The rules are very simple, that is, the whole country of Japan is divided into 49 districts, and all the high school baseball teams registered in each district can come to the lottery to play, so the situation of drawing strong and weak teams is basically a matter of luck, but after all, there are only a few top teams that can get the top one or two in the district, so most of the teams are still studying with the prince, purely to participate in activities.

This kind of thing, put on the Chinese people, will definitely shout the slogan of friendship first, competition second, just like Lu Wenlong They participated in regional competitions at that time, participated in provincial team competitions and even followed the national team to participate in the Olympic trials, as long as they can achieve their goals, the excess competition strength will not be wasted, from top to bottom, this is all consensus, no one will feel that there is anything wrong.

But the Japanese are just a little different......

The warm-up tournament organizers are the strongest team in this county selected for them, a team that has entered the Koshien finals four times, they are very strong, and the opponents in the first few rounds should be weak teams, by the way, Japan's administrative prefectures are actually equivalent to the administrative provinces of Huaguo, which is higher than the city, of course, the area is actually similar to the counties of Huaguo.

The opponent is really weak, and the radio at the beginning of the game was very enthusiastic about the introduction, this is a high school team that can barely make up ten people even for the official game, because this high school has a total of 150 students.

The baseball team still has two accompanying officials as usual, because this sports team is special, and there has already been a bombing of the camp, so the accompanying people this time are carefully selected, and there is no special poker face, but two women are arranged, of course, there is no such beautiful welfare as Tang Canqing. It's just two aunts, two aunts who are quite chatty, but such people handle the relationship with the team quite well.

The key is that I have to come to Japan to play a warm-up game, and I don't know which department to find for the two aunts who can also serve as Japanese and English translators. Lu Wenlong is the key target, and Aunt Huang said kindly: "This situation is very common, because the population of Japan is becoming more and more concentrated in cities, and recently there is a tendency to have a declining birthrate, and there are fewer and fewer people in some small places. This high school called Shenpu High School...... Oh, you see, the people who are cheering on are almost all of their teachers, students and parents! ”

Because the grandstand of the whole competition is a provincial competition, there are still thousands of people, but basically they are all fans of that strong team, and students, teachers, parents and alumni are densely packed with people, only the opponent. A lonely group of more than 200 people, waving flags and beating tambourines as much as they could, could not gain any presence on this court.

But the cheers never stopped......

Zhao Lianjun is also in favor of coming to see such a game, to be honest, the Huaguo team is now a strong team. In addition to the teams in Asia and Central and North America in the Olympic Games, the others are weak teams, how to play with weak teams, Zhao Lianjun thinks it is also a good inspection project, after all, the Chinese team lost to the traditional weak team Australia in the qualifying round, and this time in the Olympic Games can no longer make such a mistake.

But the game has just begun. Zhao Lianjun wants to leave!

Because the gap in the ability to play on the field is even greater than the difference in the number of fans on both sides on the field, only in the first half of the first game. The strong team scored 39 points cleanly without much effort!

What is the concept of 39 points?

There are nine innings in a game, and each game has an offensive and defensive exchange in the second and second halves, which is equivalent to a football game, and in the first ten minutes, this weak team was beaten to 39 to 0!

Lu Wenlong was also surprised. After pouting with Zhao Lianjun, he was about to get up after a glance, but at this time. He saw an offensive player of that strong team, in a situation where the opponent could not pick up the ball at all, posing a threat to him, an extremely dangerous sliding action to go to base! …,

It won the great cheers of the fans!

Isn't that interesting? It's like a high school student beating a kindergarten child, not only to win, but also to win the other party viciously? Just leave no trace of affection?

The action of the sliding base is similar to the action of the sliding shovel on the football, which is to run quickly to the fullest, in order to get enough speed, stretch one foot on the ground and curl one foot and slide over, the action is a little careless, in fact, it is easy to hurt the ligaments......

Lu Wenlong was really a little puzzled, turned his head to look at Aunt Huang, who couldn't understand the game at all, and just translated the broadcast: "The radio said...... This is respect for the opponent, with the most serious attitude, to treat the serious opponent ......"

Conscientious?

Just these two words made Lu Wenlong sit down again, and the others followed Zhao Lianjun to sit down, but they didn't take the ball seriously, looking around at the Japanese high school girls, well, the student's skirt is quite short, and the white thick socks are very attractive.

Lu Wenlong focused his attention on the faces of the players of the weak team, Shenpu University......

These young people, who are almost the same age as him, are almost facing a battle that must be lost, but none of them behave casually, their basic skills and tactical abilities are indeed extremely poor, and the physical coordination of some players is simply not suitable for playing baseball, but they are still serious and a little clumsy on the field according to the guidance of a yelling coach desperately resisting!

The pitcher often has four bad balls, not because the opponent is too strong, but because he really can't often throw the ball into an area as large as the upper body of a person more than ten meters away, and the batsman is even more ugly, he will fall down at every turn, and he will just swing the bat empty, and he will also throw the bat out, and even the catcher will be smashed in the face by the ball flying in the air, making a face full of flowers, and the blood will not stop, but these teenagers will wipe the blood on their faces casually, Keep focusing on the next fall!

Their attack, there is no suspense, not a single point is scored, the second game of attack and defense is converted, the strong team continues to attack, and it is another period of slaughter, or the kind of hard bridge and hard horse attack, the second game is ten!

The situation is not possessed by any imaginary gods, possessed by stars, game after game, the scores of the strong teams in the stands have been changing, and the scores of Shenpu University have always been fixed on that zero!

eleven points in the third inning;

Seventeen points in the fourth inning;

Sixteen points in the fifth inning;

……

At this time, the weak team is already behind by ninety-three points!

In fact, according to the rules of baseball, as long as the difference in scores is too large, the lagging side can propose to terminate the game, and the lowest game record is 9-0.

Perhaps it was suspected that this crooked and crooked lame team didn't even know this basic rule, and the radio even told a paragraph euphemistically to explain this rule, and Aunt Huang also repeated this to Lu Wenlong......

Lu Wenlong saw that the person with referee clothes below went over to ask the coach and players of Shenpu University, and after a brief discussion, the answer was to shake his head and continue the game......

The words on the radio were that the players told the referee: "As long as there are spectators, as long as there are spectators cheering them on, they will fight until the end of the game!" ”

The applause was really like thunder, the fans on both sides were applauding, some of the players of the strong teams were leaning on their own players' seats to applaud, even Zhao Lianjun was applauding when he heard this, he was a northerner, and he was poisoned by the Japanese devils back then.

Some good spirits are worth learning and admiring, otherwise why would such a small country with a big palm dare to covet such a vast territory of China? It's always like you're not as good as others to end up like this!

The game continues, the broadcast continues, and it seems that someone has found a strong team and asked them to end the game hastily and release the game, anyway, they have already won to the point where they can't win anymore. …,

Who knew that the captain of the strong team actually responded through the radio: "If we release water, it will be the biggest disrespect to Shenpu University!" ”

In exchange for a long time of applause, those Shenpu college players who fell crookedly also tried their best to applaud in favor of the other party's approach, and did not feel that kind of pity and that kind of release was a gift, maybe in their opinion, it was more of a shame, the skills were not as good as others, and if they lost, they lost, but they lost in a dignified manner.

Lu Wenlong's teammates finally sensed this somewhat weird atmosphere on the field, mainly from the weird numbers on the scoreboard, and under Zhao Lianjun's on-site education, they also began to look at this rare game properly.

Technique and tactics are not the focus, the focus is on the spirit embodied in this kind of competition, the spirit of struggle, which is a little different from the general direction of Huaguo's pursuit of victory and gold medals, but this spirit of striving for glory is indeed worth feeling for every athlete.

Lu Wenlong is different, he is not feeling this spirit of struggle, he is feeling the soul of those people, the soul of fighting!

Life is a battle!

He has seen this since he was very young, so he has been working hard, trying his best to turn over, and constantly strengthening his own strength and the strength around him, but the kind of clever character traits in his bones make him a little evasive and light on many times, but he doesn't have this never-say-die temperament!

Lost! It's just losing, but losing for a while doesn't mean losing for a lifetime!

It's not that if you lose, you have to flee back to your own small territory to become the overlord, but you should go head-on and fight for a bigger defeat!

Yes, it's a failure!

Only failure can make him fall and get up again and again, and make himself bigger and stronger.

Sitting there, Lu Wenlong watched the game below without blinking, watching the score freeze at 122-0 after the worst score, standing up and applauding the two sides who were serious about the game!

Looking at the players on both sides who were exhausted below, but forced themselves to salute all the spectators......

At this moment, he wanted to stand on the competition field like never before, because his blood was gradually boiling, and he was eager to compete!

Only by going to the game can he start to experience that feeling of victory and defeat again!
