The island nation wins!

The guys are all happy.

Originally, at the beginning of the game, none of them took Italy seriously, thinking that winning was a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, during the game, the Italian players brought them such a big surprise.

Really surprised.

The players from the island country never thought of it.

The other party will slap his face hard!

In the process, they nearly capsized in the gutter.

Although the result will not make them defeated.

But it will undoubtedly make them embarrassed.

Fortunately none of this happened.

They won in the end, a dignified victory.

When the main ace pitcher Sawamura Eijun did not play.

They beat Italy and advanced to the quarter-finals.

The commentator in the stands, the voice of the commentary is not as high-pitched and exaggerated as the commentary of the island country.

His voice was calm, but the analysis made sense.

"While retaining the ace pitcher and the main catcher. Almost playing as a substitute, the island nation still defeated Italy, which fully demonstrated their strength."

These are normal.

The next paragraph is very insightful.

"The pitcher Masamune Hongo is playing. If it weren't for his back number, it would be hard for people to believe that he is not the ace of the island country. It is even hard for people to believe that if he is on the team, the ace will fall on others?"

"But the result now is that the man who bears the trump card is indeed not him, but someone else."

With that said, the commentator turned his attention to Sawamura Eijun.

The photographer who was in charge of the live broadcast was also very understanding, and immediately switched the camera to Sawamura Eijun.

Sawamura, who won the game, looked happy.

Even if he didn't play the game, after winning the game, he would sincerely celebrate with his friends around him.

In the rest area of ​​the whole island country, the atmosphere is very good.

The players had genuine smiles on their faces.

"Before the game started, probably no one thought that today's game would be so exciting."

Even the players from the island country did not expect that their opponent, Italy, would cause them such a big trouble.

Therefore, they will be so happy after winning the game, because it is not easy for them to win, which can be seen from the score on the field, the total score is 2:0.

Given the strength gap between the two teams, this score was almost impossible, but it did.

You know, what exists is reasonable.

Since this score has already appeared, it fully shows that in this game, there must be players from the island country that were not expected before.

Those who have watched this game may soon be able to give an accurate answer.

Italian super pitcher Mario.

This is really an amazing guy.

Although the Italian players, in the early stages of the game, performed very hard.

But the gap between them and their opponents can still be seen, even at a glance.

In this case, Mario turned the tide almost by himself.

Thanks to his efforts, for a long time, Italy did not lose out in the confrontation with the island countries.

This is really an amazing pitcher!

If there is only one Mario in this game today, then Baodao, and even the fans all over the world, will probably remember this guy deeply, even if Italy loses the game, they will remember him.

But now, I am afraid it is difficult to do so.

Not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.

Mario is excellent, but he doesn't seem to be so bright compared to the pitchers in the island nation standing on the mound.

Hometown authentic!

The speed of a ball can exceed 150 kilometers, and it also has the terrible existence of precise ball control.

Mario performed so well, but he failed to create even the slightest chance for Italy.

Why is this?

The reason is actually quite simple, but also extremely cruel.

This is because the man standing on the island country's pitching mound is even better.

So much so that the Italian players never had a chance to score.

Not to mention scoring, they had a hard time getting to base.

Mario is excellent, but compared to the authentic ones in Hong Kong.

It still seems to be a little bit worse.

If that's all it is, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.

The most unacceptable thing about this game is the authentic back number of the hometown.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the back number can generally see the player's position on the team.

For example, a team has 20 people, and their back numbers are from 1 to 20.

Generally speaking, there are so many back numbers for pitchers.

Number 1 is of course number 1.

Absolute ace pitcher.

The pitcher's second back number is 10.

In baseball, the most important position is the pitcher.

The first substitute for the main ace is No. 10.

This position also marks the most important position outside the nine main players.

In addition, there are several positions generally reserved for pitchers.

For example, 11th, 18th, 20th.

These are all likely pitchers.

This time the island group, 5 pitchers out of 20 players.

They carry such a back number respectively.

No. 1, of course, is Eijun Sawamura.

However, No. 10, the main substitute pitcher, was not the local Masamune who performed exceptionally well in today's game.

But Cheng Gongming.

Hongo's back number here is 11, that is to say, he is the first pitcher other than Sawamura and Narimiya.

After the 18th, it is Yoshida Guanghui.

...

Seriously terrified!

That is to say, this super pitcher who completely suppressed Italy, this terrifying pitcher with a ball speed of more than 150 kilometers and precise ball control.

In the pitching lineup of the island nation, it can only rank third.

Their first and second, so far have not fully played.

terrible!

It's no wonder that people say that the island nation is the candidate for this year's championship!

On the court, all the players of the island nation were elated, as if they had won the final game.

The main reason why they are so excited is the strength of their opponents.

Being able to defeat such an opponent makes the friends of the island country very excited.

This invisibly gave them a lot of confidence.

After playing with the masters, the strength of the team will rise to a certain level.

The players of the island country have this feeling now. After the game with Italy, they have changed completely.

If they play again, they believe in their own strength and can definitely perform better.

It's just a pity that the chance for them to play is probably only this time.

The team can't give them more time to break in.

The next semi-final, the final.

It is bound to be handed over to the players from the Tokyo Stars.

Not that these players are worse than the Tokyo Stars.

It's just that compared to the scattered sand here, the Tokyo Stars have been honed and played before.

In addition, they are all from the same division and know each other well.

The combat power formed by cooperation is often far beyond people's imagination.

Sawamura Eijun looked at the friends beside him, and then looked at the players in Italy across from him.

At this time, there was a faint feeling in his heart.

Perhaps Supervisor Takeda's choice was not so correct.

After all, their team is a temporary piece together, how much strength can they exert themselves?

It's hard to say.

And the most serious problem facing them at the moment is not lack of strength at all.

But cooperate!

From this perspective, if Supervisor Takeda had selected the Tokyo Stars from the very beginning, he would only find people to strengthen them in two specific positions.

Then from Game 1 onwards, they should go all out.

Playing with such a main lineup, the team will improve to a certain extent every game.

Back then, the Akagi Middle School baseball team relied on this kind of training to get to the end step by step.

It's kind of stupid to do this now.

After this game, the strength of the natives must have improved.

Even if their individual strength does not change, the team's cooperation will undergo earth-shaking changes.

But this wonderful change will never be seen again in future games.

Because the players who will play next are no longer the same people as them.

The style of the team will also change a lot.

In this way, they are equivalent to challenging world-class games with two new lineups.

Some are not so sensible!

This is not to say that the idea of ​​preserving strength is wrong.

Taking into account the possibility of encountering stronger opponents in the future, at the beginning of the game, when the opponent's strength is not so strong, it is a very safe way to choose to retain the strength.

In the past, when playing regional games, the Qingdao High School baseball team and some other wealthy teams often had so many teams that they didn't send their main pitchers to the field at the beginning, and sent them later when needed.

However, there is a premise for such an approach, that is, these players have already cooperated very well with the team, and playing one or two games less will not affect their strength, but in the current situation, it is obviously not the case.

Now this team, obviously has not been honed, there are huge flaws in itself.

In this case, also choose to retain the strength.

Sawamura Eijun didn't know either, and he should feel that his own supervision was full of confidence.

Still should complain about his naivety.

In any case, the next game will need them to face.

Regardless of the previous process, what was it like?

When it was his turn to compete, Sawamura Eijun still had to go all out to win.

The host's treasure island took advantage of the group.

Given their opponents are not strong, they also quickly won the victory.

After becoming an island country, the second team to advance to the top 4.

Next, it is said to be the first North American team that is second only to the Dream Team.

When they were interviewing, one vowed to challenge Sawamura Eijun.

Because of their age, they never had the chance to fight Alan, the son of God.

Now Allen is a professional player, and he has embarked on a completely different life path from them.

If they want to challenge Allen again, they can only wait until they enter the profession.

These proud and arrogant sons of the sky can't wait that long.

They didn't even want to wait a quarter of an hour.

In a hurry, he ran to challenge Sawamura.

It is worthy of being called the strongest team, and it has really assembled a lot of elites.

A super pitcher with a 150-kilometer fastball, and a terrifying hitter who is said to hit 60%.

Another, hit three home runs in Game 1.

It is said that the pitchers who played against them were about to cry.

After all, they are also in the qualifiers. Isn't the winning team shameless?

From the current point of view, what kind of strength does Baodao have? Still unknown.

After all, until now, no one has been able to make them go all out.

Because of their weak opponents, they all won easily.

If it wasn't for the game not allowed, they would have ended the game early even 7 innings.

As for the opponents of the island nation in the next round.

It will be generated in the final 1/4 final match.

South Korea vs Cuba.

World No. 4 and No. 5 clash.

Two teams with similar rankings, one is the representative of Asia and the other is the representative of the Americas In these two baseball holy places, although they are not the strongest teams, they also have strong representatives. sex.

The head-to-head confrontation between the two teams was also interpreted as a phenomenon.

If in this game, Cuba ends up losing to South Korea.

Then among the top four in the country, three are from Asia.

Only North America, known as the kingdom of baseball, squeezed into this position.

3:1.

Needless to say, the final result, the ratio alone speaks volumes.

If Cuba wins, then the comparison between the two sides is 2:2.

Basically, it's not much different from the current situation in the world.

Although several teams in Asia, China, island countries, South Korea.

Ranked very high.

But North America is known as a kingdom.

The two sides are basically evenly matched.

After the game, Director Takeda was interviewed by reporters.

The reporters' questions were still sharp, and basically all the shortcomings were brought up.

The sharpest among them was a reporter from Baodao.

In this place on Treasure Island, reporters are everywhere.

They often joke about themselves, if you cut the line today, maybe you will be on the news or on TV tonight.

From this, it is not difficult to see how many reporters are active in Baodao?

With so many reporters, the standards are naturally uneven.

Some of the on-the-spot reactions are simply master-level figures.

The vast majority, of course, can only be made up for nothing.

The one who asked Takeda today is obviously a master reporter.

He not only has a very strong on-the-spot reaction, but also has a very strong professional knowledge.

He saw the same problem as Sawamura.

"Why didn't Supervisor Takeda let his players do their best in this game?"

...
