Sawakita and Masashi Kawada both want to go to big cities with big markets, but Kokura, which has obviously been abandoned, is not)
Therefore, in the eyes of the management, even if the team selects a rookie in the future, it will really never come out if the samurai repeat the mistakes of the past like Zebei.
Therefore, the management needs to think carefully and provide a better and bigger platform for the team, which is very crucial~~
The reason why the alliance has not allowed such a "relocation plan" to be produced actually has its own purpose.
After all, the league is a big director, not for a certain team, so the league actually doesn't want the samurai team to leave "Kokura".
Because the team has been there for a certain amount of time, although the team's results are not ideal, the team has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
So, no matter what the reason, it would be a pity for them to lose a team~~
The league wants to keep the balance and wants to keep that not all teams are in big cities, in other words, the league wants their teams to reach a wider audience, reach more people, and attract more viewers and viewers.
However, at the request of the Chiba government and the management of the samurai, and the Chiba government has also made a guarantee, they will cooperate with the samurai in the future and come up with more government funds to build this "new samurai team".
Against this backdrop, the alliance agreed.
After losing Eiji Zebei, the samurai team seems to have finally found a new way out, a new way to success, people are alive, trees are dead, what about the team~!?
