The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master

Winter tryouts are different from summer leagues.

This is jointly organized by Japan's most influential newspaper media, the Japan Basketball Association and the High School Sports League, with behind-the-scenes support from the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the largest Japanese paid sports channel.

Like the summer league, colleges are the competition unit, but only one team from each county can advance to the national competition. In addition, Japan usually takes the college entrance examination in January. Many star players in their senior year of high school may give up winter selection for the college entrance examination. Therefore, this event is often considered not as exciting as the summer league, and has a relatively small audience in Japan.

However, due to the intervention of mainstream media and the strong capital behind it, the influence of the Japanese college winter trials in the entire Southeast Asia region is far greater than that of their summer leagues in which everyone participates.

To put it bluntly, it is more international, even in the Dragon Kingdom and even throughout Asia, it has a certain degree of spread.

Therefore, even if the summer league fails to attract the attention of the Dragon Kingdom, if it unifies the three major leagues and the Japanese media reports overwhelmingly, it will definitely attract the attention of the Dragon Kingdom basketball community.

In 2000, Longguo youth basketball was not yet an era when colleges and universities were popular. It mainly relied on the youth teams of various professional sports schools and provincial sports bureaus, especially some club youth teams, as the basic support. In fact, it was semi-professional. The latter It is closer to a full-professional level, with relatively more ways to enter, and the level is indeed much higher than that of the Japanese High School League.

Regardless of whether you join well-known sports schools, provincial youth teams, or youth teams of various clubs, you will have the opportunity to be selected into the National Youth Team to play U18, represent the Dragon Country in the Asian Youth Championship, further enhance your reputation, and strive to enter the Dragon Boat Festival before the age of eighteen. The squad for the National Youth World Championships even directly enters the national team.

As long as you enter the national youth team or the national team, the road is completely paved. You can choose to go to Nike or Adidas training camps first, visit the United States and Latin America to practice the old path of your previous life, and go to the NCAA for a year or two to get gold;

You can also have the opportunity to directly get a trial training opportunity with the CBA and enter the profession from a CBA club.

You know, the CBA around 2000 was its heyday. The effect of training here was no worse than that of the NCAA, and you could also earn good income in advance to achieve economic freedom.

From now on, he will follow the path of Yao Ming, the basketball legend of the Dragon Kingdom in his previous life. After playing a dominant performance in the CBA, he will then participate in the NBA draft...

Both routes are good choices, but the prerequisite is that you must leave Japan as soon as possible.

So, time is actually very tight.

I will probably only stay in Japan until the first half of next year.

Not to mention signing a three-year contract with Xiangyang, he wouldn't sign it for even one year.

But now that you are still under someone else's roof, it is not a wise choice to offend the school. It is better to grasp the psychology of the Xiangyang school and get some benefits for yourself.

"Find a better coach and trainer for Xiangyang. Let's talk about the rest after we win the national championship."

This was the compromise choice he made to Xiangyang School.

National champion, when such words fell into the ears of Xiangyang School, they were simply overjoyed. They had never dared to think so before.

As for the so-called "we will talk about it after the national championship", it is probably because the other party wants to use better results as a bargaining chip in order to obtain better guarantee conditions.

What does it matter? The big deal is that the monthly study abroad subsidy will be higher by then, which may also involve personnel changes, structural changes, and even the addition of equipment in the basketball department. But as long as it can help Xiangyang win the national championship, the school obviously thinks that will be enough. is worth it.

So both parties happily reached a new verbal agreement.

As long as Lin Dong helps Xiangyang defeat Hainan and win first place in the Kanagawa Prefecture competition, the school will be responsible for finding the best coach for Xiangyang within a week. At the same time, as long as it is within Japan, Lin Dong no matter what he wants to find He can have the final say on all trainers, and the school is responsible for negotiating and footing the bill.

As for the subsequent guarantee contracts, we will wait until the national competition is over.

...After all, the national competition is different from the county competition, not to mention that this year's national competition in Japan also includes Sanno Industries, which is known as the strongest in history.

You know, last year's Hainan was probably about the same strength as Xiangbei when they played against them, but last year's Sanno Industrial beat them by 30 points.

Not to mention this year's Sanno Kogyo team, which can defeat Japanese university star players. Their loss to Shohoku in the manga is purely plot-killing. Their strengths are not at the same level at all.

The overall performance of Xiangyang is actually slightly worse than that of Xiangbei and Hainan, let alone compared with Sanno.

Not to mention personal abilities, at least in terms of technical and tactical training guidance, tactical movement, etc. When I am recovering from training, I don’t have time to teach the entire Xiangyang team, and I am not that professional. Do you know how to teach others? The same, and Fujima is indeed seriously deficient in this aspect.

The popular saying in basketball circles that "Jordan can win even with my grandma" can only be seen as ridicule.

Do you really want Jordan to take your grandma to an NBA game? If Xiang is not beaten, he will be clean.

In addition, Xiangyang's own willpower is not as good as the cheating Shohoku Five Tigers, so if he really faces the King of Mountains, even if he can kill Eiji Sawabita by then, I am afraid it will be difficult to make up for the loopholes of Xiangyang's entire team.

After all, basketball is a sport for five people. He had seen this kind of thing many times in his previous life.

If Xiangyang wants to ensure that it sweeps the Japanese basketball world, it really needs a good coach.

This is not only reflected in training, but also in observing the situation of both sides at any time during the game and making corresponding adjustments, at least so that the players can fully devote themselves to the game and exert their due strength.

These are all important parts of ensuring victory.

...As for the trainer, it’s his own extra raise.

The Xiangyang School Board of Directors had promised Fujima before that it would arrange a trainer for him once he got the ticket for the national competition. In the eyes of Fujima and others, that was just the icing on the cake.

But for Lin Dong, the role of a trainer is far more than that.

The effect of my recent recovery training has begun to become worse and worse. The reason is that the effect of a person's individual training is limited after all.

An excellent trainer can not only help you correct various technical errors, correct some loopholes in physical behavior and habits that you are not aware of, but more importantly, can also meet the confrontational training that Lin Dong needs.

Most excellent trainers are excellent basketball players themselves. For example, NBA legend Olajuwon became the exclusive trainer of many NBA players after his retirement.

And if you want Lin Dong to feel useful, then the other party must also be a master.

That was far from what the school had promised Fujima before, saying it would help the team find a trainer at will.

It has to be raised a little, or in other words, raised a lot, and the cost will inevitably be very high. Even if Lao Lin has some wealth, Lin Dong will feel sorry for him. Of course, it is better to have sex with Xiangyang School for nothing.

It’s just that you have to pay more attention to media like Basketball Weekly.

Excellent trainers will not come to you on their own initiative, you can only discover them yourself.

Read more newspapers, media, etc., hoping that one day you can see the names of one or two trainers that you are familiar with from your previous life.

It is the author's goal to write excessive chapters. Of course, this chapter does not count^^. Today, Thursday, the time to check the recommendations on the scores has arrived. Although it has just happened to be the most gentle chapter of background explanation, please keep following up. Due to my reading habits, I originally wanted to update one more chapter today, which happens to have a more exciting plot, but the current word count is already a bit too high for a new book, so...

Finally, thank you all for your support~~
