Koshien!

More than 100,000 baseball boys across the country have the biggest dream in their hearts.

How to explain that feeling, for example, it is equivalent to a basketball boy who wants to enter the NBA.

It's not a joke, being able to play Koshien in this place is not much different from being able to play in the NBA.

When Zhang Han was original, he didn't have this obsession. After all, he spent most of his time in China when he was a child, and it was difficult to have the same kind of plot as other people around him.

Later, he lived in Tokyo with his mother, and was coincidentally pulled by Ono to learn baseball.

When he was in Matsukata, the teenagers around him were as hungry for Koshien as they were.

Even many people regard Koshien as their biggest dream in life, which is even more than becoming a professional baseball player.

After staying in that environment for a long time, Zhang Han naturally suffered a certain amount of infection.

Especially when his teammates who are familiar with him ask him, do you want to enter Koshien?

At that time, Zhang Han had only been learning baseball for half a year, and he didn't care about this matter.

"It's all right!"

Of course, it's good to get in, and it doesn't matter if you can't get in.

Then the guys around him, like looking at monsters, looked at Zhang Han.

That feeling is like asking in China, do you want to make money? You answer that it doesn't matter.

Where can Zhang Han stand such a gaze?

Whether it was true or false, when others asked later, Zhang Han naturally answered.

"Yes! Of course I want to! ”

Then the eyes around him immediately became much kinder.

At that time, how much of that was said was sincere, Zhang Han no longer remembered.

But after talking about it for a long time, coupled with the influence of the surrounding environment, he naturally regarded entering Koshien as part of his dream.

When he was in high school, he wanted to enter the big team, and it was for this reason.

This is the same as that of a prestigious university.

Just because you get into a prestigious university doesn't mean you'll be able to succeed right away.

The same need to struggle, the same need to work.

But I have to admit that if you can go to a prestigious university, the probability of success is much higher than if you go to a regular university.

One of the simplest examples is to check the success rate of Peking University and Tsinghua University, and then check the success rate of those ordinary universities.

As long as you set a uniform standard, whether it is social status, job title, achievement or income.

Those who graduate from prestigious universities have a much greater percentage of success.

Entering a wealthy family is the same thing.

Whether it's aiming for Koshien or the future.

As long as you want to learn baseball, the probability of success in joining a wealthy club is much greater than that of joining an ordinary high school.

Zhang Han never thought that this world would not turn away from him.

If he wants to succeed, in addition to hard work, choice and platform are equally important.

So he chose Qingdao High School.

It's not just because Takashima Rei treats him the best and values him the most.

is also because Qingdao High School has a background and strength.

As long as they are not bad and have a chance to take off, they will definitely seize it.

Sure enough, the addition of Zhang Han and Yu Xing, coupled with the rise of the ace Xiuze.

The Qingdao High School baseball team was instantly reborn and soared into the sky.

After just a few months of training, they entered Koshien.

On the day of the opening ceremony, it was held at Koshien Stadium.

Forty-seven teams entered the venue.

In the stands, tens of thousands of spectators were seated.

The scene was full of gongs and drums, red flags, and crowds......

Even if the scorching sun is in the sky, surrounded by this environment, the players on the scene are all excited.

Even the Qingdao High School baseball team, those third-grade seniors, are not exempt from vulgarity.

They trembled with excitement as if they were falling into a cloud.

Zhang Han didn't get much better.

He's played in national competitions before and even played in finals.

But even though the final is quite big, the stadium is not small.

But the audience is only a few thousand people at most, and the atmosphere is not the same thing as Koshien at all.

Now the scene is more than ten times bigger.

Many people who could only be seen on TV before are alive in front of them.

At such times, it is natural for players to have the illusion that they are the center of the world.

Not to mention other people, Zhang Han feels this way.

Actually, it's not too much to say that, during the two weeks that the Koshien Tournament was held, especially the summer Koshien Tournament.

The Koshien Stadium is the country's most important event.

At this time, even the World Cup has to be postponed.

As Koshien's influence has expanded year by year, and is not even limited to this country, in Zhang Han's homeland, it is occasionally seen that reports about Koshien are seen.

Baseball mecca like North America takes Koshien players very seriously.

Some major league teams will even send scouts directly to watch the game live.

Not to mention, the twelve professional baseball teams of the island nation itself.

A large number of professional scouts gather here, and tens of millions of fans are eagerly awaiting.

Such a grand event naturally attracts a large number of investors and advertisers.

With the intervention of capital, Koshien is getting bigger and bigger.

What exactly did the people on the rostrum say? What happened on the scene?

Zhang Han couldn't remember.

Everything around is so messy!

In his memory, there were people everywhere, and he was wrapped up in the crowd and became the center.

If they are allowed to play today, Zhang Han believes that all the players in Qingdao, including the seniors, will definitely play very well.

I'm afraid they'll even use up the strength to feed.

But none of this happened.

Seido High School had good luck and managed to avoid round 1.

They have advanced directly to Round 2.

In other words, without a match, they are already in the top 32 of Koshien in the summer.

Next, they are about to face off against the traditional powerhouse, Hosen High School in Kanto.

Baoxian, like them, won without a fight and entered the top thirty-two.

More than 40 teams, only a dozen of them have this treatment, and the probability is about a quarter.

Skip the 1st round and advance to the 2nd round.

The Qingdao High School baseball team had good luck and got a bye.

Zhang Han believes that this is also likely to be the special care of the organizers.

After all, Qingdao is also the top wealthy family in the country no matter what, and it hasn't entered Koshien for several years.

finally got in, if you are eliminated in the first round, it will be so faceless.

Why do you have to enter the top 32.

Of course, this is just Zhang Han's speculation, and it's really hard to say whether this is the case or not.

Their match was scheduled for the afternoon of the third day after the start of Koshien.

"I announce that the 98th Summer Koshien Tournament has officially begun!"

In the end, I don't know which leader it was, standing on the rostrum, and said passionately and generously.

The war in Koshien was ignited.
