Chapter 7: Six Years Later (1st Update)
When Koshien opened on August 7, Yang Ping felt that there were many people in the audience pointing fingers at Qingdao High School. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoThis feeling will be even more pronounced when the official competition is held on August 8.
"Look, that's Seido High School! Anyway, they haven't participated in Koshien for many years, but they often see their players perform in professional baseball. ”
"Qingdao's strength is still there, but it has been bad luck in the past few years, and it has been under high pressure by Daocheng Industry and the third year of the city."
"But I've heard that this year's Qingdao is different, not only is the third grade strong, but there are also pitchers in the first grade who have a ball speed of more than 15."
"That's a really good show."
……
Akiko Owada, a reporter for Baseball Kingdom magazine, listened to the surrounding discussions and whispered to her seniors: "Seido High School seems to be attracting attention. ”
"Of course!"
Fujio poked the notebook in his hand with a pen: "After a six-year absence, I returned to the Koshien stage, and I had a wonderful performance at the Jingu Competition last year." Even if there are no first-year freshmen, Qingdao is still a national-level team, and now there are so many new blood added to the team. The audience will certainly look forward to the recovery battle of the wealthy high schools......"
Fifteen minutes before the start of the game, the lounge of Seido High School.
Kataoka gathered the players together and then enthusiastically encouraged, "Now that we're in Koshien, no one knows how far you can go?" And that includes yourselves. I've already taught you everything I should teach you, and I can only say one sentence now, don't forget our slogan~"
"Let's go!"
Ahh
One by one, the players walked out of the lounge and into the Koshien court.
When the Seido High School players walked into Koshien Stadium, the entire audience erupted in a tsunami of cheers.
"Qingdao, Qingdao!"
"Qingdao! Qingdao !! ”
Tens of thousands of spectators, cheering in unison, shook the earth.
The players were just excited, and Kataoka and Minister Ota already had hazy tears in their eyes. Even if I haven't been to Koshien for six years, Seido High School still has such an amazing appeal across the country.
The auditorium, which is large enough to accommodate 60,000 people, is mostly seated. Among them, a team of nearly 20,000 people was cheering for Qingdao, and the momentum was earth-shattering.
In the cowshed of Toho High School.
Dongping Township Hachiro pouted and complained: "This posture has completely regarded us as a supporting role and stepping stone to block the recovery of the wealthy family." ”
"Wouldn't that be better? If we had won, it would have caused even more of a stir. ”
Pitcher Ryusuke Watanabe said softly.
"As long as you have the confidence to suppress Qingdao's line, then our odds of winning can be improved to at least seventy percent."
Qiu Shouxin said suddenly.
Instructor!
Tohira and Ryusuke Watanabe looked at their own superintendent, their eyes shining.
Qiu Shouxin smiled slightly: "Let's make history." ”
Ahh
Before the start of the competition, the contestants of Qingdao High School gathered together in a rare circle and formed a huge circle.
In the center of the circle, stands the captain Tetsuya Yuuki.
The audience in the audience looked at the scene in front of them with bright eyes, this, is this the legendary Qingdao slogan!
Yucheng pointed his finger at his chest.
"Who are we?"
"King Qingdao!"
"Sweat more than anyone else?"
"Qingdao!"
"More tears than anyone else?"
"Qingdao!"
"Are you ready to fight?"
"Whoa!!"
"I swear by the dignity of the school, we have only one goal, to dominate the country, rush!"
Whoa, whoa!!!!!
All of them pointed their fingers to the sky, as if they were carrying their dreams.
In the audience, many spectators had tears of excitement in their eyes, and Seido did not only have fans in Tokyo, but also many fans all over the country. These fans haven't watched Qingdao's game for six years in a row, and now they see that Qingdao is still the same Qingdao.
How could they hold back their tears?
There were 40,000 or 50,000 spectators, the media broadcast live, and millions of fans sitting in front of the televisions.
With such a battle, it's no wonder that Koshien has become a dream place in the minds of countless teenagers.
"There are so many people!"
Yang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes burning with fighting spirit. We said before that Akagi Middle School is a typical crazy team, mainly thanks to their leader, Yang Ping.
No matter how calm he is, Yang Ping is a person who has a greater desire to express himself than the bigger the scene.
He likes this kind of stage, and he is worshiped in front of everyone.
Men and sons, it should be like this!
"The match between Nishitokyo Seido High School and Toho High School in Nagano Prefecture has officially started now!"
The first to attack was Seido High School.
"First bat, guerrilla, Yoichi Kuramochi."
Kuramochi stood on the left seat, constantly thinking back to Coach Kataoka's previous explanation.
"This is Seongdo's first appearance after six years away from Koshien, we must not be cowardly, we must aim for the next base pack and attack aggressively!"
When he was in middle school, Kuramochi had a career as a bad student. For this, he even almost ruined his baseball dream. When he graduated, no high school was willing to accept him as a student, even if he played baseball well.
At this time, Qingdao came.
When Rei Takashima offered him an invitation, Kuramochi couldn't describe how excited he was.
At that time, he just wanted to have a place to play baseball, but he never imagined that he could be on such a big stage in Qingdao.
When did he start to have extravagant hopes for Koshien?
It's after entering the Qingdao Road!
Everybody here is a fool, a big fool who doesn't know anything but baseball.
No consoles, no girlfriends, no spare time. It was as if there was only baseball left in my life......
It's not that I haven't complained, and it's not that I don't envy the life of ordinary high school students.
Just ask yourself, but he has never regretted it.
Now that all the hard work has paid off, Seido has entered Koshien.
Is this the end of it?
Of course not!
We're not dominating the country yet!
"Ping!"
The first time I saw Ryusuke Watanabe's low-shoulder throw, the first time I stood on the land of Koshien, and in the face of the first ball thrown, Kuramachi blasted out with a stick.
"Hip hop!"
With a strange laugh, Kurachi threw the bat in his hand and ran to first base.
The baseball penetrated the infield's guard and formed a long hit.
"Second home run!"
Kuramori, who was standing on second base, raised his arm high and laughed weirdly.
After six years of absence, Seichi High School made its first appearance back in Koshien, and Yoichi Kuramochi got off to a good start.
