On the day of the final.

The players of the Seido High School baseball team got up early, got on the school bus, and rushed to Jingu Stadium.

When we were on the bus, we barely talked about the opponents of today's race.

The matters that should be discussed were already discussed yesterday. Now they don't have much to discuss, and any changes will probably only be known until the actual game.

The bus slowly drove to the gate of Jingu Stadium.

As always, a group of reporters were waiting here, and as soon as the bus stopped, they surrounded them.

"Mr. Kataoka, today's match ......"

As soon as the door of the bus was opened, Kataoka's legs had not yet stepped off the bus, and the reporter's question was already rushing to his face.

Immediately after that, the microphone and interview equipment like long guns and short guns were handed over.

You can even see a reporter from TV Tokyo holding a camera and recording the game before the game.

It seems that before the start of the game, this part of the interview will also be broadcast on TV.

The players of the Yakushi High School baseball team arrived earlier than the friends of Qingdao, but they didn't have time to leave, and they were also blocked here.

Bang Lei Zang touched the back of his head, took a figure-eight step, half-squatted with his head held high, and said to the reporters with a smile.

"Compared to the traditional big teams in Nishitokyo, we are just a bunch of elementary school students. I'm lucky enough to play against them, but I don't dare to expect to win the game. ”

"Didn't you defeat the third high school of the city university before?"

The reporters obviously did not intend to let go of the bombardment so easily, and the questions of the interviews were quite pertinent.

But Bang Lei Zang is not a complete novice, he has galloped in the professional arena, and he is very familiar with the routines of reporters.

It is impossible to get carried away because of a few words of praise from a reporter.

"It's all a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. They probably don't know anything about a team like ours that pops up out of nowhere. ”

"Then can't you also use this advantage to deal with the Qingdao High School baseball team?"

The advantage of the dark horse team is great.

The expression on Thunderhide's face became very serious, and he denied it.

"It's different! We've never played against the junior high school before, and even if they were mentally prepared, they weren't familiar with the real style of our team. Plus a little bit of bad luck, and that's when we beat us. Seido is different, we've played against each other twice before. One official competition, one practice competition. At that time, the boys under my command had already used their strength to feed, but they were still no opponents. The difference in strength between the two sides is clearly there. So I don't have the luxury of hoping that in this game, these disciples under my command will be able to turn the tide. As long as they can show their strength and not be too embarrassed, I am very satisfied. ”

"Don't you want your disciples to win the championship? This is the final, and there is only one place for Nishitokyo to qualify for Koshien. ”

"Of course I think so, after all, they have already reached the finals, and of course I have to let these children work hard. But it's one thing to think about it, and whether you can do it is another thing? I don't force the kids, so even if they lose the game, I don't reprimand them after the game, but I encourage them. ”

Bang Lei Zang said that the head is the Tao.

Many of these powerful reporters know about the past and feel very incredible about the performance of the current thunder.

I can't imagine the insolent and unpopular genius baseball player more than ten years ago.

In ten years, it will be like this.

This is probably what people say, and people will eventually become the person they hate the most. Let the thunder hide more than ten years ago see the current thunder hide, I guess I can't wait to find a crack and bury myself.

Their family supervisor talked eloquently in front of them, so that the reporters could not find any flaws.

The pharmacist players who were hiding behind the thunder were all pale.

"Why does the overseer say things that will increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige? It's like we're really scared of the guys on the Seido High School baseball team. ”

Mishima muttered unhappily.

If it weren't for the way Thunder Zang supervised the punishment of the players, which was impressive, maybe Mishima would have rushed out to provoke.

He really couldn't stand this depression, and felt like his internal organs were about to explode.

"Don't be impatient, the superintendent must have his own intentions."

Akita dragged Mishima with his hands, preventing him from rushing out regardless of him.

At the beginning, he and Mishima and Thunder City were guided by the Thunder Collector to wield the baton.

Judging from his knowledge of his own overseer, the overseer must have something in mind.

The smile on Sanada's face couldn't be hidden.

"Sanada-senpai, what's so funny about this?"

Thunder Hide, who was being interviewed, looked like he was about to raise the white flag and surrender, but Mishima really couldn't understand it.

At this time, what else is there to be happy about?

"You don't understand, it's a strategy of oversight. Today's final has begun......"

Following Sanada's vision, Mishima and the others also took their eyes off Thunderhide and put it on the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

They had just gotten off the bus, and because of the relative proximity, even though there were more than a dozen reporters crowded in the middle, they still heard the words of Lei Zang.

The more I listened to this, the more toothaches my friends from the Qingdao High School baseball team felt.

They obviously couldn't figure out what they meant by Bang Lei Zang's words.

"Are you going to just give up the game?"

Although this possibility is almost non-existent, judging from the performance of Thunder Zang just now.

Other than this, it seems that there is no other purpose.

"Could it be, you want us to underestimate the enemy, right?"

Izaki muttered dissatisfied.

The opinion of the mustachioed senior is still very insightful. As soon as he finished speaking, several of the smarter players fell silent.

I really can't rule out this possibility.

Playing is not much different from fighting, and many times it is still very strategic.

First show the enemy to be weak, and then pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. Taking advantage of the opponent's negligence, he defeated the opponent in one fell swoop and won the game.

It's not unheard of in baseball. Especially some dark horse teams that suddenly appeared, they often use such routines.

But they have already won the city university three high school before!

In addition, the Seido High School baseball team has played against the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team twice. Although they won the game relatively easily these two times, in the process of fighting, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team were very impressed by the strength of the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

They can't be careless anyway!

"Maybe it's putting pressure on us......

Miyuki said.

At this time, there are speculations and everything, and Miyuki's guess is not unreasonable.

As the last remaining team of the three giants of Western Tokyo, their opponent in the final is the super dark horse Yakushi High School baseball team.

In this way, the Qingdao High School baseball team represents more than just themselves in today's game.

At the same time, it also represents the standard of the giants of Nishitokyo.

"The other party once defeated Daocheng Industry, and now they have eliminated the three high schools of the city, no matter how harmless they are disguised, this is a very tricky opponent."

"Let's cheer up and get ready to fight each other to the end with all our might!"

What kind of intrigue does the pharmacist high school baseball team have? The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team have no way to guess for the time being.

As Superintendent Kataoka told them yesterday, the opponent in front of them is no longer the same as the Yakushi High School baseball team they knew.

In the six months since its establishment, the strength of the other party has been improving.

A few months ago, don't look at the Yakushi High School baseball team that once performed the feat of slaying dragons.

But no one thinks they have what it takes to change the landscape of Nishitokyo.

A coincidental game doesn't mean anything, not to mention that the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team at that time was still in a very special situation. They had just returned from the Koshien field in the spring, and their fatigue had not yet been completely eliminated, and the Yakushi High School baseball team was able to defeat Inagi by almost having the right time and place at that time.

But it was such a team, such a team that was lucky enough to defeat Daocheng in the eyes of the giants at the time.

Today, however, it has the ability to change the landscape of Nishitokyo.

In yesterday's match between the pharmacist and the senior high school of the city university, they did not evade, nor did they use any tricks, but they faced each other head-to-head.

With strong strength and a stronger desire for victory, he finally defeated the three high schools of the city.

Their growth is obvious to all.

Even compared to a month ago, the current Yakushi High School baseball team seems to have changed to another team.

For the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, they no longer dare to pat their chests and say that they know the team in front of them.

What they can do is to give full play to their strength as much as possible, and then eliminate this super dark horse that came out of nowhere.

"The time is almost up, and the players have to change their clothes. I'm sorry that the interview will wait until after the game. ”

Seeing that the time for the start of the game was getting closer and closer, the ministers of the two teams invariably took the initiative to stand up, separate the reporters in front of them, and let the players pass.

As soon as the reporters parted, the players couldn't wait to rush into Jingu Stadium.

Because it was a joint operation, the two teams naturally converged.

Even though they've played each other twice before, many of the players have left each other's contact information, and they can barely even call each other friends if they don't even think about the upcoming match.

But if you want to say how familiar, there is definitely none.

For a while, the scene was a little awkward.

Everyone remained silent and rushed to their locker rooms.

Zhang Han fell at the end of the line.

It's not that he is slow to run, it's just that when he was just interviewed, many reporters surrounded him, and he finally rushed out.

Just as Zhang Han was about to leave, he suddenly heard someone shouting his name.

"Hansang!"

Zhang Han turned his head in surprise, he obviously didn't expect that the pharmacist high school baseball team would still have someone to greet him at this time.

"It's Mishima!"

Compared with other players on the pharmacist high school baseball team, Mishima is undoubtedly the one Zhang Han is most familiar with.

The first is Mishima's strength, which is one of the best in the entire Yakushi High School baseball team.

In addition, there is a very important reason, because Mishima has fought against Zhang Han many times when he was in junior high school.

Although the difference between the two was a year, Mishima Jeshou, who was in the second grade at the time, was already a well-known star player.

Speaking of popularity, it surpasses Tojo and Kanemaru.

When their current class of contestants graduates, many people think that Mishima will choose to join Inagi Industry or the city university.

Unexpectedly, he rejected the invitation of the three giants and chose to join a small team that was not well known.

At that time, many people ridiculed him, saying that it had been a few hours, and it might not be good. From the time he made that choice, perhaps his future was already predestined.

No one thought that Mishima, who had just joined the baseball team of Yakushi High School, would become famous with the team.

defeated Daocheng Industry, which had just dominated the country, and completed the great feat of warriors slaying dragons.

After entering high school, although the two fought twice, they didn't communicate much with each other.

Zhang Han was very strange, Mishima suddenly stopped himself at this time, what did he want to do?

"I've always admired Hansang very much, and when I first entered high school, I also aimed at Hansang."

This sudden fan confession made Zhang Han a little confused.

"Do you want to sign it?"

A few players on the pharmacist high school baseball team who haven't left yet, are directly happy.

"I didn't expect you to be such a Hansang!"

They obviously didn't expect that Zhang Han, who usually looks very cold, still has the potential to be a joker.

Mishima's face turned from white to red, from red to black, and finally black like the bottom of the pot.

"Not really!"

Zhang Han breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mishima asked him for an autograph at this time, he wouldn't know where to find a pen.

"I mean, even though you're my idol, I'm not going to show mercy when it's time to compete! Even if it's a light-speed balloon of more than 160 kilometers, I'll definitely be able to hit it. ”

The expression on Mishima's Jewish face didn't look like a joke.

Zhang Han was slightly stunned.

The micro-expressions on a person's face are difficult to hide and change.

Mishima was suddenly so confident, it didn't feel like he was daydreaming for no reason.

"So, you've hit 160 kilometers of straight balls with your bat?"

The Yakushi High School baseball team is in decent condition and has its own pitching machine.

Zhang Han could imagine how hard Mishima had practiced to be able to do this.

You must know the players of the baseball team of Daocheng Industrial High School, those superstars who once dominated the country with the team.

In the face of Zhang Han's lightspeed ball, they could only swing their sticks again and again in vain.

Mishima Jew, this little guy in the first grade, is now able to do this?

It's incredible.

Although Mishima didn't give any reaction, the little partner next to him, with a frightened look, had already helped verify Zhang Han's guess.

A smile appeared on Zhang Han's face, "But I want to remind you that you can't keep up with the speed of 160 kilometers and hit my ball. See you when it's time to compete! ”

Zhang Han said, running out with his back to the players of the pharmacist high school baseball team.

As he ran out, he waved his hand behind him without looking back.

"Let's go too, you idol, it's not easy to deal with."

Sanada, who deliberately followed the stay, saw that there was no more excitement to see, and took the lead in leaving with his friends.

Now that there are less than ten minutes left before the start of the game, they are also short on time.

Mishima waited until he couldn't see Zhang Han's back before running towards his locker room.

Since the day he joined the pharmacist high school baseball team, he has vowed to defeat Zhang Han.

In Mishima's small notebook, the names of the opponents he was going to defeat were recorded. Originally, there were more than a dozen names, and some of them had already been handed over, and the names were crossed out by him.

Now there are only seven or eight left.

Among these seven or eight names, the first place is Zhang Han of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

His luck was that the new Yakushi High School baseball team was formed and it was very strong.

For this reason, he has played against Zhang Han and the Qingdao High School baseball team twice.

Only this time, they failed.

In his direct conversation with Zhang Han, he was not able to take advantage of it in the slightest.

"This history is about to become a thing of the past!"

Mishima secretly gritted his teeth and swore an oath.

In today's match, he's going to change that anyway, he's going to beat Zhang Han.

He wants to lead the Yakushi High School baseball team to defeat Seido High School, and then enter Koshien in one go.

"Definitely!"

In the locker room of the Seido High School baseball team.

Kuramochi expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhang Han, who was late.

"It's almost time for the game to start, what are you just grinding around?"

As the core and main force of the Seido High School baseball team, even if Superintendent Kataoka did not arrange the task of pitching for Zhang Han.

The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team still have very high expectations for Zhang Han's pitching.

Even if he doesn't pitch, as long as he is there, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team feel that they have a special bottom in their hearts.

And the friends also believe that even if the superintendent has not made similar arrangements before, as long as the team really reaches the moment of life and death, Zhang Han will still return to the pitcher mound.

Just having such a means of pressing the bottom of the box is enough to make the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team let go of their hands and feet and attack boldly during the game.

"Sanada shouldn't be playing at first, his pitching is similar to Zhang Han's, although it is not as strong as Zhang Han's explosive power, but it is also very difficult to finish a game. So our goal is to aim at the beginning. Whoever is standing on the pitcher's mound is going to blow him up. ”

Before the players left the locker room, Superintendent Kataoka admonished.

In fact, these words have already been said last night, and he is just repeating them now, strengthening the string in the players' heads.

"Yes!"

Although they didn't make tactics against the Yakushi High Baseball Team because of the birth of the Yakushi High School baseball team.

But when the meeting was held last night, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team had already studied the situation of the pharmacist high school baseball team.

They have predicted all kinds of situations, and what kind of action should they take if such a situation arises?

In today's game, they will not show mercy.
