"Zhang Han, come to my office."

After Inspector Kataoka finished speaking, he took the lead in leaving the team and went back to his office.

Jingu Temple and Descending Valley Xiao are both looking like they have lost their souls.

The friends around him had no way to comfort the two of them.

Those who stayed didn't know what to say to these two little guys who participated in the competition with them and didn't make it to Koshien in the end.

As for those players from the second and third armies, they have nothing to say......

After all, these two guys, as first-year newcomers, have already been trusted and expected by the supervisors and coaches to be selected for the first army.

Now because the two of them are a little worse than the other two newcomers, they are staying.

This is also taken for granted by those who have been eliminated.

Why were they eliminated in the first place?

It's not because these first-year newcomers, no matter what aspect of their performance, are outstanding enough.

So they can only choose to abdicate and make way for Xian.

Now feng shui is taking turns, and it is the turn of the two of them, and the two of them have to accept their fate.

The most emotionally charged are some first-year rookie players.

"Even those two people are eliminated..."

It's no wonder that first-year newcomers have such feelings.

It's really that when Akira Shibuyani and Jinguji first joined the team, the impression they left on everyone was too amazing.

Both of them were eliminated.

Even if the third-grade seniors retire, do they, newcomers, really have a chance to be selected for the army?

In the minds of the vast majority of newcomers, a big question mark has emerged.

There is no answer to this question in their minds.

This means that they don't really know if they really have a chance.

Are you really ready to take on the challenge of marching into the first army?

"Damn!"

Kanemaru's forehead was covered with sweat.

He is now a player in the second army, and he is only one step away from the position of the first army.

Since joining the Seongdo High School baseball team, he hasn't been slacking off for a quarter of an hour.

We have been working hard towards a higher goal.

Although he was not as conspicuous as the other first-year newcomers, Kanemaru knew it well in his own heart.

He's made a lot of progress in this period of time.

Compared with him who just joined the team, he has already been reborn.

But even so, let him compare it with Akira Shibuya and Jingu Temple, and Kanemaru knew it very well in his heart.

Compared with these two super monsters, I'm afraid there is still a big gap.

But even these two super monsters were not able to advance to Koshien. After the team has already qualified, they are eliminated from the competition.

This made Kanemaru, who thought he was inferior to the two of them, feel unprecedented pressure.

Standing still is not a no-go.

The level of the first team players of the Qingdao High School baseball team is much stronger than he imagined.

If he wants to be a part of it too, there are no shortcuts.

Only catch up.

"I'm not going to give up!"

Tojo didn't react as much as Kanemaru, but he had the same determination as Kanemaru.

They will not give up on their fate, no matter what the cost or effort.

They also want to go one step further and become a regular part of the team.

This selection is very touching for the players of the second and third armies.

Two recognized talents were eliminated just because they were a little worse than the other two newcomers at the time of the competition.

This also made the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team clearly realize that if you want to enter the first army, it is not enough to be excellent.

You have to be stronger than everyone else!

Even better than the players of the first army.

You'll be able to stay until the end.

Zhang Han saw the reaction of his friends and secretly sighed that his own supervision was really a master of mobilizing the emotions of the players.

Every time he finished speaking, these friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were as energetic as if they had played chicken blood.

Humans are very lazy animals.

As long as you can sit, never stand, as long as you can lie down, never sit......

This is common to all human beings.

Even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, when they joined the Qingdao High School baseball team, they had already made up their minds to dedicate these three years to baseball.

It's okay for a short time, but it's a long time, and I'm tired of training......

People will still slack off unconsciously.

As long as you slack off once, there will soon be a second, a third......

It's an inertia.

There is such an overseer as Kataoka, and he is infused with chicken blood every once in a while.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team can always maintain a strong fighting spirit to fight against their opponents.

Even if you slack off in this round, after listening to the words of your own supervision, you can quickly cheer up in the future.

Having such a supervisor who incites the players is really helpful for the motivation of the players.

Just said that, it gave a shot in the arm to many players of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Zhang Han absolutely believes that in the future, these friends will definitely use training to digest their surging passion.

"I'll go first!"

Supervising the summoning, Zhang Han didn't dare to be ambiguous, and after greeting the friends around him, he went straight over.

In the office, Superintendent Kataoka didn't say anything else, just told him not to forget to call.

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised others."

Even if he doesn't think about the team and himself, just for the sake of the bonus, Zhang Han will never miss such an event.

As for calling home, it's not in a hurry.

Zhang Han returned to the team and practiced with his friends.

Sawamura Eijun and Kominato Haruichi, who were left behind, are full of energy......

One was born with a big heart, and the other had a worried heart.

They all played at a good level.

Not to mention the other friends, the final list has been determined, and the only thing they need to prepare next is the Koshien competition.

"I don't know when the group will be divided?"

For the friends of the Seido High School baseball team, the next thing they are most concerned about is the grouping of Koshien.

Although there is a high probability that you will be able to meet a weak team in Koshien's game, there will be no easy game in general.

After all, the representatives who can participate are selected from various regions, and more than half of them are top giants.

To have tradition, to have a heritage, to supervise and supervise, to have equipment......

These teams can be summed up in one sentence, that is, there is nothing missing.

They are well-equipped in all respects and have basically no obvious weaknesses.

Even though there are strong and weak teams, there are no weak teams that can make it to Koshien in general.

In the face of such a competition, the grouping of the game is particularly important.

No matter how strong your strength is, you will meet several in one breath, and they are all the top giants in the country.

Alternate to dominate the country.

Every game, even if you win, makes you peel off your skin.

How many rounds can such a game last?

Even if the Seido High School baseball team is played against such a team during the game.

They don't have much drama and singing, and they are basically bound to lose.

The question is where to end?

Lost in the first few rounds.

There is nothing to say about this.

After all, a large part of the grouping depends on luck.

Judging from the previous luck of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the probability that they can hold on is really not very high.

After all, their luck has not been very good, and it is normal for the Qingdao High School baseball team to encounter strong teams one after another.

All the training was over, and after Zhang Han finished washing, he took out his mobile phone.

His fingers swung nimbly across his phone, flipping through the nearest news sites......

During the period when Koshien was about to begin, nothing happened, and it seemed particularly calm.

It's like the calm of the storm.

Zhang Han casually threw his phone to the side of the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"Hansang, didn't you go to practice tonight?"

Tojo, who returned to the dormitory, looked like he had just finished washing, and he looked at Zhang Han in great surprise and asked.

In Tojo's impression, Zhang Han can basically be regarded as the latest one to come back from the dormitory.

He trains late every day except during the tournament......

When others evaluate Zhang Han, they often say that he is a genius and was born with the ability to play baseball.

But Tojo knew it very well.

Zhang Han's predecessors can achieve such dazzling achievements, although there are reasons for their talent, but a larger part of the reason is due to his efforts.

Although he didn't train as late as other first-army seniors, he was the earliest of all the seniors.

Even when everyone is training together, Zhang Han's training efficiency is basically the highest among all players.

Everyone commented privately, who on the Seido High School baseball team practiced the longest?

Everyone usually votes for three people, namely Tetsuya Yuuki, Toru Masuko, and first-year monster newcomer Eijun Sawamura.

But Tojo is different from those friends.

If he is allowed to vote, the player who will make the most effective use of his training time will be the one who has been training the longest.

It should be Hansang.

He was able to make such progress and honor now, and he worked hard with his own sweat.

Such a senior came back so early today?

This surprised Tojo greatly.

Could it be that seniors have had enough of training and want to change their attitude towards life?

Facing the doubtful Tojo, Zhang Han didn't say anything, just nodded.

Then he grabbed his phone, put on his coat, and left the dormitory alone.

"Senior......

Tojo is not sure.

Zhang Han waved his hand behind him, signaling that the other party did not have to worry, he was fine.

Since the last time Zhang Han spoke on the phone with his sister, he hadn't taken the initiative to call home for a long time.

When she returned to her hometown, her mother seemed to have forgotten that she had a 16-year-old son.

I didn't even call.

None of them had figured out how to talk to each other.

Zhang Han still knows his mother very well, and if Ms. Lan He doesn't take the initiative to speak, it's better not to ask too much.

This time, the phone call was just like an ordinary notification.

There was a beeping sound coming from the phone.

It rang a dozen times before the other end of the phone was connected.

"Hey!"

The voice came, it was his mother.

Didn't call yourself dear, and didn't be as enthusiastic as before.

The word mom came to Zhang Han's mouth, and he swallowed it back hard.

If Ms. Lan He is inconvenient to admit that she has such a big son now, wouldn't it be a little bad to call the other party's mother directly?

"I can't go back on the 22nd......"

Zhang Han originally wanted to say that he might not be able to go back that day, and he would take the plane on the 24th to change back.

As a result, before he could say anything, Ms. Lan's anxious voice came from the other side.

"Has your sister already called you? This stinky girl ......."

Ms. Lan obviously misunderstood Zhang Han and thought that he had decided not to go home for the time being after knowing something.

This was obviously unacceptable to Ms. Lan, so much so that her voice sounded particularly anxious.

"Don't listen to that girl, I'm just ordinary friends with him......"

Ordinary friends, such a anxious explanation......

Zhang Han's mother has the face of a star, but she does not have the acting skills of an actor.

When the family was in Tokyo, whenever there was a suitor around Ms. Lan, Lan He always held his head high.

"The charm of the old lady has not diminished, ...... back then"

She's optimistic.

Even if these suitors caused her a lot of trouble, Ms. Lan didn't mind very much.

Although she looks like a little girl, she is a very strong person in her bones.

If you are not strong enough, how can you raise two children alone in a foreign country?

If you are not optimistic enough, you will face huge life pressures and the future prospects of your two children......

She's probably going to collapse a long time ago.

Such a woman would explain anxiously.

As everyone knows, the more she explains this, the more it proves that the identity of that man is definitely not as simple as an ordinary friend.

The look in Zhang Han's eyes dimmed slightly.

"You don't have to explain, I'll be more at ease in that case."

Lan He, who was on the other side of the phone, probably also realized his gaffe, and he lost any words for a while.

Zhang Han glanced up at the sky, and there were remnants of stars in the sky......

If his memory is not wrong, his mother has met many people who are good in the eyes of outsiders in the past ten years.

There are foreign ones, and there are domestic ones.

Although looks are not omnipotent, you can't deny that having a look that makes someone fall in love at first sight is indeed more likely to attract suitors.

It's just that Ms. Lan has never agreed.

From early twenties to mid-thirties.

I have survived for more than ten years, and I met my favorite object in a short time after returning to my hometown.

Is this possible?

"Is it Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Han asked with a wry smile.

In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to face it all the time.
