The Return of Diamond Ace Pitcher

Brothers from the Brotherhood responded immediately.

Sawamura's current mood is extremely complicated. Some of him are afraid to face the brothers of the Brotherhood.

He never thought that he would gain such a group of loyal fans in Nagano Prefecture, but he himself would leave sooner or later.At that time, how can I tell my friends that it's actually okay. Even if you are not teammates, you are still brothers and friends.

But how can he say goodbye to fans who sincerely support him?

"thanks, thanks!!!"

The Akagi Middle School team, with a total of 18 people, stood in a row and bent deeply towards the auditorium.

On the stands.

The friends from Tianlong Temple Middle School stood up one by one.

"Next, it's our turn!"

In another corner.

A self-media reporter wrote a paragraph excitedly.

"Everything seems to be taken for granted. After Akagi Middle School defeated Dabei, it overturned Nagano Toritsu. In this harmonious atmosphere, who ever noticed that Nagano Prefecture has been monopolized by the three kings for 20 years. The number of participants in the conference has changed."

"For Nagano Prefecture, a new era is about to begin!"

The editor-in-chief of "Baseball Boys" wrote something else.

Despite the differences, they also noticed a key.

This year's Kanto Conference may set off a terrible storm.

Episode 047

After the Akagi Middle School game, they did not leave, but all stayed behind to watch the game at Tenryuji.

The Tianlong Temple game went very quickly, but it was over in more than fifty minutes.

7:0!

Tianlong Temple crushed the opponent.

There is no suspense in the process, nor is it exciting.It doesn't feel like Tianlong Temple is so strong, it's just that their opponent is too weak.

"I didn't use all my strength?"

Feng Xiangao frowned and looked at Qi Haiyao.

Not to mention the whole Tianlong Temple, just Qi Haiyao's pitch, as a former partner, Feng Xiang can clearly feel that he has retained his hand.Even though he cast a total of only three games!

Tenryu Temple is consciously retaining its strength. Why is this?

Zecun was puzzled, and then when he looked up and looked around, a strange thought suddenly came to him.

It's weird, will the media have more cameras?

The two semi-finals in Nagano Prefecture were undoubtedly the match between Akagi Middle School and Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, which attracted more attention.

Even though the momentum of Tenryu Temple is the strongest in Nagano Prefecture, there is no way to change this.

After all, there is almost no suspense in the semi-finals of Tianlong Temple. Compared with Tianlong Temple, their opponents are not at the same level in strength.

The eyes of the audience are not blind. Except for the hardcore supporters of Tianlong Temple, other fans probably have little interest in watching Tianlong Temple abuse food.

The number of fans at the scene also confirmed this.When the Akagi Middle School just started the game, there were at least six to seven thousand spectators.Now the audience has been reduced by at least half.

There were half fewer fans, but there were a few more cameras on site.Not counting the small DVs that individuals bring, there are enough high-definition cameras of the same type as eight.

This is weird!

You must know that the middle school competition is incomparable with high school.In high school, the regional semi-finals began to be broadcast live on regional TV stations, and even complete videos can be downloaded on the Internet.Under that kind of publicity, there are five or six or even seven or eight high-definition photography equipment, which is understandable.

The middle school is different. The semi-finals and finals of the middle school are not fully broadcast live.At most, it means to broadcast some clips on TV and announce the ranking.It is also difficult to find complete game videos on the Internet.

In the semi-finals in Nagano Prefecture, very few units would bring such professional cameras.As far as Sawamura knew, apart from the Nagano local TV station, probably only two would bring it.One is "Baseball Boy" and the other is Nagano's online self-media.

The three companies add up, but only three devices are enough, plus Tianlong Temple's own shooting at most.(Some teams with strong capital will also record their own games.)

Four in total!What happened to the remaining four stations?

"Detective?"

Almost instantly, Zecun thought of the answer.After all, he has been in the baseball circle for more than ten years, and he has heard of some things even if he has never seen them.Not to mention that in his previous life, he had seen such investigations many times.He was in the third grade of high school, and when he participated in the West Tokyo Competition, there were more than a dozen high schools who came from all over the country to investigate.

Sawamura originally thought that only high school, Koshien's alternate school, would face such an opponent.Unexpectedly, ordinary middle schools, softball league games, there will be people doing this.

Qi Haiyao, in the second grade, took the Tianlong Temple with his own power to climb to the top four in the country last year.The small teams in the non-crisis zone, with such results, naturally made Qi Haiyao and Tianlong Temple famous.Even compared with last year's national championship, Tianlong Temple is not weak in reputation.

After a big game is held, in addition to their championship, the most concerned is naturally the strong dark horse team.Last year's Tianlong Temple Middle School played this role.

Qi Haiyao, who led Tianlong Temple that year, was promoted from the second grade to the third grade, and he became a strong candidate for the national championship this year.In this case, it is not surprising that Tianlong Temple faced such an investigation.

"No wonder the old fox's personality chooses to save his strength!"

Sawamura Rongchun nodded secretly, already trying to understand everything.It seems that in the final between Tianlong Temple and Akagi Middle School tomorrow, there may be even more opponents to investigate.

They refused to let go of the semi-finals of Tenryu Temple, and naturally they would not let go of the final between Tenryu Temple and his Akagi Middle School.

This result made Zecun a headache.

After entering the Kanto Conference, Akagi Middle School’s chances of advancing to the whole country are much higher than those of Nagano Metropolitan and Dabei Middle School.Akagi Middle School, under the leadership of Zecun, is more than two schools on one hand.Another very important aspect is that Akagi Middle School is a dark polo team, and other schools don't know anything about Akagi.

The dark horse team, in the big game, is undoubtedly much cheaper than those teams with exposed cards.

This is like a known enemy and an unknown enemy. Even if the two enemies are similar in strength, the unknown enemy is far more threatening than the known enemy.

If there were not so many investigations, Zecun would definitely want to fight with Tianlong Temple Zhenger.

A serious competition can increase Akagi Middle School's experience in the game. On the other hand, if it wins, Akagi Middle School will face a more favorable situation in the Kanto Conference in the future.

To participate in the Kanto Conference, a county sent two teams, so naturally there will be a championship group and a second-place group.To be fair, two teams in the same county will not be arranged together before the Final Four.Under the premise of following this rule, the opponents in the first round of the championship group are generally second in other counties.

In order to compete for this favorable situation, Akagi Middle School also has the meaning of fighting with Tianlong Temple.

Of course, this was only Zecun’s previous thoughts, and now Zecun’s thoughts have changed a bit.What changed Zecun was the people who came to investigate Tianlong Temple and what identities were they?

Zecun is almost certain that these people should not be rivals of Tianlong Temple Middle School in the country.If you are a national opponent, you don't have to be so troublesome if you want to understand the strength of Tianlong Temple Middle School.The Kanto Conference has full TV and webcast live broadcasts. They want to understand the strength of Tianlong Temple. It is very simple. They only need to organize the video of the Tianlong Temple Middle School in the Kanto Conference.The information there is far more detailed than what they have filmed and investigated.

Since it is not a national opponent, it must be the opponent of the Kanto Conference.

In the Kanto Conference, Tianlongji Middle School was regarded as the team that they advanced to the national barrier.Only these teams have a reason to target Tianlongji Middle School.The most frightening thing is that these people scrabble and beat rabbits, it is very likely that they were taken to Akagi Middle School.

You know, these teams that use Tenryuji Middle School as their opponents are also obstacles to Akagi's promotion to the country.Premature exposure of strength is also detrimental to the Akagi Middle School baseball team.

Having exposed their strength, there is no way to play the dark horse.

Zecun smiled bitterly.

It's better to be a player who doesn't want anything and listens to orders.If you think about problems from the perspective of a coach, Nima is too tired!

048 The Eve of the Decisive Battle

Zecun couldn't make up his mind, and immediately decided to throw this headache out for everyone to discuss.

It's not that Zecun wants to shirk responsibility, but he doesn't know how to choose this kind of thing.If he knew how to do it right, he would definitely decide without hesitation.Even if someone says he is strong and domineering, Sawamura doesn't care. As the leader of the team, if he doesn't have this courage, he will not lead the team.

The problem is that Zecun himself doesn't know how to decide on this matter. When he doesn't know how to do it, he can only listen to other people's suggestions and everyone can discuss an idea.It's all a gambling anyway. Of course, you have to choose a method that everyone agrees with, so that even if the future fails, it will be easier for Sawamura himself or everyone to accept it.

In the evening, everyone gathered together to discuss tomorrow's tactics against Tianlong Temple Middle School.

When Zecun had a showdown with everyone about these things he thought about, everyone was dumbfounded.

Sawamura has experienced this. He went to high school before, and after the spring competition, the top two teams in Tokyo also participated in the Kanto Conference.The rules are similar to the current rules, the same is a region, two representing schools.At that time, Sawamura's high school reached the final of Spring University in Tokyo.He was faced with exactly the same situation as the current Akagi.

Is it to go all out to win the championship, try to take advantage of the first round of the Kanto Conference, or use the bench to save strength.

The high school where Zecun was at that time chose the latter without hesitation.Compared with the champions of Spring University, they are unwilling to disclose their information more to the opponents they may encounter in the Kanto Conference.And according to Sawamura's experience, 90% of other schools that have reached the final will do so.

Of course, Akagi is in a different location from the high school where Sawamura was in his previous life.The high school where Sawamura was in his previous life was a well-known giant in Tokyo and even the whole country.They have no ambitions for the championship of Spring University.The honor of the Spring Championship is like a chicken rib for them.

Food is tasteless, but it is a pity to discard it!

Akagi Middle School is different. The Akagi Middle School baseball team has not won any honors since its establishment.Champions, even if they are only the champions of the county competition, are extremely attractive to them.

Zecun and Feng Xiangao are better. Given the honors they have won, a champion in a county competition naturally cannot attract them.But the other friends don't have the same experience as theirs. A champion in a county competition is enough for them to brag for a long time in later life.

Somehow Sawamura has experienced this kind of thing in his previous life. Other friends, including two teachers, Sano and Wada, have such experience?When Zecun asked, all of them were stupid.

Then they stared, looking at Zecun purely, without speaking.

Zecun stared at them with big eyes and small eyes for five minutes, and finally had to lose.How can he be the opponent of the twenty pairs of eyes on the opposite side?

"The situation is such a situation, whether it is to retain the strength, or to win the championship with all its strength, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zecun spread his hands and motioned everyone to express their opinions enthusiastically.

As the first horse under Zecun, Ashin certainly can't watch his boss sitting at this time.He immediately took the topic: "Even if we die with Tianlong Temple, we don't necessarily have a chance. Instead of leaking all of our information, there may not be a good result. It is better to retain the strength and participate in the Kanto Conference as a dark horse. "

Zecun gave Ashin a surprised look, but he didn't expect that he would have such an insight in his childhood.With the death of Tianlong Temple, let alone victory or defeat, it is certain that his own strength has been exposed and aroused other teams' alertness.

Among the 16 teams in the Kanto Conference, there is no Chinese cabbage to give points. It is very questionable whether Akagi, whose strength is fully exposed, can win two games in a row and advance to the top four to secure a national quota.On the contrary, if Akagi, who had not smashed Tenryu Temple and retained his identity as a dark horse, would have a much greater success rate in winning two consecutive games.In any case, the current Akagi's real strength is at this level, and he is eligible to compete for the places in the national competition.

In this case, hiding in the dark to play as an enemy will despise the dark horse without knowing the depth.It is far more advantageous than a strong match against Tianlong Temple, one of the top four in the country.

You know that there is still half a month before the Kanto Conference. If the opponent has detailed information about Akagi, they will have enough time to figure out the targeted tactics.

Asin's statement, Zecun agreed.It’s just that it’s uncomfortable to hear this in human ears.You know, the slogan Akagi shouted at the beginning, but he wanted to defeat the three kings, he said that he might not necessarily win the Tianlong Temple.

Isn't this a face slap?

Zecun nodded without saying anything.Instead, he turned his face and asked other people: "What about you, what do you think?"

The friends looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

To be honest, many of them are very ambitious about the Nagano championship.As Zecun had previously worried, they were not Zecun, and they were skeptical of the goal set by Zecun deep down.It is so easy to enter the national competition.Although they have now obtained the qualifications to participate in the Kanto Conference, before Nagano Metropolitan High School and Dabei Middle School, did they obtain the qualifications of the Kanto Conference?But as a result, they were not defeated at the Kanto Conference.

In the Kanto region, there are only four and a half places for participating in the whole country. On average, two regions can get one.Such a fight is much harder than overturning the three kings of Nagano Prefecture.

"If we really aim at the national competition, I think we should choose to preserve our strength."

Fengliang Zhengtai, the army master of Zecun Gootou, said second: "Compared with Tianlong Temple, we are confident. But we have a better chance of winning over two other counties whose strength is similar to Tianlong Temple. After all, other counties People who do not know us like Tianlong Temple. As long as we score points by surprise, we will be able to win the game. Not to mention that the odds of winning are higher. Even if the odds of winning are 50-50, I think it is more cost-effective to choose the latter. Participating in the national competition is more attractive than a pure Nagano champion."

Zecun nodded secretly, still Xiao Fengliang could speak.The same meaning, speaking from his mouth, is much better than Ashin's fool.And his remarks are undoubtedly more provocative.

After listening to the wind, the friends of the Akagi Middle School baseball team are breathing fast.

Chapter 049 The Old Fox's Calculations

For this final, Akagi's friends had a full discussion until nine o'clock in the evening before they had a more detailed countermeasure.

Waiting for the next day, the friends gathered excitedly and went to Matsumoto Stadium to participate in the final.

Although he had made up his mind, he gave up the victory of this game to Tianlongji Middle School.But when it comes to acting, you always have to act like something, both to show that Akagi has enough strength, but also to show that Akagi is not a big threat to the uncles of other counties.

This degree must be handled well.

Otherwise, if only discussing how to hand the victory to the opponent, Akagi Middle School would not be able to spend so much effort.The rest of the time, almost all Sawamura, Sano and Hotan do ideological work for their friends.

It is much harder to let a group of teenagers who desire victory and honor know how to make choices than to instigate them to fight a strong enemy bravely.Fortunately, Sawamura's prestige is enough, and Mr. Hotan's eloquence is also good.This comforted the little guys, and fudged them how to stay unaffected when they played tomorrow.

In fact, it was Sawamura who really mastered this degree. As long as he let go, Akagi would lose points sooner or later.

It's just a pity that Sawamura can't do this kind of thing. As long as he stands on the pitcher's hill, he will definitely go all out to pursue victory.In order to ensure no accidents, Akagi's arrangement for this game is to let the first-year substitute pitcher Komaki take the lead, and then Sawamura will be the outfielder!

Regardless of a simple position change, Akagi's overall strength has dropped by more than half.Aside from attacking, as far as defense is concerned, Sawamura is a pitcher and Komaki is a pitcher. They are two completely different teams.

After finally fighting against the national-level Tenryu Temple, the Akagi Middle School baseball team was prepared to train with Tenryu Temple and Qi Haiyao based on the principle of no waste.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the tens of thousands of seats on the Matsumoto Stadium were full.

Outside the stadium, a few unidentified tourists questioned people around them.

"Is it a high school or college game today? Why is it so lively? Isn't Matsumoto Stadium said to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people."

The stadium with tens of thousands of people is full of voices.

Such a movement naturally makes people wonder, and it is reasonable to have such a guess.
