v2 Chapter 89： : On the Importance of Interviews (Tribute to Little Pickup)

Without a word, the players of Qingdao High School returned to the dormitory one after another.

take a bath, eat

After these trivial matters were all over, Supervisor Kataoka told everyone in a very bland way that he was going to be interviewed at night.

One stone creates a thousand waves!

As early as when they first entered Koshien, the players of Qingdao High School experienced the madness of the media.

Now that I face it again, my heart is even more mixed.

What to say? How to do? Not to mention the players in the first and second grades, even the seniors in the third grade are extremely nervous.

certainly.

There are also people who are calm. Long before entering Koshien, there were many star players in Qingdao High School.

For example, Chris, who was the No. 1 catcher in Kanto, and Miyuki Kazuya, the savior of Qingdo High School who was highly anticipated just after entering high school.

These players, who were famous in their youth, were obviously a little calmer than others.

The most calm one here is to say the Great Demon King Sawamura Eijun!

Although there is still a big gap between the Softball League and Koshien. But Sawamura was completely immune to all kinds of interviews because of his past life experience.

Looking at Sawamura, who was calm and comfortable, the surrounding partners were also envious and 'jealous'.

As expected of the star player who won the title of No. 1 in the country during his middle school days. The experience of leading the team to dominate the country twice has become Sawamura's most valuable asset.

People who have such experience can face the interview calmly, and these friends from Qingdao High School can understand it.

Others, even the captain, Ryosuke Kominato, were not particularly calm.

This can be seen from their strange performance.

Jicheng has been pulling Miyuki to play chess!

Don't look at the fact that the knot has grown into an invincible face, but when it comes to playing chess, he really can't.

If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be a standard stinky chess basket.

Sawamura had been dropped by his grandfather several times when he was a child. Compared with beginners, his strengths were limited.

But at this level, when you play chess with the captain, you will win more and lose less.

It was a torture to let Miyuki, who was shrewd in calculation, play chess with such a captain.

Ryosuke Kominato chatted with his younger brother. It can be seen that the two brothers communicated very happily. At least Ryosuke Kominato, who is a brother, should feel very happy.

The reaction of these two people seemed to be relatively normal, but their little actions betrayed them.

Even if it was them, they were a little nervous about the upcoming interview.

"is it necessary?"

Kuramochi did not understand this. Although facing the interview, he was also very excited. But after the excitement, it's not how it should be.

Besides, it is not the first time that Qingdo High School has accepted such an interview.

When the Kwantung Conference won the championship before, the media was not without interviews.

As the saying goes, once you are born twice, you have already experienced it once, how can you be so nervous the second time?

"Of course it is necessary!"

Seeing that Kuramochi still looked like a condescending child, as a good friend Sawamura had to teach him a lesson.

"What is necessary?"

Kuramochi asked.

At the same time, in the dormitory where Director Kataoka was staying.

Director Kataoka sat alone on the sofa in the reception room, with Rei Takashima and Coach Ochiai standing opposite him.

"Supervision?"

Takashima Rei hesitated.

Ochiai looked at Kataoka strangely while stroking his moustache.

"There will be an interview in the evening, don't you need to let the players write their manuscripts in advance? For those players in the third year, this is likely to be their stepping stone to college and even a career. If it can impress the audience, For their future..."

Supervisor Kataoka was noncommittal.

The camera pulls back to the dormitory hall.

Sawamura pondered and asked, "How do you think the audience understands the players?"

"Of course by playing!"

Kuramochi said of course.

Sawamura nodded: "That's not bad."

Um?

Kuramochi looked at Sawamura suspiciously, listening to what he meant, was there anything else?

"A baseball player who wants to become famous must have a solid foundation. This foundation has two aspects, one is his own data, and the other is the team's performance. To put it bluntly, it is the performance on the field. A baseball star, especially a professional baseball star, is based on great on-court performance."

"But for a baseball star, it's not enough to have a foundation. There are solid players on the baseball field, and there are players of average reputation. Do you know why?"

Kuramochi may have thought about such a question, but he shook his head again as expected.

"It's propaganda!"

Sawamura said with emotion.

In the past, Zesawa Village suffered a lot in this regard.

"A baseball player wants to be remembered, in addition to hard work on the field, he must also have an image that is not annoying off the field."

Before Sawamura could finish speaking, Kuramochi Yoichi's expression changed.

"Why are you still disguising yourself?"

Sawamura's statement made Kuramochi shudder. Originally, he was thinking of going straight to professional baseball, but at this time he not only hesitated.

"how is this possible?"

Sawamura was also taken aback by Kuramochi's statement. The young man's mind was spinning too fast, and Sawamura couldn't adapt.

"Compared to entertainment stars, sports stars don't have as much exposure As long as they don't make scandals, they usually don't get in the way. Of course, even if they act in front of the media, they can't act for a lifetime. Their own personality cannot be concealed. , and what we have to do is to show our own characteristics, so that the audience can understand us more, more accurately and in more detail. Of course, in this process, we must be properly guided.”

Kuramochi was stunned by what Sawamura said.

"We just reached the fourth round of Jiaziyuan, is it too early to think about this?"

From Kuramochi's point of view, the things Sawamura Eijun said can be done after Qingdo High School finishes the Koshien match.

You know, Qingdo High School's dream is to dominate the country. If you are distracted by these things now, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty in the end.

"exactly!"

Sawamura smiled wryly.

Considering it from the standpoint of Qingdo High School, players shouldn't think so much at this time. Everyone should work together to win the championship first, and it is not too late to think about it after winning the championship.

"But none of us live in a vacuum. After the end of Koshien, even if we win the championship, the topicality will be greatly reduced. If we can't let more audiences get acquainted with ourselves during the competition, we will Once you become famous, it will be too late when Koshien Garden is over!"

Sawamura said.

"That……"

Kuramochi said something in his heart, but in the end he didn't say a word.

"For us first- and second-year players, it really doesn't have much impact. But for third-year seniors, it's different! If you don't take advantage of this time to get enough capital, wait until after Jiaziyuan. They are still unknown, how can they have a bright future? The supervisor probably also considered this, and reluctantly agreed to the interview with the press conference. "
