Chapter 700: The Battle of Golden Week Begins (Part 3)
May 3rd, the first day of Japan's Golden Week, is also a rare holiday in Japan, similar to China's May Day holiday, but not exactly the same. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just a rare little long vacation, during this holiday, all the sports clubs of Japanese high schools, such as basketball clubs, football clubs, volleyball clubs, and track and field clubs, will have practice matches at this time, and the baseball club is no exception.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Japan, as the national sport, that is, Japan's first sports ball game baseball, even if it is only high school baseball, it has received extraordinary attention, during the Golden Week, in order to better prepare for the summer competition two months later, the baseball department of every university is to seize the time, arrange more practice matches, invitational matches, so as to carry out targeted practice.
Universities in the Kanto region, region, Kyushu region, Shikoku region, Hokkaido region, and every prefecture in each region traveled thousands of miles to other regions to compete against universities in other regions similar to official competitions, which were invitational tournaments and practice tournaments.
It is also for this reason that in every venue where there is a practice match, the showdown of those high-profile giants, even if it is just a practice match, the audience is almost bursting, and the media, magazines, and newspapers in various regions are also attracted to the outpost of the upcoming summer competition.
Every team that has the potential to win is good news material.
Osaka Kiryu, Kiyomasasha, Hokkaido Juma Otoenmaki, Gunma Hakuryu High School, Aichi Prefecture Saiho High School, Yamanashi Area Yamamori High School, Tokushima Area, Konaga High School, Kyushu Area, Homei High School, Shikoku Area, Terumi High School, Kanagawa Prefecture Yokogaku High School, and many other established high schools in the Tokyo area have also planned their team's practice matches during Golden Week.
In particular, under the arrangement of Kozo Nitta's supervision, Jumo Daikenmaki High School even came remotely, from north to south, all the way through, which can be said to be a heroic move, and it really attracted the attention of many people.
Qingdao High School is naturally not weaker than others.
On the day when Golden Week had just begun, more than 20 people from the First Army of Seido High School took the school bus and headed for Saitama Prefecture under the leadership of Superintendent Kataoka and Rei Takashima.
As for the members of the Second Army at the school and the remaining members, it was handed over to Hiromitsu Ochiai and Minister Ota.
It must be said that the teams scheduled for the first day of the competition are not very strong teams, or in the practice matches during the entire Golden Week, the only teams with really high gold content are Hakuryu High School in Gunma Prefecture and Yakushi High School in the practice matches in the same area, both of which are teams with the strength of the top eight and top four of the Spring Armor.
Besides, the pharmacist high school in the original book is still the top four of the spring armor, and even the grappling with the Seishosha was lost at the last minute, as an old opponent, and a new opponent, the practice match between Yakushi High School and White Dragon High School is the highlight of this holiday.
And one thing is obvious, that is, who the starting qualifications of these two games belong to, which has a certain reference significance for the next trump card battle.
The most important thing is to look at the performance in the game, at this point, Akira Tsukitani and Sawamura Eijun are quite aware of this, and it has also been determined that the starting point of the White Dragon Battle is Sawamura Eijun, and it is even possible to let Rongchun finish the entire White Dragon Battle, after all, this is just a practice match, used to measure, estimate what the upper limit of Sawamura Eijun is now, presumably, Kataoka Supervisor also has this aspect of measurement.
The first of the two practice matches on May 3 was against a local powerhouse from Nagano who came to Saitama, and in terms of strength, the ace pitching of this team is still quite good, especially the spiral ball, which is nearly 1.9 meters tall, and the ball thrown from the left is still a little difficult to shoot under normal circumstances.
In this first game, the first one to start was Akira Shibuyani.
In this competition, because the opponent is Seido High School, there are extremely many spectators watching the game in the audience, anyway, this is the team that is the semi-finals of last year's summer league and the runner-up of this year's spring league.
In the world of baseball in Japan's high school, winning the top of the country is certainly the most remarkable thing, but to be honest, it is extremely difficult, and being able to win the regional championship and make it to Koshien is already the goal that many teams are striving for.
That's right, it's the end, and only teams like Seido High School, Inagi Kogyo, Hakuryu High School, Osaka Kiryu, and Kanagawa Yokogaku will aim to win the national championship.
Qingdao High School, which was already thought to be degraded into the general regional team, suddenly made a strong effort last year, and once again became a well-known strong family in the country, and the results of the top four and runner-up also attracted the attention of the whole country.
This is also an important factor in the prestige of Qingdao High School today.
During the Golden Week expedition, Seido High School, which held invitational tournaments in various regions, attracted not only local media and newspapers and many spectators, but also a large number of local reporters in Tokyo who followed Seido High School's expedition route to collect materials.
In the first game, the presentation of Qingdao High School made everyone shine, and the most important thing was the adjustment of the order of Qingdao's playing, which made those professionals slightly show a look of inquiry.
The three-batter Kominato Haruichi moved out of the sequence of home run hitters and was promoted to two batters, and the original five-batter Miyukiichi also became a three-batter, and the five-batter was Kenta Maezono who has been getting better and better recently, which is also Kenta Maezono Kenta has really entered the line of home run hitters, and the original two-batter fixed hitter, Kenjiro Hakushu, has become a six-batter this time.
The adjustment of the position of the upper line and the home run line also made some discerning people see the meaning of the arrangement of the superintendent of Qingdao High School.
Although the ace pitching of this local powerhouse team in the Nagano area is also good, but in the face of Seido High School's line, it may also be because of the adjustment of the position, and in today's game, every player in Seido High School knocked out hits in this game.
In this game, Hirotomi Takatsu was also recognized by Kataoka Supervision, and played on behalf of the fifth game, because this game was only an invitational tournament, so I didn't talk about any effective games or anything like that, in order to better run in his team, or learn more.
Falling valley threw the first six innings, and let Rong Chun play in the last three innings, because the state was still not very good, Falling Gu Xiao lost two points in the six innings, and Qingdao High School also scored a total of 12 points.
With a total score of 12-2, Seido High School defeated the Nagano team and won the first victory.
