The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 141 Winter Season Debut

In the evening, Coach Anxi hosted a treat, and Old Earl, Stephen and others were also there. They went to have a big meal to celebrate the New Year.

Lin Dong's phone calls kept coming.

Fujima and the others were there to pay New Year's greetings, and those from Akino Temple urged him to return quickly... Of course, Lao Lin was indispensable.

In fact, Lin Dong originally wanted to go back to spend the New Year with Lao Lin, but Lao Lin has been on a business trip recently. It seems that because of the intervention of Hitachi Group, Lao Lin's bank problems have become a bit difficult to deal with, so he has been traveling very frequently recently, making phone calls. Later, Lao Lin was still in Shizuoka.

Of course, in addition to talking to Lao Lintong, the guy in the United States is also indispensable, but then there is no need to chat in the hotel in front of Coach Anxi and the others. Naturally, it is a matter of hiding under the quilt after returning to the dormitory...

The next morning the three of them got on the plane with Coach Anxi.

Everyone is seated together in economy class.

This is a small plane, with two rows of seats on the left and right, each with only three seats. Coach Anzai bought his and Sakuragi's return tickets before he came. Mitsui and Lin Dong chose the seats together, just behind them. But coach Anxi changed the position with just one word.

Let Mitsui and Sakuragi sit in the front, and he and Lin Dong sit in the back.

Seeing the old man sitting next to him happily, Lin Dong felt that he might have something to say to him.

Sure enough, just after taking off, Coach Anxi started talking.

"Your father works at the Kanagawa Bank of Communications branch, right?"

Lin Dong nodded.

Coach Anxi smiled and said: "How is your father's work lately? Are you paying attention?"

"I heard there was some trouble." Lin Dong frowned, not expecting Coach Anxi to suddenly mention his father: "Although my father didn't tell me explicitly, I think it may be related to the failure of the Basketball Association to naturalize me."

"It seems you know a lot." Coach Anxi asked him with a smile: "How do you feel?"

"Next work."

Coach Anxi nodded.

"The Kanagawa Chamber of Commerce did send some messages to all large and medium-sized enterprises in Kanagawa some time ago, asking everyone to support the local banking industry and boycott your father's branch... I got some news that it was indeed the Basketball Association and Hitachi behind it. The group did it.”

"So before I came here yesterday, I had united some small and medium-sized enterprises to refuse to respond, and at the same time, I had transferred all the capital flows of Anke Chain to your father's bank. I think this should be a little help to your father's work. "

Lin Dong was slightly startled, a little surprised.

I was surprised that Coach Anzai would pay attention to such a thing, and I was also surprised that Coach Anzai would go against the tacit understanding of the Japan Chamber of Commerce to support his father's bank.

Speaking of which, Coach Anzai is indeed considered a rich man among ordinary people, but in the Japanese business world, chain brands like Anke Fried Chicken Restaurant have not even been listed on the market, so they have no influence at all, let alone Let alone confronting the Chamber of Commerce.

I don't have much of a relationship with Coach Anxi, and this is not a matter on the basketball court. Coach Anxi would actually choose to help me in this way, which is really unimaginable.

"Thank you." No matter why Coach Anxi wanted to help him, Lin Dong's thanks were still sincere.

"It's impossible to talk about." Coach Anxi said with a smile: "Anke Fried Chicken Restaurant is not a big company even in Kanagawa Prefecture, let alone the Japanese business world. My influence is limited. I have contacted several small businesses. Enterprises are not large enough in terms of capital flow, so they may not be able to help your father's bank survive the difficulties, so there is no need to thank me in advance."

"It's just that I think basketball should be pure. If someone wants to do these unfair things in the name of promoting Japanese basketball, then someone must stand up and say no to them. Regardless of the weight, it is still a voice. "Coach Anxi looked into Lin Dong's eyes and said slowly: "At the same time, I also want to tell you that there are good people and bad people everywhere. I hope you will not have too deep prejudices against Japan because of this. I also hope that you and Sakuragi and the others Don’t let this destroy our friendship..."

"Of course this has nothing to do with Sakuragi and the others." Lin Dong smiled.

Sakuragi Hanamichi in front suddenly lay down on his seat and turned around: "My uncle Dalin is a banker, right? Hahaha, my father used to work in a bank too!"

Coach Anxi laughed. He saw the two guys chatting in front of him just now, but he didn't expect that they were actually eavesdropping.

"Hehehe!" Coach Anxi took out a match list from his pocket, handed it to Sakuragihua and said: "Don't listen to what you shouldn't hear. Here, take a look at the group matchup list for the winter selection, and eavesdrop when you have time. , it’s better to take care of yourself first.”

"Winter selection lineup?" Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes lit up.

Mitsui Tosuke next to him raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Lin Dong, secretly wrote down what he just heard, and then leaned over to look at the match list with Sakuragi.

I saw that the matchup table is divided into ABCD and 4 divisions.

Xiangyang, as the first seed in the summer league, occupies the first seed position on the upper left side and has a bye in the first round.

The second seed is on the lower right side. The position that should have belonged to Hainan was occupied by Sanno Industrial Co., Ltd. because Hainan did not advance to the national competition.

On the upper right side is the No. 4 seed, which belongs to Mingpeng Industries in the top four of the Summer League. On the lower left side is the No. 8 seed, which is occupied by Hakata Shang in the top [-]. After all, although they are both in the top [-], their historical record is better than that of Mingpeng Industrial Co., Ltd. All other teams are better...

The two hurriedly searched for a while, and finally saw Xiangbei's name in the lower right area, far away from Xiangyang. The two of them were relieved.

"Wow hahaha! Dad, you finally drew a good lottery!" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted excitedly.

"Are you happy a little too early?" Mitsui Hisashi's scalp was a little numb: "Look at our opponent."

Sakuragi took a closer look and saw that Shohoku, as a team that did not have a bye, played Toyama's Yaowan Sanshang in the first round, and in the second round they played Higashi Sakura High School, the seventh-placed team in the summer league.

"It's not even strong." He muttered.

"Look at the third round." Hisashi Mitsui pointed to the lower right corner speechlessly, and saw that his opponent was suddenly Sanno Industries.

While the two people in front were chattering, Coach Anxi had already smiled at Lin Dong and said: "Classmate Lin Dong, I would like to ask you to do a small favor."

"You said it." Coach Anxi smiled and said: "Shobei's opponent in the third round is Sanno Industries... You must have paid attention to this Sanno. It is indeed very strong, but I think Shohoku is not without a chance."

"So, come and watch the game between Sanno and Shohoku on the 4th." Coach Anzai lowered his voice slightly: "If Shohoku goes well, you can just sit back and watch, but if Shohoku is in a disadvantage or difficulty... I hope you can be there. Motivate them."

Lin Dong was stunned. Isn't this what you, the coach, should do?

"Haha, you are special. I am just a coach, and you...you are now the god of basketball in the minds of all high school students in Japan." Coach Anzai said with a smile: "I will do everything I can, but in the In some cases, some words you say will be more effective than mine. Of course, if you don’t want to, don’t force it.”

Lin Dong burst into laughter. It seemed that Coach Anxi had really used everything he could to help Xiangbei win.

To be honest, based on the industrial strength of Sanno that I saw in the TV videos, this Shobei team is probably no match.

Although Sakuragi's skills at the basket are quite good, he still loses in terms of tonnage compared to Mori Shigehiro; Akagi is no match for Mori Shigehiro; Rukawa Kaede has not returned to the team, so I don't know where he is; Miyagi Ryota has an obvious upper limit. , it can be seen from this holiday that everyone else has made significant progress, but only Miyagi Ryota is limited by his physical condition, and his progress is quite limited.

Perhaps Hisashi Mitsui, who has returned from special training, is worth looking forward to in Shohoku, but that's it.

But what does that matter? For me, it's just a piece of cake.

"it is good!"

………………

Arriving in Kanagawa at 1 a.m. on January 1st, the opening ceremony of the winter selection had just ended.

Fortunately, these people are not the type who like to join in the fun. If they don't attend the opening ceremony, it's just a wish not to go.

But it made the organizers a little depressed. They originally wanted Lin Dong to speak on behalf of the participating teams at the opening ceremony. After all, he was the MVP of the summer league, but he didn't come...

The only option is to let Fujima from Xiangyang take his place.

Although it makes sense that the captain of the championship team gave a speech at the opening ceremony, such a small episode also triggered all kinds of crazy essays in the media.

——Incredible self-discipline, unimaginable hard work, not even willing to waste a day's training time, this is the blood and bones that create the strongest man in 43 billion!

——The final prize of the winter selection, a spot at the Nike Basketball Summit, Lin Dong has already secured a spot in advance!

——The supreme player in the football world, Xiangyang Lindong! If the mountain king doesn't come out, who can compete with him?

——Give Lin Dong ten minutes and give Kanagawa a legend!

——At 3:9 a.m. on the 30rd, the first show of the winter season, Xiangyang will face Fufang. Will Lin Dong start his 10-minute legend? It will be broadcast live on NHK and Kanagawa TV, let us wait and see!

NHK's full broadcast, winter special, and Kanagawa's local TV station's live broadcast. The two TV stations' live broadcast of a high school basketball game was unprecedented.

On the morning of the 3th.

The first round had already been played yesterday, with teams that had no place in the summer league competing against each other. Although the TV station broadcast one or two games, they were all lackluster.

What the TV station broadcast live was the game in Xiangbei. After all, it was the host team, which replaced the Hainan team. It was somewhat of a concern among the weak teams. It was a pity that the game was not very exciting. They faced a team. The best result in the history of the team was an underdog in the first round, and it was only a small victory of 88:69. Mitsui Hisashi and Rukawa Kaede both returned to the team, but their performance was quite satisfactory and their offensive desire was not strong. Each only surrendered a share of 18 points. and a transcript of 19 points.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on No. 3, Xiangyang who made his debut in the winter trials this morning.

At this time, the whole of Kanagawa was deserted, and the Yokohama Stadium was crowded with people. Even outside the stadium, there were still many fans who could not buy tickets, so that the whole street was blocked.

They are all fans, and many popular legends and 'holy places' have begun to spread around the Yokohama Stadium.

"Look! Opposite is the Royal Garden Hotel, and this is the field where Lin Dongjun played against NBA rookies!" Hearing this, he knew he was a local fan.

"What the hell? When Stern toured Japan before, he didn't fight Xiangyang, did he?"

"Haha, you're from out of town, right?" The locals laughed loudly when they heard this: "It's the NBA rookie team beating our Kanagawa mixed team! Lin Dong, Maki Shinichi, Fujima, and Hanagata Toru are all here! Moreover, we are also I almost won!”

Unfortunately, the out-of-towner who couldn't buy a ticket and couldn't enter the venue said unhappily: "How dare you say that high school students can play against NBA rookies? I remember when we were traveling in friendly matches, those college teams were beaten by NBA rookies. They won a game." It’s over [-] points. Besides, NHK has never reported it.”

"You don't understand this. That's because NHK doesn't want to promote Kanagawa's Lin Dong-kun! Let me 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!"

"Lin Dong! MVP! Lin Dong! MVP!"

The game has not yet started, but the cheers are already rising one after another. There are really too many fans in Lindong, and it is different from the summer league and winter selection county competition.

There were quite a few girl fans at the scene...

After all, this is New Year's Day, and all schools in Kanagawa are on holiday, and with Lin Dong's charm in Kanagawa...

So this Lin Dongming army was assembled who didn't care much about the basketball game. They were chattering and chattering in the gym the whole time, just waiting for Lin Dong to appear!

The names of the teams on both sides of the match have been printed on the electronic scoreboard.

Xiangyang VS Fufang.

There are still 10 minutes left in the countdown...

　The winter selection has begun, which is the end of the slam dunk chapter. Everyone has guessed the plot, but they must write it well and strive to realize a youth dream.
