"Probably, you already know each other's identities. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the first time we met, I, as an intermediary, would like to introduce it to you. ”

Yataro Ando spoke.

"This is a popular anchor of Kanagawa TV, Kumaki Yano. Mr. Yano was commissioned by the Basketball Association, and in the future, Mr. Yano would broadcast every game hosted by the Basketball Association on behalf of Kanagawa TV and Fuji TV on behalf of Oda-san in the future. ”

"This is the head coach of the national youth team, Yusaku Ozawa. This meeting was also proposed by Coach Ozawa. ”

Yataro Ando continues to introduce Ryumasa and Sakuragi.

"Oda-san, I won't introduce you. This is a friend of Oda-san, Sakuragi Hanamichi. ”

"Hello Coach Ozawa and Mr. Yano!"

After listening to Ando's introduction, Long Zheng and the two hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Coach Ozawa, you proposed this meeting?"

Ryumasa looked at Yusaku Ozawa suspiciously, and asked hesitantly, "I don't know if the juniors have anything to serve you?" ”

"In this game with Xiangyang, do you think you are happy on the field? Oda-san, I hope you can answer this question honestly. ”

Yusaku Ozawa stared into Ryumasa's eyes.

"Not happy!"

Facing the head coach of the national youth team, although he didn't know what Yusaku Ozawa was looking for him, Long Zheng still said what he wanted.

Unhappy is unhappy, there's nothing to hide.

"Oda-san, can you tell me why? Why win the game and still be unhappy? ”

Yusaku Ozawa pressed step by step, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could penetrate Ryumasa's heart and see Ryumasa's deepest thoughts.

"Because for me, there was no confrontation, no passion. On the basketball court, I don't have the feeling of blood boiling. ”

Looking at Yusaku Ozawa, Ryumasa's eyes became deep, "The basketball game I yearn for is to meet strong players, constantly challenge them, improve myself, and finally defeat them, I hope that my skills are improving every day, I need opponents." ”

"Good!"

Yusaku Ozawa said loudly, "Oda-san, I really didn't misunderstand you. You are a player with a strong spirit of challenge and a desire to survive. Now that you have such an opportunity, you will encounter many unimaginable powerful opponents, do you want to seize it? ”

"Coach Ozawa, can you tell me what the opportunity is?"

"Ten days later, the national youth team will go to four European countries for training. Oda-san, on behalf of the Basketball Association, I have recruited you to join the national youth team to participate in this European training. ”

"Ten days from now? The semifinals and finals of the county tournament are next weekend. After participating in the prefectural competition, I was able to go. Long Zheng calculated for a moment and said to Yusaku Ozawa.

"In the semi-finals and finals of the prefectural competition, Oda-san may not be able to participate. According to the itinerary, the national youth team will rush to Tokyo to report before June 25, and after a simple run-in training, on July 1, take a plane to the first destination, Lithuania. If Oda were to participate in the semi-finals and finals of the prefectural competition, he would miss the run-in training before the departure. I hope that Oda will think carefully when he goes back and give up the semifinals and finals. After all, the competition at the junior high school level has no effect on Oda. ”

"Don't go back and think about it, I can get back to you right now."

Long Zheng's tone was extremely serious.

"I'm not going to give up on the semi-finals and the final, even if I'm just sitting in the audience and cheering everyone on. The county championship is dispensable for me. But for the other players of Wako, it is the biggest dream. I will not leave them for the sake of my future when they need me most. No brothers, no basketball! In our team of light, we are partners who fight side by side, trustworthy friends, and the strongest support for each other. Not to mention the run-in training, even if the whole European training can't participate, I won't give up the semi-finals and finals, so that everyone will be disappointed for me. ”

"Haha, this is youth." Next to him, Yataro Ando was enlivening the atmosphere, "When we were young, didn't we come here like this." Coach Ozawa, you can be accommodating. On the basketball court, the most important thing is your teammates. It's not easy for Oda to understand this truth at such a young age. ”

"Okay. Oda-san, after you finished the competition, you and Chairman Ando rushed directly to Tokyo. President Ando is one of the members of the team who will accompany this training, so he will take you to Tokyo to meet the national youth team. President Ando, please. ”

Yusaku Ozawa said helplessly. If other players are absent from the run-in training, they will be passed by him directly. But since it was Long Zheng, and the reason proposed was for the ideal of his companions, Yusaku Ozawa could only pinch his nose and admit it, allowing Long Zheng to be absent from the run-in training, and directly join the national youth team to go to Europe for training.

Leaving the basketball hall and on the way home, Long Zheng was extremely excited.

After the energy hidden in the deepest part of the body merged into the body, Ryumasa's talent began to awaken.

In the middle school game, Long Zheng could no longer find an opponent, and the game without confrontation and passion made Long Zheng extremely depressed.

Participating in the national youth team, going to four European countries for training, meeting strong opponents, discovering shortcomings, understanding gaps, and improving skills are things that Long Zheng cannot seek.

In particular, Yusaku Ozawa allowed himself to complete the game with the light team first, and he could not participate in the run-in training before going to Europe, and Ryumasa was secretly happy.

At this time in 1990, the basketball strength of Europe was still very strong, and the European floor stream led by the Soviet Union (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) and Yugoslavia (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) could compete with the United States team in the two most important basketball events of the Olympic Games and the World Championships. Of course, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, with the 1992 Barcelona Olympics as the dividing line, the United States basketball completely formed a dominant hegemony, except for the 04 Athens Olympics defeated by the golden generation of Argentina, the American basketball team has never lost the Olympic gold medal. But in addition to the United States, European basketball has always been a strong team in the world, and American teams can compete with them.

"Yo hey! Europe, I'm coming! ”

Ryuzheng cheered, played with Sakuragi, and ran home.
