Chapter 122: Rich Family, Not Chinese Cabbage
Go back in time one day.
The players of the Qingdao 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 the city's third high school, one of the three giants in West Tokyo, and the pharmacist high school, which has risen rapidly in the past year.
Because there are many teams in West Tokyo and the competition is relatively intensive, there will definitely be some flaws in the schedule.
For example, the semi-finals and finals, but there is only a day's difference.
The teams that won the two semi-finals today will fight 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 for Watanabe to collect the information before going back.
It's better to let all the players watch it live, the feeling will be deeper.
"Think about it if you stand on the field by yourself, how would you deal with these two opponents in front of you?"
Kataoka's coaching policy has always been to teach people how to fish rather than to teach people how to fish.
To put it bluntly, it is to give people fish directly, it is better to teach them how to fish.
In baseball, compared to directly telling your disciples what to do, it is definitely not as good as teaching the players to think for themselves.
That's why Kataoka supervised the Seido High School baseball team for five years before, although he failed to make the team enter Koshien and win glory for the school's honor. But the reason why many excellent players have been trained.
In the words of Sawamura Eijun, Kataoka may not be the best supervisor, but he is definitely the best coach.
Not everyone is willing to teach players how to think for themselves.
From the standpoint of high school supervisors, they only need 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 results, and the future of the players naturally depends on the players themselves to work hard.
There are even some extreme ones, completely disregarding the bodies of high school students who have not yet fully grown, and unrestrainedly squeezing the potential of the players.
As the saying goes, famous teachers give rise to great apprentices, maybe you can't see it for the time being, but there are indeed many good seedlings hidden in this Qingdao High School baseball team.
Many people here have already begun to learn to think for themselves.
"Who do you think will win?"
Aso was at the end of the line, scratching his head while caring for 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 curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
I don't know what my deputy captain is thinking all day long?
It's hard to say when, such a sentence that people can't refute will come out.
Of course, the strong is king. To put it bluntly, doesn't it mean that the winner has the final say?
Whispering from behind, Sawamura and Miyuki, who were walking ahead, naturally heard it too.
"What do you think?"
Sawamura asked quietly.
Miyuki did not directly answer Sawamura Eijun's question, but instead gestured to the stands with his head.
"See for yourself!"
Because the game of Kings Seido High School baseball team has ended, Sawamura Eijun's three exclusive 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 the Demon King's Imperial Guard, the Chixin Brotherhood, including the newly formed Angel Support Group.
It's still like this.
After each Qingdao High School game, they leave the stadium.
There are only a hundred or ten people left in twos and threes.
This number does not seem too small, but in a group of 10,000 people, it is less than 1%.
This is really speechless.
Look at the other squares, whether it is the supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team or the original Daocheng Industry High School baseball team supporters.
A large number of them stayed behind.
These people accounted for about half of the original total number.
This is the reaction of a normal fan, right?
They have already deliberately set aside time to watch the game. As long as they have time, they must watch one more game.
Not to mention that the next game is also full of highlights.
Counting the pharmacist and the city's junior high school, they are also 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 big and tall, and the tree is big and deep.
In the spring of last year, I also participated in the spring Koshien on behalf of Tokyo. And also reached the top eight, the strength is quite strong.
Not to mention their previous grades!
Pharmacist High School is a latecomer, which has stirred up storms in the past year and surprised many teams.
Not to mention, last summer, they searched for giants across the country to play games.
And won a lot of consecutive victories, and the scenery was infinite for a while.
Even the game against the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team did not lose.
He has become the strongest dark horse in the legend and has attracted much attention.
In the spring of this year, I participated in the Spring Koshien together with Qingdao High School and Daocheng Industry High School baseball team.
And reached the top eight in this session of Jiashiyuan.
One is the quarter-finals of Koshien last spring, and the other is the quarter-finals of Koshien this spring. They are also from two teams from West Tokyo.
This is already a big topic.
Not to mention, the rise of Pharmacist High School has stepped on the face of the third high school in the city twice...
In short, the grievances and entanglements between them, even if the picture book is less than three to five hundred pages, can't finish it.
In such a match, the emotional entanglement is extremely deep, and both sides are very capable.
Naturally, it has attracted much attention.
Not long after the members of the Demon King's Imperial Guard left, a large number of fans poured in.
Compared with the fans of Sawamura Eijun who were in the second grade, these are the real fans, and there are people of all ages.
They were all looking forward to this game. There were many supporters of the third high school in the city, and there were also many supporters of Pharmacist High School.
The reason why they came in now is not that they deliberately got 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 who came here specifically for the last game.
But there is no way, those fans of Eijun Sawamura are too domineering. In addition, the fans of Qingdao and Daocheng are very enthusiastic.
There are tens of thousands of seats, but there are no empty seats.
So much so that they had to line up outside, and now they finally drove away those Secondary 2 fans.
Only then can they come in and watch the game.
When they came in, the game was about to start.
After the two parties sat down, they immediately cheered on the objects they supported.
Don't look at the city's third high school as a traditional wealthy family, hundreds of people from their school itself came to cheer them on.
But judging from the situation of the cheerleaders on both sides, the third high school in the city didn't take advantage of it.
There were quite a few people who came to cheer for the Pharmacist High School baseball team, and the cheerleaders on both sides cheered at the same time. The momentum of Pharmacist High School was not weak at all.
In a corner of the stands.
Fujio, a senior reporter for Baseball Kingdom Magazine, hasn't left yet.
He just finished interviewing Guoyou Supervisor, and he is still worried about the point that Guoyou Supervisor raised, should he report it?
Of course, before making that decision, he had other things to do.
The staff of Baseball Kingdom Magazine is limited, and it is impossible to send two groups of people in the two semifinals. So besides the match between Qingdao and Daocheng, Fujio will also interview for this match.
After seeing the cheerleaders on both sides, Fujio thought about it.
With the performance of the Qingdao High School baseball team getting better and better, it seems a bit aggrieved to put them in the three giants of West Tokyo.
At this time, someone put forward the theory of one king and three heroes.
What Yi Wang was talking about was naturally the King Qingdao High School baseball team that had flourished during this period of time.
As for the three giants, with the upgrade of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the Yakushi 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 wealthy team.
In terms of strength, it might be that Pharmacist High School is even better.
Whether it was last summer or last fall.
The third high school in the city met Pharmacist High twice, and was eliminated by Pharmacist High twice.
The current Pharmacist High School seems to have become the nemesis of the city's junior high school.
In this case, the two teams met for the third time.
Although the game has not yet started, many viewers 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 competition began.
The first to attack was the Yakushi High School baseball team.
The first hitter to hit the strike zone was Kazuma Akiba, catcher of the Yakushi High School baseball team.
Compared with talented stars like Miyuki Kazuya, Akiha's performance is often not dazzling.
In the course of the game, there are almost no places where he shines.
But it would be biased to say that he is not a good catcher just because of this.
Although his own skills are not at an outstanding level.
But his role at the catcher's position is very good.
He can assist the pitcher very well and maximize the strength of the pitcher.
Belongs to that kind of auxiliary catcher.
In addition, he is also very good at hitting.
In fact, long before he joined the Yakushi High School baseball team, he had already been under the supervision of Torozo.
The striking power is quite good.
As the first bat of Pharmacist High School, he can often score hits in important situations and help the team open 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 open up the situation first.
But unfortunately, his emotion is doomed to be wasted.
The man standing on the mound now is like a fire burning to burn everything near him.
"nice shot!"
"Ping!"
"The outside world!!"
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!!"
Qiu Ye, who was struck out, obviously couldn't accept the situation in front of him.
Especially Tianjiu's last ball, the kind of changing ball that suddenly fell from a high altitude and disappeared suddenly.
It really caught him off guard.
Although they have watched it many times in the game video, but they really saw it with their own eyes, Qiuye still couldn't adapt.
Not to mention hitting the ball, now he can't even see the ball and gets struck out.
Akiba wasn't the only one out, with a close second and a third.
One was struck out, and the other was hit by an infield fly.
Two strikeouts, one out.
Three up and three down!
As soon as the game started, Tian Jiu overcame his weakness of unstable start and fired with full firepower.
Watching the boys from the Daocheng Industry High School baseball team rush up one by one with great interest, and then walk down one by one in disgrace.
Especially Mishima.
As the third bat of the Pharmacist High School baseball team, he is well-known throughout the country as a strong hitter.
When Mishima first stood on the strike zone, his attitude was unbelievably arrogant.
Just name names.
He even put out a home run preview, 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, he retreated in disgrace, with a face full of shame.
What else can he say if he is caught and killed after hitting Gao Fei?
The pharmacist, who was originally high-spirited, became wilted all of a sudden.
Tianjiu Guangsheng on the mound looked particularly tough.
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 city's third high school was no longer good, and it seriously lost the face of the three giants in West Tokyo.
Look at Qingdao and Daocheng.
Today's comprehensive ratings on the Internet are first and second respectively.
It can almost be regarded as the top two teams in the country.
You look at the city's third high school that has been disgraced 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 hadn't fallen for many years before, and couldn't get into Jiashiyuan for several consecutive years.
The key is that there is still a pharmacist!
He has successively defeated giants from all over the country in practice games, and in the spring of Jiashien, he also passed all the way.
It is now famous all over the country.
The city's junior high school is dead!
Now West Tokyo, except for Daocheng and Qingdao. It depends on the pharmacist!
When seeing these contents, Tianjiu Guangsheng's stomach naturally felt angry.
In today's game, he will tell everyone with practical actions.
"A rich family is not a Chinese cabbage. Just relying on one or two outstanding performances, I want to replace the position of the third-highest rich family in the city."
"It's just a dream!"
"Pharmacist, there is still a long way to go."
...
This is not only the attitude of Tianjiu Guangsheng, but also the will of almost all the players in the city's top three.
This giant family has been relatively tragic in the past year.
Swear to rise up!
In the rest area of Pharmacist High School.
Supervisor Hong Leizang, with a pair of panda eyes, casually looked at the opponent in front of him?
City junior high school! hey-hey……
