Chapter Twenty-Nine: Buying the Bulls

Kenichi Honda, who is also a basketball coach in Kanagawa, hurriedly diverted the topic and broke the dull atmosphere. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"In the just-concluded NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, the Bulls really fell short, losing to the Pistons again."

Both are engaged in basketball, and Kenkachi Honda led the topic to the just-concluded NBA Eastern Conference semifinals.

"Who's to say it isn't. However, the Pistons' iron-blooded and dirty defense just restrained the Bulls. ”

For a while, several coaches let go of the unwillingness and heaviness in their hearts and chatted.

"I heard that a Japanese company is buying the Bulls, have you heard about that?" Gao Touli said suddenly.

"The popularity of basketball in our country is not high, and the acquisition of an NBA team happened to a Japanese company, so it's impossible." Kazuo Domoto was a little unconvinced.

"We can ask Mr. Oda about this, Mr. Oda has been working hard in the mall, and among the people here, if you want to say who is most likely to know about this, it belongs to Mr. Oda." Kenichi Honda said to everyone.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Oda Hatsufan coughed and said, "Actually, this Japanese company that bought the Bulls is the contemptible Ryumasa Property. ”

"What, it's Mr. Oda's business." Kenichi Honda was dumbfounded.

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Kenichi Honda asked, "The NBA is one of the four major professional leagues in North America and has a lot of influence in North America. Trying to buy an NBA team will run into a lot of obstacles. ”

"yes!" Oda Hatsufan nodded,

"Two years ago, we approached the Bulls to make a trade, but it didn't work out because of foreign relations. Some time ago, the company withdrew a working capital, and Ryumasa directly doubled the purchase price, acquiring all the shares of the Bulls at a price of 12 billion yen. In a week at most, the lawyer will complete the transfer of assets and announce the news to the public. ”

"I can't believe that a Japanese company would spend a lot of money to buy an NBA team."

Kazuo Domoto looked at Oda Hatsufan and bowed.

"Mr. Oda's move has made a great contribution to the development of basketball in Japan, and with the star effect of the Bulls, more young people will participate in the sport of basketball."

"Hehe, I'm not that great."

Oda Hatsufan touched the back of his head, "The acquisition of the Bulls is actually for Long Zheng, this kid has been obsessed with basketball since he was a child, and he has taken joining the NBA as his dream, and he trains hard every day. As parents, we see that our child has given so much to chase his dreams, and we want to help him. After acquiring the Bulls, Long Zheng's path to joining the NBA will be much smoother, and after entering the NBA, he can also have a foothold. ”

"Then why buy the Bulls, although the Bulls are very strong, they have not won a championship, compared to other teams, the Bulls are too shallow. And 12 billion yen can buy traditional powerhouses like the Celtics and Lakers. Kenichi Honda was a little angry for Oda Hatsufan, feeling that Oda Hatsufan had suffered a big loss and was slaughtered by the Americans.

"Actually, the acquisition of the Bulls was Long Zheng's attention, and it was he who persuaded me."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were turned to him, Long Zheng said, "Bulls guard Michael Jordan is my favorite star. I think Michael Jordan has the potential to be the greatest basketball player of all time. In the 1984 NBA Draft, Jordan was selected by the Bulls with the third pick in the first round. In his rookie season, Jordan averaged 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game, won the Rookie of the Year, and was named to the NBA Second Team. In the playoffs that followed, he averaged 29.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.5 assists per game. In the 1986-87 season, Jordan averaged 37.1 points per game and became the NBA scoring champion. In the 1987-88 season, Jordan won four NBA honors: the regular season scoring champion, the best defensive player, the All-Star MVP, and the regular season MVP. In the 1988-89 season, Jordan led the league by averaging 32.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 2.89 steals per game. In the past few years, Jordan's progress has been obvious to all, and every year has made a huge leap. What makes the NBA so appealing is that it has some of the best basketball stars in the world. Among so many stars, Michael Jordan is the brightest one. With Michael Jordan, the Bulls have exposure and fans. ”

"No one can question Michael Jordan's talent, and what Oda said is really likely to turn out to be true."

Ken Honda nodded in agreement.

"I know another reason why Oda is reluctant to join the college and high school basketball teams early."

Gao Touli continued, "Oda is a basketball player who aims for the NBA, and the Japanese basketball world is only a part of Oda's upbringing. As the hope of Japanese basketball. We all supported Oda's decision. ”

"Thank you coaches for your understanding." Long Zheng said respectfully.

"Long Zheng, come and serve the food." Momoeko's voice rang out in the kitchen.

"Mom, here you go." Ryuzheng walked briskly into the kitchen.

Back at home, Shigeichi Kooka has not recovered from today's events.

A Japanese company has acquired an NBA team, and Oda, the hope of Japanese basketball, aims to be in the NBA, and the Japanese basketball world is just part of his upbringing.

"In a week's time, the entire Japanese basketball community will be stunned by the acquisition of the Bulls!"

With this thought, Shigeichi Taoka fell asleep.
