As soon as the meeting ended, the senior executives of the Basketball Association who attended the meeting immediately went their separate ways and became busy.

On the international flight from Tokyo to Chicago, Masao Yamashita, the Minister of External Relations, kept recording something in his notebook.

It is imperative to get in touch with Mr. Oda immediately and use the star of the Bulls to expand the influence of basketball in Japan.

Two years later, at the Barcelona Olympics, baseball officially became a competition, and the Japanese baseball team was determined to enter the Olympic Games.

In order to fight baseball, the Executive Committee of the Basketball Association has set the goal of the men's basketball team to enter the Barcelona Olympics, although this goal is very difficult, but it must be fully implemented.

In the Olympic qualifiers, the Asian hegemon Chinese team has booked the only place in Asia. If Japan wants to participate in the Olympics, they will have to fight for the top two spots in the Olympic qualifiers.

In order to achieve the goal of qualifying for the Olympic Games, the basketball association has pinned its hopes on promoting young players and selecting excellent coaches.

All hopes are pinned on hiring high-level coaches to improve the technical and tactical level of the men's basketball team in the short term; It is hoped that excellent basketball players can appear in the high school age to supplement the men's basketball team and improve the overall strength of the men's basketball team.

Only when these two conditions are fulfilled at the same time can the men's basketball team's desire to enter the Barcelona Olympics be realized.

Before leaving Japan, Kagawa Kiriyo instructed Masao Yamashita, the Minister of Foreign Relations, to work in four areas after arriving in the United States.

1. Organize a new national men's basketball team to get the opportunity to compete, communicate and learn from the Bulls.

2. Before the start of the NBA preseason, invite the Bulls to Japan to hold an exhibition game to expand the influence of basketball in Japan.

3. Relying on the Bulls' connections in the American basketball industry, please ask Mr. Oda to be the middleman, contact the famous high school basketball schools in the United States, select outstanding high school players to form a team to go to the United States, get the opportunity to compete, communicate and learn from the famous high school basketball schools in the United States, and cultivate the new generation of basketball players.

4. Secretly inspect the basketball coaches of the United States and provide first-hand information for the selection of Japanese men's basketball coaches.

The hope of Japanese basketball is in our hands, and Masao Yamashita cheers himself up.

Kanagawa Prefecture, Yokohama City.

Kagawa Kirori stood in front of a house and rang the doorbell.

Moments later, a middle-aged woman opened the door.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged woman had never seen Kagawa Kirirang.

"Kagawa-sensei!" An exclamation came from behind the middle-aged woman, and a tall, sturdy middle-aged man walked over quickly.

"Mr. Kagawa, why did you come here in person, I should have come to visit."

The sturdy middle-aged man hurriedly bowed, looked at the middle-aged woman, and said, "Meiya, hurry up and prepare a meal to entertain Mr. Kagawa." ”

In the living room, a sturdy middle-aged man beckoned Kagawa to take a seat.

"Yataro" Kagawa Kiri said in a condensed voice: "I came this time, I have something very important. ”

Yataro Ando, president of the Kanagawa branch of the Japan Basketball Association, was the main small forward of the Japanese national men's basketball team when he was young, and at that time, Kagawa Kiri was the head coach of the men's basketball team, so Yataro has always regarded himself as a student in front of Kagawa Kiri.

After retiring from the army, Yataro Ando entered the Basketball Association, and was a key member of the Kanto faction, as well as the leader of the Mesozoic era of the Kanto faction, and the most likely person in the faction to enter the headquarters of the Basketball Association.

"Yataro, the report you submitted to the headquarters about Ryumasa Oda is very timely and important."

Kagawa Kiri first affirmed his work as a student.

"For the sake of the development of basketball in Japan, the headquarters has decided to vigorously support youth basketball and carry out star-making sports among outstanding young players."

"Star-making movement," hearing this, Yataro Ando understood. "The headquarters is to support Oda to become a basketball star in Japan."

"Yes, Xiao Tian is a basketball genius and the first star maker in the Basketball Association."

Kagawa Kiri looked at Yataro Ando and smiled slightly.

"The headquarters has decided that you, as the spokesperson of the Basketball Association, will be fully responsible for Oda-san's star-making movement. Yataro, get this matter done, and within two years, the Kanto faction will nominate you to enter the headquarters of the Basketball Association as the head of the first section as the leader of the faction at the headquarters. ”

Electing yourself to the headquarters as the leader of the faction at the headquarters is a step to support yourself in running for president of the basketball association.

Hearing this, Yataro Ando was excited, and hurriedly bowed, "Thank you for the teacher's cultivation, the students will definitely live up to the teacher's trust." ”

"Tomorrow I'm going to see President Tanaka of Fuji Television Co., Ltd., and you come with me." Kagawa Kiri said.

It turned out to be Fuji TV, and Yataro was surprised.

I didn't expect Mr. Kagawa's layout to be so big, Fuji TV, as the largest TV platform in the Kanto region, has an influence in the Kanto region that is incomparable to other TV media.

Three days later, Kanagawa TV welcomed two distinguished guests.

in the reception room.

Kumaki Yano sat on one side with Mr. Inoue, opposite Mr. Yataro Ando, president of the Kanagawa branch of the Basketball Association, and Mr. Tanaka, president of Fuji Television.

"What President Ando means is that in the future, the competitions that Oda will participate in will be broadcast simultaneously on Kanagawa TV and Fuji TV." Yano, Kumaki, said tentatively.

"Yes, Oda is the hope of Japanese basketball and the core of the Basketball Association's star-making program. I discussed with President Tanaka that the two Oda competitions in which Mr. Yano participated in the tournament had a great impact and had a good response, and that in the future, Mr. Yano will continue to broadcast the contests in which Mr. Yano participated, and it will be broadcast simultaneously on Kanagawa TV and Fuji TV. ”

Across from Kumaki Yano, President Tanaka spoke.

"From now on, Oda-san's competitions in Kanagawa Prefecture will be produced by your Kanagawa Television, and those who participate in competitions outside of Kanagawa will be produced by Fuji Television."

"President Tanaka, there is no problem." Director Inoue and Kumatru Yano glanced at each other and nodded in agreement.
