Chapter 34: The classic bridge, the meeting of the opening ceremony
"This group ......"
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are very indescribable when they see the group battle table.
Their opponents in the first battle had to go through two rounds of fighting before they could meet them. Although at that time, the opponent won two games in a row, and the morale must be high.
But the Qingdao High School baseball team can also know their depth for the first time.
Of course, none of this is the most important thing.
The most important thing is that those 4 teams, with the strong intelligence base of the Seido High School baseball team, have not heard much of it.
This only proves that these teams are really not worth mentioning.
Their threat to the Seido High School baseball team can be said to be almost equal to none.
Not just the first round, but also the second round, the third round......
Qingdao High School baseball team, looking at the list one by one, did not find a single threat.
That's not to say that there are no people in the West Tokyo team.
The main thing is that the strength of the Seido High School baseball team is there, and even in West Tokyo, the fiercest battle zone in the country, the teams that can really pose a threat to them can be counted on their fingers.
In addition to the other two, which are also the three giants of West Tokyo, the remaining two are in Zone B, three in Zone C, and three in Zone D.
As for Zone A, it's not that there isn't a strong one. But none of them are strong enough to pose a threat to the Seongdo High School baseball team.
"Can't relax. There's no turning back in high school baseball, and it's no surprise that all third-graders bet their last hope here, and it's no surprise that they do anything. ”
Superintendent Kataoka, as always.
Even if he really can't find an opponent who can fight, he also reminded his friends not to be negligent.
"Yes!"
The players of the Seido High School baseball team all agreed.
As for whether it can really be done, then we can only go to the stadium to see the real chapter.
Superintendent Kataoka is still very prescient, and it is this first three games that do not seem to have any challenges, and the Seido High School baseball pair has also encountered a lot of challenges.
It's just that at this time, although the friends are full of promises, none of them think that Kataoka's concerns will eventually become a reality.
The strength of their team is there, and it's not like whoever wants to challenge it can do it.
"If nothing else, the opponent in the semifinals is Daocheng Industry. In the finals, it is possible to meet the top three high schools of the city, or other dark horses. ”
Seeing the battle table of the other half of the division, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team felt dazzled.
Although the three high schools of the city university should be the strongest of them, judging from their competition with the three high schools of the city in the spring competition, the three high schools of the city may not be able to go to the end.
The pharmacist who only lost to Qingdao by one point in the practice game, every time he met them, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team could feel the progress of this team.
If Zhang Han hadn't run out to save the game in that practice game, the probability of the Qingdao High School baseball team capsizing in the gutter is very high.
The junior high school in the city has to be a senior, although he has performed well. But will he really be able to fend off the attacks of the apothecary high school baseball team?
Especially, Thunder City?
If the pharmacist meets the third year of the city university, it is really hard to say what the final result will become.
In addition to the pharmacist, there are also immortal springs, Chengkong, and so on.
A series of strong teams with strength, waiting to play against them.
The third year of the city college, whether it can reach the finals, it's really hard to say.
But for the Qingdao High School baseball team, no matter which team reaches the finals, after such a series of fierce battles, the strength of their team will definitely change dramatically.
Even if the Qingdao High School baseball team can rest at ease, such a final may not be able to get benefits.
Not to mention, before the finals, they also have to fight against the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team.
Judging from the current grouping, the grouping of the first few rounds of the Qingdao High School baseball team is undoubtedly the most ideal.
The teams that can pose a threat to them will have to go to the semi-finals and finals.
Such a grouping can be called perfect.
But on the other hand, the final semifinals and finals of the Seido High School baseball team will face the toughest challenges in recent years.
Considering the current strength of the Qingdao High School baseball team, there are very few threats that the average team can pose to them.
Such a grouping can be said to be the best and worst grouping for the Seido High School baseball team.
So much so that after seeing such a grouping, the friends didn't know what kind of opinions they should express.
Coach Ochiai, the interest after coming back is not very high.
He looks at problems more than the players look at problems. Judging from his vision, the other two giants are the other two giants who can really pose a threat to the Qingdao High School baseball team now.
City Dasan and Daocheng Industry.
According to normal logic, it should be the Qingdao High School baseball team, which won the spring tournament championship in a division.
The other two teams, in another division.
At worst, it should also be the Baseball Team of Daocheng Industrial High School, the team that previously dominated the country on the field of Koshien in the spring, in a group.
The Qingdao High School baseball team was placed in another group with the high school junior of the city university.
The first scenario is the best arrangement for the Seido High School baseball team. The second scenario, although not good, is also an acceptable arrangement for the Seido High School baseball team.
But now, Inagi, who won the spring Koshien championship, and Seido High School, who won the spring tournament, have been divided into the same group.
The three high schools of the city have picked up the cheap.
For Qingdao and Daocheng, this is undoubtedly the worst arrangement.
As a representative of the Seido High School baseball team sent to draw lots, even though Ochiai never went on stage, he still felt gloomy.
Seeing Ochiai's depressed mood.
Superintendent Kataoka took the initiative to find his assistant.
"Ochiai senior, don't mind too much, maybe this is God's arrangement. All we can do is prepare for the next game and win the next game. ”
Down-to-earth, step by step.
Although the truth is superficial, this is indeed the best way out for the Qingdao High School baseball team at the moment.
After Ochiai heard this, his heart relaxed a lot.
"I hope that the people of the baseball team of Inagi Industrial High School can think the same way......
On the other side, the superintendent office of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team.
The Governor of the Friends of the Kingdom threw aside the grouping table in front of him.
He has the same opinion as Ochiai, and he is extremely dissatisfied with this grouping.
On the surface, it seems that the powerful teams are all divided into the other half.
But for the big three, they only have each other in their eyes.
Although the performance of the pharmacist was very fierce, the superintendent of the country did not think that this super dark horse who had won them in the spring competition before really had such a strong threat.
The teams that really made him feel threatened were each other.
And the biggest threat is Qingdao.
Before the finals, the last opponent that the Kokutomo supervised was also the Seido High School baseball team.
Before encountering them, the tactics and methods specially prepared by the Guoyou Supervisor for the Qingdao High School baseball team did not intend to expose them in advance.
But now, they could meet in the semi-finals. It's not even possible, but it's bound to meet.
As you can imagine, it must be a big battle between a volcano and the earth.
After that battle, all the hole cards prepared by both sides will definitely be exposed.
That way, no matter which team they meet in the finals, the opponent can target them in advance.
"It's a little more difficult than I thought before."
Although in the past ten years, Inagi Industry has become the uncrowned king of Western Tokyo. They can almost be said to be the hegemon of this division.
But now, they, the hegemon, have to face the most terrifying challenge.
I think of the strength of the Seido High School baseball team in the final of the Kanto Tournament.
The overseer of the country has to admit that this should be the year they are least sure of.
Still, that's fine.
If Inagi never encounters a threat, the players will never want to improve.
Both teams are regrouping.
But in fact, it's still a long time before they start playing.
The opening ceremony has not yet begun, and the first round of the summer tournament has not yet begun......
When they are seeded, it will be at least ten days later.
And just like that, it was the day of the summer competition.
Above Jingu Stadium.
Gongs and drums are noisy, firecrackers are ringing in unison, colorful flags are displayed, and people are crowded......
The baseball teams of each school enter the court in order.
The Seido High School baseball team, as the overlord of the spring tournament, was the first to walk onto the court.
However, it was Harada, a member of the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team, who spoke on behalf of the players.
For this, Senior Jun Izagiki is worried about it.
"It was supposed to be our family's Yuuki."
The champion of the spring tournament is not only the first to enter, but the captain of their team usually becomes the representative of the players.
However, who made the Inagi Industrial High School baseball team help Tokyo win a Koshien championship in the previous spring?
Despite being the champion of the spring tryouts.
But this honor has not been won by Tokyo for more than ten years. It's hard to get it back, so you can't publicize it and make it hard?
This directly contributed to the scene in front of him, and Masako Harada took the oath on behalf of the contestants.
"Don't worry, it's us next year!"
Zhang Han said.
He was wearing the No. 1 jersey, and when he said this, he seemed particularly credible.
So much so that the friends around me felt very uplifted when they heard it.
It's just that the mustachioed senior doesn't seem to buy it.
After listening to Zhang Han's words, he pouted directly.
"What's the use of that, next year, it won't have anything to do with us."
Jun Izaki did not question the credibility of Zhang Han's words, but said an extremely realistic question.
"It's hot!"
Born in Hokkaido, Akatsuki Shigaya, who lives in a place covered in snow and ice all year round, experienced the high temperatures of the Tokyo summer for the first time.
The whole person is as if it has been steamed dry.
Sawamura, who was standing behind him, supported him with his arm. I'm afraid that as soon as I let go, this guy will collapse directly.
"You're standing by yourself!"
Not only Akira Shibuyani, but even the players from Tokyo are extremely uncomfortable in the face of such high temperatures.
After standing in the scorching sun for two or three hours, the sweat had already soaked all the clothes.
After more than an hour of nonsense, the leaders on the rostrum finally ended the opening ceremony.
The players left one after another.
"I really admire these leaders, sitting so high, the sun shines directly on their faces. They were able to speak for so long, and if I had were, I would have died of thirst for lack of water. ”
The contestants were talking.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team, after leaving, were at the gate and waited for the bus to come over.
As a team with an exclusive bus, their movement is very convenient.
As the richest place in the country, Tokyo has many schools with this treatment, especially the three wealthy families.
The players of the Seido High School baseball team were waiting for the bus.
The other players also came out one after another, waiting together.
Those who know Qingdao players will also take this opportunity to take the initiative to come forward to say hello.
Most of the players on the Qingdao High School baseball team are very popular, and at this time, you can always meet a few familiar people and start talking to them.
This made several first-year players very envious.
The players of other teams even know their seniors, and they don't know when they will be able to have such treatment?
Fortunately, not all seniors have such treatment. For example, the Qingdao High School baseball team now wears Zhang Han, who has the No. 1 back number.
Compared with other friends, Zhang Han seems to be alone.
Those who took the initiative to talk, none of them took the initiative to greet Zhang Han.
Zhang Han is even more unlikely to take the initiative to greet these people.
So much so that with Zhang Han as the center, there was a hollow area around it.
"Is it because Senior Zhang Han's popularity is not good..."
"Maybe it's because he's so handsome, so he can't make friends."
"What nonsense, it's just a level ......"
The level is different, and it is naturally difficult to have fair interactions. It doesn't matter if you have a team's friends, when dealing with players from other teams, the level is very important.
All the way to the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team, the city university junior high school, and the pharmacist high school baseball team, the main players of these teams came out.
The emptiness around Zhang Han was completely broken.
The first one to rush up was Cheng Gongming, who deliberately broke Zhang Han over and carefully looked at the number behind him.
"It's amazing, young man, in such a short period of time, he has become the trump card of your team. Tenba-senpai, it won't be because of the blow......"
