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

Chapter 154 The Collapse of the Japan Basketball Association

A noisy scene, an inconspicuous corner.

A woman in Western business attire sat there with her legs crossed.

The rolled-up hair and neat clothes show her ability as a professional woman;

Her light makeup and thin lenses make her appear wise;

The knee-length professional skirt cannot hide her slender and beautiful legs. The crossed legs, the jade hands that are always placed on the knees, and the slightly raised head make her look like she is not allowed to enter. An aura that cannot be ignored.

A man quickly walked up behind her, leaned over and whispered: "Miss Miyako, as you expected, people from the Basketball Association are here, and Nakanishi Hiroaki's secretary is with them."

Miyako nodded and waved her hand to signal him to leave.

She has been following President Akihito for twenty-one years. Although age has not left many marks on her face, the cruelty of the business war and her loyalty to the Mitsui family have already tempered her heart like steel. , outside, she is not just a secretary of the Mitsui family...

No matter for this family or for President Akihito, she has long surpassed the meaning of an ordinary secretary, and she knows everything about the Mitsui family.

Master Mitsui Hisashi is not only President Akihito's most beloved younger brother, but also a link between President Akihito and the old president. It is the existence of Master Mitsui Hisashi that allows this family to survive to this day, which can be said to be true for Renshe. If I can successfully inherit the family business today, I am afraid that 80% of the credit goes to Master Mitsui Hisashi.

The president and the young master are both brothers and fathers, so if anyone dares to provoke Master Mitsui Hisashi, he is undoubtedly her enemy.

Since I came to Kanagawa this time under the order of the president to cooperate with the Bank of Communications, I naturally wanted to find out the relevant activities of the Basketball Association and Hitachi Group behind them.

If this group of people were just to deal with Lin Dong, she would not cause trouble without the president's instructions, but if she dared to cause any trouble to Master Mitsui Shou...

She took out her mobile phone in the small bag beside her and dialed a number.

…………

Player tunnel, Shohoku locker room...

Ozaki Masatoshi and Nishimura Kameji led four or five people to the door.

Bang bang bang.

Ozaki Masatoshi knocked on the door.

Coach Anxi was making tactical arrangements for the second half in the room. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door, and Coach Anxi's voice paused.

"Who?" Mumu Gongyan, who was closest to the door, opened the door, and then saw Nakanishi Hiroaki's dark face.

Coach Anxi was slightly startled, then frowned.

At this time, when these people came, Coach Anxi could guess their thoughts even with his toes.

This is clearly planned.

Sanno Industries is a team built specifically by these people to defeat Lin Dong. They must have done too much targeted training and even tactical arrangements for Lin Dong and Xiangyang.

They will never sit back and watch Xiangbei defeat Sanno. Even if they only create a threat to Sanno, they will strangle this threat off the field and in the cradle.

As for the means...it's nothing more than coercion and inducement.

If successful, they will give Xiangbei players some good treatment, such as university admission quotas, even cash rewards, or some career plans, etc.

And even if Xiangbei doesn't agree, this group of people can destroy Xiangbei's fighting spirit from another level. They can use their powerful position and the Basketball Association's control and dispatch of national basketball resources, and even their influence on some universities, which is enough to make Xiangbei Everyone is in the second half... Anyway, since this group of people is here, there is no way they will leave empty-handed!

Coach Anzai's thoughts were racing and he stared at them coldly, but before Ozaki Masatoshi could speak.

Jingle Bell……

An untimely phone ringing broke the awkwardness and tranquility of the scene.

Ozaki Masatoshi frowned and glanced behind him. His momentum had already been brewing, and he had obviously suppressed the Shohoku group. Coach Anzai even had a look on his face as if he was facing a formidable enemy. But this phone call... He glanced at it and saw that it was from Hiroaki Nakanishi. He was the financial backer after all, otherwise Ozaki Masatoshi would have cursed loudly by now.

Just when he was about to ignore it, the guy's expression changed slightly and he handed the phone to him.

"President Ozaki, the phone number of the executive..."

At this point in time?

Ozaki Masatoshi frowned, but picked up the phone first.

"Hey?"

"Stop all interference with Shohoku immediately." On the other end of the phone, Hiroaki Nakanishi's voice was decisive and unquestionable: "Otherwise, I will immediately withdraw all financial support for the Basketball Association."

Ozaki Masatoshi was stunned.

What does this... mean? Just 10 minutes ago, when he had just learned the score of the first quarter between Shohoku and Sanno, he had spoken to Hiroaki Nakanishi on the phone. The other party's attitude was one of the important reasons for his trip, but this change of attitude also became too much. almost?

Fortunately, Nakanishi Hiroaki probably knew that he was already in the Shohoku locker room, and his voice was not very loud, so only he could hear it.

Ozaki Masatoshi frowned: "Why?"

"Because there are people in the Shohoku team that you and I can't afford to offend." Nakanishi Hiroaki didn't mean to go around in circles with him, and said quite simply: "If you insist on having your own way, then I have no choice but to cut off my tail to survive!"

Do you want to survive by docking your tail? ! Is this what Hiroaki Nakanishi, who is now at the helm of Hitachi Group, said?

If this phone call hadn't been handed over by his secretary, Ozaki Masatoshi couldn't believe his ears. What kind of existence could make Nakanishi Hiroaki even tremble to survive?

Ozaki Masatoshi was startled and looked at the group of people in the room in surprise.

With such energy, it cannot be Mitsuyoshi Anzai, and the rest are just a bunch of high school students...

"That mountain..." He wanted to say the mountain king, but he immediately realized that 'there is someone in this group of people who can't afford to offend'. After all, Nakanishi Hiroaki's attitude just now frightened him a little, so he stopped the car in time and got off the car. Half of the words were swallowed back in his stomach.

But Hiroaki Nakanishi on the other end of the phone already understood what he meant: "Things have their own priorities. You can go and force Sanno, but don't mess with Shohoku. All the words I just said are still valid. The rest, President Ozaki will watch. Do it!”

beep beep...

There was a busy signal of hanging up on the phone. Ozaki Masatoshi stood there in surprise, looking at the room full of people. They had already brewed full murderous intent just now, neither above nor below.

"President Ozaki, what's the matter?" Coach Anzai saw the gloomy change on Ozaki Masatoshi's face. Although he didn't know the reason, he thought it had something to do with Shohoku, so he stood up and asked deliberately.

"..." The expression on Ozaki Masatoshi's face at this time was wonderful. Embarrassed and frightened, angry and worried, absolutely a mixed bag of emotions. Decades of self-cultivation made him unable to control the expression on his face at this time. His face turned red and he was speechless. .

"Anzai-senpai!" Nishimura Kameji next to him didn't hear the call. Seeing that Ozaki Masatoshi didn't speak, he stood up on his own initiative and said angrily: "We Shohoku's match with Sanno this time..."

"Performed very well!" Ozaki Masatoshi finally reacted and interrupted Nishimura Kameji before he could finish his sentence.

Nishimura Kameji was stunned, and then heard Ozaki Masatoshi say: "Japanese basketball needs you fresh blood, you need you pioneers who are brave enough to move forward!"

"I am Masatoshi Ozaki, the president of the Basketball Association, and I am here to cheer you on..." Masatoshi Ozaki is, after all, Masatoshi Ozaki. Once his thoughts are opened, there is nothing to say: "Your performance in the first half caught everyone's attention. It made fans all over the country feel the charm of basketball, which was beyond our expectation..."

"You performed like this without being favored by the people across the country. As the president of the Basketball Association, I am proud of you! Come on! I look forward to your more heroic performance in the second half. I hope you can defeat Sanno and create a place in the history of Kanagawa basketball. Myth, let everyone feel the charm of basketball! Please!"

After speaking, Ozaki Masatoshi bowed toward the room, and the Shohoku team members were so surprised that they quickly bowed in return.

The next moment, Ozaki Masatoshi had already left quickly with others, not forgetting to give everyone a cheering gesture, and then carefully closed the door to Shohoku...

"Wow, the president of the Basketball Association! He must be a big shot!" Sakuragi Hanamichi said in surprise: "I think he is pretty good, he has a good vision, unlike those guys who only praise the King of the Mountain!"

"Yeah!" Mitsui Shou tilted his head and touched his chin: "It feels like he really wants us to win, and he even came here to cheer..."

“We can’t lose now!”

"Yes! Come on, come on!"

Everyone in the room became excited, but Coach Anxi looked at the closed door in surprise.

I don't understand it a bit...but it feels like a good thing.

"Hehehe!" Coach Anxi also laughed: "Okay, keep working hard, but if you want to win, you have to rely on real strength. Let's continue..."

………………

Player tunnel.

As soon as he closed the door, Ozaki Masatoshi's face turned livid.

The second class Nishimuragami next to him was puzzled, but they didn't wait for them to ask.

"Bring me the Xiangbei player list!"

The person next to him hurriedly handed over the list, and Ozaki Masatoshi quickly scanned all the names on it until he saw No. 14 Mitsui Hisashi.

Mitsui?

Ozaki Masatoshi gasped, he probably guessed what was going on.

His brows furrowed, but Hiroaki Nakanishi had already made it very clear. Just because he couldn't offend Shohoku didn't mean that Sanno couldn't win!

A few minutes later, in the San Kings’ player lounge…

Shohoku's performance in the first half really surprised Sanno. He originally wanted to win the game quickly, but instead he was beaten by the opponent with a high score.

This gap has affected the Sanwang players to a certain extent, which is inevitable.

Goro Domoto felt that in the first half, Sanno, under the influence of this mentality, only played 80% of his strength.

Therefore, before Ozaki Masatoshi and others came in, in addition to explaining the tactical ideas for the second half, he also provided psychological counseling to the players, trying to make them correctly understand what kind of Shohoku team they were playing against. The team is also cheering them on.

When people from the Basketball Association came in, they naturally thought that they were here to cheer and encourage, but they didn't expect that when Ozaki Masatoshi opened his mouth, Goro Domoto was stunned.

"You guys have disappointed me so much. After nearly four months of training in the United States, the Basketball Association has invested so much in you, but you actually let a team with no reputation at all beat you!" Ozaki Masatoshi didn't have time to talk to them. During the warm-up, there were only a few minutes left in the intermission. He said in a cold voice: "I don't care what tactics I have arranged for you. To avoid a long night, just destroy their No. 4 ace as soon as I come on the field in the second half!" Use your elbows, step your feet, whatever you want will do, I guarantee it will not have any impact on your career... and only in this way can we ensure victory in this game!"

"I object!" Goro Domoto finally came to his senses.

When experts from the Basketball Association analyzed Lin Dong, he realized how low the Basketball Association's lower limit was when it came to tactics such as stepping on the feet. But at that time, he just listened and there was no need to object openly. He firmly believed that this mountain king You can win without using this method. There is no need to have a verbal dispute with the Basketball Association over this, but I didn't expect...

Goro Domoto stood up suddenly and interrupted him: "These kids are fully capable of winning Xiangbei, there is no need to rely on those dirty methods! I will never allow it!"

He knows how much the Basketball Association has paid for this battle, and he himself has given everything to defeat Xiangyang. However, he will never allow the spirit of basketball to be tarnished in this way, let alone for the sake of the Basketball Association or some people. For selfish reasons, he led this group of talented children into corruption.

"Then you will be fired from now on!" Ozaki Masatoshi said coldly: "The dismissal order from the Sanno School Board of Directors will be sent to your mailbox tomorrow!"

"But at least I'm still Sanno's coach today!" Goro Domoto said sternly: "It's not your turn to dictate Sanno's tactics!"

"Really?!" Masatoshi Ozaki sneered and turned to look at the other players in the room: "I have a player contract for a professional basketball team here... remember it clearly, since you signed the contract with the Basketball Association, you have No longer just an ordinary high school student, for victory, for honor! Now, who of you is in favor? Who is against?!"

Everyone in the room, look at me, I look at you...

"I don't care," Shigehiro Mori stood up first and walked to Goro Domoto: "But coach, they won't let me pay for the training expenses in the United States afterwards, right?"

"Hahaha!" Goro Domoto laughed and said, "They begged you to go, why should you give it!"

"Oh! Then I'll be relieved!" Mori Shigekuan grinned.

Immediately afterwards, Chun Tsuchiya walked over: "I will fight for my career or something."

Morohoshi stood beside Domoto Goro: "I just want to win Shohoku in an upright manner."

Fukatsu Kazunari sneered: "I don't want to enter the finals with shame!"

Kawada Mikio scratched his head and stood over: "I will be scolded by my brother..."

"And I!"

"I!"

Soon, all the Sanno team members stood beside Domoto Goro, leaving only Ozaki Masatoshi with a shocked and angry face.

These...these youthful fools! Brainless idiot!

It’s all fucking backwards!
