Chapter 254: All eyes on you

September 16 at eight o'clock in the evening, Kanagawa Prefecture. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 INFOThe third warm-up match between the Japanese national team and the Chicago Bulls was held at the Yokohama Municipal Basketball Stadium.

Of the four series of warm-up matches, this one attracted the most attention.

Everyone knows that under the premise that the Bulls attach great importance to it, Long Zheng can defeat the opponent again and win the final victory.

Yokohama City (Yokohama City belongs to Kanagawa Prefecture) is Ryumasa's hometown, and it is no surprise that it is also the base camp of Ryumasa.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Yokohama City, as long as you like basketball, from the old basketball practitioners, to the teenagers who have just come into contact with basketball, they are all die-hard fans of Ryumasa.

Knowing that the dragon was going to fight against the Chicago Bulls, the world's No. 1 basketball team, in his hometown, the Kanagawa Prefectural Basketball Association branch was urgently formed

A cheering group of 1,000 people. At the same time, the long-disappeared Longzheng exclusive cheerleading squad resurfaced, and the number of cheerleaders quickly exceeded the 500 mark.

In order to create a gimmick, but also to cater to the audience, the promotional poster exaggerated against the backdrop of the Norse gods. The huge promotional poster is posted in the most eye-catching position at the entrance of the basketball hall.

On the left side of the poster, the Bulls' stars are incarnated as the Norse gods.

Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball", incarnates Thor, the god of war in Norse mythology, wearing a robe and holding Thor's hammer, standing at the forefront of everyone.

"Batman" Scottie Pippen is Frey, the god of abundance, holding the sword of victory, standing on the right back of Michael Jordan.

"Cobra" Horace Grant incarnates the god of war Tyre, as Michael Jordan's right-hand man, standing on the left rear of Michael Jordan.

Behind the Big Three, center Bill Cartwright is the god of war and point guard John Paxson is the protector Heimdall......

Opposite the bulls, Long Zheng incarnated Odin, the king of the gods, and the Japanese players, as the most loyal guards under the throne, tightly hugged the god king who fought the gods alone -- Long Zheng.

There's no denying that the person who designed this poster is a great talent.

The poster touched the hearts of local fans, but it also angered die-hard Bulls fans who had traveled all the way from the United States.

The game was broadcast live not only from more than a dozen influential TV stations in Japan, but also from the United States to CBS Chicago, a local TV station in Chicago.

......

In the square outside the Yokohama Municipal Basketball Stadium, CBS Chicago reporters interviewed angry Bulls die-hard fans.

Reporter: May I ask, why are you so angry, and it is a mass anger?

Die-hard fan A: If you want to know why we are angry, you can go and check out the promotional posters made by the Japanese.

The TV camera pans to the most prominent spot at the entrance, on the huge propaganda poster.

The hundreds of thousands of American viewers who saw the content of the poster through the TV broadcast were not calm...... How dare these Japanese......

Reporter: I think I already know the reason for your anger.

Die-hard fan B, stepped forward: These ignorant Japanese, how can the Bulls, who defeated the Bulls team just suddenly broke out, are qualified to be named the "King of the Gods", above Jordan and others.

Reporter: Ryuzheng is praised by the Japanese as the "King of the Gods", as a Bull fan, do you hate him for this?

Die-hard fan A: As Bulls fans, we don't. It's no secret that Ryuzheng is incredibly talented, but his roots have always been with the Chicago Bulls. In this year's NBA draft, Long Zhengzhi is on the Bulls, and the team owner has said hello to all teams in order to let him join the Bulls smoothly. But he never thought that Long Zheng was cut off by the insidious Houstonians. For career advancement, Ryu-jung had to sign a two-year rookie contract with the Rockets. But we all know that Long Zheng's heart is with the Bulls, and as soon as the two-year contract expires, Long Zheng will return to the Bulls.

Reporter: That is to say, you are very complicated about this poster?

Die-hard fan B: Let's just say that. Because the first game was not broadcast live in the United States, we knew that the Japanese national team narrowly beat the Bulls by one point, but we didn't know the specific process of the game. However, we will never believe what the American media said about "the Bulls lost their desire to win after three consecutive championships" or even "deliberately lost the game for the sake of money".

Die-hard fan B, took the microphone: But now we know that the team has not lost its desire to win. In the second warm-up game, when Jordan and Pippen did not play, the Bulls still won the opponent with a score of 92:18 is the best example.

Reporter: Who do you think will win this match? Yokohama City is Ryumasa's hometown, and in this game, Ryumasa has the advantage of being the home field. As far as I know, a cheering group of 1,000 people and a cheerleading squad of 500 people have already arrived at the scene. Compared to the first game, where the audience was mostly neutral, this game was overwhelmingly supportive of Ryuzheng.

Die-hard fan A: The final victory, of course, belongs to our Bulls. In order to support the team, more than a hundred fans came from the United States. Compared to the opponent's more than 30,000 fans, 100 is a small number. However, I believe that when the Bulls players see us, they can feel the support of millions of Bulls fans for the team.

Reporter: That's it for the live broadcast outside the venue. Now that the ticket check-in has begun, everyone follows the guide camera and enters the stadium.

......

In the crowd queuing for ticket checking, Akagi Gangxian and others surrounded Coach Anzai.

"Akagi, you're too uninteresting. Long Zheng gave you a ticket, you actually hid it so deeply, knowing that you only told us yesterday. Akagi Gangxian was beside him, Mitsui Shou said: "In order to let my parents buy me a ticket for the competition, I wore out my mouth. Who knows, Long Zheng has already prepared the tickets. ”

"Mitsui, did your parents buy you a ticket?" Hearing Mitsui's words, Akagi quipped.

"Uh, no." Mitsui Shou hurriedly shook his head: "You know, the official price of a ticket for the competition is 3,000 US dollars a piece, and there is no market for it." However, Long Zheng is also interesting enough, and everyone in the team prepares a ticket. ”

"By the way, Haruko, your school trip is almost over, right?"

Akagi Goken looked at Haruko Akagi and Fujii beside him, and the conversation changed.

"Yes, it's the last day." Haruko Akagi's mood was not high, and she said, "Tomorrow, Fujii and I will go back to school. ”

"We were so lucky that we were on a school trip with the men's national basketball team." Beside Haruko, Fujii was in high spirits: "We watched three games in a row for thousands of dollars a ticket. ”

"I watched three games in a row, what a lucky little guy." Mitsui Shou pursed his lips and said secretly in his heart. (To be continued.) )
