Chapter 21: Who Are We? (Warm-up before the explosion)
Tokyo, a hostel where the Akagi Junior High School baseball team shared the hostel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the lobby, Akagi's friends sat around. Sano, the teacher who led the team, was still drowsy, and for him, getting up at seven o'clock was really early.
When Yang Ping and Zecun rushed back, they saw such a silent picture, and the two looked at each other.
Yang Ping was puzzled: How can this formation not look like an ordinary meeting?
Sawamura is also not much better, and Uncle Sano asks him to find Yang Ping back and talk about a meeting. What's going on now that everyone is sitting together and not saying a word?
"Teacher! People are coming, wake up. ”
As soon as Huaying spoke, Yang Ping and Sawamura were a little embarrassed. I forgot that Mr. Sano, but it was too early to get up at nine o'clock, and it was just right to wake up at ten o'clock. After dressing, washing your face and brushing your teeth, you will have breakfast and lunch in one......
Sano shook his head, and finally pulled back from Zhou Gong and his girl.
"Everyone's here?"
The teacher asked in a daze, but the little friend replied with a full sense of anger: "It's all here!" ”
Mr. Sano was refreshed by the loud answers of his classmates, and he finally came to his senses.
"The students have been training for a long time!"
The lines that took a night of brain cells to think of yesterday were the lines that were read according to the script, and Sano said in a tone that was completely inconsistent with his temperament and image: "Of course, your hard work was not in vain, after a lot of hardships, we finally broke into the country." ”
"The national stage is completely different from the tests we faced before......
Yang Ping supported his chin with his hand and looked at his leading teacher in confusion. Even if there are not many contacts, with Yang Ping's impression of Sano, he really doesn't look like a person who can summarize before the game.
Besides, Nagano's prefectural tournament, Akagi can't be said to be smooth sailing. But except for the finals, they were all crushed all the way. This is also called going through a lot of hardships, and it seems unreasonable.
Different from Yang Ping's belly discussion, the captain of the team, Sawamura, was much more frank: "Uncle Sano, if there is anything, you just say it directly." Don't play with these empty heads. We don't understand it anyway......"
Sano thought about the lines all night, because of Sawamura's words, it turned into flowing water in an instant.
"You ball, can you respect your teacher?" Raising his hand gave Sawamura a brain breakdown, and Sano Shi Shiran said his purpose for gathering everyone.
"The principal called."
Before he could finish speaking, the little friend instantly surrounded Sano with a question.
"How's the headmaster?"
"Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
"Can you come and cheer us on?"
……
"Alright, alright, one by one." Raising his hand to stop the enthusiastic students, Sano was very relieved to tell everyone: "The principal is very good, not only has he been discharged from the hospital, but he has also given us advice. ”
"As for watching the game live, it depends on the doctor. But the principal said that even if he didn't come, he would cheer you on in front of the TV. ”
After listening to Sano's words, Akagi's friends realized a problem.
It turned out that I was really going to participate in the national competition. The kind of game that would be broadcast on TV......
Watching the students fall into deep thought one by one, Sano said the principal's advice one by one.
"In our West, there is a very large ancient country. Where do they spread such a proverb - know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”
The friends looked ignorant, and Sawamura asked directly, "What do you mean?" ”
Without waiting for Sano to explain, Yang Ping's voice suddenly sounded: "That is to say, when the two countries are fighting, they must know what is going on with themselves and what is going on with the enemy." Calmly analyze the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and be aware of them. In this way, when the fight starts, you can play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses......"
The explanation is simple and easy to understand. The little friend immediately understood the truth. In the popular phrase of today, it is 'intelligence warfare'.
It's just that as a new player who is playing in the whole country for the first time, how can Akagi get information about his opponent?
Thinking of this, the little friend looked at Sano with an enthusiastic face.
Sano shook his head: "Don't think about the opponent's information, Toho won't give it to us, we are mortal enemies now." ”
Yang Ping said: "So now all we can do is ......"
"Understand what is going on with you."
Sawamura snatched Yang Ping's lines with a deep face.
Yang Ping's face was sour: This kid steals the limelight, and he really doesn't fall behind!
What's going on at Akagi Middle School?
Not to mention Mr. Sano and the friends of the Akagi baseball team, even Yang Ping didn't think too much about it.
But who really understands what the Akagi baseball team is all about? There is really no more suitable candidate than Yang Ping. As a coach, the Akagi baseball team can be said to have been single-handedly trained by Yang Ping.
Keep a clean sheet against all opponents and easily win the ticket to the national competition. Akagi's performance can't be said to be unimpressive! But when it comes to strength, Yang Ping himself estimates that it will be the second round of the national competition, or at most the third round......
At first glance, this doesn't seem like a lot of strength. Actually, no, there is a good saying - there is no weak team in the country!
As a representative of each administrative region selected in the national competition, how can there really be any fish belly team. In addition, baseball is different from football and basketball, which is a new sport that has a history in this country dating back more than 100 years. Such an ancient sport has spread widely, and there are many people who know how to do it. No matter how remote the area, there are always one or two really powerful baseball schools.
Besides, Nagano Prefecture is known as the nation's victorious army! But what to say about this name, it is a bit mixed......
Winning means always winning every tournament, but it's just winning. Winning the second round is the top 16 in the country, and the third round is the top eight! A school with such a record will definitely not be called a permanent winner.
If you know your strength, you have to lock in a goal. To think about things that his strength can't reach is not Yang Ping's style. It is his habit to grasp what he can get in front of him.
"Toho's best result was the round of 16, and only once. So our goal is to be in the quarterfinals! As long as we achieve this goal, we can be considered worthy of the expectations of the old principal......"
Without waiting for Yang Ping to finish speaking, Sawamura stood up excitedly: "What are you talking about!" We're going to win all the time! ”
Winning all the time?
Yang Ping looked at the overheated Sawamura in a daze, he wants the national championship?
Neurotic~
Whether it is training intensity or tactics, if you can play to the last round, people have long studied the team's information clearly. At the grassroots level like Akagi, it is possible to break out twice once in a while, but if it explodes until the finals, then ......
Flower Shadow nodded: "That's right! If you want to do anything so far, win the next game first. ”
……
A week later.
Yang Ping, who had just gotten up, was about to train, when he saw someone appear in his usual practice place earlier than him.
"Hello, my name is Tada Noki, and I am the captain of the emperor. Please look after me in the future! ”
