Chapter 28： : challenger

The sun in summer is always annoying.

Kobayashi lay lazily on the sofa, unwilling to move.

"Squeak~"

The sliding door was pushed open, and an unshaven middle-aged man walked out from the bedroom inside.

"Da Lin, are you going out again today?"

Xiaolin asked curiously.

Dalin, like himself, is a standard otaku. In terms of otaku attributes, he is even stronger than himself. Kobayashi's highest record was not going downstairs for three days and staying at home. And Dalin used to stay indoors for two consecutive months without leaving home.

Now, for two consecutive days, they have been running outside.

It's so weird~

"yes!"

Dalin's unshaven face showed a nostalgic smile. Thinking of the team he watched yesterday, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

That team is so interesting.

Although they would inevitably lose when they met Nagano Metropolis, Obayashi still wanted to cheer them on.

He likes Akagi, and he likes to see them play hard and young. Everyone is like a child who has just learned to play baseball, ignoring the outcome and enjoying the game to the fullest.

Even if the players make mistakes, they can tolerate each other.

very nice!

This reminds Dalin of his boyhood. At the time, their team was also very weak, and everyone tolerated each other like this...

"What are you going to do?"

Xiaolin asked in confusion. The expression on Dalin's face was so strange, it was like secretly dating a girlfriend.

The fire of gossip in Kobayashi's heart was ignited, which even defeated his disgust for the heat.

"Go to see baseball!"

Lie, it must be a lie.

Xiaolin looked at Dalin contemptuously, guessing with certainty in his heart. Is it so disgusting to laugh at baseball?

"I'll go with you."

Kobayashi gestured to stand up. In fact, he just frightened the other party, waiting to see how Dalin rejected him in a panic.

"OK!"

Who would have thought, Dalin agreed without any hesitation.

Xiaolin looked at the sun outside and cried silently.

When the two arrived at the Matsumoto Stadium, they saw that a lot of people had already gathered on the pitch.

"I'm going, are these people sick?"

Xiao Lin frowned in dissatisfaction. On such a hot day, it would be tragic enough to accompany Dalin to the stadium. He never expected that he would see so many people who were as tragic as him. On such a hot day, do you not honestly blow the air conditioner at home and come here to bask in the sun? Really sick!

The audience was roughly divided into two camps. One was those who supported Nagano Metropolitan High School. Most of them wore uniform school uniforms and should be students of Nagano Metropolitan High School. Surrounded by the students were the parents of the players, the alumni of Metropolitan High School, and their fans.

There were a total of one or two thousand people, and the entire first base stand was full.

On the other side, it was different. There were not many people, only three or five hundred. It seems that there are old and young people, and they don't wear uniform clothes. Compared with the supporters on the opposite side, they are like a motley crew.

"Here, here!"

Dalin dragged Xiaolin and came to the motley army team.

Xiaolin complained in his heart, this is really a group that fits Dalin's image.

"coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and Xiaolin saw two teams entering the field.

The two teams, one wearing a yellow jersey, looked tall and imposing. The other team has several fewer numbers than the other team, and the jerseys are milky white. The players are tall and short, and they are uneven.

The mental outlook of the two teams looks similar to their supporters.

"This is probably someone, playing with some kind of bird."

Kobayashi complained in his heart.

But before he finished complaining, he found that the rogue army audience on his side suddenly became restless.

"Look at you, Akagi comedy group."

"It's time to show your perfect defense."

"Let the little brats of Nagano Metropolitan also see your nonsense baseball."

……

Kobayashi looked at the crazy fans around him in disbelief, and then looked at Dalin aggrieved.

"Brother, are you sure the people here didn't come out of the mental hospital?"

On the field, in the Nagano Metropolitan High School team.

The team's vice-captain, Xiao Chuan, looked at the audience seat opposite in confusion.

"Is Akagi Middle School so famous?"

Regardless of the supporters of relatives and friends and their own school, the number of fans and supporters of Akagi Middle School can be equal to that of Nagano Metropolis, one of the three kings of Nagano.

Of course the Nagano Metropolitan players couldn't understand it.

"Hmph, he's famous for playing tricks."

Marian, who had braided braids, sneered.

Yesterday, he deliberately ran to provoke him, but he didn't expect to hit cotton with a fist.

Akagi Middle School, like an unknown creature, peeping around him, made him very uncomfortable.

Before the start of the match, the captains of the two teams guessed their fists, and Sawamura once again lost without incident.

Nagano Metropolitan High School, chose to go first.

Before the game officially started, the coaches of both sides cheered on their players.

The team of Nagano Metropolitan High School.

Their coach Feng Xiang Long Yi looked at the surrounding disciples with indifference, and then said, "We want to win!"

"Oh ooh ooh!!!"

The Nagano Metropolitan players roared in unison.

The assistant coach next to him couldn't stand it any longer. Anyway, this was also a quarter-final, an eight-for-four match. Aren't those two words too perfunctory?

"Coach, tactics, do you have any tactics?"

The assistant coach reminded in a low voice.

Feng Xiang Long Yi glanced at him lightly, then nodded.

Assistant coach, I'm relieved I want to win! "

Then he heard Fengxiang Longyi say something that almost made him vomit blood.

To win, and to win!

Facing Akagi Middle School, coach Fengxiang Longyi didn't bother to develop any tactics at all.

In his mind, the two teams are not at the same level at all.

On the other side, Akagi's team.

Before everyone came on stage, Sawamura walked at the front and suddenly turned around and said.

"Don't forget everyone, we are challengers!"

Hearing Sawamura's words, there was no more confusion in the eyes of the little friend.

We are challengers!

Losing is no big deal, winning is all gain.

Let's fight, so what?

"Come on!"

Sawamura said.

Behind him, the little friends walked onto the court one by one with high fighting spirit.

In the first half of the game, Nagano Metropolitan Middle School attacked.

"First, second baseman, Ogawa."

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Ping!"

On the third ball after two consecutive strikes, Ogawa finally swung the bat. He hit the ball five meters to the left of the first baseman, and the baseball landed with a 'pop'.

In front of the baseball, Oda Benson had been ready for battle, lightly picked up the ball into his glove, and returned to first base.

"Get out!"

Ogawa's face was a little ugly.

At the end of the game, he passed by his second club and exchanged information with each other.

"Che, haven't you eaten, Xiaochuan?"

Speaking of which, Xiaochuan really wasn't very good at this ball, he was weak.

Xiaochuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Qiuwei is much heavier than I thought, you'd better be careful."
