先週末にBJリーグの富山グラウジーズというプロのバスケットボールのチームが長野県にExhibitionの試合をやりました。夜は亀清にお泊りになった。長野県にもプロ・バスケットのチームが出来るように努力している「長野県ｂｊリーグ参入協議会」が富山のチームを呼びました。
もちろん、子供のころからず～っとバスケットをやっていた私が応援します。信州にもプロのバスケットを！
Last weekend the Toyama Grouses professional basketball team of the bj League played an exhibition game in Nagano. After the game, they came to Kamesei Ryokan to spend the night. A group of businessmen have put together an organization to promote bringing professional basketball to Nagano. Me having hooped from my childhood on, of course I'm in favor of a local pro team.
Now, you're probably asking yourself, "Grouses? What kind of name is that for a hoops team?" And, "Can't 'Basketball Japan' come up with a better acronym?" Valid questions. And I'm not sure what the answers are. All I can suggest is maybe Pro Basketball Japan -- PBJ. But then that would get me hungry for sandwiches...
Anyways, we thank Coach C.J. and the players for coming to Kamesei.
