New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 177 Arriving in Kyoto
The gentlemanly performance of the Bruins on the court also conquered the British basketball fans.

"Stay a few more days, London loves you!"

"Thank you, but our schedule is quite rushed, and we still have two Asian cities to go."

The person in charge of the NCAA stationed in the UK replied politely.

Naturally, Wacker would not say such a thing, because being able to accept the tacit understanding of a friendly match with his head pressed is already the limit.

It doesn't matter to Zhang Yi and others. This kind of competition has nothing to do with the outcome recently. It is the best result if it can end normally without conflict.

Their next opponent is the Kyoto Basketball Team, the top team in Japan's **L League.

As a famous ancient cultural city in Japan, the Kyoto basketball team has become the most powerful team in the Asian Basketball League despite its short period of establishment.

And they are proud of not having any foreign aid in the team. The Japanese basketball level has always been in the third tier in the world.

Until today, the Japanese national team even has the momentum to catch up with European teams by virtue of more delicate technology.

Four of the starting five members of this Kyoto basketball team are members of the national team, which shows how terrifying their strength is.

Because the game with the Bruins played a role of friendship exchange, the Japanese side made arrangements from reception to various affairs in an orderly manner.

Perhaps because of the long time spent in Europe and the United States, Zhang Yi felt a sense of familiarity as soon as he left the Kyoto airport.

"Hey, Yi, how does this city resemble your hometown?"

Wall-E, Robert and others also felt this way.

However, Zhang Yi shook his head, "It's just that the skin looks like flesh, but it feels very comfortable here."

After the group of them ate the Japanese food arranged by the Japanese side, they found an extra meal at a Dagong restaurant as usual.

Although the food is completely different, the Dagong cuisine improved by the Japanese also has a special flavor.

"Why are we here to play a game? It's almost the same as calling it a public-funded tour for food and drink."

Robert said while eating Japanese mapo tofu excitedly.

Zhang Yi reminded him to be careful of enteritis after eating sashimi and spicy food.But eating like him is not one or two.

Overnight, ten of the 15 players on the Bruins team felt sick to their stomachs.

Only Zhang Yi and Ezcalio are left in the starting lineup. "I told you already."

Robert, who took the lead in diarrhea, was about to burst into tears, "I don't blame the mapo tofu, it's all because of the sashimi greedy!"

The same is true for Wall-E, their faces are all pale, and they will definitely not be able to play in the evening game.

But this is not a big problem. For these children, eating a bad stomach means suffering for a day, and taking some medicine will be fine tomorrow.

Wacker didn't lose his temper.

The staff of the NCAA also proposed the postponement of the game, and the person in charge of the Kyoto basketball team looked embarrassed.

"Because there are still official games, it may be more troublesome to adjust the time."

Wacker interrupted suddenly, "No problem, our side can play."

"But, don't you only have five players left?"

"It's enough to make enough starters. Anyway, this game is just a tacit ball, right?"

When Bevac said this, the NCAA had no choice but to agree. He could only pray in his heart that the kids of the Bruins would not have any problems on the court, otherwise he would be annoyed to death by the "Smiling Butcher"...

It is enough for Zhang Yi to bring Escalio to deal with ordinary teams, but it is also difficult to support the Kyoto basketball team with strong opponents.

His number of fans in Japan is second only to the Grand Duke and the United States.

Before the game started, players from the Super Basketball League followed the Bruins and asked Zhang Yi for his autograph.

Therefore, the news that a player on their side fell ill with gastritis spread from the mouths of fans.

Coupled with the announcement of coach Wacker's announcement that the game will be held as scheduled, a large number of Japanese fans supported it.

A team with such a strong style of play deserves respect even if it is an enemy, this is the concept in their minds.

Conversely, before the game, no one thought that the Bruins could play well. After all, the university team and the country's top teams are not at the same level.

Even with the example of the Milan Olympic basketball team and the London Qihong team, the strength of the Bruins is still underestimated.

Coupled with this accident, many people looked down on the American team, and some people even posted score guesses on the Internet.

People who bet on the Bruins to lose by 80 points or more actually stood at more than [-]%, which shows that these Japanese keyboard warriors are confident in the strength of the Kyoto team.

This kind of news naturally reached Wacker's ears. Of course, he didn't take it seriously, but he still told Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi before the game, "Play well, lead if you can lead, and give them the victory in the end..."

Although it was a live broadcast across the country, none of the main players of the Kyoto basketball team were on the show at the beginning.

After all, there is the premise that many of the opponent's main players can't play, so they can justify it.

The Bruins have a coaching staff led by Wacker, accompanied by only five players, which also looks miserable.

It's just that Zhang Yi and Escarel didn't care about it. Anyway, the two of them have been approved by the coach and can play freely.

At the beginning of the game, although the Kyoto basketball team jumped off the ball, when it was passed to their point guard, Escalo passed the pre-judgment and succeeded!

He didn't attack by himself either, because Zhang Yi had rushed to the opponent's basket in the blink of an eye...

I saw Escal slightly throwing his hand, and the basketball drew a perfect curve in the air and landed in the hands of Zhang Yi who took off!
"The first down of the kickoff is the alley-oop!"

The audience went crazy, because the strength of Zhang Yi's duo was obviously not at the same level as these people on the field.

The ensuing match also overwhelmingly became a performance for the two of them.

The keyboard warriors who watched the game online were also stupid. Even if the capital didn't send the main players, in their opinion, the Bruins should not even be able to win against the bench.

Unexpectedly, my home team was smashed into a wreck by two 19-year-old boys in an instant...

After one quarter, the Bruins easily stretched the score to double digits, and this was a sign of Zhang Yi and Esgar's intentional release.

In the second quarter, the two of them played more casually and kept performing alley-oops. The Bruins should be renamed the Flying Bears!
At the end of the first half, they had a [-]-point lead over the Kyoto team.

The Kyoto coaching staff is going crazy. They were not the main players at the beginning, but now if they change players out of fear of losing, it would be embarrassing even if they win in the end.

But the purpose of Zhang Yi and others is of course to see the level of Japanese national players.

So during the intermission, Wacker deliberately walked to Kyoto to let them play the main force.

With this step, Kyoto put on its own starting five tigers.

The second half of the game finally started, and Zhang Yi faced Japan's strongest ace small forward Gongmae.

"I heard that you are very strong? Don't be polite, attack here!" Hearing what Gongqian said, Zhang Yi raised his mouth, "Okay!"
