Let's put aside the intense practice game in Daocheng. Pull the camera back to Qingdo High School.
After the speed test was over, more and more onlookers emerged on the campus. They originally thought that the baseball club of Qingdao High School was still on vacation, so they were not particularly active in training.
After all, they had watched it for several days in a row before, and the popularity naturally decreased day by day.
After arriving, I felt that the atmosphere on the court became very different.
"So Sawamura-san has returned!"
Soon they found a different center, a circle of flatterers around Sawamura. Even on the other court, the third-year seniors who were training frequently turned their attention back to Sawamura.
Sawamura beat Kuramochi in the 50-meter run!
Great, really great!
"Sawamura, we will always support you."
"Come on!"
"I'll win the championship this time, let's go to the Spring Jiao."
"Look at you, Mr. Ace!"
Most of the people who came to watch the practice at Qingdo High School were seniors who graduated from this school. Without a doubt, they are the most die-hard supporters of the school.
For them, the appearance of Sawamura Eijun was simply the blessing of the goddess of luck. It was because he came to Qingdao High School that he brought such good luck to Qingdao.
Before the seniors of the third grade retired, they were in love with each other over time. These third-year seniors are not low in popularity among those die-hard supporters.
When they were there, they could also share some of Sawamura's popularity. Now all the seniors in the third grade have retired, and they all have a better future.
According to the information they have, four of the third-year players from Qingdao High School have been invited to the professional draft, and one of the others is one. Even the outstanding substitutes have also won the college draft. invitation.
The professional draft has to be postponed, but the college draft is usually in September.
The so-called draft is to represent people who are interested in you, and then you go to the audition. This draft is also divided into general invitations and named invitations.
The general invitation and selection is much more rigorous, but going to the school to invite the contestants to participate by name is basically a transition, as long as you want, you can go to that university to study.
There are 18 people in the first army of Qingdao High School, except for a few players in the first and second grades, one of the others is counted as one, and the future is very bright.
This is also an added benefit of Koshien. Not to mention that Qingdao High School also won the national hegemony. Even if Qingdao High School did not dominate the country, the transcripts they played in the Jiaziyuan competition alone were enough to give them a good future.
For the third-year players, their only task now is to make their final appearance in the national sports competition.
For national sports competitions, results are actually not particularly important. With the top eight in Jiaziyuan as the core, the national sports competition held is more like a star show.
After the game, most of the contestants have to take pictures of each other and sign each other. Even if you fail, you will not cry.
certainly.
For a national hegemon like Qingdao High School, it would be quite embarrassing if the grades were really disgusting.
Therefore, the third-year seniors gathered together to train, and it was not all for love. They really didn't want their last experience to be too embarrassing.
Hearing the cheers from the surrounding audience, Sawamura waved to the audience frequently.
Although most of these viewers didn't see him defeating Kuramachi and performing miracles. But Sawamura thought they were cheering for him.
As far as Sawamura himself is concerned, the feeling is also very sour.
He himself had never thought that he would be so capable, outperforming Kuramochi in terms of speed. Although this kind of excitement was not comparable to the excitement of dominating the whole country with a third-year senior, it was comparable to winning the championship at the Kanto Tournament.
Cool!
"Damn brat!"
Kuramochi looked at the smug Sawamura, and his teeth hurt. But he is not the kind of stingy person, because Sawamura won him, so he went to trouble Sawamura.
It will be faster next time!
After losing to Sawamura, Kuramochi made up his mind and worked hard at his own speed.
It really didn't work at first, because he had already increased his speed to an extremely powerful level. Later, it was Sawamura who guided him and adopted a more scientific training method, which enabled Kuramochi to improve his speed.
Those training methods were thought up by expert professors in the major leagues. In terms of kinematics, they are much more professional than Kataoka and Ochiai.
Kuramochi's ability to advance by leaps and bounds in the future has a lot to do with this competition.
Every baseball player is very proud, especially a player with good skills. Kuramochi doesn’t care too much about other things even if he loses, but in terms of speed he But I don't want to lose to anyone.
Neither can Sawamura!
Even after half a year of getting along day and night, he now treats Sawamura as his own younger brother.
He also didn't want to lose to Sawamura in terms of speed.
"The next step is the practice of strikes. Although there are enough members of the first army, there is not too much difference in the level of everyone. It is very likely that your strike will determine the next number. Although we don't have to participate in the preliminaries, the list It still has to be reported. Normally, the preliminaries start in the middle of the year, so before the 10th, we will decide on everyone’s back numbers. Work hard!”
Before hitting training began, Coach Ochiai suddenly threw a bait.
This is a very tempting bait.
Before adding Sawamura, he just showed an extraordinary state. Everyone is confident in advancing to the Spring Jiaziyuan.
At this time, the back number is particularly precious.
There is a big gap between being able to win the main back number and not being able to win the main back number.
Take retired third-year seniors as an example, the main players basically got invitations to the professional draft.
The substitute players do not have such treatment, at most they can only get an invitation to the college draft.
Even if the main force can't get results, Itai, who has a real sense of presence, has received enough invitations from four university electives.
If he wants to advance to a career, it is not impossible to get a recommendation from the school.
As for substitutes, generally only one or two invitations are received.
This is the gap.
If the level is too different, everyone will not say anything. The current situation is that everyone's level is about the same, so naturally we have to fight well.
Except for the original main team, other positions are up for grabs.
So after hearing what Coach Ochiai said, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became weird.
