v2 Chapter 39: : Tranquility before the war

"Resurrection of the giants, the strongest lineup in the country is revealed! 21 hits, 14 points! Where is the end of Wang Zhe Qing Dao High School? 》

"Champion candidate, Xibang bloodbath giant Osaka Kiryu High School, super monster Sano Shuzo scored three home runs! 》

"Tuan Hiromi's cry, the giant Osaka Kiryu stopped in the second round of Koshien"

...

On the day the second round of Jiaziyuan ended, the Internet exploded.

On the official website of Jiaziyuan, various messages are dizzying.

The next morning, in the dormitory where Qingdao High School was located, there were several newspapers commenting on Koshien.

Sometimes you have to admire the efficiency of modern people, even typesetting and printing, including distribution...

After a night of work and ten hours, they completed it.

"In the face of emerging media, it seems that traditional media are also under great pressure."

Sawamura happily took one of the newspapers and read it.

In this newspaper alone, three articles by Qingdo, Saibong, and Osaka Kiryu were recorded in detail.

It seems that for reporters, the promotion and defeat of these three schools are super big news that grabs everyone's attention.

The contents of several other newspapers are also similar.

But a very interesting point is about the showdown between Qingdo and Xibong High School.

Sawamura had thought that this would definitely be breaking news.

I didn't expect the newspaper's comments, but only a few lines, and then left a highly anticipated at the end.

Professional comments and strength comparisons, not a word.

"It's weird!"

Sawamura, who was amazed, flipped through several other newspapers. The content inside was exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

About yesterday's game, the writing is very detailed. As for the strength comparison between Qingdao High School and Xibang High School, there is also no mention of the above.

"Could it be that these journalists have changed their temperament?"

Sawamura, who often deals with the media, is also puzzled by this phenomenon.

"These documents in the dormitory are professional and authoritative. Of course, they don't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of being slapped in the face."

Ochiai got up later than Sawamura and the others. By the time he got up, Sawamura and the others had already started to eat.

At that time, Sawamura was discussing his doubts with Master Chris and Miyuki.

Ochiai suddenly appeared and analyzed.

Sawamura was not surprised by Coach Ochiai's style of suddenly interjecting.

Instead, Chris and Miyuki were a little cautious, stood up politely, and greeted Ochiai.

"Analyze the situation, won't you be slapped in the face?"

After saying hello, Sawamura continued to ask.

In his impression, the media generally like to make the game rattling. Even if it is a competition with a relatively large gap in strength, it will become the same kind of **** anime promotional film.

Friends who like to play The King of Fighters must not be unfamiliar with that picture. All the players were lined up, and then they were taken out one by one for strength comparison.

It's as if the two sides are going to have a one-on-one King of Fighters heads-up, not a baseball game.

As 16 into 8, the most watched game. Sawamura originally thought that the organizers would definitely do this.

Unexpectedly, the organizer did the opposite, and there is no intention to publicize it at all.

"Of course it may be slapped in the face! In this tournament, the offensive strength we showed with Xibong was too strong, beyond the imagination of those media. We scored 14 points and 21 hits. Xibong High School also won 11 points, and their opponent is the giant Osaka Kiryu. Not to mention, both of our ace are star pitchers who have not dropped any points so far. It's as if both sides have the strongest spear and the strongest shield , come to pk each other. The situation of the game is completely unpredictable! It may be a difficult pitching battle, it may be a fight against each other, and it may even be a unilateral slaughter game. If it is a detailed professional analysis , In any case, there must be a general explanation of the result. How can they predict this result? How to predict this result so that they will not be slapped in the face?"

There was a sneer on Ochiai's face: "Which one of the newspapers that can be placed here for the first time is not authoritative? Authority has the advantages of authority, but of course it also has its limitations. If you want to see a specific strength analysis, you should There are a lot of posts. It is estimated that there are all kinds of statements in there, but unfortunately there is no reference value at all."

It seems that it is really the case after being said by him in such a long-winded manner.

If you really want to find strength comparison and analysis, enthusiastic netizens do not know how many posts have been posted on the Internet. Just these posts, I am afraid there is really no reference value at all.

"After dinner, go to the hall for a meeting."

Just as Ochiai was chatting with Sawamura and the others, Minister Ota came out of the house where he lived and instructed.

"Yes!"

The schedule of Jiaziyuan is very intensive, with an average of one game every two days. Tomorrow is the day of the match between Qingdao High School and Xibang High School. At this time, it is too late to carry out targeted training.

There is no time to carry out targeted training, everyone can only train adaptively to prevent their bodies from rusting, and then squat in the hall, studying the tactics to deal with Xibang High School After eating, Sawamura moved his body.

"Eijun-san, there's a meeting."

Kominato Chunichi didn't know when he came behind him and asked him to go to a meeting.

"it is good!"

Sawamura agreed with a smile, and when he turned around, he saw the sullen face of Haruichi Kominato.

Before entering the Koshien Garden, although Kominato Haruichi was not very talkative, he should be in a happy mood every day.

As a friend, Sawamura could feel it.

Strangely, after entering Jiaziyuan, he became inexplicably sentimental.

"What's wrong?"

Sawamura asked with concern.

"nothing."

Kominato Haruichi replied.

That means there is something, and it is more difficult.

With a sigh in his heart, Sawamura continued to ask, "Is it because you didn't play?"

In yesterday's game, the substitutes for the third year of Qingdao High School, including the substitutes for the second year, all played.

Supervisor Kataoka made a lot of changes at the last moment. Except for Sawamura, other positions were basically changed.

In the rest area, no one was able to play, only Miyuki and Kominato Haruichi.

Miyuki had already played as a catcher in the first game before, against Konan High School in Okinawa, and played the entire game.

So far, in the 18-member roster of the Qingdao High School First Army, the only one who has not played in Jiaziyuan is Kominato Chunichi.

Although it's not that he didn't understand it, Director Kataoka's painstaking efforts.

He probably thinks the third-year players have no chance other than this one. Conversely, first-year players shouldn't be too anxious.

Kataoka is confident to bring Sawamura and the others back to Koshien again this time.

This matter, Sawamura's original Kominato Haru City should also understand. Just putting it on himself may be a little unbearable.
