Hachioji Stadium.

In the Nishi-Tokyo 1/4 finals, the Seido High School baseball team played against the Valley High School baseball team, and the curtain has come to an end at this time.

The Qingdao High School baseball team ended the game early with a score of 13:0 in the high school and bloodied Valley High School.

After the game.

In the stands, there were all voices cheering for the Qingdao High School baseball team, and almost no one paid attention to Valley High School.

With such a big gap in scores, there is no way for the audience to say that Valley High School performed well against their will. Although judging from their own feelings, the new trump card of Valley High School still brought them some joy.

But this environment, this score......

Even if they have a little bit of a liking for the new ace of the Valley High School baseball team, they're too embarrassed to say it.

Take the shoes of the Valley High School baseball team.

At this time, they seem to have been abandoned by the whole world.

The third-grade contestant in the valley sat on his knees and was embarrassed, and he couldn't hold back anything with tears in his eyes.

Long before the game against the Qingdao High School baseball team, despite all their nonsense. But if you really want the players of the Valley High School baseball team to say it themselves, they probably don't think they have much probability of defeating Qingdao.

Defeat seems to be taken for granted.

The players of the Valley High School baseball team originally thought that they already had the worst in their hearts, and even if they did lose the game, they should not be too sad.

I didn't expect it to come to an end, but it wasn't like that at all.

The tears didn't listen to them at all at this time, and they came out, and they were very happy.

Since the new overseer, they have never felt that they have been slacking off for a quarter of an hour, and they have worked hard all the way.

I didn't expect that in the end, it was still like this.

Rout! It can even be said to be a rout!

Throughout the game, the players on the Valley High School baseball team were often able to come back from despair several times with a positive mindset.

But in the end, they lost completely.

This has nothing to do with working hard or not working hard, and not having a mentality.

The current score on the field is just the difference in strength between the two teams.

"Don't be too sad!"

There are valley third-year players, seeing their new trump card on the ground for a long time without speaking, their shoulders twitching.

I couldn't help but step forward to persuade him.

They lost, but before the game, they never made a big fuss.

The only one who really made a big splash in media interviews was their team's new ace Shiro Yamaguchi.

They were sad, and only because they lost the game. For third-graders, it's the end of their high school baseball career.

There is certainly regret for failure, but also nostalgia for a high school baseball career......

But Shirou Yamaguchi is different from them.

This guy was completely slapped in the face.

After this game, if there are no big surprises, he will definitely become a laughing stock.

No matter how good the young man's mentality is, he may be a little helpless in the face of such a situation.

As seniors on the same team, the third-year players on the Valley High School baseball team believe that they have a responsibility and obligation to persuade them when they are about to leave the team.

It's no big deal to make a big fuss!

It's not a big deal to be ridiculed for the time being.

He's still a sophomore, and he's got a chance to get back on the road in the future.

Facing the third-year senior, Shiro Yamaguchi raised his head.

"Isn't it a shame?"

The tears in Yamaguchi's eyes were indeed the same as those third-year contestants thought, and they flowed very vigorously.

If this is in the animation world, it is estimated that two eyes are rushing out of the tap water.

Shirou Yamaguchi shook his head, "I'm sorry! ”

Being slapped in the face, Shiro Yamaguchi didn't mind at all.

Probably when he bragged, he never thought of being responsible for the bull he bragged about.

But when the game was lost, I realized that the third-year seniors who had been accompanying and encouraging me were about to leave the team.

Shirou Yamaguchi still couldn't hold back his tears.

Emotionally, he can't accept it.

This is the case with the summer game, once you lose, not only is the chance of promotion gone, but for some third-year players, it is even equivalent to saying goodbye to the baseball stage.

So Koshien in summer really has too many emotions to be measured by ordinary competitions.

"That's what the third-graders realize!"

The third-year players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, seeing the Valley High School baseball team, the third-year players cried so sadly, and they also felt a little sympathetic.

They seem to be close to the end of their high school baseball career.

"I don't know ...... either"

Itai felt sour in his heart and muttered a word.

As soon as he was halfway through his words, he realized that it didn't seem lucky to say this, so he quickly shut up.

As third-year players, they have to face this day sooner or later.

But they hope from the bottom of their hearts that this day will never come.

Zhang Han glanced at it.

Most of the usually strong third-year seniors have a sour taste in their eyes.

Just won the game and successfully advanced to the semi-finals, how can this be uncomfortable?

"We reached the top 4, and there will be a reporter interview in a while, should the seniors adjust their mentality?"

Zhang Han took the initiative to speak.

Well?

Hearing Zhang Han say this, Iza Shiki Jun and them suddenly came back to their senses.

If they win the game, if they don't have the slightest joy on their faces, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to their opponents?

"yes!"

"Win!!"

"We're the Final Four!!"

Although the third-grade seniors began to celebrate, the words they said felt too perfunctory.

It's like a top student, who takes the test paper after the exam and says, "I took the first place again~"

As much as you want, you can be as fake.

"I think when the seniors leave, they will probably cry very sadly."

Zhang Han said with a smile.

As soon as he finished saying this, the third-grade seniors glared at him one by one.

A few second-year contestants were scrambling to cover his mouth.

This guy's upright personality broke out again, and the words he said were particularly heart-wrenching. Didn't he really see that the current third-year seniors of the Qingdao High School baseball team were not willing to discuss this topic at all?

But before they could rush up, the second half of Zhang Han's sentence had already come out.

"The passage of time is something we can't resist. What we can strive for is to let the seniors shed tears of joy at the last moment. ”

The people who were about to rush up were as if they had been pointed.

They suddenly felt that their eyes were sour, and they couldn't help but cry.

This guy deserves to be a top student.

Words can hit people's hearts.

"Then we'll see."

Ryosuke Kominato's face showed a smile.

"That's what you said, if you can't do it, even if you have a million followers, I'll still clean you up."

"Uh-huh! Hmmm!! ”

Yuki Tetsuya glanced at Zhang Han and nodded imperceptibly.

For the taciturn captain, this is also a rare recognition.

"Say goodbye to your opponent!"

At the end of the game, as is customary here in Tokyo, players from both teams stand together and salute each other goodbye.

"Thank you for the advice!"

"Thanks for the advice!!"

Although this game is not difficult for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

But as they saluted each other, none of them showed contempt on their faces.

"The players of the Seido High School baseball team are really well taught."

In the stands, a teacher from Valley High School was moved.

Before the game, their players were so loud, and now the result of the game is like this.

If a person is not a sage, who can not have a little temper.

The players of the Seido High School baseball team, even if they say something harsh at this time, it is understandable.

But they didn't.

That's upbringing.

"You guys played well!"

"It's also a good thing for us to lose so completely, and we have no regrets."

"Keep winning, don't lose......"

The Valley High School baseball team said convincingly.

As far as this game is concerned, the Valley High School baseball team was completely convinced by the Qingdao High School baseball team.

"Thank you!!"

Most of the players on the Seido High School baseball team answered each other politely.

There are also more individualized ones.

"Don't worry, we won't lose easily. You have also worked hard, and we will work together for your share. ”

Sawamura Eijun burst into tears.

It's just that the words that come out are more like deliberately slapping the other party in the face.

"Excuse me!"

Ryosuke Kominato maintained a smiling appearance, and Kuramochi Yoichi was smiling and not smiling, and the two of them supported Sawamura Eijun from left to right and dragged the little guy back.

Kuramochi said to the players of the Valley High School baseball team with a smile as he turned his head and smiled.

"Our elementary school kid has a bad brain, don't be surprised......"

"Did you play?"

Ryosuke Kominato said to Sawamura heartily.

When Zhang Han shook hands with Shirou Yamaguchi, a lot of things flashed in his mind like a movie.

makes him feel like things are wrong.

Soon, a big smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Han, who doesn't smile, feels very comfortable, handsome at 360 degrees without dead ends.

Once you laugh, the whole world melts.

The other players on the Valley High School baseball team had forgotten what they were going to say because of their proximity.

The female fans with binoculars in the stands were even more excited.

"Zhang Han, smiled!"

The reporters hurried to capture the picture, but Zhang Han's smile lasted less than a second. By the time they pointed the camera at Zhang Han, Zhang Han had already returned to his original appearance.

"Are you trying to taunt me?"

Shirou Yamaguchi's reaction was different from everyone else.

So much so that Zhang Han's smile was just revealed, and he took it back.

He looked at Yamaguchi, "Let's fight again next time!" ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Han turned around and left.

Although Shiro Yamaguchi has an extraordinary meaning to Zhang Han.

The appearance of this former opponent made the current Zhang Han really realize how much his strength has changed?

Zhang Han really wanted to get to know Yamaguchi and leave a contact information.

It's just that it seems that the other party doesn't mean that, so Zhang Han doesn't force it.

After all, some people are destined to have no way to be friends, but only to be rivals.

At the end of the game, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team thanked the audience, returned to the locker room to change their clothes and prepare to leave.

"There's a press conference, and I hope you'll be able to attend."

The organizers approached Kataoka and hoped that he could bring Zhang Han and Yuuki, representatives of the two teams, to the press conference.

"I said that I would not give any interviews until the final......"

The final in Nishitokyo was televised.

Regardless of whether Kataoka wants to or not, as a member of Seido High School, he must bring the contestants to the interview.

But until then, Superintendent Kataoka had always been very cautious about interviews.

Not every player can be like the players on the Valley High School baseball team without being distracted by the outside environment.

"This year's Summer Contest is really high-profile. We have been contacted by the sports channel and will be broadcast live on TV from the semi-finals onwards. Please! ”

The liaison staff of the organizers, one bowed to the ground, a standard ninety degrees.

Even if Superintendent Kataoka is not very willing, there is no way to refuse at this time.

"Okay!"

The little friend who was about to take the bus back to school suddenly received an urgent task for them to be interviewed.

"The semi-finals are five days away and the final is a week later."

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are still a little confused.

Do you want to start warming up now?

No matter what they think, since Inspector Kataoka has commanded it, they can only carry it out.

Kuramochi stood up and grabbed Sawamura, who was about to run forward.

"What are you going to do?"

"Aren't you going to be interviewed?"

Sawamura said with an innocent face.

"What does it have to do with you, did you play in this game today?"

Kuramochi said angrily.

In fact, not only Sawamura, but most of the players on the Seido High School baseball team had nothing to do with the interview.

Although the reporter wanted to do an exclusive interview with the entire team of the Seido High School baseball team, how could Superintendent Kataoka agree?

He was able to take people out to participate in interviews, which was already very face-saving.

"Yuuki, Izaki, Masuko, Minato, Chris, Tanba, Zhang Han, Miyuki, you guys come with me."

Superintendent Kataoka still takes great care of the third grade.

When he realized that he no longer had the ability to hold the player in his arms and protect him behind him.

He began to take the initiative to push the players out.

The players who were pushed out were mainly third-year players.

Compared with the first and second grades who still have a chance, this competition may be a matter of life and death for the third-year players.

In this tournament, if they mix well, they may be invited by good schools, and even have the opportunity to enter professional baseball directly.

As for Zhang Han and Yu Xing......

This is the type that has to be called.

Otherwise, Superintendent Kataoka called so many third-year players, but he didn't call out the real star players on the team, and it wouldn't be reasonable.

Being interviewed is nothing new for the Qingdao friends who have fought in Koshien.

When you are interviewed, you can't just say whatever you want.

There are only a few questions that can be answered.

The answer you can give is also fixed.

Thank you to the leadership, thank you to the school, thank you to the Earth, thank you to the Milky Way......

We will continue to work hard!

In total, these two sentences, no matter how he asked, just answered.

Although it is difficult for you to make you brilliant with this answer, it will definitely not make you look ugly.

Zhang Han, I like it very much.

Compared with other friends on the Qingdao High School baseball team, Zhang Han has obviously more opportunities to be interviewed and contact with the media.

If it weren't for so many clichés, Zhang Han wouldn't even know how he would survive it.

These clichés still work, especially when you're tired.

Although this kind of cliché seems a little routine, nothing can go wrong.

Until the end, the reporter asked the most critical question.

"I wonder what the goal of the Seido High School baseball team is this summer?"

The reporter who asked the question seemed to be in high spirits.

Looking at this question alone, there is really nothing.

Basically, when you are interviewing, you will be asked.

But asking Qingdao, especially at this time of year, is particularly intriguing.

Last year, the Seido High School baseball team made it all the way to Koshien and reached the quarterfinals in Koshien.

Completed the recovery of the giants.

It stands to reason that as long as the level of the Seido High School baseball team does not decline significantly, they must want to dominate continuously.

When it comes to goals, it is natural that it cannot be said to be a goal in Nishitokyo, but only a goal for the whole country.

Having already reached the quarter-finals last year, this year they will either maintain their glory from last year or go one step further.

The semi-finals, and even directly reached the finals.

But such an answer is obviously weaker.

You know, in this division, there is also a national overlord of the spring trials.

If the goal of the Seido High School baseball team is the quarterfinals and the semifinals.

In the next game, how to play against the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, which once dominated the country?

Superintendent Kataoka's face became extremely serious.

As the supervisor of a team, even if he has infinite ambitions in his heart, he should not say it blatantly.

Shoot the first bird!

Before actually winning the championship, it is basically difficult for the team to shout this goal in advance to the end.

"Our goal, of course, is national domination."

It is inconvenient for the supervisor to speak, and as the captain of the team, he naturally has to step up.

Moreover, the concept of such words coming out of the mouth of the player is not the same as the concept that comes out of the mouth of the supervisor.

After the players speak out, even if the Seido High School baseball team doesn't do it in the end, everyone will have an understanding.

After all, there are still many people who like ambitious players.

But if it's oversight, that's a different concept.

"Qingdao High School, the goal is to dominate the country!"

"The semi-finals haven't started yet, and the smell of gunpowder is already all over Tokyo."

"The championship battle of Nishitokyo, the champion of Koshien in the spring vs the champion of the Kanto convention. Koshien finals advanced! ”

There is no need to wait until the next day, the interview has just ended, and the overwhelming reports on the Internet have already been written.

The semi-finals of the semi-finals of the West Tokyo semi-finals have not yet been played, and the smell of gunpowder is already very strong.

As for the other semi-finals, the senior high school of the city university played against Pharmacist High School.

Although the standard of these two teams is also very good, the collision between them must be very exciting.

But compared to the match between the Qingdao High School baseball team and Inagi Industry, the matchup between them seems to be less attractive.
