Chapter 493: Draw Again
"Zebei, if you want to join the Tokyo Shueisha team, you actually have a lot of hope. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Looking at Eishi Sawabei, head coach Goro Domoto said meaningfully.
"Hopefully, Coach, what do you mean?" Zebei Eiji asked hesitantly.
"The Tokyo Shueisha team not only gave five places to the Fukasawa basketball team, but also five places to the Great Hanshin earthquake-stricken area, and our Osaka Sports University is also within the scope of the Great Hanshin earthquake-stricken area." In front of everyone, head coach Goro Domoto suddenly said something like this.
"That's it, isn't it the Tokyo Shueisha team?" Suddenly thinking of something, Fukatsu Issei wanted to speak and stopped.
"You're saying that the squad is weak." Understanding what Fukatsu Kazunari meant, head coach Goro Domoto said: "Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, a large part of the reason why Ryumasa formed the Tokyo Shueisha team is to set up overseas satellite clubs to provide a training platform for NBA stars who can't play. I think Ryumasa will soon send NBA stars who can't play to the Tokyo Shueisha team. With these NBA stars on board, the Tokyo Shueisha team can't be weak. β

"Satellite clubs?"
Hearing the words of head coach Goro Domoto, everyone suddenly realized.
That's right, the current NBA, the Chicago Bulls, the Houston Rockets, and the Washington Bullets, the three playoff teams are all under the control of the Dragons. In particular, the Chicago Bulls and the Houston Rockets, as the two major players in the NBA, the team's players are all famous, and many basketball superstars are forced to serve as substitutes, and there is no guarantee of time. For the sake of the players, Long Zheng has loaned some of the powerful superstars of the Chicago Bulls to the Huizhou Rock Team to play in the CBA. But in addition to the Chicago Bulls, the Houston Rockets also need to do the same, and now Ryuzheng formed the Tokyo Shueisha team, which should be to loan some of the strong superstars of the Houston Rockets to the Tokyo Shueisha team.
On the premise of having NBA stars, it doesn't matter how strong the local players are. No wonder, the Tokyo Shueisha team not only gave five places to the Fukasawa basketball team, but also to the Great Hanshin earthquake-stricken area with five places.
"Actually, compared to the Arsenal team that Long Zheng bought the Premier League, the money of the Tokyo Shueisha team is really just a drizzle." Thinking of a report he saw in the morning, Nobe Shohiro suddenly spoke.
"Yes, no matter how good the Tokyo Shueisha team is, it is just a satellite club in the eyes of Long Zheng." Even though the sports are different, the Tokyo Shueisha team is indeed not a heavyweight compared to the Arsenal team in the Premier League.
In the Premier League, not to mention it before the 80s. In the late 80s and early 90s, when Liverpool were in decline and Manchester United were yet to ascend to the throne, Arsenal emerged as England's most feared force, following an incredible comeback in 1989 to win the league title again in 1990/91, with the Gunners' back four frustrating teams. In the entire 1990-91 season, Arsenal lost just one league game.
In 1992/93, Arsenal became the first team to win two cup titles in the same season, beating Sheffield Wednesday in both the FA Cup and League Cup finals. The following 1993/94 season saw the glory of the Graham era continue on the European stage, with Arsenal going all the way to the European Cup Winners' Cup and beating Italian giants Parma 1-0 in the final to win the title, a moment that marked the culmination of Arsenal's leadership under Graham.
However, the 1994/95 season was a bleak one, with Arsenal losing to Zaragoza in the 1995 European Cup Winners' Cup final, and Graham leaving the club at the end of that season. But no one could have imagined at the time that Graham would later come to charge at Tottenham Hotspur, which would make him a hated object of Arsenal fans for a time.
Arsenal entered a brief transition period after the departure of Danny Graham, with Hoston and Leoch acting as head coach successively, but neither lasted long.
In the first half of the 1996/97 season, Arsenal welcomed Arsène Wenger, the club's first foreign manager, from Japan's Nagoya Whales.
So, whether it was before or now, in the Premier League, Arsenal is definitely the team at the top of the pyramid.

"Do you know why Longzheng bought Arsenal at this time?"
In front of everyone, head coach Goro Domoto sold off the table.
"For Long Zheng, the purchase of the Arsenal team is just a drop in the bucket, maybe Long Zheng is just a whim, just like we see a product in the mall, suddenly want to buy it and then spend money to buy it."
Looking at the head coach Goro Domoto, Kazunari Fukatsu said tentatively.
"You guys are underestimating Long Zheng too much." Shaking his head, head coach Goro Domoto said slowly: "For other rich people, there may be such a whim, but for Longhua, there will never be. The reason why Long Zheng bought the Arsenal team was actually for the Salwyn men's football team. β
"Salwyn men's soccer team?" Hearing the words of head coach Goro Domoto, Masashi Kawada, Shohiro Nobe, Eishi Sawakita, Satoshi Ichikura, Kazunari Fukatsu and others were dumbfounded.
"Salwyn will have a men's football team?" Kazunari asked incredulously.
"Why, you don't believe it." Looking at everyone, head coach Goro Domoto said with emotion: "Anything that can't happen is naturally easy when it is put on Long Zheng. β
"If I hadn't learned some inside information at a gathering of sports people a few days ago, I wouldn't have believed it." After a pause, head coach Goro Domoto continued.
"As you know, the Federal Republic of Salween has only been established for a few years, not to mention the football team, there are very few professional football players. In order to form the Salween men's football team and participate in the qualifiers for the World Cup in France, Long Zheng can only start with naturalized players. However, as the world's number one sport, what footballer does not want to play for his country, and who wants to naturalize in another country, even if Rock Agency has many professional footballers. There is no way, Long Zheng can only buy a giant team and join the Premier League giants as a bargaining chip, in exchange for some professional football players naturalized to the Federal Republic of Salween to play for the Salween men's football team. In front of everyone, head coach Goro Domoto explained.
"If that's the case, then this Salwyn men's football team is really terrifying. You must know that the original Salween men's basketball team won the gold medal in the Atlanta Olympics by naturalizing players. Suddenly realizing something, Masashi Kawada said in a condensed voice.
"It can't be as good as the Salwyn men's basketball team. According to the newspaper, the Federal Republic of Salween is now in the process of amending its nationality law, and Salween will henceforth recognize only a single nationality and no longer recognize dual nationality. I heard that Duncan and they have officially quit the Salwyn men's basketball team. β
In front of everyone, Kazunari Fukatsu denied Masashi Kawada's conjecture.
"No, if the Federal Republic of Salween only recognizes a single nationality, then none of those footballers who have become famous will want to join the Salween men's football team." Hearing what Fukatsu Kazunari said, Masashi Kawada said in surprise: "After all, those famous stars are worth a lot of money, and they are highly respected by the domestic people. β
As Masashi Kawada and others said, Ryumasa, who can't dig up a famous star, can only target teenagers who haven't kicked out of the hall yet. With the help of Panshi's vast network, Salwyn men's football team has successfully recruited four potential players.
Rete Ribeiro Adriano was born on February 17, 1982 in the favela of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Ronaldo de Assis Moreira was born on March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Michael Ballac and Miroslav Klose, who was still playing in the third division.
Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack, Klose, plus Salwin's domestic players, the first phase of the Salwin men's football team was officially formed. The first Salwyn men's football team had only one task, and that was to compete in the Asian qualifiers for the 98 World Cup in France and compete for a ticket to France.
The World Cup, starting from the World Cup in France, has expanded the final stage from the top 24 to the top 32, and the number of participants from all continents has also increased accordingly. Asia has been increased from two to 3.5 places, with the fourth place in Asia competing for the remaining half of the ticket against the first place in the Oceania zone.
Due to the increase in the number of participating teams, the number of qualifiers has also increased, and as in the previous two editions, only six groups were divided, and then the format of the top six matches was also out of date. So from this Asian qualifier, we have a familiar name "Top 10 Competition". It means that there are ten teams participating in the final stage of the qualifiers, and then divided into two groups of five teams each, playing a double round-robin home and away match.
The first stage of the group stage is divided into ten groups, and the first place in the ten groups enters the top ten.
The distribution of the teams in the ten groups, specifically:
one group, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Chinese Taipei, Bangladesh;
Group 2, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Maldives;
three groups, UAE, Jordan, Bahrain;
Group 4: Japan, Oman, Macau, Nepal;
Group 5: Uzbekistan, Yemen, Indonesia, Cambodia;
Group 6, South Korea, Thailand, Hong Kong;
seven groups, Kuwait, Lebanon, Singapore, Salween;
Eight groups, Huaguo, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Vietnam;
nine groups, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Pakistan;
Ten groups, Qatar, Sri Lanka, India, Philippines.
Due to the increase in the number of groups and the dispersion of strong teams, there is basically no suspense in the first stage of the group stage, including Salwin, the ten strong teams that won the first place in the group are easily qualified with undefeated records. The only surprise was Group 9, where Kazakhstan, a newcomer to Asia, beat Iraq to qualify.
If Kazakhstan's qualification was a surprise, Salwin's all-out victory was a shock.
In the group stage competition, the four naturalized players of the Salwyn men's football team, Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack, and Klose, performed amazingly, covering the shortcomings of the Salwyn men's football team's poor defense with crazy attacks, and successfully advanced to the top ten.
After the first stage of the group stage, the top 10 matches will not start until September '97.
At that time, the ten teams will be divided into two groups of five teams each for a home-and-away double round-robin match. The first place in the two groups will directly qualify. The second-placed teams in the two groups play the third- and fourth-place play-offs, with the winner also qualifying for the World Cup and the loser playing a play-off against the Oceanian team for that ticket.
After the draw, the final group of this year's top 10 has been decided:
Group A, Saudi Arabia, Iran, China, Qatar, Salwyn; Group B, South Korea, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan.
Considering that the top 10 matches that started in September cannot be lost, Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack, and Klose were all sent to the Arsenal team of the Premier League by Long Zheng, and all entered the first team.
As the new owner of the team, Long Zheng made it clear that the Arsenal team must ensure the playing time of Adriano, Ronaldinho, Ballack and Klose.

Turning his attention back to the NBA playoffs, 98:95, with the help of Long Zheng's three-point shot, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Washington Bullets successfully overtook the score and temporarily led the strong Chicago Bulls.
After Ryu-jeong hit a three-point shot, the Chicago Bulls, who got the ball, quickly launched a fast break.
Point guard Steve Nash received a teammate's sideline serve and quickly dribbled to the frontcourt.
With his brilliant off-ball movement, the Bulls successfully penetrated the defense of the Washington Bullets, point guard Steve Nash assisted, and small forward Scottie Pippen escaped from outside the three-point line to receive a pass and make a decisive shot.
At 98:98, small forward Scottie Pippen hit a three-pointer to tie the game again. (To be continued.) )
