Winter 140 debut
In the evening, Coach Anthy had a treat, and Old Earl, Stephen and others were also there, and they went to have a good meal for the New Year.
Lin Dong's phone kept going on non-stop.
Fuji Zhen and their New Year's greetings, and the Akino Heavenly Palace urged him to hurry back...... Of course, Lao Lin is indispensable.
In fact, Lin Dong wanted to go back to accompany Lao Lin for the New Year at first, but Lao Lin has been on a business trip recently, and it seems that because of the intervention of Hitachi Group, the trouble on Lao Lin Bank's side has been a little difficult to handle, so the frequency of business trips has been very frequent recently.
Of course, in addition to talking to Lao Lintong, the guy who is far away in the United States is naturally indispensable, but then there is no need to chat in front of Coach Anxi and them in the hotel, naturally it is a matter of hiding under the covers after returning to the dormitory......
The next morning, the three of them were on the plane with Coach Anzai.
Everyone is in economy class together.
This is a small plane, there are two columns on the left and right of the seats, each column has only three seats, Coach Anzai bought his and Sakuragi's return tickets before he came, Mitsui and Lin Dong were selected together, just behind the two of them, but Coach Anzai changed the position with a word.
Let Mitsui and Sakuragi sit in the front, and he and Lin Dong sit in the back.
Seeing the old man happily sitting next to him, Lin Dong felt that he might have something to say to himself.
Sure enough, as soon as he took off, Coach Anthy opened the conversation.
"Your father works at the Kanagawa Bank of Communications branch, right?"
Lin Dong nodded.
Coach Anthy smiled and said, "How is your father's work lately?" Got an eye on it? β
"I've heard we're in some trouble." Lin Dong frowned, he didn't expect Coach Anxi to suddenly mention his father: "Although my father didn't say it to me, I think it may have something to do with the failure of the Basketball Association to naturalize me." β
"Looks like you know a lot." Coach Anthy smiled and asked him, "How do you feel?" β
"Next."
Coach Anthy nodded.
"Some time ago, the Kanagawa Chamber of Commerce did send some messages to all large and small enterprises in Kanagawa, asking everyone to support the local banking industry and boycott my father's branch...... I got some rumors that it was indeed done by the Basketball Association and the Hitachi Group behind it. β
"So before I came yesterday, I had already united some small and medium-sized enterprises to not respond, and at the same time, I had already diverted all the capital flows of the Ankor chain to your father's bank, and I think this should help your father's work a little bit."
Lin Dong was slightly stunned, a little surprised.
It is not only unexpected that Coach Anzai will pay attention to such a thing, but also that Coach Anzai will not hesitate to go against the tacit agreement of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce to support his father's bank.
Speaking of which, Coach Anzai is indeed a monopoly among ordinary people, but in the Japanese business world, a chain brand like Ankor fried chicken restaurant has not even been listed, and it has no influence at all, let alone confrontation with the Chamber of Commerce.
I don't have much friendship with Coach Anzay, and this is not a matter on the basketball court, Coach Anthy would choose to help him like this, which is really unimaginable.
"Thank you." No matter why Coach Anxi wants to help him, Lin Dong's thanks are still sincere.
"I can't talk about it." Coach Anzai said with a smile: "Anke fried chicken restaurant, not to mention the Japanese business community, even in Kanagawa Prefecture, it is not a big company, my influence is limited, and the few small companies I have contacted are not large enough in terms of capital flow, which may not be able to help your father's bank tide over, so you don't need to thank me first." β
"It's just that I think basketball should be pure, and if someone wants to do these unfair things in the name of the rise of Japanese basketball, then someone must stand up and say no to them, no matter how big or small, it's also a voice." Coach Anzai looked at Lin Dong's eyes and said slowly: "At the same time, I also want to tell you that there are good and bad people everywhere, I hope you don't have too deep prejudices about Japan because of this, and I also hope that your friendship with Sakuragi will not be ruined because of this......"
"Of course it has nothing to do with Sakuragi." Lin Dong smiled.
Sakuragi Hanamichi in front of him suddenly leaned on his seat and turned his head: "My Uncle Da Lin is a banker?" Hahaha, my dad used to be in the bank too! β
Coach Anthy laughed, just now he saw that the two guys were chattering in front, but he didn't expect to be eavesdropping.
"Hehehehehe!" Coach Anzai took out a matchup table from his pocket, handed it to Sakuragi Hana and said: "Don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, oh, the group matchup table for the winter selection, take it and take a look, if you have time to eavesdrop, let's care about yourself first." β
"Winter selection bracket?" Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes lit up.
Mitsui Shou next to him raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Lin Dong, secretly wrote down what he had just heard, and then leaned over and looked at the match table with Sakuragi.
I saw that the bracket table was divided into ABCD, 4 divisions.
Xiangyang, as the first place in the summer league, occupies the No. 1 seed position in the upper left and has a bye in the first round.
The second seed is located on the lower right side, which should have belonged to Hainan, but because Hainan did not make it to the national competition, it was occupied by Sanno Industries, which came up.
On the top right is the No. 3 seed, which is the No. 4 seed in the Summer League semi-finals, and on the bottom left, the No. 4 seed, which is occupied by Hakata Sho in the top eight......
The two hurriedly searched for a while, and finally saw the name of Xiangbei, in the lower right area, far away from Xiangyang, and the two immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wha! Dad, you've finally drawn a good lot! Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted excitedly.
"Are you happy a little too soon?" Mitsui Shou was a little numb in his scalp: "Look at our opponents." β
Sakuragi took a closer look, Xiangbei, as a team without a bye, played Toyama's Pill Sanshang in the first round, and played in the second round in the summer league, which ranked 7th in the summer league, Higashizakura High School.
"It's not strong." He muttered.
"Watch the third round." Mitsui Shou pointed, speechlessly, to the lower right corner, only to see that the opponent was suddenly Sanno Industries.
When the two people in front of them were chattering, Coach Anxi had already smiled and said to Lin Dong: "Lin Dong, I want to ask you for a little favor." β
"You say."
Coach Anxi smiled: "The opponent in the third round of Xiangbei is Sanno Industry...... This mountain king must have paid attention to you, it is indeed very strong, but I think Xiangbei is not without opportunities. β
"So, let's take a look at the game between the King of the Mountain and Xiangbei on the 4th." Coach Anxi lowered his voice slightly: "If Xiangbei goes well, you will watch from the sidelines, but if Xiangbei falls into disadvantage or predicament...... I hope you can inspire them on the spot. β
Lin Dong was stunned, isn't this what you, a coach, should do?
"Hehe, you're special, I'm just a coach, and you're ...... You are now the god of basketball in the hearts of all high school students in Japan. Coach Anthy smiled and said, "I will do everything I can, but in some cases, there are some things that you can say that will work better than me." Of course, if you don't want to, don't force it. β
Lin Dong smiled dumbly, it seems that in order to win Xiangbei, Coach Anxi really counted everything that could be used.
To be honest, in terms of the industrial strength of the mountain king that I saw in the TV video, this Xiangbei team is not an opponent.
Although Sakuragi's basket skills are already quite good, they still lose in tonnage compared to Mori Shigekan; Akagi is no match for Mori Shigekan at all; Rukawa Kaede has not returned to the team, and he doesn't know where the people are; Miyagi Ryota is the upper limit is obvious, and it can be seen from this holiday that everyone else has made significant progress, but Miyagi Ryota is limited by physical conditions, and his progress is quite limited.
Maybe Mitsui Shou, who returned from special training, can be worth looking forward to in Xiangbei a little, but that's all.
But what does it matter? For me, that's just a gesture.
"Good!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In Kanagawa, which arrived at 1 a.m. on January 1, the opening ceremony of the winter selection had just ended.
Fortunately, these people are not the type who like to join in the fun, and those who don't have the opening ceremony can't ask for it.
But the organizer was a little depressed, originally wanted Lin Dong to speak at the opening ceremony on behalf of the participating teams, after all, he was the MVP of the summer league, but he didn't come......
It can only be replaced by Xiangyang's Fujima.
Although the captain of the champion team delivered a speech at the opening ceremony, it is reasonable, but such a small episode also detonated all kinds of crazy little essays in the media.
- Unbelievable self-discipline, unimaginable hard work, not even willing to waste a day of training time, this is the blood and bones of the 4.3 billion strongest men!
ββThe final prize of the winter selection, the Nike Basketball Summit place, Lin Dong has locked a seat in advance!
ββThe supreme of the football world, Xiangyang Lindong! The king of the mountain is not out, who will compete!
- Give Lin Dong a ten minutes, and return a legend to Kanagawa!
ββAt 9:30 a.m. on the 3rd, the debut of the winter game, Xiangyang vs. Fufang, whether Lin Dong will start his 10-minute legend, NHK and Kanagawa TV have live broadcasts, let's wait and see!
NHK's live broadcast, winter special, and Kanagawa local TV broadcast, the live broadcast of a high school basketball game by the two TV stations is enough to be called unprecedented.
On the morning of the 3rd.
The first round was played yesterday, and it was all teams that didn't rank in the summer league pecking each other, and although the TV station broadcast one or two games, it was also lackluster.
And the TV station live, it is the game of Xiangbei, after all, it is the host team, or replaced the team of Hainan, in a group of weak chicken teams is also a little bit of attention, but unfortunately the game is not very exciting, facing a team of the best results in history is a round of weak team, and it is only a small victory of 88:69, Mitsui Shou and Rukawa Kaede have returned, but the performance is decent, the desire to attack is not strong, and they only handed over a report card of 18 points and 19 points.
Everyone's eyes were on No. 3, staring at Xiangyang, who made his debut in the winter trials in the morning.
At this time, the entire Kanagawa alley was empty, the Yokohama Stadium was crowded, and even outside the stadium, there were still many fans who could not buy tickets, so that the entire street was blocked.
They are all fans, and around the Yokohama Stadium, many popular legends and 'holy places' have long been spreading.
"And voila! Opposite is the Royal Park Hotel, and this is the field where Lin Dongjun played the NBA rookie before! "When you hear it, you know it's a local fan.
"What the hell? When Stern toured Japan before, he didn't fight Xiangyang, right? β
"Haha, from out of town, right?" The locals laughed: "It's the NBA rookie team that beats our Kanagawa mixed team!" Lin Dong, Mu Shenyi, Fuji Zhen, and Hua Xingtou are all here! And we almost won! β
It's a pity that I didn't buy a ticket, and the outsiders who couldn't enter the arena said unhappily: "Blow you, can high school students play with NBA rookies?" I remember when I was on the tour friendly, those college teams were beaten by NBA rookies and won by more than 100 points. Besides, I haven't seen any NHK report on it. β
"You don't understand this, that's because NHK doesn't want to promote our Lin Dong-kun in Kanagawa! I'll tell you......"
Similar conversations can be heard everywhere on the streets of Yokohama at this moment.
At this time, in the Yokohama Stadium, the main basketball hall ......
"Xiangyang! Xiangyang! Xiangyang! β
"Lin Dong! MVPοΌ Lin Dong! MVPοΌ β
The game hadn't started yet, but the cheers were already coming and going, and Lin Dong had too many fans, and it was different from the summer league and the county tournament in the winter selection.
There were quite a few girls fans at the scene......
After all, this is the New Year's Day, and all schools in Kanagawa are closed, and with the charm of Lin Dong in Kanagawa......
So they gathered this team that didn't care much about the basketball game at all, and was chattering and chattering in the stadium the whole time, just waiting for Lin Dong to appear!
The names of both teams are already on the electronic scoreboard.
Xiangyang VS Fufang.
There are 10 minutes left in the countdown......
The winter selection has begun, which is the end of the slam dunk chapter, and everyone has guessed the plot, but it must be written well, and strive to realize a youth dream.
(End of chapter)
