00:29The winner is...
00:31Yuta Wakabayashi!
00:37Just before the match,
00:39he was called by his name,
00:40but he was not there.
00:44Yuta!
00:47Where's Yuta?
00:48Where's Yuta?
00:49Yuta!
00:50Where's Yuta?
00:51Huh?
00:52Where's Yuta?
00:55Where's Yuta?
00:56I'll be there in time.
01:00Yuta Watanabe was in the washroom.
01:11As if nothing had happened,
01:13he jumped out on the court.
01:15Once again, Yuta Watanabe!
01:21It was big news that he moved from the NBA to the Japanese B-League.
01:27Yuta Wakabayashi!
01:31Where's Yuta?
01:33Where's Yuta?
01:35Where's Yuta?
01:37Where's Yuta?
01:39Where's Yuta?
01:41Where's Yuta?
01:43Where's Yuta?
01:48You're so good.
01:50You're so good.
01:52Be careful not to get hurt.
01:54Thank you, I'll be careful.
01:56Wow!
01:59He played basketball in the NBA for six years.
02:05It was the longest record for a Japanese player.
02:10He suddenly decided to return to the NBA 30 years ago.
02:18In fact, he had a one-year contract in the NBA.
02:25Watanabe had a sincere desire to protect it.
02:33In the NBA,
02:36it was like a tool to survive.
02:40I felt like I was facing basketball
02:44in a different way than before.
02:49If I continue,
02:51I think I'll go to a really bad place.
02:55The fact that I like basketball
02:57hasn't changed for a long time.
02:59I want to get it back.
03:03Let's go!
03:08Re-start.
03:11But the accident was too late.
03:22Even this barrier
03:24seemed like a necessary process to regain himself.
03:33He said.
03:35If he gave up,
03:37the game would be over.
03:44Last August,
03:47Watanabe, who made a mark in the Japanese pro basketball B-League,
03:52joined the team.
03:59Good morning.
04:02It's finally starting.
04:04There are a lot of people I've never met before.
04:08But there are people I know.
04:11I'm pretty nervous right now.
04:14In the B-League,
04:16where 38 teams compete,
04:18Watanabe chose Chiba Jets.
04:23Chiba Jets
04:28Five Japanese players
04:30compete for the position of the team.
04:33It's a fierce competition.
04:40Nice to meet you.
04:42I'm Watanabe.
04:44Nice to meet you.
04:46I've heard of you.
04:48I'm looking forward to it.
04:51He is 2.6 meters tall.
04:54He is expected to use techniques he learned in the NBA.
05:03Watanabe's three-point shot is an unparalleled three-point shot.
05:15Power play under the ball was also required in Japan.
05:21Wow!
05:29The team was aiming for a win for the first time in four seasons.
05:42He broke it and challenged the model.
05:46The star player who returned to the U.S.
05:49has been pulling it since before the opening.
05:55Oh, that's cool.
05:57It's like a little higher.
05:59That's right.
06:01That's cool.
06:09October
06:11Watanabe's Chiba Jets
06:14The opening match was held at the base.
06:17There were 10,000 spectators at the venue.
06:20It was the largest number of people to enter the club ever.
06:27Watanabe, who has 100 matches in a row, seemed to be nervous.
06:33I may not make it in time again.
06:38What are you doing there?
06:40Toilet.
06:43Toilet?
06:49I've been to the toilet many times, but I can't keep up with the time.
06:571 hour and 20 minutes?
06:59I'll make it in time.
07:09Yuta!
07:10I'm in the toilet.
07:13What time is it now?
07:17He's got a good routine.
07:19Let's go.
07:28Yuta Watanabe
07:30Yuta Watanabe Step Back 3
07:33A three-point shot that he's good at instead of a greeting.
07:38The ball gathers in Watanabe.
07:41Yuta!
07:45Yuta!
07:49Yuta!
07:56Yuta!
08:03Yuta!
08:08Yuta!
08:11The venue was also on fire.
08:22On this day, he scored 16 points.
08:26He led the team to victory in the opening match.
08:34Come on, man!
08:36Yeah!
08:39Thank you for your hard work.
08:41Thank you for your hard work.
08:43It smells really good.
08:48He's being hung up on the smell.
08:55Soba or udon?
08:57Soba or udon.
08:59Isn't this udon?
09:01Of course.
09:03I told you.
09:05I told you.
09:08It's not a business udon.
09:10It's a real udon.
09:14His hometown is Kagawa prefecture.
09:28I've never eaten soba before.
09:31He started playing basketball
09:33because of his parents,
09:35who were professional players.
09:37He started playing basketball
09:39when he was in the first grade of elementary school.
09:45He always led the team
09:47with his blessed height.
09:54Whether it's early or late,
09:56he played basketball every day.
09:58After graduating from high school,
10:01he studied in the U.S.
10:05And in 2018,
10:07he entered the NBA, his dream.
10:11He was the second Japanese player
10:13to play for the Tabu Seiyuuta.
10:18However,
10:20he was treated like a pawn.
10:22He began to feel confused.
10:24When I was shooting alone,
10:26I didn't feel any discomfort.
10:28I could move my body.
10:30But when I stepped into the court
10:32to play a game,
10:34all my muscles were stiff.
10:36I felt like I had a lead on my body.
10:38If I continue like this,
10:40I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:42I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:44I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:46I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:48I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:50I think I'll go to a bad place.
10:53I want to play my favorite basketball
10:55in a new environment.
11:05He wanted to regain
11:07his love for basketball.
11:11Watanabe came back home
11:13and lives with his wife.
11:23She's basically my wife.
11:25I don't know much about her.
11:27I decide
11:29what to put
11:31where.
11:35I brought home
11:37everything I used
11:39in the U.S.
11:41I got a plate
11:43from a locker
11:45in the U.S.
11:47but I don't wear it.
11:50Watanabe thinks
11:52he's fat.
11:56At home,
11:58he plays video games all the time.
12:08I have to
12:10look at
12:12different places
12:14when I play video games.
12:16I think
12:19it's a good
12:21training for my eyes.
12:25I'm telling myself
12:27that I have to play video games.
12:33The second round
12:35was about to start again.
12:39Watanabe was attacked
12:41by an accident
12:43in the 6th inning.
12:49Go, go, go!
12:51Go green!
12:53Go green!
12:57He plays with
12:59the Japanese national team
13:01Hiejima.
13:05He twisted his left ankle.
13:14Tommy!
13:16Tommy!
13:19He's strong.
13:31He lost his balance.
13:49I can't play anymore.
13:51I have to go to the hospital
13:53after the game.
14:09Three hours later,
14:11Watanabe came back
14:13from the hospital.
14:19Watanabe's condition
14:21is getting worse.
14:25How is your condition?
14:27It's a grade 3 injury.
14:29It's the worst
14:31in terms of judo.
14:33I think it's about
14:35four to six weeks.
14:37No matter how careful
14:39I am,
14:41I get injured.
14:43I can't help
14:45feeling depressed.
14:48I called the hospital
14:50right away.
14:52It's not my fault.
14:56Watanabe was more concerned
14:58about his opponent
15:00than his injury.
15:04However,
15:06he has to leave the game.
15:09B-League
15:17The B-League
15:19lasts for eight months.
15:21He wanted to come back
15:23as soon as possible during the season.
15:25I'll go in slowly.
15:33Oxygen therapy
15:36Oxygen therapy
15:38is said to help
15:40the injured part
15:42recover.
15:54Two weeks after the injury,
15:56Watanabe was able
15:58to walk without
16:00a cane.
16:06Even if he couldn't leave the game,
16:08he wanted to be a part of the team.
16:22By calmly analyzing the game
16:24from the bench,
16:26he was trying to contribute
16:28to the team's victory.
16:35He was able to win the game
16:37thanks to his team's support.
16:40He's now playing for his family.
16:49My team always says
16:51that we're like family.
16:53My family is here
16:55and I want to be a part of them.
16:57I want to be a part of the team
16:59and a part of the family.
17:01I just want to be with him
17:03The recovery of the injury was going well.
17:12Medoga has recovered and is more focused on his training.
17:18He seems to have resolved the frustration of not being able to participate in the match with a hard menu.
17:30Medoga seems to have been able to overcome the frustration of not being able to participate in the match with a hard menu.
18:00Watanabe has not lost his position.
18:07Kanechika, who is also a forward, is also an experienced Japanese representative.
18:15However, he was active in communicating with young people.
18:30Kanechika, who is also a forward, is also an experienced Japanese representative.
18:39I'm going to talk about basketball.

19:39A match with Ryukyu Golden Kings at home.
19:45Watanabe has finally returned to the court.
19:52A skillful defense.
19:55And a bold dunk shot.
20:04The team won the game.
20:11However, there was a disappointing defeat.
20:22A loud voice echoes in the locker room.
20:28We win together, we lose together.
20:31We just made a lucky shot. That was a good defense.
20:35We should have won, but we got one from it.
20:41We should have won, but we got one from it.
20:50There was basketball that he wanted to play.
20:58Last year's Shiwasu won the first half of the season.
21:07The team received a surprise gift.
21:15Watanabe prepared it.
21:28A surprise gift for Watanabe.
21:32Which color do you like?
21:34I don't know. Surprise me.
21:37I got you white.
21:40Blanket. It's getting cold outside.
21:46Merry Christmas.
21:52I appreciate it, man.
21:54Watanabe said the team was a family.
22:00Blanket.
22:02It's cute.
22:04It's comfortable.
22:15The All-Star Game was held last week.
22:20Watanabe was a star.
22:24No.1, Yuta Watanabe.
22:38The All-Star Game of the B-League.
22:41Watanabe was chosen as the number one player by the fan vote.
22:48He was serious at the festival, too.
22:53He was serious.
23:15He enjoyed it.
23:23He didn't hesitate.
23:26He was ready.
23:42It was a lot of fun.
23:45There was no pressure.
23:47It was like a basketball game.
23:50I enjoyed basketball without any pressure.
23:55It's been a long time.
23:59When I started playing basketball, I was like this.
24:02I didn't think about anything.
24:05I just played the basketball in front of me.
24:09I was happy when I decided to shoot.
24:12I realized again that this is basketball.
24:17His words were full of love for basketball.
24:23The season will continue.
24:28Next time on Jounetsu Tairiku,
24:30An-Girls' Tanaka Taxi.
24:33He's been looking for a reason to be on TV.
24:36It's been a year.
24:38I think I'm too serious as an entertainer.
24:46Next time on Jounetsu Tairiku,
24:49An-Girls' Tanaka Taxi.
