"It's feels great! It's a real honor to be out there on the court for this Team. This is a day I've been dreaming of My entire life. And to see it finally happening has been just Amazing." -Kaede Rukawa's thought on his NBA Debut


-Even though his didn't made a big impact in his 1st game in the NBA, He surely impressed his Teammates and the Fans with his good Shot Selection and good decision making with the ball, His Attractive Appearance is also a "PLUS" Factor, once he Step inside the Court, all the Girls Attention are set to Him.

After their 1st Victory for their 1st game of the Season, the whole Chicago Bulls went to Celebrate in the down town of OKC but Kaede Rukawa choose to went straight to their Hotel Room to take a rest, his nature of being a Lone-Wolf is one of his Attributes since High School days. His Teammates understand their Rookie but they reminded him that Team Chemistry inside & outside the Court are really Important. Kaede Rukawa proceeds in his Hotel Room, thinking about his performance in his Debut as a NBA Pro. Back in High School, his 1st game with the Shohoku High is really a memorable one for Him, they've lost against their Rival Team(Ryonan High) but He is so confident back then 'coz he is playing with His close friends. But he didn't felt the same way when he played his 1st NBA Game. He is Asking himself, Why is he so uncomfortable playing the Game that he love more than anything else. Is it because
Kevin Durant is so Tall and Strong that he could barely stop his movement, or Is it Fear of Playing against those Giant American Players? but He knows in himself that the more Pressure puts on him, the More competitive he became.
"But Why?" Rukawa whispered, then suddenly his Cellphone rings, It is an Overseas Call.
Rukawa: Hello?!
Coach Anzai: Congratulations Rukawa! A very Impressive Debut Ho! Ho! Ho! (*Speaking in Japanese Language)
Rukawa: Coach Anzai! Thank you! How are you?!(Rukawa' response with Joy)
Coach Anzai: I'm here in the Hospital, Resting and Waiting for My last day here in Earth. You already know that My condition is not that good even before you've left right?! Well Anyways, I've just saw your 1st game in the TV a while ago, And you don't know how much Happy & Proud I am , seeing My former Team's Ace Player playing in the Biggest Basketball Stage in the Planet. I feel much Stronger now! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Rukawa: I miss you Coach, I miss Everyone there!( The only Words that Rukawa replied to his Coach, He cannot express how much Happy he is while talking to his former Coach)
The Conversation between The Former High School Coach and Former High School Ace Player continues... until they both bid their "Sayonara" to each other.
Rukawa finally found the Answer to his question. He is not afraid to any Taller Defender/Opponent than him, He is not afraid to those Players who are much more Stronger than him. He is just Sad and Alone! He cannot focus because the people that giving him the courage and motivation in every game are so Far away from Him. He did succeed in the College Basketball here in America but it's a different Story now that He is playing in the NBA. He realize that he needs to pick-up Himself and be a better Player than before. He will make his former Teammates and Coach proud of Him. That will be his motivation from now on and He is hoping that some day he will be able to see them again. He also remember what his Chicago Teammate told him a while ago about Team Chemistry, He said to himself
"Maybe it's time to change My Lone-wolf attitude, to become more successful in this NBA World, I will be needing My Teammates and they will be needing Me!" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
