Chapter 196: The Big Names Arrive (Ask for Collection)
Inside the basketball arena, some inconspicuous corner. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Steve Smith, head coach of the Oak Hill basketball team, and Jake, assistant coach, sit quietly. Because they were both wearing caps, the foreign faces of the two did not attract onlookers.
It's mid-August, and the recruitment of basketball talent will be held from August 21 to August 31. Therefore, when Ryumasa called to inform Sakuragi Hanamichi about the incident, the two of them, who had free time, immediately took a flight to Japan.
The current Oak Hill basketball team has an unparalleled influence in the American basketball community. As the No. 1 school in the United States, countless teenagers who love basketball are eager to attend Oak Hill Middle School.
As a member of the first team of the Oak Hill basketball team, each of them has a special grant of $100,000 per year. That's a lot of money for any family.
Compared with the $100,000 grant, they value the success rate of Oak Hill Middle School more seriously.
Therefore, the two knew that the recruitment of basketball talents in the near future must be done well. Even if they believe that Long Zheng has a unique vision, the two still want to see it for themselves.
After coming to Japan, Long Zheng quickly put the video of Sakuragi Hanamichi in front of the two, plus watched several games in Xiangbei on the spot, and the two confirmed Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebounding talent and recognized Sakuragi Hanamichi to join the first team of the Oak Mountain basketball team. (The second team of the Oak Hill basketball team was to house the previous group of Oak Hill players.) With the graduation of this batch of players, the second team was immediately canceled. Therefore, the students who are now recruited into Oak Hill Middle School through basketball students are all on the first team. )
After confirming that Sakuragi Hanamichi joined the team, the two did not return to the United States immediately, but chose to stay in Japan, in order to see if they could find new good seedlings, which led to the scene of the two sitting in the basketball hall.
The finals of this competition were crowned "the first in history", one side is the undefeated mountain king, and the strongest mountain king, and the other side is the unfathomable Xiangbei. If this group of players can't find anyone to look at, then there is no need to count on other Japanese players.
As the game approached, the atmosphere became more and more intense.
In this way, the two who have been calm undoubtedly form a stark contrast with the surrounding audience.
....................................................................................................................................................
The best spot in the auditorium.
A group of middle-aged men surrounded a tall black man.
President Kiri Kagawa, First Vice President Yasunari Hatoyama, Second Vice President, Director of Administration, Director of Organization Shinnosuke Okamoto, Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yasataro Yamashita, Director of External Relations Masao Yamashita, Director of Referees, and eight leaders of the Japan Basketball Association Headquarters all sat here. As for the officials of the organizing committee of this competition, they are not qualified to sit here.
The tall black man they surrounded was none other than Michael Jordan, the hottest basketball superstar in the NBA. As the head of the external relations department, among the eight, Masao Yamashita has the best English.
So, he and Kagawa Kirirang, who also speaks English, sat on the left and right sides of Michael Jordan.
"President Kagawa, I heard from Ryumasa that Sakuragi Hanamichi has been officially admitted to Oak Hill Middle School." Michael Jordan's words were filled with admiration.
"Really?" Kagawa Kiri was overjoyed to hear this, and as the president of the Oak Hill Middle School, he knew very well what it meant to enter Oak Hill Middle School.
Last year, Eishi Zebei, who was recommended by the Basketball Association, was rejected by Oak Hill Middle School, but the Japanese Basketball Association was disgraced and felt quite faceless. Now hearing the news, Kagawa Kiri immediately became excited.
"Sakuragi-san, but a player that the basketball association focuses on."
As a politician, Kagawa Kiri Jean did not blush or breathe when he told lies, and before, these officials at the headquarters of the Basketball Association did not even know who Sakuragi Hanamichi was, and of course, they still did not know now. "If he can enter Oak Hill Middle School, he will definitely be better trained, and his future is limitless!"
"yes!"
Michael Jordan really thinks that Hanamichi Sakuragi is a player that the Japanese Basketball Association is focusing on, "The Oak Hill basketball team is known to be a harder school to get into than the NBA. Sakuragi-san is currently enrolled in Oak Hill Middle School, and it is inevitable that he will enter the NBA in the future. ”
"Oh!" In Japan, Kagawa Kiri only knew that Oak Hill High School was the No. 1 school in the United States in the basketball world, and he really didn't know much more.
I didn't expect that the players who enrolled in Oak Hill Middle School could enter the NBA in the future, but since this was said by Michael Jordan, it must not be false.
"Remember the sensation caused by the Oak Hill players after graduating in order to compete for them." Michael Jordan thinks of Rashid Wallace, Kerry Kittels, and Steve Nash graduating from high school.
"In the race for three Oak Hill graduates, colleges and universities across the United States are fighting for their heads."
"Huh! It was because of my matchmaking that the University of North Carolina successfully recruited three people. To this end, the University of North Carolina not only took over the burden of Oak Hill High School and covered all the tuition and fees of the three during their college years, but also provided full scholarships to the three of them. Speaking of which, Michael Jordan is quite proud.
"I see!" "Awesome!" ......
Michael Jordan was surrounded by basketball officials who constantly flattered him.
