Although the dormitory rule is to gather at the dormitory on the evening of August 30, there is no specific time limit. If possible, Sawamura wanted to linger until the afternoon before leaving. But the old man can no longer tolerate his laziness. As the ace of the national championship, his teammates are still fighting in school. How can he be so leisurely as the ace?
"If you are driven back, I can't spare you!!"
Under the threat of the old man's fists and feet, Sawamura had no choice but to take the dessert prepared by his mother and the pudding he bought specially, and set foot on the tram back to school early in the morning.
After waving goodbye to the friends who came to see him off, Sawamura took out his mobile phone and sent a group message to his teammates.
"I am back!"
After a full ten minutes, there was no reply.
Sawamura was not angry, and immediately added another one.
"Oh, I brought too many things at home, what should I do if I can't get it? Is there a kind eldest brother who would come to the station to pick him up?"
This time, the teammates were clearly enthusiastic.
Jia Weiyang (Kurachi), who is bowing from left to right: "When will it arrive? You should be straightforward when you ask for help from the senior. What are you thinking about in such a muddled way. This senior is not that unreasonable."
Eat Ma Ma Xiang (Zengzi): "Is there any pudding?"
Hidden Four Rods (Kinmaru): "Do you need a car? If you need it, I can borrow Takashima-sensei's."
Kominato Chunshi (no screen name): "Welcome Eijun to return to the team."
...
Sure enough, the charm of the food is great.
Sawamura smiled lightly and continued to give everyone back information.
After chatting for a while, when Sawamura looked up, two people were already standing in front of him. An eldest sister in her thirties with a five- or six-year-old younger brother.
"big boss!!!"
The child pointed at Sawamura excitedly and said to his mother.
His mother gave her child a doting glance, smiled and asked Sawamura if she could take a picture and sign her son's name.
"certainly!"
Sawamura readily agreed.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"Tiger Wolf too!"
Sawamura's heart throbbed, this name is mighty and domineering!
"I wish Tiger Wolf Tai healthy growth and happiness. Sawamura Eijun!"
Sawamura quickly signed his name, and then went to the toilet for an excuse.
Before you know it, Sawamura is already a celebrity. People around will inevitably point and point, and some fans may even take pictures and sign autographs.
If it's really free, Sawamura doesn't mind.
But forget it on the tram, he disguised a little with a hat and a mask, returned to his seat, and fell asleep.
I don't know what happened to the team because he hasn't been at school these days.
When Sawamura got off the bus at the station, he saw someone coming to pick him up.
Kanamaru, Kuramochi, Masuko, Kominato, Kanamaru, Tojo...
Mom, it's a little too enthusiastic.
Sawamura silently counted the number of dim sum, and sadly found that he might not be able to get it.
"Why did you come?"
Kuramochi's tone was very dissatisfied, and he was very enthusiastic and considerate to fetch Sawamura's bag and prepared to open it at the station.
"It's too ugly to eat, let's go back to school and open it again."
Sawamura persuaded with a wry smile.
Sawamura took the car in the morning, and it was almost noon when I got off the train in Tokyo. The group turned back to the school's tram, and when the school arrived, it was time for dinner.
Sawamura put the salute back in the dormitory and followed everyone to the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, almost everyone who saw Sawamura greeted him warmly, and Sawamura politely distributed the snacks he brought from home to everyone. He couldn't do it if he didn't want to. Kuramochi and Jinmaru had already pressed him and scoured his bag.
Apart from the pudding being cut off by Senior Masuko, there are many other things, all of which were confiscated.
After the meal, Sawamura, Kuramochi, Kanamaru, Kominato Chunichi, Furuya, and Miyuki sat together.
Sawamura sat in the middle, and Miyuki sat opposite. On both sides of Sawamura are Kanamaru and Kominato Chunshi, and next to Miyuki are Kuramochi and Akatsuki Furutani.
Because of the character of the senior Baizhou, he almost did not participate in team building discussions. The six people sitting here now, except for Jin Maru, are all regular members of the new team.
During the meal, a few people talked about the team's recent situation to Sawamura.
Now the seniors of the third grade and the players of the first and second grades are completely separated.
Third-year seniors, prepare for the national sports competition. The first- and second-year players are preparing for the selection of the new team.
The original Qingdao high school baseball team was mainly established in the third grade. In the main force of the first army, except for Sawamura, the ace, Kuramochi, the first player, and Hakushu, the right fielder, the others are all third graders.
This includes the formation of the first baseman, Ryosuke Kominato as the second baseman, Masuko as the third baseman, Itai as the left fielder, Jun Isashiki as the midfielder and Chris as the catcher.
Of the nine people, two-thirds are third-year seniors.
Not only the main force, but also nearly half of the third graders on the bench.
In this way, as soon as the third grade leaves, the entire army of Qingdao High School will be completely rebuilt.
In the original main force of the Second Army, almost all non-third-year players were promoted to the First Army. There are Maeen, Kanamaru, Tojo and the others.
After the Second Army is promoted, the twenty-member quota of the First Army will be considered complete.
But this is only for personnel. In addition to the personnel, there are also the main positions, the team's back number, and the arrangement of the bats.
These are all troubles!
The only ones that have been determined now are probably Sawamura No. 1, Miyuki No. 2, Kuramochi No. 6, and Hakushu No. 9.
In addition to these four positions, the others are up for re-competition.
A new round of main competition has begun!
"Has the captain's choice been confirmed?"
Sawamura asked directly Several people shook their heads.
It means not yet.
Sawamura frowned. It seemed that Supervisor Kataoka, Coach Ochiai, Minister Ota and Deputy Minister Rei Takashima were not alone. If it's a person, they just announce it directly.
"Snakes don't go without heads, and birds don't fly without heads. The captain should be determined first."
Sawamura said with a wry smile.
Qingdao High School has not yet determined the main team, and at the beginning of September, the preliminaries for the autumn competition will begin.
Autumn competitions are generally scheduled in October.
But the situation in Tokyo is different. There are too many teams. There are a total of 260 colleges and universities!
It is too cruel for so many schools to carry out a single round of elimination, and it is not conducive to the development of the team.
Therefore, the organizing committee decided to arrange a qualifier before the official competition.
The qualifiers are drawn by the 260 schools, with four teams in a group, and the four teams play a round-robin match, and the team with the first points advances. If two teams have the same points, that is, in the event that both teams have two wins and one loss, the relationship between wins and losses is compared.
The qualifiers are a seed selection system, and generally there will not be two particularly strong teams coming together.
The winning team will be drawn at the end of September for the real Tokyo Autumn Tournament.
The winner of the autumn contest will be eligible to play in Koshien in the spring.
Because Qing Dao won the national championship, he did not need to participate in the qualifiers and directly advanced to the main competition.
But even then, it's only a month before the game officially starts. In such a short period of time, it is not only necessary to establish the main team, but also to hone the team into shape.
too difficult!
Especially since the captain has not yet been determined, this is even more difficult!
