As time passed imperceptibly, it was time for the latest summer tournament to begin.

On this day, on the Tokyo Jingu Stadium, gongs and drums were noisy, firecrackers rang out, and people were crowded......

Qingdao's friends were ready early in the morning and came to the Jingu Stadium.

When lining up, as the national overlord, Qingdao was the first to appear.

The leader was Miyuki, followed by the third, second, and first grades......

Everyone lined up and waited to enter.

"The first team was last summer's champion, the team from Qingdao High School. They are not only the champions of our Nishitokyo, but also the champions of Koshien last year and the champions of this year's spring armor selection. A well-deserved king! ”

This commentary is called an impassioned generosity. He is a fan of Qingdao himself, and now Qingdao is strong. It's no surprise that he has such a performance.

"However, it is a pity that because Seido won first place in the spring competition, they are the first seed, and we will not be able to see Seongdo's wonderful performance until the third round."

When I say this, I can clearly hear the regret of the explanation.

However, there is no way to do it, the first-seeded team has always had such a privilege.

There are nearly 300 high schools in the whole of Tokyo, and there are 1450 in Nishitokyo alone. With so many teams, they have to go through at least seven rounds of selection if they want to select a team to be represented. Because the teams are uneven, most of the teams have first-round byes when grouping.

Then the second round is a 128-64 match, and it is customary to say that this is the first round of the tryouts. As for the previous round of qualifiers, because there were too few teams participating, they were generally not counted in the selection round. The teams that make it to the top 16 in the spring tournament will go straight to the next round. In other words, they were counted in the top 64 from the beginning.

Next is the 64-32 game, Qingdao High School is in this round, and they directly became the top 32.

Generally speaking, the third round of the match that Qingdao is talking about actually refers to this, which means that they do not participate in the 128-in-64 and 64-in-32 games, but directly participate in the 1/16 finals.

The whole selection tournament lasts about three weeks, and most of the competition time is spread across Saturdays and Sundays.

Since Saturday and Sunday followed, the whole selection should have been separated by four weeks.

The round of 64 will be selected in the first week and the round of 16 in the second week. In the third week, the top 4 will be selected directly. Week 4 is the semi-finals and finals!

With this arrangement, the contestants of Qingdao High School did not have to participate in the competition for the entire first week. All they need to do is play the top 32 team in the same group on Sunday next week.

This is also the reason why the friends of Qingdao did not enter the state for a long time at the beginning of the competition, and the official competition only started next week, and they only had the part of the audience this week, so how could they be excited?

Yang Ping, Xiaogu Xiao and Sawamura fell behind the team, and even if the three of them were just standing in such a crowded weather, they were already sweating profusely.

"Isn't it too hot this year?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the palm of his hand for the third time.

Although this is not his first year in Tokyo, the hot weather in Tokyo still does not allow him to adapt.

The island country is a very long and narrow country, although the area of the whole country is not very large, but the dimensions spanned are very wide. The climate of the country as a whole is very uneven, with Hokkaido covered in snow and ice all year round, while Tokyo is like much of the northern hemisphere.

Winters are frighteningly cold, and summers are just as hot.

"You're not going to burn out here, are you? Juvenile? ”

Sawamura said coldly to Tsukiya Xiao.

The team's back number has been officially issued, and Sawamura is still No. 1. Sawamura is still very proud of this, and often shows his back number in front of Tsukitani Xiao.

"It's because you're the kind of guy who has no perseverance that the back of the trump card will fall into my hands. How can the enthusiasm of baseball be lost to such weather? ”

Sawamura is very hateful, accusing Akira of the valley. In fact, he didn't have any ill intentions, but this was just a unique way for the two to encourage each other.

"I still can't get used to the rhythm of these two guys."

Yang Ping subconsciously moved a step away from these two guys, fools are contagious, he was afraid that he would be contaminated with the breath of these two bastards.

"Don't go."

Yang Ping had just moved a step, and Sawamura immediately followed shamelessly. I don't know why, he felt that the air around him was cool when he stayed by Yang Ping's side.

This is simply a mobile air conditioner for the human body! The air conditioner was gone, and Sawamura was also a little upset.

As the people of Seido High School lined up, the surrounding teams followed one by one.

The opening ceremony in Tokyo was held at Jingu Stadium.

All the high schools in East Tokyo and West Tokyo combined, and 300 small high schools are gathered here. A team has less than a dozen people, and more than dozens of people, these people are densely packed together, and the whole team is crowded.

Standing in the team, not only all the friends of Qingdao High School, but also the other team members.

"It's hot!"

"This weather still makes us stand for so long, and we don't let people live?"

"Shut up, the mayor hasn't spoken yet."

"What's the use of bullshit, let's start the game."

……

Finally, the long opening speech was over, and Yukiichi also took the oath on behalf of all the participating partners. This is the end of all the processes before the start of the competition.

After the end, all the players of Seido High School had nothing to do, and everyone left Jingu Stadium and prepared to take the bus back to school.

Although there were many team games in the future, the Qingdao players were not interested in watching it.

"Brother Yang Ping!"

Yang Ping is the same, although this weather does not affect Yang Ping, but no one has the interest of basking in the sun on a hot day in the thirty-first year.

Just as Yang Ping was about to leave, a cordial shout suddenly came from behind his ears.

Yang Ping looked in the direction of the sound and happened to see a few familiar figures.

That was when he was a child, and he joined the bombardier's little friend.

The moment he saw them, Yang Ping also remembered the grouping of the game.

Maybe it's fate, but they are naturally assigned to the weakest level when they participate in the tournament for the first time, so if they win all the way, the probability of meeting Qingdao in the first round is very high.

Originally, Yang Ping just thought so, and didn't dig too deep.

Unexpectedly, when the group was sent down, he found their names in the list of four teams competing against Qingdao.

Metropolitan Bang Edai High School!

If they win two consecutive rounds to qualify for the round of 32, then it is no surprise that they will meet Qingdao in the 1/16 finals.

"Maybe it's really fate, but it's not necessarily!"

Yang Ping's heart was very emotional. At this time, he didn't leave a good impression on these former junior brothers, but turned around and walked away coldly.

"The next time we meet, we'll be rivals!"

This is what Yang Ping wants to convey, and in fact, this meaning is really felt by the friends of Metropolitan Rippon Zhikui High School.
