Chapter 574 Old Friends

In addition to Jun Tsuchiya, Ichiro Kamiso and Fujima who have played in the Japanese professional league.

Amu is said to have opened a sporting goods store in Tokyo. He used to be a regional agent for Nike, but when Under Armour was preparing to make a comeback last year, he had already switched to the Under Armour camp under the matchmaking of Mitsui Shou. Now he has obtained the exclusive agency rights of Under Armour in Japan, and his business is quite big. At the same time, he has become the sponsor of the Japanese B League and the brand sponsor of teams such as Shibuya Sun Rock.

Akagi Takenori is in the same industry as Amu. He moved his family to Marbella. Relying on his relationship with his brother-in-law, he won the agency rights of Under Armour in Europe, signed a contract with Mobisi, became the exclusive sponsor of the team, and opened its sports goods headquarters in Marbella.

Although the European sports goods market has long been occupied by Adidas and has been deeply rooted, Adidas' influence is mainly in the football world.

Basketball did not have such a great influence in Europe before, so Akagi's business in Marbella has always been acceptable.

However, now that Lin Dong has joined Mobisita, the arrival of the God of Basketball has suddenly set off a basketball fever in Europe. The attention of countless fans has made both Marbella and Mobisita extremely popular.

Akagi Takenori is a pig standing at the outlet of the wind, and he is flying directly. After the news of Lin Dong's joining came out, the sudden expansion of the market in just over half a month made Under Armour's agent sales directly in short supply.

Miyagi Ryouta returned to Xiangbei to become a physical education teacher and basketball team coach, and Caizi became a professional manager, flying back and forth between Marbella and Tokyo in Akagi Takenori's company.

Even Ito Taku actually sold his Japanese confectionery as a special snack for the B League...

Everyone is more or less moving towards basketball because of love and unwillingness to leave.

Just like what Ito Taku once said, we may not be able to play basketball for a lifetime, but we can always love it for a lifetime.

Hanagata Toru reminded Lin Dong of many old friends. He smiled and walked up to him and hugged him: "Long time no see."

At this time, all the other talents in the stadium noticed Lin Dong's arrival.

"Lin Dong-kun!" Fujima showed a long-lost expression on his face. Although it has been several years, the year he was with Lin Dong was the most important time that supported him to become a professional today.

He learned a lot from Lin Dong, and more importantly, he found faith and goals to stick to.

"Hi, Lin Dong!" Wang Zhizhi smiled and waved at Lin Dong. He had become the main small forward of Mobis last season, averaging 13.2 points per game, and was an indispensable member of the offensive lineup.

If there was no Lin Dong, he really couldn't imagine what he would be reduced to now. Maybe he would return to Bayi, but in a league of the level of CBA, let alone the current improvement, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to even maintain his original level.

Defense is his biggest problem now. Although he has had many problems in the past year of playing in Mobis, he has never paid much attention to it because he has Yi Jianlian as his partner in rotation. The latter's strong defense has covered up a lot of his shortcomings. In other words, he fell in love with this sport because he likes the sound of basketball entering the basket.

But the defeat in this World Championships finally magnified and exposed his shortcomings, which was also a wake-up call for Wang Zhizhi. He did not choose to follow the team, but returned to Mobis in advance to receive Stephen's defense training.

"Brother Lin!" Yi Jianlian, Xu Yong, Chen Jianghua and others shouted in surprise and ran towards him.

Yi Jianlian and Chen Jianghua were very familiar with each other in the national team. They slept in bunk beds and played on the court together. The two did not know their glory in another world. They only knew that at their age at that time, if Lin Dong did not help, they would never be able to play professional basketball so quickly, let alone get the current experience in the high-intensity league.

As for Xu Yong, there is no need to say more.

It was Lin Dong who discovered him from the youth training team, gave him the best conditions, helped him settle down his family, and brought him, a kid who was not even a professional in China, directly to a high-level league like La Liga.

Now to Lin Dong, Xu Yong feels like a brother. Without Lin Dong, he dared not imagine that he could embark on the professional path today so quickly.

Of course, there is one thing he didn't know, that is, under Lin Dong's special care, the team doctor paid special attention to Xu Yong's physical health problems. In another world, the "spine sick central sarcoma" that was not discovered until 2008 due to the onset of the disease had already been discovered in its early symptoms half a year after joining the team the year before last.

Due to early discovery and proper conditioning, it has now been completely freed from the threat of this potential disease.

The same thing happened to Chen Jianghua. In another world, he will suffer a tibia fracture due to injury during a game next year. This seems to be just an accident, but in fact it is because of his fragile body, too hard training, and unprofessional training. Lin Dong asked Stephen to focus on cultivating Chen Jianghua's physical fitness in the past two years. He originally thought that even if he had to give up some improvement in his skills, he had to keep this seedling first and improve his ability to resist injuries.

Unexpectedly, the improvement in physical fitness made this guy burst out with even stronger potential than in another world.

Now in La Liga, he has begun to be famous for his speed, has the title of a small sports car, has good independent offensive ability, and also has a good passing vision. He is already the Dragon Country version of Parker.

Many injuries have been eliminated by Lin Dong in advance. Lin Dong has even bought a second-generation McDavid knee pad and plans to give it to Yao Ming in the form of encouragement during the 2007-08 season.

Of course, it is impossible to clearly explain the effectiveness of knee pads, and the existence of the system cannot be revealed at all, but if Dayao consciously wears them for the sake of the spiritual encouragement of the 'God of Basketball', then all he needs to do is help Dayao block 08's That injury will increase the possibility of defeating the United States in the Olympics...

Everything must be nipped in the bud, and we must have the strongest team and the most complete personnel!

For Japan, the 2008 Olympics may be their peak and last chance. After all, only Lin Dong knows that the rapid progress of Japanese basketball in recent years is entirely due to the intrusion of comic characters. After all, the overall level of Japanese basketball in reality cannot keep up with this. One trip.

But is it not the case for the Dragon Kingdom?

He will eventually come to an end.

What's more, you don't have to wait for the end. If you win the 2008 Olympic championship, you may no longer have any desire to challenge the court like Jordan. Maybe you will also start to retreat behind the scenes, enjoy life and cultivate new players in Dragon Country basketball. A generation has gone.

So, you must try your best this time!

Moebius has a nickname in La Liga, called the Asian Team. In addition to the Dragon Kingdom players, there are naturally many Japanese players.

Shigehiro Mori, Jun Tsuchiya, Eiji Sawabita, Masashi Kawada... Although they were all defeated by Lin Dong, to be honest, today, they can compete with the former god of basketball as opponents. All I feel is the supreme glory, and I regard it as the most valuable experience in my life, motivating me to keep moving forward.

Therefore, this group of people were completely devoted to Lin Dong, and they all excitedly greeted Lin Dong and rushed towards Lin Dong.

"Hi!" Xiandao Akira smiled and waved to Lin Dong from a distance.

To be honest, according to Stephen, who has trained Moebius, he feels that Sendō Akira is the only genius in Japan second only to Sakuragi Hanamichi... He even has more potential than Rukawa Kaede, who played an All-Star performance in the Sonics.

It's a pity that this guy never fully focused on basketball, and the bad fishing habit has penetrated into his bones.

I heard that during the offseason last month, he had just won the annual fishing competition in Marbella. In the words of Hisashi Mitsui, he said: If Sendao could devote all his attention to fishing, If you focus on basketball, you might have already led Moebius into the playoffs.

But... don't worry about that now.

Hisashi Mitsui laughed and came towards Lin Dong: "Hahaha, the first future Grand Slam god in basketball history is here!"

Grand Slam players... There is actually no such term in the basketball world. After all, if you only look at the World Championships, Olympic Games and NBA, then Americans have too many Grand Slams, but other countries have none. Talk about Grand Slams and so on. , seems to have no special meaning.

But it’s different now, because of Lin Dong!

Now all media are boasting that Lin Dong is likely to become the first player in history to win all championships in the NBA, World Championships, Olympic Games and European Leagues.

Only a player who dominates these four major leagues can be called a Grand Slam player.

Although Lin Dongcai has only won one of them now, the NBA championship, if you include the World Youth Championship, it can only count as half of the World Championship.

However, no one would doubt this. After all, this guy is so strong that he has surpassed everyone's understanding of basketball honors.

"HOHOHO! Grand Slam champion!" Others started to cheer.

"Forget the media's nonsense, why are you making noises?" Lin Dong said with a smile: "I didn't win the World Championships, I haven't even won the Olympics, and even the European League hasn't started yet."

"Haha, I'm so humble. You came to Moebius. Don't you already have this year's championship in hand?"

Hana Xingtou pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with a smile: "Just don't pour cold water on us. If you want to stimulate everyone's progress, there is no need to belittle yourself. We don't know your strength yet?"

Lin Dong laughed. Frankly speaking, this was never his goal.

He is already recognized as the god of basketball around the world. Personal honors have no meaning to him. He does not need to rely on those things to prove himself, and it will not improve his worth and historical status.

What he wanted had been told to Sakuragi as early as in Seattle, and now, everything was just moving towards that goal.

I have a lot to do in the past two years, not just playing at Moebius.

Of course, as Hanagata said, there is no need to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Excessive humility can become pride.

"Then let's set a small goal." Lin Dong said with a smile: "Winning the La Liga and European League championships this year."

"Oh yeah!"

"I didn't feel anything when the mistress said this before, but when I heard Lin Dongjun say it today, my God... I feel like I've already seen the trophy!"

"Hahaha, we will be the championship of this year's European League!"

Everyone cheered.

Yes, we have Lin Dong, the god of basketball that no one can beat.

That guy gave too much confidence to the people around him, as if as long as he was there, the team would be able to sweep everything and be unstoppable!

…………

La Liga and European basketball leagues have completely different competition systems from NBA and CBA.

La Liga is the Spanish First Division, the highest level league in Spain, consisting of 20 teams in total, using a points system.

Each season, each team has 38 games, 3 points for a win and 0 points for a loss. The team with the highest points becomes the La Liga champion of that season.

At the same time, the top four teams in La Liga will directly qualify for the Champions League next season, and the fifth and sixth teams will qualify for the Champions League.

The bottom three teams in La Liga will be relegated to the Spanish Second Division, and the top three teams in the Second Division that year can replace the three relegation places and enter La Liga.

The Champions League is composed of 32 teams, which are the top teams from major European leagues. The four major leagues are La Liga, Serie A, Premier League and Bundesliga, each with four teams, Ligue 1 with three teams, and some teams and competitive places from other leagues. The competition system is divided into eight groups of group matches, with four teams in each group. The top two teams in six games enter the knockout stage. The winner of the knockout stage automatically enters the next round, and the final winner is the Champions League champion of that season.

To put it bluntly, the Champions League is equivalent to the playoffs of NBA and CBA.

Such a competition system is closer to the international basketball system. While it is more cruel, it is actually fairer and more competitive. This is the biggest feature of the European League.

Another purpose of Lin Dong joining La Liga Mobis is to learn the competition system of the European League and then promote domestic basketball reform with Lao Li.

For example, the CBA competition system was actually completely learned from the NBA. However, Lao Li's reform of the CBA in the past two years has been deadlocked, offending many people, but he has not seen the results of the CBA reform, nor has he made the CBA a truly competitive league like the NBA. If it were not for the big name that cultivated Lin Dong, the ace, and the historical achievement of the Olympic runner-up, even Lao Li would probably have been unable to sit firmly on his throne of the top leader.

The reason is that the national conditions of Longguo are completely different from those of the United States.

The NBA is due to the intervention of capital. After all, it is American capital, which has sufficient control and autonomy over the entire league, which makes it successful by taking a purely commercial route.

But real capital does not exist in Longguo. The team does not have such a great influence and power. The Basketball Association holds great power and has too much influence on local basketball. This makes the CBA's purely commercial route completely a copycat.

If you want pure business, you can't do it commercially, and you can't go through it thoroughly, because the system does not allow it.

But you want to institutionalize it, but you introduce commercial intervention because you need money, and then the result is completely different because of commercial intervention.

Given the environment of Longguo basketball, if you really want to make the Longguo Basketball League a new look and get on the right track, you still have to start from the root.

That is to divide the power, and not let the Basketball Association have the final say in all matters of Longguo basketball.

To achieve this, the best and most silent way is to learn from the European league system, change the original CBA to a local league in each region, and completely divide the power of CBA to the local level!
