April 28, sunny.
In the Jingu Stadium, gongs and drums are roaring, firecrackers are blaring in unison, pennants are fluttering, and the crowd is full of people...
Today is the final of the Tokyo Spring Competition. The two teams from West Tokyo will fight against each other to decide the champion of the Spring Competition.
When it comes to this spring competition every year, it is always the time when the popularity is the most sluggish. Not to mention compared with the fiercely competitive semi-finals, even compared with the quarter-finals, it is a lot worse.
In fact, it is no wonder that these teams in Tokyo are snobbish.
It is really the champion of this Tokyo Spring Competition. For them, it is the same as tasteless. It is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it.
Especially considering the position of the entire Tokyo, this game is even more harmful and unhelpful.
On the first day of the finals, there will definitely be many teams from other regions to scout for intelligence. During the period when the Kanto Conference is about to start, it is naturally a major loss for Tokyo to leak all the information of the two teams in Tokyo.
This is one aspect.
In terms of honor, the gold content of this champion is really equal to nothing.
Teams that can reach this position generally don't care about this dispensable championship.
Of course, this size is also a champion. If you can win this championship without much effort and without harming your own interests, everyone will not refuse.
Everyone is smart. Gradually in the Tokyo area, such a convention has been formed, that is, the two teams in the final who have the stronger momentum and who has the stronger strength will naturally be the champion. Everyone played off the bench, which meant that they all didn’t need to be really skilled.
This will not harm the interests of Tokyo as a whole, but also ensure the respective interests of the two teams.
All are happy.
The fans were of course unhappy at the beginning, but at this stage of the finals, it was the least lively, and of course the fans were unhappy.
After a long time, the fans gradually got used to this.
People don't care about their own honor, why are you a fan so anxious?
In this way, it seems that the finals of the Tokyo Grand Prix also have nothing to see.
But that was before, not now.
The two teams that reached the finals this year are definitely worth watching, one is King Qingdao High School.
The appeal of this Qingdao High School is so terrifying, even if it is a non-important game, it can attract tens of thousands of people.
Not to mention the competition of the Spring Grand Finals, the audience even filled the entire Jingu Stadium.
With the support of so many fans, and Qingdao High School carrying the halo of a king, does Qingdao High School dare to do this game?
joke!
Even Superintendent Kataoka is reluctant to reveal too much information about the team. It will never be easy to hand over victory to others.
This is one aspect.
If Qingdao High School is a shaved pick with a hot head, it's useless.
If his opponent has no intention of competing for the championship, Qingdao High School will not be able to show its strength even if it wants to.
Not to mention, Qing Dao High School was unwilling to show his strength too much in his heart.
They are not fools either. The Kwantung Conference is going to be held soon, so there is nothing to do in this place.
If the opponent is an ordinary giant, this game has almost no controversial value.
But it was unfortunate that it was not the giants who entered the final this time, but the dark horse.
All the big teams hate dark horses!
In addition to the unknown strength, there is also a very important factor, that is, the dark horse's thirst for victory is far less than that of other teams.
For Qingdao High School, this champion is tasteless and a pity to abandon.
They just have to fight for victory out of their position as the king and the pressure of the fans around them.
What if Qingdao High School won this championship?
That's a joke.
Will Qingdao High School be scolded for losing this championship?
maybe!
Under such circumstances, how much fighting spirit do these players in the Qingdo High School baseball club have? I'm afraid it's an unknown...
This is still the king's green way, what about other giants? Probably worse.
It's impossible for them to do their best for such a championship.
But that's not the case at all for the dark horse team. For them, every step forward is creating history. Can they win the Tokyo Grand Prix? Is there a more glorious history than this?
Presumably the champion's trophy is locked in their school's honor room.
In this case, might the players not work hard?
Qingdo High School and Pharmacist High School.
Both teams have reasons to play at full strength and reasons to give up the game...
The audience was looking forward to the announcement of the results, so they came all the way to watch the game.
Fujio, a senior reporter from Baseball Kingdom Magazine, and his assistant, Akiko Owada, also came to the scene.
Listening to the chattering fans around, it seems that they have been able to supervise and direct the game in place of the two teams.
Some people say that the two teams must be a hot PK with all their strength.
Some people also say that it is impossible for the two teams to expose their strength too much in front of future opponents, and they will definitely hide something.
Anyway, what to say.
Akiko Owada was at a loss, and she put her puzzled eyes on her senior.
Although Fujio's analysis is sometimes not so accurate, it is all based on theory.
It's not like the fans around me say everything, and there is no basis at all.
Fujio watched the game that was about to start on the court, and also expressed his own opinion.
"I don't think both teams are really going to go all out here for the pk!"
This sentence basically sets the tone for everything.
In fact, the probability of both teams going all out to pk is really small.
As the opponents in the finals, Qingdo High School and Pharmacist High School are definitely against each other.
But from the standpoint of the entire Tokyo, after they arrive at the Kanto Conference, the two teams will form a teammate relationship again.
Both opponents and teammates.
It is impossible without a certain tacit understanding here.
Supervisor Kataoka and head coach Koryizang must have their own plans, and they must also try their own way.
While testing the opponent's bottom line, lay out your own chips.
By constantly fighting, to weigh the meaning of this game.
And do you need to fight to win the championship?
"This is a confrontation between the two supervisors!"
Fujio suddenly said such a sentence without thinking.
Owada Akiko looked at him puzzled.
However, Fujio didn't say anything more and focused on watching the game.
In the rest area of Qingdao High School, the players had already warmed up. If the high school sent the list at this time.
Seeing the opponent's starting roster, the players of the Qingdo High School baseball club turned extremely bad one by one.
Shameless!
The Superintendent of Pharmacist High School, Hung Lei Zang, is really too shameless to play such a conspiracy.
Coach Ochiai, who touched his chin mustache, pondered for a while, and said with a sneer.
"Although the other side's supervisor is very popular in professional baseball, he is a rookie in coaching high school baseball after all, and he doesn't understand the rules at all. At this time, if you want to ensure victory, you can only play with the main force!"
It seems that the starting lineup of Pharmacist High School made the coach of Qingdao High School very unhappy.
The big guy was also curious and couldn't help but look around.
Then they saw the long list of names.
The first catcher, Kazuma Akiba
...
Third pitcher, Mishima!
Fourth, third baseman, Thunder City!
Fifth, first baseman, Sanada! ! !
...
According to the original rules of the Tokyo finals, in today's game, everyone should be all off the bench.
Even if you want to show your strength, at most half of the main force and half of the substitute.
Give each other room to operate.
But if the pharmacist obviously didn't plan this way, they would go straight to the main force.
None of the nine players on the court was a substitute, and they were all starters.
The only thing worthy of Qingmiao's relief is that Junpei Sanada did not stand on the mound, but went to first base.
This seems to be the attitude of Pharmacist High School.
Look, none of our aces are on the mound.
We must have retained our strength...
The players of Qingdao High School suddenly felt a dull and unspeakable feeling of eating Huanglian.
They are sincere to send half of the main and half of the bench.
They went straight to the shameless full main force.
Yuyuki shook his head with a wry smile The other's supervisor is not a good person! "
This sentence is too esoteric, and the focus is no longer on three words.
Supervisor Kataoka of Qingdo High School, of course, was not so honest, following the general tacit understanding. He should have let the full bench come on.
But considering the possible accidents, I don't want to lose too many points at the beginning and fall behind too much in the situation.
Supervisor Kataoka directly changed his strategy and played half as a substitute and half as a main player.
In this way, even if the other party wants to play some conspiracy, Qingdao High School will have enough time and strength to deal with it.
Self-supervision, in fact, is shameless enough.
But Pharmacist High School was more shameless.
And they did it, and it was a bit of a force to the palace. It is clear that the main force of the chariots and horses will play!
The meaning is already obvious, I will play with all the main force. If you have the ability, you will also play with the main force. If we can't, we will withdraw.
Otherwise, sorry, we took the championship.
Hong Leizang's seemingly showdown move really caused a big problem for Qingdao High School.
"Supervision?"
Hearing the friends of the high school baseball team, everyone looked at Kataoka eagerly, waiting for their own supervisor to give instructions.
"Three points!"
Director Kataoka pondered for a while, and spit out two words heavily.
Three points!
This is the limit of his patience.
If Yakushi High School bites its mouth and doesn't relax, Director Kataoka decides to give the other party a hard look.
If the other party can repent of Pan Ran.
Then he doesn't mind, and he has to forgive people and forgive them.
To put it bluntly, he did not intend to play all the main players at the beginning.
First of all, he didn't think it was necessary, and he was also very confident in his team of substitute players.
On the other hand, he also thinks that the timing in front of him is not very good...
