Chapter 46 Japan's NBA Dream

Why does the matter of Hu Lin's draft still have anything to do with Japan?What's the trouble with these Japanese media?Isn't this bullshit then?
This is really not nonsense.However, this was said a long time ago.

Speaking of which, he wants to develop in the NBA. After Boss Stern came to power, he set his sights overseas.There is no way around this, the United States is like this, and it is quite strenuous to think about going further, NFL North American Football League, MLB Major League Baseball...The development of these sports leagues is better than basketball, the NBA really You can't do it well, so going out is the best choice.

It is recognized that the level of basketball in Asia is not high, but there is a market in Asia, where the NBA can make money.

Therefore, the NBA chose an Asian country as a bridgehead to promote itself, and she is Japan!

The reason is very simple. Japan's economy was still good at that time. Although it was miserable by Laomei, it was still the second largest economic entity in the world, which means that there was still money here.Moreover, Japan listens to the words of the United States very much, and the Japanese are more likely to accept American things. Isn't baseball a good example, so basketball should be no problem.

Ever since, a series of market operations began.

Since the 80s, the NBA has spared no effort to cultivate this market. Stern sent the best NBA stars to Japan for activities, and even arranged for the regular season of the NBA to be held in Japan.

For example, Michael Jordan, 'Magic' Johnson, 'Penny' Hardaway, Charles Barkley... These popular superstars have all been to Japan for publicity, and the exchanges between the two sides are very, very many.

The NBA is not in vain, her popularity in Japan is definitely exaggerated.

The simplest example, the manga "Slam Dunk" mentioned before, right? It was produced under this background. The author, Takehiko Inoue, was even authorized by the NBA, and most of the characters in it were designed according to the prototype of the NBA. Sure, don't you think that Zebei looks a lot like 'Penny' Hardaway?including hairstyles.

So, this really created a national craze, but, but ah.

It's a pity, people in this country, everyone understands it, do you need to say it so clearly?
That's right, the size is not good!
The Japanese cannot enter the NBA!It’s not a problem that you can only watch but not participate. To be honest, Stern is worried for Japan, but the innate conditions are there, and it’s useless for you to be anxious!
But, but again.

He's not tall enough, we can flirt.

Therefore, basketball fans in Japan, that is, NBA fans, they uphold a belief that position control determines everything!This actually starts with a game.

In 1990, the NBA arranged a regular season in Japan, which was also the first regular season in Asia. Even though the NBA has such a good attitude towards China, it has never arranged for any other Asian country to hold a regular season.

The game is between the Phoenix Suns and the Utah Jazz.

One of the Suns' point guards shocked the whole of Japan, and he was Kevin Johnson.

In fact, the main reason is that Kevin Johnson is only 1 meters, and with such a height, he can not only rush into the inside to hack dunks, but also activate the team's offense from the outside, which is simply omnipotent.

As a result, the Japanese saw hope and saw the hope of entering the NBA!
They started to cultivate point guards crazily, let alone, there is really a person who is very close to the NBA.

Tian Wo Yongtai.

If you are interested in this person, you can read his resume. He played with Jordan when he was 15 years old. The Japanese are definitely deliberate.

In 03, Tianwo Yongta signed with the Nuggets, but unfortunately he was waived before the start of the regular season.This kind of contract is a training contract, that is, if you fail the draft, you will participate in the summer league and pre-season training camp.Signed as a rookie free agent, that is, a non-guaranteed contract.

In fact, Tian Woyongta is still far away from the NBA because of his height. Although his sense of the ball, speed, passing, and shooting are all very good, it is a pity that he is only 175 cm. Although visually, this height is definitely a lot of moisture !It seems that the field bed is at most 172, and it still wears shoes.The disadvantage in terms of physical fitness is too great, which makes Tian Wo's shortcomings infinitely magnified. His defense is like air, and it is difficult to make a difference in the NBA no matter how fast he is.

Speaking of this, I guess everyone should understand.

What makes the Japanese media worry is that Hu Lin can play the point guard. Although he played a small forward in the Liaoning team, Hu Lin insisted that he should play the point guard. Therefore, he also reported this when he introduced himself. .

Hold position!This is the only hope for the Japanese to enter the NBA!

The first Asian to enter the NBA is already a Chinese, and the first point guard to enter the NBA must be a Japanese!

This is not only the perception of the Japanese media, but also the hope of basketball lovers all over Japan.

"Betrayed! The NBA betrayed Nihong again!" This is according to what the first Asian in the NBA said before.

"Doomsday! The doomsday of the Japanese basketball world! The NBA has chosen a Chinese defender!" The media was already desperate.

"Tianwo! Genital!" The words are concise and to the point.

"Being surpassed by China again, the Chinese will rule all of Asia!" This is advocating threat theory.

"The United States has abandoned Japan!" This directly rose to a political level.

After that, more newspapers and networks joined in.In short, Japan is in trouble.

It's a pity that Hu Lin doesn't know what's going on in Japan. He doesn't know whether he is half popular in China or not, but he is more popular in Japan. Of course, most of them are negative.

However, Hu Lin didn't know, and domestic fans didn't know that he didn't wear a watch.

Although, these days, if you want to take a stroll around the outside website, you have to go over the wall, but there are always those warriors who are willing to take risks.Therefore, the media trends of the mud bombing country can easily be detected by the powerful Chinese netizens.

Original poster: Hu Lin's entry into the NBA sparked heated discussions in the Chinese media.

Content: A few days ago, Chinese basketball player Hu Lin was selected by the American NBA team Spurs and traded to New York.This matter is a good thing for the Chinese basketball community, but the most talked about is Ni Hongguo. ...

2nd Floor: Your sister's landlord!Is there such an exaggeration?

3rd Floor: The Law of the Second Floor!

4th floor: The second floor is bumpy.

Floor 5: Is there anyone who doesn't know about Hu Lin these days?
Floor 6: I'm on the second floor, I mean, it's too exaggerated, why are you so anxious.

7th floor: Don't you understand upstairs?Little Japan hopes that their own people can enter the NBA, but they only hope to enter the guard, but this time they let Hu Lin take the lead. Can they not be in a hurry?

8th Floor: It is said that this news has aroused the pessimism of the people of Nibo, and the suicide rate has risen again.

This time, Hu Lin became even more popular on the Internet. Among other things, he is almost equivalent to an anti-Japanese hero!That's right, he is an anti-Japanese hero!

Later, this matter was not only a hot topic on the forum, but also a big website published a special report.

The opinions of most people, including of course many experts and scholars, hope that Hu Lin can enter the NBA, so that he will directly eliminate the idea of ​​​​the country.If you don't want to be obscene and hurt your body, we have to care about this neighbor.

Of course, Hu Lin doesn't know about things on the Internet, because this guy hasn't bought a computer yet in order not to masturbate, and the key is that he has no chance to play.

In addition, after Hu Lin returned to China, he was approached by many media to do an exclusive interview, but he wanted to keep a low profile, so he refused all of them, so he doesn't know how popular he is now.

It's just that there is a more important thing to solve now, even if Hu Lin knows that he is angry, he doesn't have the time to pay attention to it.
