The overwhelming reports made Xiangyang really angry.

Kanagawa's newspapers, basketball weekly, and even basketball magazines across the country have been dominated by Kanagawa's Xiangyang and Lin Dong in the past few days.

But the reporter who suffered a loss in the interview obviously still brought some personal emotions to Lin Dong's personal description.

Although there is no direct evaluation or deliberate praise or criticism, his identity as a native of the Dragon Kingdom has been repeatedly emphasized in various articles, including the refusal of the three-year guarantee contract of the Xiangyang school.

It seems to be constantly telling fans that this genius does not belong to Japan, and may even be an enemy of Japan......

If there is a desire to develop in Japan, such propaganda is obviously not good for Lin Dong, but he has no intention of doing so, so it is a good phenomenon.

Whether you go to the United States or return to China, the first thing you need is definitely a lot of exposure and hot spots.

And a dragon country who stirred up the storm in the Japanese basketball world, such a gimmick of publicity has come a few more times, which may have more attention than winning the national competition......

It's a pity that this wave of public opinion with the subjective will of reporters did not last long.

Before this public opinion caused any heated discussions in China, another even more blockbuster news for the Japanese basketball world has been smashed.

-- NBA commissioner David Stern will take a group of NBA players on a 20-day trip to Japan, and has already entered into new collaborations with the Japan Basketball Association and NHK.

NHK paid $5 million for the broadcast rights to part of the 00-01 season, and will also complete two NBA preseason games in Japan on November 3 and November 4 at the Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa against the Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs.

As soon as the news appeared, it was like dropping a bombshell on a calm lake, which made the entire Japanese basketball world excited.

Not to mention Xiangyang, who just won the championship of the county competition, even if Xiangyang tortured the Mountain King and won the championship of the summer high school league, its popularity has to stand far aside compared to this news.

As early as the 90-91 season and the 94-95 season, the NBA has held two preseason overseas special games in Japan, and the game venue in the 94-95 season is at the Yokohama Arena, which is also a revisit.

The key is the NBA's broadcasting rights.

In the year 2000, basketball was the third most registered sport in Japan after baseball and soccer.

is such a small domain, but the number of registered players is ten times more than that of the large and rich Dragon Kingdom, and it definitely has a fairly wide popularity base among the people.

But as far as the mainstream media is concerned, basketball has been rarely reported, let alone compared with baseball and football in the mainstream media, even if curling is reported more than basketball, in addition to the special reports of basketball weekly, the basketball league in the mainstream media is often only a one-line report so embarrassing, let alone the mainstream media to broadcast any basketball games.

But this time, NHK actually waved its hand and signed a broadcast agreement with the NBA worth 5 million US dollars for at least two games a week, so that basketball has been more widely disseminated and concerned in China, which is tantamount to a powerful booster for the entire Japanese basketball world.

"It's a pity that it's not the Philadelphia 76ers who came." Fuji Zhen said with emotion while holding the newspaper.

Everyone knows that he likes Iverson of the 76ers, and said with a smile: "Captain, wait for November, when there is a game between the 76ers and the Spurs, your idol will come." ”

"I guess I have to go and grab the ticket very early in advance."

"I only played the game in November, so I guess it won't be until September, right?"

"After all, the date of the competition has been set, maybe it will go on sale now?" Everyone was talking nonsense.

Fuji Zhen suddenly couldn't sit still: "I'll go to the gymnasium and ask!" ”

"Captain, order one for me if you have one!"

"Me too!"

"Lin Dongjun, do you want it?" Fujima asked.

Lin Dong shook his head, and his mind was not on any preseason tickets at all.

This news may be just a shot in the arm for the Japanese basketball world, but for Lin Dong, it has a very special significance.

Ever since the idea of finding a trainer through reports like Basketball Weekly arose, he has been following all kinds of news about the Japanese basketball world all this time.

But the trainer he was looking for didn't find it, but he saw a lot of basketball news that made him doubt himself a little.

For example, about three months ago, the Japanese basketball world had just experienced a major upheaval, and the former top professional basketball league in Japan was officially separated, divided into two parts: the semi-professional NBL league with corporate basketball as the main body, and the all-professional BL league with community and region as the main body.

But in Lin Dong's memory, the division of Japan's top league should have been a few years ago......

Did you remember it wrong? Or is there a deviation from the history, development, etc., of this world and the world in which you once lived?

If this news may be caused by his unfamiliarity with the history of Japanese basketball in his previous life and his misremembered memory, then some basketball news he saw on the international plate can make Lin Dong completely sure of this judgment.

It was a news story about the NBA that was reported in Basketball Weekly two months ago.

The Dallas Mavericks won 39-43 in the regular season and missed the playoffs, and Wang Zhizhi, the first player to join the NBA in the Dragon Kingdom, played in 17 games all season, averaging 11 minutes per game, scoring 7.6 points and 2.3 rebounds, shooting 52.6% from the field and 90% from the field, and also played 21 minutes at Madison Garden, scoring 21 points and 7 rebounds......

This......

If there may be a memory bias in the history of Japanese basketball, but for the first player to land in the NBA in the Dragon Country, let alone Lin Dong, any basketball person in the Dragon Country should know all its data quite well.

Lin Dong remembers very well that although Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Dallas Mavericks with the 36th pick in last year's draft, due to the relationship between the domestic environment and the Basketball Association, Wang Zhizhi could not report to the NBA until 01, that is, in April next year, but now, ...... Dazhi has already finished a regular season with the Dallas Mavericks!

Moreover, the overall statistics, number of appearances, playing time, etc., are also much better than the first season of Dazhi in that world.

In addition, this time, the Japanese media broke the convention of the previous life and introduced the official NBA broadcast on NHK, all of which seems to show that the world is different from the previous life.

Lin Dong has no intention of investigating whether this is a so-called quantum theory, the butterfly effect, or a change related to the system in his body.

He is now truly living in this world, and has the same opportunity to pursue his dreams, even if he treats his past life as a dream, it doesn't matter.

It's just that it's really not clear whether such a background change is good or bad for me.

Not a good thing, at least for now, because it means that many of my perceptions are skewed.

What is the basketball environment in the Dragon Country? NSAA environment?

All of this needs to be reconsidered, and where we go in the future cannot be measured by some memories of past lives.

In fact, my purpose has always been clear, that is, to constantly improve myself, and then go to the NBA and step into the highest hall of basketball.

As for the completion of the basketball dream of the Dragon Kingdom, it is after he has reached the peak, and if it conflicts with the training of this most precious few years of youth, it must be the latter priority.

So whether it's going back to China or going to the NSAA, which side is advantageous to choose.

Nothing more.

The main reason is that there are too few ways to understand the real basketball background in the world, and it is not enough to rely on the introduction of the media and newspapers.

Who can trust everything in the newspaper?

Now I have to wait for Coach Kitano, after all, he is a famous coach who has coached NSAA strong teams in the United States for several years.

He should know more about the real understanding of American or Asian basketball, and perhaps he can know a lot of information from his mouth that is really conducive to choosing his future path.
