Chapter 788: A New Arena

There is still a period of time before the start of the 2014-2015 new season, and all teams are taking advantage of the offseason to strengthen the team~~

Of course, for a team like Jaguar that is "rebuilding", reinforcement means selecting more promising young players with a discerning eye. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

However, dynastic teams like the Rovers from a few years ago are now back, eager to rebuild their dynasty in the new season.

But previous playoff failures have taught them that it's time for the team to make a change and not just eat the old ways.

So, they let go of the champion Afu, and then Afu soon joined the youth army Sapporo Dragons.

The Dragons weren't done yet, they not only signed Afu, but also wanted to make a further deal with the Rover.

That is around Mito Yohei.

In fact, as early as last season, after Yohei had a vicious off-court brawl in the offseason, the team has been very dissatisfied with Yohei's state, and has long wanted to trade him out of the team, but at that time, it was just in time for the return of Xiandao, and the team did not deal with it anymore.

But in the offseason, the Rovers seemed to have made up their minds, and although they exercised the team option for the final year of their Yopei contract, they immediately traded it to the Sapporo Dragons.

In exchange, not only did there be no players, but there were not even draft picks, only some extra cash after being equal to Yangping.

The reason why the Rover has made such a seemingly "loss-making" business is that the team does not want to keep Mito Yohei, although Yohei is still very young, although he used to be the main player during the dynasty period, but don't forget that the Rover bench still has a "cockscomb head" Honda Shiji.

Although Honda's defensive ability may not be as good as Yohei's, Honda's individual scoring ability is definitely top-notch.

When Xiandao was at rest, Honda could continue to attack the team very well~~

Overall, this deal is definitely very suitable for the Dragons, who now have young players such as Tetsuya Naito, Akiyuki Matsuyama and Hayashi Oda, plus the left-handed "bearded" Kohoku Sekiya and the newly introduced Afuku and Mito Yohei, although this lineup looks like a civilian division, but it should be quite passionate~~

And I believe that the experience of Ah Fu and Yohei will help several young players grow faster, and the formation of the Dragons team is indeed going on in an orderly manner year after year, and they are proceeding in their direction~~

However, it will take time to witness what the rover will become next season, after all, the departure of the two main players of the team is still more tricky~~

Fortunately, the team found a very suitable stand-in for Afu - Kyozo Eguchi of the Sado Island Radiance Team.

This big striker, who looks like Mitsui's bad boyhood and has the same hairstyle, is an authentic Sendai person.

Being able to return to his hometown to play can be regarded as a dream of Kyozo Eguchi, in fact, the rover has been paying attention to Kyozo Eguchi for a long time, perhaps it is precisely because of the latter's commitment to join that the rover will give up Afu so easily.

Compared with Afu, Eguchi Keizo has the same excellent interior defensive skills, and Eguchi Keizo also has a certain offensive ability to half-volley, which Afu does not have.

Although Kyozo Eguchi is also 31 years old, he is not too young, but he is at the peak of integrity, and he may be more suitable for the current flâcer than Afu.

In addition to the transfer between players, there is also the renewal of expired contracts~~

First of all, it's the Rover, because last season the team only used a temporary one-year contract when signing Xiandao, who returned temporarily, so in the offseason, the Rover fed Xiandao with an unprecedented super big contract - 5 years and 42.5 million.

This is the highest contract in the whole league at this stage, and it may be seen from this side why Yangping was replaced before and only got cash~~~

However, Xiandao is indeed worth this price code, and it can be seen from the sales of season tickets that there is Xiandao, which is definitely a "cornucopia".

Another powerful Kagoshima Antlers team also recently completed an important contract extension, and they completed a three-year, 16.5 million contract with the team's sharpshooter Ashen.

Previously, Ah Shen also received an invitation from his hometown team, Yokohama Mariners, but Ah Shen was moved and chose to stay.

After all, no one can do it without a trident~~

Then there's the defending champion Mito Electronics.

They adopted a strategy of "adapting to change with the same" in the offseason, with no personnel changes in the team, the championship structure was intact, and they also completed contract extensions with the team's two big men, Tsurashi Takano and Kaede Rukawa.

Because the two people signed only a two-year contract with the team before, because considering the pressure of salary space, the electronic team and the two people still signed a two-year short-term contract, which is 15.5 million for 2 years and 19.6 million for 2 years and Kaede Rukawa.

And both have second-year player options, which shows that the E-team has enough respect for the two bigwigs.

Because this contract is very risky for the team, once the two of them leave at the same time next season, then the electronic team will really "return to the pre-liberation period overnight".

However, I believe that if the electronic team continues to win, no one is willing to leave~~

That's it for the main player renewals~~

There is one more thing that is very important~~

Of course, it's about basketball, but it's not the Jba that Sakuragi plays, it's not the NBA, this time, it's in Asia.

FIBA and the Asian Basketball Association have been discussing and planning for many years, and have prepared for many years of large-scale continental competitions, similar to the European Basketball Champions League, the "Asian Basketball Champions League" was officially established.

FIBA and the Asian Basketball Confederation have taken advantage of the success of the Champions League to move this continental competition between clubs to Asia.

Although there may be long-distance flights and all uncertain new factors, after years of research and discussion, the "Asian Basketball Champions League" has finally become a real event.

This event will become the highest honor between Asian clubs, although there are also national team-level competitions such as the Asian Games and the Asian Championships, but at the club level, this is indeed the highest honor in the whole of Asia~~

Moreover, FIBA and the Asian Basketball Association hold such an event, hoping that clubs from various countries will improve each other and train each other through competitions, enhance their strength, and improve the level of basketball in Asia as a whole.

In terms of the specific competition system, similar to the "AFC Champions League" in football, this "AFC Basketball Championship" also adopts the group stage first, followed by the knockout round, and the final round.

Because there are many countries with inconsistent league schedules, the scheduling of matches becomes an even more difficult problem, if it is concentrated in the summer, many players have to report to the national team, there is no time to play for the club, if it is spread out in the middle of the season, then the team's long journey is bound to be a big problem.

For example, the Tokyo Great White Shark went to New Delhi, India to play, and the distance back and forth may be unimaginable, so in this way, it is likely that many teams will be discouraged and lose interest in the "AFC Champions League".
