Rewind time by one day.
The players of the Qingdo High School baseball team who had just finished the game did not leave Jingu Stadium directly.
Because the next semi-final is about to start on this court.
The two sides of the competition were City Junior High School, one of the three giants in West Tokyo, and Yakushi High School, which had risen rapidly in the past year.
Because there are more teams in West Tokyo, and the competition is more intensive, there will definitely be some flaws in the timing.
For example, the semi-finals and the finals, but only one day away.
The teams that won these two semifinals today will be fighting each other tomorrow.
For the Qingdao High School baseball team that has reached the finals, their most important task now is to study their opponents in the finals.
Time is so tight, it must be too late to wait until Watanabe has collected the information before going back.
It is better to let all the players watch it live, the feeling will be deeper.
"Think about how you would deal with these two opponents if you were on the court yourself?"
Superintendent Kataoka's teaching policy has always been to give a man a fish, rather than teach a man to fish.
To put it bluntly, it is to give fish directly to others, it is better to teach them how to fish.
In baseball, compared to directly telling his disciples what to do, it is definitely not as good as teaching players how to think for themselves.
This is also why Supervisor Kataoka guided the Qingdo High School baseball team for five years before, although he failed to make the team enter Koshien and win glory for the school. But it has cultivated many excellent players.
In the words of Sawamura Eijun, Supervisor Kataoka may not be the best supervisor, but he is definitely the best coach.
Not everyone has the heart to teach players how to think for themselves.
From the standpoint of a high school supervisor, they only need the players to perform well in the past two or three years.
As for the future of the players, what does that have to do with them?
They only need to be responsible for their own performance, and the future of the players naturally requires the players to work hard.
There are even some extremes, ignoring the undeveloped bodies of high school students, and unrestrainedly squeezing the potential of the players.
As the saying goes, famous teachers produce high-level apprentices. Maybe you can't see it for the time being, but there are indeed a lot of good seedlings hidden in this Qingdao High School baseball team.
Many people here have started to learn to think for themselves.
"Who do you think will win?"
Aso landed at the end of the team, scratching his head while supporting his teammates.
"The strong is king!"
The front garden is concise.
It sounds quite high-end and atmospheric, but it is actually equivalent to saying nothing.
Aso pouted in dissatisfaction.
I don't know what my vice captain is thinking about all day long?
I can't say when, I can come up with such a sentence that people can't refute.
Of course, the strong is king. To put it bluntly, isn't it the one who wins?
Sawamura and Miyuki, who were walking in front, were whispering in the back, and naturally they heard it.
"What do you think?"
Sawamura asked quietly.
Miyuki did not directly answer Sawamura Eijun's question, but instead gestured to the stand with his head.
"See for yourself!"
Because the game of the King's Qingdo High School baseball team has ended, Sawamura Eijun's own three fan groups naturally left.
Speaking of this, Sawamura Eijun was also very helpless.
I don't know if these guys are real fans? If they are real fans, why don't they seem to be interested in anyone's game except Sawamura's own game?
Sawamura had never heard of such a baseball fan.
But it was the Demon King's Guard, the Brotherhood of Hearts, and the newly formed Angel Support Group.
It's still like this.
After each Qingdao High School game, they left the field.
There are only twos and threes left, and there are no more than a hundred or ten people in total.
This number does not seem to be too small, but in a group of 10,000 people, it is less than 1%.
This is really speechless.
Let's look at other square formations, whether they are supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team or supporters of the original Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
They all stayed in large numbers.
These people make up about half of the original total.
This is the reaction of normal fans, right?
All of them have deliberately set aside time to watch the game. As long as there is time, I will definitely watch one more game.
Not to mention, the next game is also full of highlights.
After all, the pharmacist and the third high school in the city were absolute enemies.
One of them is a former giant in West Tokyo, and the other is a rising star. Not to mention that he is quite famous in the Tokyo area, even if he looks at the whole country, he is not an unknown person.
The city is three high, and the tree has deep roots.
Last spring, he also represented Tokyo at the Spring Koshien Garden. And also reached the quarterfinals, the strength is quite strong.
Not to mention their previous grades!
Pharmacist High School is a latecomer, and in the past year, it has stirred up the storm and surprised many teams.
Not to mention, last summer, they searched for the giants all over the country to play games.
And one after another took down a lot of winning streak, for a while the scenery is infinite.
Even the game against the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team did not fall behind.
Became the strongest dark horse in the legend and attracted much attention.
In the spring of this year, I participated in the Spring Jiazi Garden with the baseball teams of Qingdao High School and Daocheng Industrial High School.
And reached the quarterfinals in this session of Jiaziyuan.
One is the top eight in Koshien last spring, and the other is the top eight in Koshien this spring, both from West Tokyo.
This was already a big topic.
Not to mention, the rise of Pharmacist High School was two consecutive steps on the face of the third high school in the city...
In short, the grievances and entanglements between them, even if the comic book is less than three or five hundred pages, can't be finished.
In such a game, the emotional entanglement is very deep, and both sides are very powerful.
Naturally it is highly regarded.
Not long after the people from the Demon King's Imperial Guard left, a large number of fans poured in.
Compared with the fans of Sawamura Eijun's middle school, this is the real fan, and there are people of all ages.
They are all looking forward to this game. There are many supporters of City Junior High School and many supporters of Pharmacist High School.
The reason why they only came in now was not because they were deliberately stuck.
If possible, they would also like to watch the match between Qingdao and Daocheng by the way. There are even a lot of people here specifically for the last game.
But there is no way, those fans of Sawamura Eijun are too domineering. Coupled with the fans of Qingdao and Daocheng, they are very enthusiastic.
There are tens of thousands of seats, but there are no empty seats.
So much so that people like them had to line up outside, and now they have finally boiled away those middle two fans.
They can come in and watch the game.
By the time they came in, the game was about to start.
After the two sides sat down, they immediately cheered on the people they supported.
Despite the fact that City Junior High School is a traditional wealthy family, hundreds of people have come to their school to cheer them on.
But judging from the cheerleader situation on both sides, the city junior high school did not take any advantage.
Many people came to cheer on the Pharmacist High School baseball team. The cheerleaders on both sides supported the team at the same time. The momentum of Pharmacist High School was not weak at all.
in a corner of the stand.
Fujio, a veteran reporter for Baseball Kingdom Magazine, has yet to leave.
He has just finished interviewing the supervisor of Guoyou. He is still worried about the point raised by the supervisor of Guoyou. Should he report it?
Of course he had other things to do before making that decision.
Baseball Kingdom Magazine has limited staff, and it's impossible to send two groups of people to two semifinals. So in addition to the match between Qingdao and Daocheng, Fujio also has to interview for this match.
After seeing the cheerleaders on both sides, Fujio was thoughtful.
With the performance of the Qingdao High School baseball team getting better and better, it seems a little embarrassing to put them in the three giants of West Tokyo now.
At this time, someone put forward the theory of Wang Sanhao.
What Yiwang was talking about was naturally the King Qingdao High School baseball team that was booming during this time.
As for the three giants, with the upgrade of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the Yaoshi High School baseball team came on the bench.
If nothing else, just look at the popularity of this game.
Pharmacist High School is no worse than a giant team.
In terms of strength, it may not be that Pharmacist High School is better.
Whether it was last summer or last fall.
City Junior High School encountered Pharmacist High School twice, and was destroyed by Pharmacist High School twice.
The current pharmacist high school seems to have become the nemesis of the third high school in the city.
In this case, the two teams met for the third time.
Although the game has not yet started, many spectators actually have a bias in their hearts.
In fact, the vast majority of people are not optimistic about the junior high school in the wealthy city, but they are more optimistic about the pharmacist high school.
In such an atmosphere, the official game began.
The first to attack was the Pharmacist High School baseball team.
The first batter to stand in the hitting zone was Kazuma Akiba, the catcher of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Compared with talented stars like Miyuki Kazuya, Akiba's performance is often not dazzling.
In the course of the game, there is almost no place where he shines.
But to say that he is not a good catcher because of that would be biased.
Although his own technology, and not to the outstanding level.
But his role in the catcher position is very good.
He can assist the pitcher very well and maximize the pitcher's strength.
Belongs to that kind of auxiliary catcher.
In addition, he is also very good at hitting.
In fact, long before he joined the Pharmacist High School baseball team, he was already under the guidance of Superintendent Koreizang.
The striking power is quite good.
As the first bat of Pharmacist High School, he can often hit hits in important situations, helping the team to open up the situation first.
Now that he is the first to stand on the strike zone, he naturally hopes to help the team expand its territory and take the lead in opening the situation.
But unfortunately, his emotion is doomed to be in vain.
The man now standing on the mound was like a lit fire, burning everything that came near him.
"nice shot!"
"Ping!"
"The outside world!!"
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!!"
Akiba, who was struck out by three strikes, obviously couldn't accept the situation in front of him.
Especially Tian Jiu's last ball, the kind of change ball that suddenly fell from the sky and disappeared suddenly.
It really caught him off guard.
Although they had watched the game video many times, they really saw it with their own eyes that Akiba still couldn't get used to it.
Don't talk about hitting the ball, now he can't even see the ball and is straight out of the game.
Akiba wasn't the only one out, followed by second and third.
One got a strikeout, and the other hit the infield Goofy and was picked up.
Two strikeouts, one out.
Three up and three down!
At the beginning of the game, Tianjiu overcame his weakness of an unstable start, and the firepower was full.
Looking at the friends of the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, they rushed up one by one with great interest, and then walked down one by one disheartened.
Especially Mishima.
As the third player of the Pharmacist High School baseball team, he is a well-known strong player in the country.
When Mishima just stood on the strike zone, his attitude was unnecessarily arrogant.
Almost named.
He even put out a home run notice, and kept lighting Tianjiu Guangsheng with the bat in his hand.
That feeling, as if he didn't hit a home run, what would happen to him.
In the end, it was not that he retreated in dismay, his face full of shame.
He was killed after playing Goofy, what else could he say?
The pharmacist, who had been in high spirits at first, was suddenly wilted.
Tianjiu Guangsheng on the pitcher mound looks particularly strong.
Holding his head high, he looked down at the opponent in front of him.
Before the game, there was a lot of news on the Internet, saying that the three high schools in the city are no longer good, and they have seriously lost the face of the three giants in West Tokyo.
Look at Qingdao and Daocheng.
The comprehensive scores on the Internet are now the first and second respectively.
Almost two of the top two teams in the country.
Look at the disgraced city junior high school this year.
It is also a wealthy family in West Tokyo, why is the gap so big?
It's okay to say, after all, Qingdao didn't fall for many years before, and he couldn't make it into Jiaziyuan for several years in a row.
The key is that there is also a pharmacist!
He has successively won the giants from all over the country in practice competitions, and in the spring of Jiaziyuan, he also passed all the way.
It is now famous in the country.
City University and the third high school can't do it!
Now West Tokyo, in addition to Daocheng and Qingdao. It depends on the pharmacist!
When he saw these contents, Tianjiu Guangsheng's stomach was naturally full of fire In today's game, he will use practical actions to tell everyone.
"Wealthy families are not Chinese cabbage. Just relying on these two outstanding performances, they want to take the place of the top three in the city."
"It's just a dream!"
"Pharmacist, it's still a long way off."
...
This is not only the attitude of Tianjiu Guangsheng, but also the will of almost all the players in the third high school in the city.
In the past year, this giant has been relatively tragic.
Promise to rise!
In the lounge area of Pharmacist High School.
Superintendent Hong Leizang, with a pair of panda eyes, casually looked at the opponent in front of him?
City big three high! hey-hey……
